George Segal

It is... what is going on in the relationships between people, between these things happening.

George Segal and Timothy Bottom, Richard Widmark, even Helen Hunt has a tiny part.

It's incredible.

I mean, I still love watching this movie.

that sort of thing i i still find it pretty but let me just say one of my favorite lines is when um george seagal was talking to is Henry Fonda and Henry Fonda is trying to send him to the Senate and he goes, well, you do it.

And Henry Fonda says, it happens to be my anniversary.

And George Segal says, so take your wife.

I mean, just.

That is Nick Segal.

That is George Segal's nephew.

Whoa.

He is in three films.

Yeah.

And this was George Segal.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

He owes me money, by the way.

George Segal owes you money.

A little bit.

How does he owe you money? Drug deal.

But let's move on.

the Jewish mother also reached movie screens.

In 1970, Carl Reiner directed Where's Papa?, starring George Segal as a lawyer attempting increasingly absurd escapes from his demanding elderly mother, played by Ruth Gordon.

It was a far cry from Molly Goldberg, whose neighbors relied on her despite her meddling.

Now getting away from mother was the entire premise.

And then I remember, I never saw her laugh so hard.

And she watched this movie, Where's Papa with George Segal and Ruth Gordon.

And she was crying laughing so hard.

And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George.

The synopsis I just borrowed from TCM Turner Classic Movies website, written by Andrea Passafiomi, because I was like, this summarizes about as succinctly as I would care to, so we'll just use this.

She says, "...this searing drama stars Richard Burton as George, a passive middle-aged associate professor at a small New England college, long married to the hard-drinking, foul-mouthed Martha, played by Elizabeth Taylor, the malcontent daughter of the college president." After a late-night campus party, Martha informs George that she has invited another faculty couple to their home for a nightcap, the new young biology professor Nick and his mousy wife Honey.

Over the course of one alcohol-soaked night, yeah, they're probably drunk for 90% of this movie, George and Martha engage in an endless vitriolic verbal boxing match to expose every weakness and psychological wound in front of their horrified but powerless guests.

Nick and Honey are slowly drawn into George and Martha's mind games and masochistic ritual of abuse.

As all traces of civility are stripped away, the two couples are confronted with some uncomfortable revelations about themselves and a shattering of long-held illusions.

So it's a good fun time.

She's his wife.

The essence of Ivy League charm to students and friends who don't know them well.

... it's one of my favorite comedies ever made.

Flirting With Disaster starring Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette, Tea Leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, George Segal, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin, Richard Jenkins, Josh Brolin.

Really great comedy about, uh, Ben Stiller finds out, like, Ben, Ben Stiller was adopted.

He's about to have his own kid.
