The President's Analyst (1967)

The young, strong James Coburn was at the absolute height of his own particular cool in The President's Analyst, a film that warrants second-breath mention behind The Graduate and even Dr. Strangelove as a monumental Sixties improvisational comedy.

"...Oh, Coburn. The cigar Indian with the shark teeth. The stud who could do the Duke or..."

Moby Dick

In Kirk Smith's stage adaptation of Moby Dick, language comes forth in great waves, in storms of words, soaking our brains with images of the sea, of a white whale, and of a mad captain's pursuit of it, and while the Vortex Repertory Company Summer Youth Theatre production may not always convey every nuance of every line, it does communicate the feel of a life at sea, danger and dread, and the roles played by Destiny and Death.
