I always liked veteran character actor Arthur
O'Connell (Picnic/Bus Stop/7 Faces of Dr. Lao) since
it seems he has appeared in more of my favorite movies
than anybody else. But maybe why I find him so
endearing is that all this time (I just figured it out
recently) in the back of my mind he must be reminding
me of a true American favorite, venerable newsman
Walter Cronkite. I knew good old Arthur had a familiar
face but I just couldn't place it!
