I was 16 when this show premiered. Never someone who was asked out on Saturday nights, I watched it obsessively. Oh, to be able to stream that first season again. #getsmart

I’m surprised Buck Henry was never asked to host or appear on @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social after 1980. It appeared when the cast left after season five Buck left with them. Who knows how Buck would have interacted with the cast after 1980. #SaturdayNightLive #NBC #SNL #comedy #WhatIf #BuckHenry

The 1967 film🎥 “The Graduate” directed by #MikeNichols from a screenplay by #CalderWillingham & #BuckHenry

Based on #CharlesWebb’s 1963 novel📖

🌟 #DustinHoffman #AnneBancroft #KatharineRoss

🎶Music by #PaulSimon

I suppose it shouldn’t be too much of a shock that the two major creative forces behind #TheGraduate, #BuckHenry and #MikeNichols, would be rapist defenders, seeing the way women are treated in that film (an inconvenience and a prize to be won, respectively).

Film still: Gena Rowlands as Gloria Swenson firing a gun in the street. John Adames as Phil Dawn observes the scene from behind.

Choose one film each from 50 great directors. Name the film and director, along with a still.
34/50
Film: Gloria (1980)

HAIR (1979) also a perennial all-time top 10 film for me, since days of having it bootlegged on Betamax. TAKING OFF (1971) the 1st film Milos Forman made in the US, but he screwed up the music rights so this #BuckHenry wonder has never been properly issued for home screening. Here, tho; #TinaTurner
