At one stage didn't McLure have a dog named 'Clouseau'. Named after the character from the Pink Panther movies?
Anyone remember this? Anyone? Or just my vivid imagination?

The Blueseum is reliably informed that:
Percy Jones dubbed Mark Maclure "Sellars" because he used to bumble his way around the place like Peter Selllers' famous character Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther series.
The Blueseum will be updated accordingly.

Yes! I knew I was imaging things about the way Mark go his nickname.
I am also pretty sure he had a dog that he named Clouseau.

The story I had always heard was The Pink Panther one.
Got to admit the story about The Party was a new one on me.

I also had the hots for her. I think she was married to Andy Williams at one stage, but apart from the Party she is most famous, or infamous, for shooting her US Olympic skier husband dead (i think his name was Spyder something). I think they ended up finding it an accident although it certainly sounded a bit dodgy.
Great film, first half is better than the second half which descends quickly into farce.
Edit: of course it gave the film world the famous scene/line: "Birdie Num Num"
Double Edit: Sellars had more talent in his little finger than you'll ever aspire to Thy60

Didn't say he wasn't talented (and tortured). I said he didn't make me laugh. Silly accents, bumping into doors and falling over unfortunately don't do it for me. I know I'm in the minority there. His dramatic stuff, particularly early British work like "I'm Alright Jack" was brilliant.

* Going by your recent posting containing the program of Fritz Lang films I'd say you had some sort of connection to the industry. I have a major biography on Lang and one day I'm going to read the bloody thing.
* Yes, I was aware of the ski-instructor episode but unlike you found it too convoluted to mention. Never did hear what the outcome was.
* I reckon you might be somewhere between 10 and 15 years younger than me.
* Yes, I did give the Birdy NumNum line a mention. Pointless as the Howdy Pardner line.
* All good.
Thanks for the profile.

Thanks for the profile.
You're welcome, Clarice. Now fly, fly, fly. Fly, fly, fly.
One of my all time favourite films, along with one of the consistently voted top ten of all time: Dr. Strangelove, or how I stopped worrying and loved the bomb.
The party opening scene, please, quality stuff. The dying trumpet....
And Thylacine, I have spent a fair bit of time in that exact pocket, (do you remember the saints guy who would turn up with the lace up vest top ?).....and I also spend a fair bit of time calling love songs to players not performing.....
