And I did not realize it, but just found out that that particular song was
the opening song for the sitcom Everybody loves Raymond from seasons seven
through nine.

Tony,

I am pretty sure Greg Douglas is referring to the song, Jungle Love, which
he co-wrote and recorded with the Steve Miller Band.

Look over his list of 200 films and TV shows here and tell me there weren't
a LOT of clunkers.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm661/

I DID say he was a superb actor and that the lesser movies were not worthy
of his talents.

Ron et al:

The negatives were stolen from Technicolor and ransomed.  The ransom was paid 
and the negatives were returned.  (I don't think it was the entire negatives, 
but a substantial amount of footage).

 RIP Donald Sutherland :(
 
 He was a superb Canadian actor from the 1960s to the present. While he 
 gave wonderful performances in a number of movies, his main criteria for 
 deciding to take a role seemed to be how much he was paid, because he 
 appeared in lots of movies not worthy of his talents.
 
 Some of his movies include: JFK, MASH (as Hawkeye Pierce), Ordinary 
 People, Dirty Dozen, Animal House, Don't Look Now, 1900, Cold Mountain, 
 Kelly's Heroes, and The Hunger Games series (as President Snow). 
 
 In 2015's "Forsaken", he played the father of his real life son, Kiefer 
 Sutherland, who is also a wonderful actor, and in many ways has followed 
 in his father's footsteps.

Re: [MOPO] RIP Donald Sutherland

[Tony Calvert]

I agree about anything for the money, sometimes it works out well and
sometimes actors do it at the end of their career and just just to get by
(Lon Chaney Jr, Bela Lugosi, Mickey Rooney come to mind).  Donald
Sutherland was the exception as well as Robert Mitchum (admittedly took a
role if the check would clear).

Greg, I am curious about the stupid hit song.  What is the title if you
don't mind me asking?

Re: [MOPO] RIP Donald Sutherland

[Greg Douglass]

Sad but not unexpected. 88 is a good run.

Interesting; I just watched "Die, Die my Darling!", a Hammer horror hag quickie that was part of the post-Baby Jane deluge of this short-lived genre. Sutherland played a mentally challenged young man. I was astonished to see the same actor playing a wisecraking doctor in "M*A*S*H*". After looking at his IMDB history it appears that he spent much time in the UK during his early career.

As a musician who has played on a lot of crappy tunes I agree that artists go where the money is. "Pay the rent or be untrue to my artistic ideals?" ( I'm best known for my guitar playing on a pretty stupid hit song. That dumb tune has bought me a crapload of movie posters.)

Sutherland was a first class actor who did indeed play in a lot of drek...but ya have to have a lot of time in the batter's box to hit some home runs. "Klute" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" are enough evidence of greatness for this armchair critic.

Someone else mentioned one of Sutherland’s best, the 1978 remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” but what about “Klute?” Every time I encounter it on TCM I can’t not watch.

 

But curious, Bruce, do you really think his main criteria for taking a role was just the cash? I’d call him a working actor—in it for the long haul. Sometimes you make a classic, sometimes you make a dud. But staying employed in the acting business long term can be difficult. Seems like an unnecessary dig that money was his driving force. Just my 2 cents.

RIP Donald Sutherland :(

He was a superb Canadian actor from the 1960s to the present. While he gave wonderful performances in a number of movies, his main criteria for deciding to take a role seemed to be how much he was paid, because he appeared in lots of movies not worthy of his talents.

Some of his movies include: JFK, MASH (as Hawkeye Pierce), Ordinary People, Dirty Dozen, Animal House, Don't Look Now, 1900, Cold Mountain, Kelly's Heroes, and The Hunger Games series (as President Snow).

In 2015's "Forsaken", he played the father of his real life son, Kiefer Sutherland, who is also a wonderful actor, and in many ways has followed in his father's footsteps.

Re: [MOPO] RIP Donald Sutherland

[Ron Magid]

Hey Kirby!It did! I agree it’s not Fellini’s best but I’ve seen it several times since (thanks to LA’s once thriving revival theater circuit) and it includes some of his greatest imagery  - and Sutherland is amazing given he apparently got zero direction from the maestro. (And the Nino Rota score is arguably his masterpiece.)I didn’t realize the negative was stolen- I wonder if that’s why the original English language version (far superior to the Italian if only to hear as well as see Sutherland’s portrayal) has become much harder to see (if anyone’s interested, there used to be an excellent print on YouTube.)Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 20, 2024, at 1:05 PM, Kirby McDaniel  wrote:Ron, and mopolistas,And did FELLINI CASANOVA turn you into a randy young thing?  I always thought that Fellini's choice of Sutherland for that role was very unusual to say the least.  Not my favorite Fellini movie to be sure, but the Nino Rota score was sublime.There are so many good Sutherland performances, it's hard to pick one.We were lucky to see CASANOVA theatrically.  I thought we might not see it at all when the negatives were stolen from Technicolor in Rome.Kirbymovieart.comOn Jun 20, 2024, at 2:20 PM, Ron Magid <00ad508bad52-dmarc-requ...@listserv.american.edu> wrote:A very sad day!Among my favorite actors of all time – I first became aware of Donald Sutherland when he starred in Fellini’s Casanova, which played in English for one week at the Avco Center theater in Westwood, and had a profound impact on my budding childhood sexuality (I think I was 13 at the time.Sutherland then followed up with what is in my opinion, the best remake of all time Phil Kaufman‘s invasion of the body snatchers, which manages to function as both a remake and a sequel!So many other great performances followed– got to see him live at the Mark Taper Forum some years back and he was of course superb even though the play was not.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 20, 2024, at 11:33 AM, Bruce Hershenson  wrote:RIP Donald Sutherland :(He was a superb Canadian actor from the 1960s to the present.
