Tonight HBO had a great special on about Don Rickles. He is an amazing entertainer. It's a shame that in today's world all the comedians and entertainers can't carry his jock strap. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rickles one night at Gibson's Steakhouse in Chicago. I sent a round of drinks to his table (it was expensed to Enterprise). He called me over to his table and thanked me and I told him that Kelly's Heroes was my favorite movie. I was expecting him to insult me, but he said thanks.
Kelly's Heroes plays a prominent role in the show. I believe that it is the best World War II movie out there. You can watch it a million times and it never gets old. Try to say that with Saving Private Ryan or even the great Guns From Navarone. Even Gregory Peck gets a little old.
