Description

GGACP celebrates the birthday (May 3) of the late actor, author and Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne with this ENCORE of a memorable conversation from 2014. In this episode (a Gilbert favorite), Robert talks about long-forgotten character actors, the introduction of Cinemascope, the evils of colorization and "pan and scan" and his friendships with Lucille Ball, Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland (to name a few). Also, Judy Garland holds court, Orson Welles disses Ted Turner, Vincent Price shares the screen with Art Linkletter and Robert appears in the "Beverly Hillbillies" pilot. PLUS: "The Wrong Box"! "Inside Daisy Clover"! Burgess Meredith directs! Zero Mostel acts out! And the greatest film school in the world!
