To Leah: I’d say that “Saboteur” is Cummings’ second best film…and we are getting desperate trying to name the third place winner.

Of course, “Saboteur” is getting a revived interest because of that endearing nonagenarian Norman Lloyd. (And I would love to know his real name; I’m sure that it has no degrees of bacon in it.)

Just to quibble — Cummings was in Hitchcock’s Saboteur, which, while not A.H.’s best, I think is better than King’s Row. Cummings was also in an enjoyable film called Princess O’Rourke, which while not that good a movie still has its pleasures (and also has Coburn and Mrs. then Reagan in it, not to mention Olivia De Havilland and Jack Carson, both of whom are very good in it).

Here are some degrees from Kevin Bacon, although I bet someone good could get it closer: Bacon was in Animal House with Tim Matheson, who was in the first Yours, Mine, and Ours with Henry Fonda, who was in The Lady Eve with Coburn.

Not just any small town, King’s Row. It’s factual equivalent was Fulton, Missouri, Henry Bellaman’s hometown and also the home of my first alma mater, Westminster College.

Now all I need is a Kevin Bacon tie-in and it’s a triple word score!
