Mike
Mazurki
At the entrance Mazurki is hob-nobbing
with a couple of couples gotten up in turquoise and rhinestone. They
stumbled across his restaurant and recognized him from a long-ago wrestling match in Cincinnati with Gorgeous George. Last night in their hotel
room he rematerialized in a flick he would just as soon forget. Along
with several classics, Mazurki
has made as many bombs. His discretion took a worse beating from his
booking agent than his nose took when John Wayne missed his mark and
punched him through his hat. "Jeez. I know I whipped Paulette Goddard, but
I don't remember ever strangling a woman.
I don't think so. When was it
made?" "51." "Who's in it?" "Beaver Cleaver's dad." "Oh yeah, Hugh Beaumont." "In San Francisco,"
adds one of the women. "You were a wrestler. 'Broad as a door with a chest
like a doormat .'" "Say, that's Moose Malloy. They musta stole
it."
