Well, "they" say a drunk can't play a drunk scene. So, using this logic, Huckabee shouldn't be able to portray Elmer convincingly.
But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!".
Marjoe Gortner.
Wow, is Marjoe Gortner still around? I haven't heard anything about him in years.
Sadly, I agree he'd be perfect for the part.
"Wow, is Marjoe Gortner still around? I haven't heard anything about him in years."
He's still around, but hasn't made a movie in over ten years.
"Sadly, I agree he'd be perfect for the part."
I'm not a big fan of his either, but I thought with his background, he'd be the obvious choice. <G>

Love the sarcasm in that reply! Hope I'm correct in seeing it as such! What a no talent money maker for the studios he is. A pretty face doesn't get past those of use who appreciate Cagney, Lancaster and the likes of the profession.

I rarely join discussions about politics or remakes, but I couldn't help but think of Sarah Palin as I watched this. Who says Elmer has to be a male?
shareI read in L.A. Times Richard Rossi is cast in remake, (he played the role to rave reviews on Broadway, and in the film "Sister Aimee: The Aimee Semple McPherson Story"). Shirley Jones rumored to do a cameo. Several A-list actresses are under considration for Sister Sharon.
