_Little Big Man_ is unsearchable, but I don’t recall it being used in this round.

**Linda Blair** is still in play.

Sorry – I think things are a little screwed up here.

Last good play – **The Exorcist**

Max von Sydow was bad, but **Ellen Burstyn** was good.

**Harry and Tonto** was good.

**Linda Blair, Chief Dan George, Jeff Corey, In Cold Blood** are all misplays off **The Exorcist** , which already had **Ellen Burstyn** in play.

Someone double-check me on this before I play off **Harry and Tonto** , please – or do so yourself, if I’m right.

Chief Dan George was good, he was in Harry and Tonto. The poster just misquoted the post they were responding to.

So we should be good with Chief Dan George → Little Big Man —\> Jeff Corey —\> In Cold Blood

I don’t see him on the cast list for this.

Of course, clearly I’m an idiot today, so the fact that I don’t see his name doesn’t mean it’s not there. [Link.](http://imdb.com/title/tt0059336/fullcredits)

You’re right … but you’ve shattered an illusion i’ve had since the 1960s. It is Richard Crenna in the movie. I’ve told all the people i’ve described this movie to that it was John Forsythe. I’m the idiot. Sorry.
