Andy Warhol and Sonny Liston flack for Braniff

[krakenwave]

Sonny never ever went to school and endured hellish stereotyping but he was no fool and those who actually got close to him always spoke of his smarts, droll sense of humour and nice line in wit. I think he both understood and enjoyed being in with someone like Warhol (another successful person whom the media still denigrated and trashed) to do this sneaky little pisstake of cheesey celebrity-endorsement shill. And pocketed a decent fee.

I wonder who would win in an arm wrestling contest?

I am disturbed by the dubbing....I guess his voice was too “swishy” for them.

[TommyGun7111]

thanks or posting this! Damn. sonny could stare.

[allmightymouse]

this is SOooo damn funny to me! ; ) Liston giving the cold stare that made a lot of fighters sh*t their pants! ... except Muhammad Ali. thanks for posting this!

[radiusny]

@allmightymouse Thanks for the comment..I found this in some old film from a TV station warehouse and it is so bad, it's good.

[Richdanahuff]

@allmightymouse Ali shit his pants to the point of acting crazy from the fear. Read comments from those who were there with Ali. Liston was great at scaring the hell out of the small under 200 lb fighters of his time.

Sonny looked like he had a hit of Andy's acid, lol!!

[odavide88]

sonny è stato molto più forte di alì del cazzo

[RockDempsey]

I thought Sonny was going to bite his head off! LMAO!!

[OboxerU]

I wonder what the director was thinking.

"Alright, Andy, you read all the lines. Sonny....just stare in utter disbelief."

[DAH210774]

I think Andy would've been after the male Stewards Mr 70's narrator, c'mon!! lol

[radiusny]

That was before men were "allowed" to be "flight attendants" in the USA. That was a job for "wimmin'" or "gals" as tboorish business travelers called them. If you get a chance to see "Mad Men" , the series on AMC (US Cable), you will definitely get the sense of the times. But Andy had his own "flight attendants" at 860 Broadway in NYC!

[Clockmaker46]

Sonny looked like he was thinking how just a jab from that short distance could take Andy's head clean off.....

[ezekielwahwah]

@Clockmaker46

ahahah

[gianca60]

"They like our girls": Sonny maybe but surely not Andy..

[OboxerU]

Sonny was talking so much, Andy couldn't get a word in edge-wise.

[BooBooLane]

Sonny was not sure that Andy wouldn't punch him.

[radiusny]

It would be easier to find Regis Philbin doin that with any young actor about 26 years old..LOL

[Mdebacle]

We wish we could see a replay of Liston and Ed Sullivan comparing muscles.

[BooBooLane]

Sonny's wit was quicker than Clay's; he would have been a hell of a good actor.

Are they twins?
