My favourite Eli Wallach film, Baby Doll, also starred Karl Malden. It was Wallach's first film and apparently his favourite too.

Baby Doll (1956) has been called notorious, salacious, revolting, dirty, steamy, lewd, suggestive, morally repellent and provocative. Time Magazine was noted as stating: "Just possibly the dirtiest American-made motion picture that has ever been legally exhibited..." New York's Cardinal Spellman declared the film "evil in concept... certain to exert an immoral and corrupting influence on those who see it." The stark, controversial, black and white Southern drama was so viciously denounced by the Legion of Decency upon its release with a "C" (or condemned) rating that many theaters were forced to cancel their showings, but it still did moderately well at the box office despite the uproar. Baby Doll's impact was heightened by its themes: moral decay, lust, sexual repression, seduction, infantile eroticism and the corruption of the human soul.

It's quite extraordinary. You can watch it full here.

My favourite Karl Malden film was a western, One Eyed Jacks with Marlon Brando.

Not much difference in us really, Dujon :

One, a slightly eccentric dance-loving, Anglophile with Irish ancestry, who can speak some Spanish, has musical taste that ended at 1990 and is mainly a "been there, done that" past most of it, pensioner who plays with paint, rather than a physical partaker, these days.

Two, A long time emigrant librarian from these fair shores who is a lumberjack and he's all right. He is an expert on snow, amongst other things, and probably sings " Allouette" in French in the shower and may wear a Mountie's outfit at parties.

In addition to being extensive readers, we also both have a rather strange hobby in supporting Bolton Wanderers .

He's definitely left a legacy in the fell-running scene.

I had not heard of him - he only opened his store a year before I left England. I've been reading about him - an impressive Boltonian. RIP.

Generally when backed into a corner and told I can't use Aaron Mooy as the player I think is the greatest ever to have played the beautiful game I choose Di Stefano as my realistic pick. The man won 5 European Cups on his own.

All four of them died of cancer. Not that any of them were going to die peacefully in bed as nonogenarians, mind.

Does that include the one who died from a heroin overdose?

Sad day.

As a kid I'd heard bits of the popular Clash songs and the odd Buzzcocks track but the Ramones were the first punk band I ever sat down to listen to properly and it changed my life.
