His dying words were "Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him."

Benjy Stone (Linn-Baker), who serves as the narrator of the story, tells of the summer he met his idol, Alan Swann (O'Toole). Benjy was working for NBC Studios in the mid 1950's as a writer for a variety televison show starring 'King' Kaiser (Bologna) (a not-so-subtle reference to shows like Sid Caesar's - Kaiser meaning 'Caesar' in other languages like Dutch and German, for example). As a special upcoming guest, they get the famous movie star Alan Swann (whose films seem to be cut from the same cloth as those of Errol Flynn's). However, whe ...

Police forces are government organisations charged with the responsibility of maintaining law and order. The word comes from the French, and less directly from the Greek politeia, referring to government or administration; the word police was coined in France in the 18th century. The police may also be known as a constabulary, after constables, who were an early manifestation of police officers. In most Western legal systems, the major role of the police is to discourage and investigate crimes, with particu ...

A pirate is one who robs, pillages, or plunders at sea, or sometimes the shore, without a commission from a recognized sovereign nation. While piracy in popular conception conjures up the romantic imagery of fictionalized tales of Caribbean pirates in the 17th century, piracy continues to be a threat in the world today. Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant problem (with estimated worldwide losses of $13 to $16 billion USD per year), particularly in the waters between the Pacific and Indian ocea ...

Most men with a normal or strong beard growth must tend it daily, by shaving the hair of the chin and cheeks, to prevent it from soon reverting to a full beard. This necessity has engendered the invention of quite a wide variety of accoutrements designed for the care of a gentleman's moustache, including moustache wax, moustache ...
