Al Collins was a fixture in my town back in the day. And his vehicles too, from his passionate purple Porsche (later flocked black with a spigot attached to the front) to his King Crab (Toyota King Cab pickup with massive air horns)

But it was a memorable sight seeing the crazy man wearing his purple jumpsuit shoehorned into his Passionate Purple Porsche Sportster.

His wife owned a canvas shop in Mill Valley so he spent a lot of his afternoons socializing in town before heading off to "The City' for work. It could take him an hour to walk one block, stopping to talk with people, dogs, kids, or whatever. He enjoyed life.

for 90 minutes straight "after Al had been banished to WNEW's midnight show, "Milkman's Matinee"

Also from Wikipedia:
"Al came back to WNEW and worked out of the Purple Grotto, two and a half stories underground."
"Harrison, the long-tailed purple Tasmanian Owl, showed up early on."

It's worth reading.

It was Gene Hackman after his wife told him that Nathan Lane was actually a man, not Robin Williams' wife.

It's a film based on a real story set in the San Francisco Bay area, including Vallejo and Napa.

Yes, Kevin Kline did utter that line in A Fish Called Wanda, but it's not the movie I was referring to.

Took a stab that it was from the rug stealing scene.

Wrong, I'm guessing from the dinglessness of it.

It's flawed as it relates to the case, but there's some good acting and it's very atmospheric.

Some day I'll tell you how I linked John Wayne to the case.

I read Robert Graysmith's book on Zodiac back in the 1980's.
The movie was based on his book.
There's no doubt in my mind that Arthur Leigh Allen was Zodiac (He died in '06 I think)
(The Vallejo Police Dept. had only one suspect from day 1.....Arthur Leigh Allen)

I've seen it now at least 20 times, and it still gives me the "chills".

John Wayne reportedly asked director Don Siegel about playing Harry Callahan in "Dirty Harry", a thinly disguised treatment of the Zodiac case, but Siegel thought Wayne too old for the part.

Siegel did, however, cast Wayne as John Bernard Books in "The Shootist" (based on a novel by Glendon Swarthout)... Wayne's last film role as a dying gunfighter. The scriptwriter for the film was the author's son Miles Hood Swarthout.

There's a scene in "The Shootist" where Books comes upon landlady Bond Rogers (Lauren Bacall) playing piano and singing a ditty from Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado", and he chimes in with the "tit-willow, tit-willow" refrain.

That scene is not depicted in the novel. I read it.

Zodiac wrote a letter extensively quoting "The Mikado" on or about July 26, 1970, incuding the unmistakable mention of a tit-willow.

I wrote Miles Hood Swarthout several years ago to ask whether he had included the line in his screenplay, or any rewrites. He replied emphatically that he did not, and that "that was all Don Siegel."

Thus, Siegel had John Wayne quote Zodiac.

This is my sole meaningful development of the case. To date. I'm still hopeful that I'll bring further light to bear on some coded letters.

ASS-HOLE was already answered.

The baby in "Meet the Fockers" ...his first spoken word was ASS-HOLE, (thanks to Ben Stiller)

The are a plethora of movies where "asshole" was used.

1968 or 1969 autobiographical movie directed by Carl Reiner about his earliest exposure to show biz.

If I guessed the right flick, the line was spoken by Reni Santoni (as the young Reiner) in response to machine shop boss Jack Gilford singing "It's up to YOU to do the Ha Cha Cha."

Saw this at Fort Hood (TX) army base in 1969 after a year in you-know-where after being kidnapped/shanghaied by Uncle Sam.

Will set up profile soon, just wanted to jump in.

Welcome to DU!

I've often wondered why Rene Santoni never made it big in Hollywood.
I think the only time I ever saw him on TV was in a couple of very funny Seinfeld episodes, where he played a restaurant owner named Poppy.

I'm sure this line appears in many movies, but I recall the scene late in NCFOM when Josh Brolin's widow says it to psycho Javier Bardem just before he dispatches her (offscreen).

Hope I can add to my winning streak of one.

The actress who played Brolin's wife is from Scotland, I think, and has a very heavy Scottish accent when she talks.

I don't have high confidence this time, but I think Alec Baldwin said it to Jack Lemmon when Jack malingered at the coffee station instead of giving his undivided attention to Alec's sales group pep talk.
