Oh, yeah! Definitely Burl Ives. He got a well deserved Oscar for his role in "The Big Country" and followed it with a bravura performance as Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Fantastic actor!

Barbra Streisand. Pretty good in several things. Loved her in "What's Up, Doc?" The whole movie was a riot, and she was hilarious!

"We're gonna make it! We're gonna make it!" Volkswagen beetle hurtles off the end of the dock. When it becomes obvious, as it arcs through the air, that it's going to fall about thirty feet short of the departing ferry:   "We're not gonna make it. . . ."   Or one of the funniest, best timed lines in the whole movie:   "Hi, daddy. . . ."   And if you had seen "Love Story," the final two lines in the movie, between Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, would crack you up entirely. Sort of an "in-joke."
