Correct. I was temporarily obsessed with William Powell after seeing him in a few movies virtually back-to-back (and hearing him in a radio play).
“I was partial to tragedy in my youth. That was before experience taught me that life was tragical enough without my having to write about it.”
Yepster
Is this Harvey?
I can reply with high confidence that it is not.
Nope, sorry.

If you have to be temporarily obsessed with someone, you could do a lot worse.
His voice is one you recognize immediately whether you can see him or not.
Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Thar’s my question mark, btw. I know there isn’t one in the actual movie title.
Correct.
I wouldn’t call William Powell “jerkish.” In HtMaM, he was quite swayve and deboner.
After listening to the radio version of My Man Godfrey, I was racking my brain to remember where I’d heard his voice saying (as I recalled the line) “There’s no substitute for good old-fashioned human companionship.” I finally remembered it was Powell talking to Lauren Bacall over dinner in HtMaM.
(Feel free to correct me if I’m misremembering.)
@CalMeacham, that’s definitely The Last Starfighter. I love that movie.
“Call no man happy who is not dead”
;~)
The consummate renaissance man, himself!
If that’s your answer, sorry, no. The movie I’m quoting was a big hit in the summer of 1981.
I think you’re on the right track, though.
Right. I figured that one would be pretty easy.
Clash of the Titans?
