"The last time I saw Candice Bergen in a movie, I thought she was a worse actress than Ali McGraw. But now I've changed my mind"--Pauline Kael's review of The Getaway in The New Yorker (Candice and Ali became good friends.)
Ali McGraw (bringing husband Steve McQueen home from prison): "What do you want for dinner?"
McQueen: "Drinks--whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, whiskey!"
--The Getaway
Dreamed of seeing a vernal equinox ritual with a big crowd in the middle of the night; an animated movie of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw Sam Peckinpah's movie of the great pulp fiction author Jim Thompson's The Getaway. Cartoonish but kinda fun in a cheesy '70s way. Steve McQueen was another cool actor.
