where clocks are big and weekends are lost

 

Ray Milland


Anolther interesting component to the 1970 film, Love Story, is that Oliver's father is portrayed by classic-Hollywood-era actor Ray Milland (1907 - 1986).


        Highlights of Mr. Milland's body of work:

The Lost Weekend    (1945, directed by Billy Wilder)

Dial M for Murder    (1954, Alfred Hitchcock)

The Big Clock    (1948, a famous noir film)

Ministry of Fear    (1944, based on a Graham Greene novel)

...and a 1971 episode of Columbo, titled "Death Lends a Hand."

two of the Comments under the video:


Why do I suddenly feel like grabbing a cigarette and contemplate my sad existence in black and white, while talking to myself in French which I don't speak?



I remember when the movie ended.  Everyone stayed in their seats.  As though we could change the ending.
