There’s a rare treat in the offing for Dublin’s crime flick fans at the IFI this coming Saturday (October 6): not only is there a big-screen showing of the superb LA Confidential, but Captain Dudley Smith, aka James Cromwell (right), will be in attendance for a Q&A with the Irish Times’ film critic, Donald ‘Don the Mon’ Clarke. Actually, truth be told, we’re only uploading this piece as an excuse to show you Don’s short movie, Pitch ‘n’ Putt With Joyce ‘n’ Beckett, which he wrote and directed and is without doubt the funniest film ever to come out of Ireland. Fact. Wednesday, October 3, 2007

I remember Mr Cromwell from his first TV show; "Hot l Baltimore" in the early 70's. Great off-the-wall show.
That film is pure genius. GEEEEENIUS.
Nice to see Mr. Cromwell alive and well. His was only one more fine performance in a film in which every performance was fine, with the possible exception of the one that won an Oscar.
And that short is pretty good even with the sound off.
