11 Harrowhouse (1974)

 

Directed by Aram Avakian. Charles Grodin. Diamond heist. Grodin wrote the script. I have the book by Gerald Browne and ordered the DVD when it was released by Shout! Factory because it had been unavailable. Candice Bergen, James Mason, John Gielgud. Pretty solid 70s thriller.

RIP Charles Grodin

My mother’s favorite comedy was Midnight Run but she didn’t like all the cursing & for years searched in vain for a copy of the movie that had the curses removed & now I hope Charles Grodin is with her in heaven explaining to her that they didn’t sell those

Charles Grodin, RIP

 

One of the best. One of my favorites. He made everything he was in better. I would strongly recommend The Heartbreak Kid if you haven't seen that one. Brutally funny. He was 86.
