A Thousand Clowns

Last Sunday night, while going through the TV channels I happened to catch A Thousand Clowns, which was on the PBS station in Boston & I watched the last hour of it. The main character Murray, which was played by Jason Robards, did remind me a lot like Shep, especially in his use of "hurling invictives" & playing "Yes Sir, That's My Baby". As I was watching it, I was thinking if Herb Gardner expected to keep his friendship w/Shep after writing a character like Murray & what his motivation was in doing so in the first place. I wish I got to see the beginning of the movie, or better yet, actually get it on DVD, which hasn't happened yet [:(]. 0
