It's about time that someone has recognized William Demerest! He was an awesome actor and could play any part well, especially comedic roles. A very under-rated, under-appreciated, and unsung actor. Thanks for giving him his due.
Loved William Demarest(& William Frawley), & loved the scene of the cook being thrown all over the galley of the land yacht. When they had the movie scenes in "Oh, Brother etc" I was immediately taken back to this. Sturges' mother was a friend of Isadora Duncan, & gave Duncan the long scarf that got caught in the drive of a car, & snapped her neck. Sturges wrote another of my faves, "Easy Living" which was recently released on DVD & starred Jean Arthur & Ray Milland
