 An outrageous black comedy film that still seems inconceivable, one that pushed the boundaries of acceptability in 1970 mainstream Hollywood. Irreverent, foul-mouthed, vulgar, & tasteless, reasons I'm not sure I fully understood why I found it so riotously funny, thinking back it was Gordon... R.I.P George Segal

Did you see it in a theater, with the studio approved ending? Or on home video, with the REAL ending?

He starred in a very funny movie that introduced us to an unknown actor named Denzel Washington. RIP  |

I remember him on Johnny Carson--He liked to play the banjo there.
He was great in either comedy or drama, but I think he was best in comedy..
He enriched about everything he played in: King Rat, Ship of Fools, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? come to mind.
R.I.P.

Oh no, that's sudden and sad. He was still working steadily on The Goldbergs too as Pops.  I'm missing a lot of his movies but the ones I've seen so far include: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I'm going to miss George Segal. Only last week I was here writing that I'm going to miss Yaphet Kotto, and I do. Fortunately, both men lived good long lives, both brought happiness to a great many through their work in film and music.
Thanks so much for posting this tribute; it's awesome.
Segal worked with some of the key directors to emerge from the days of live television, filmmakers who redefined cinema with audacity, veracity and technique, filmmakers like Sidney Lumet, Mike Nichols, Jack Smight and Irvin Kershner. Directors actively sought the opportunity to work with Segal due to his diverse set of talents. Interestingly, he often chose to work with eccentrics or iconoclasts, be it Phil Karlson, Carl Reiner, Roger Corman or Robert Altman, as well as singular talents from Europe like Franco Brusati, Ivan Passer and Sergio Martino. I think it's fair to say he was very much his own man. I'll remember him as the perfect combination of dexterous, multi-talented old school entertainer and subversive, philosophical, modernist performer.
He's remembered at The Guardian : George Segal (1934 - 2021)
Thanks for the movies, Mr. Segal ... see you on the other side ...

He was everywhere in the 70s.
He played Sam Spade's son in The Black Bird.
I wasn't into comedies. I liked his role the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
That and the Quiller Memorandum.

Hi there, Thankfully both endings are included in an official dvd release that we have here. Looking over the stills of George Segal's Gordon Hocheiser there are so many faces to his character, I nearly turned it off in the first few minutes, but when Gordon dressed in suit wipes off his mothers dressing table I realized this was going to be no ordinary film...
