In the 1970's Paul Mazursky was the director that personified America in the for many outside America (USA), that there is another America under the surface, but a bit lost. European digged him and raised him to the skies, but for the wrong political reasons. In the 1980's he became more sophisticated, as most who survived the 1970's did. Then he made a turkey with a space vegetable, and was nearly not heard about again, such a waste. He would have been 90 today! His movies as director and sometimes writer: Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice 1969 Alex in Wonderland 1970 Blume in Love 1973 Harry and Tonto 1974. For many outside USA and English-speaking countries, Art Carney was nearly an unknown. Next Stop, Greenwich Village 1976 An Unmarried Woman 1978 Willie & Phil 1980 Tempest 1982 Moscow on the Hudson 1984 Down and Out in Bevery Hills 1986, The first Disney movie to get an R-Rating, though made by their sister company Touchstone. Moon Over Parador 1988 Enemies: A Love Story 1991 Scenes from a Mall 1991 The Pickle 1993, after this debacle he had a hard time finding work again as a director. Hitchcock, Renoir, Huston and many other well known directors have made a stinker too, but returned... Faithfull 1996, Mazursky's last theatrical movie After this he only directed two TV Movies and one Documentary. Thanks for watching! Feel free to discuss!

And in Blackboard Jungle, they named the school after him!
I always thought Harry and Tonto was one of the greatest examples of the golden age of American film in the 1970s--a film about adults for adults. Then the whole Star Wars/superhero stuff came along and obliterated that age.
I have that vintage Snoopy soap dish that Donald Sutherland's holding, by the way.

If you still have that Snoopy soap dish, could be worth a few bucks... Harry and Tonto, love that movie myself

I'm not parting with any of my Peanuts memorabilia! Were you not the lady who was adjudging that a certain movie was "a film about adults for adults." ?
