Great pics! I love the hat and the last one. Thanks

Fucking well bump again. Just bought myself, for barely anything, a nice old black and white of Matthau in 'Slaughter On Tenth Avenue'.

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
Matthau is at his sartorial best in the comedy, "A New Leaf," in which he plays a ne'er-do-well intent on squandering his wife's wealth on bespoke English clothes and country estates. Not that that makes him a bad person.

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
People tend to forget that, pre-Billy Wilder, he was cast in straight roles. Just received an old black and white still of him in 'Slaughter On Tenth Avenue': wearing a pin collar and tie with neat little polka dots.

He gave an excellent performance as the sheriff opposite Kirk Douglas in 'Lonely Are The Brave'

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
I honestly think that it is one of my favourite films, Kirk Douglas was superb in it. Great supporting cast too, as well as WM there's Geena Rowlands, George Kennedy and Carol O'Connor.

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
I'm keen on seeing Kirk Douglas in 'Ace In The Hole'. I saw it about 40 years ago, when I was just starting grammar school (and joining the well-meaning but amateurish Film Society). Not sure whether or not it's been made available on DVD in this country.

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
Bumping this as a timely antidote to all the slightly sterile images I've been seeing of young guys looking just a little too sharp for my liking. Thinking back to 'Take Ivy', a lot of those chaps (not quite so many girls) looked as though they'd thrown on their clothing just in time for a nine o'clock lecture. On the Jewish side of town, old Walt was slobbing it in style. Sharp is not 'well-put-together'. Sharp is exactly that - and it's somehow wrong for Ivy styling. Or maybe it's just the angle of the lens...
Whatever happened, in fact, to softenin' and crumplin'?

Re: Walter Matthau: Ivy Icon
Jack, as was said at the time, did get most of the attention.
