Let's Get Harry

[Delilah]

“Let’s Get Harry” is showing right now on the Movies! channel. I just happened to discover it while channel surfing. Unfortunately I missed the first half since I got home not long ago.

Have ya'll read this 1986 article, wherein Glenn claimed that Robert Duvall singled him out for some rough treatment during filming:

Method acting? Maybe that’s how Duvall gets into character.

Things don't really pick up until the second half anyway... although I do love the scenes where they're meeting Shrike for the first time - "Habla Espanol?" and where he's convincing Jack to join the team.

I went back a little ways on this thread, and I noticed that this isn't the first time it's been reported that Movies! has played Let's Get Harry. So I went to their website and found that they are also playing it on July 18 (Wed) at 1am and July 27 (Fri) at 4pm.

They also have a "Where to Watch" tab. if I lived in Cincinnati, I could get it through my antenna. But nothing in the Dayton area. Darn!

Method acting? Maybe that’s how Duvall gets into character.

Maybe, but still, stuff like this:

"According to Frey, Duvall would often shatter the silence on the set in Mexico by shouting, without warning, “‘What am I doin’ in a movie with a rock star!?!’” Frey couldn’t tell for certain whether Duvall was joking.

But the animosity, real or affected, brought a certain vigor to the scene where Duvall punishes Frey for opening a door without first determining who’s on the other side.

“Yeah,” Frey said with a grin, “we had a real good time doing that one. That particular day, Duvall wouldn’t talk to me. In between takes, he wasn’t around — he’d be standing outside in the hall, pacing back and forth. And then we’d do another take, and I’d open the door — and he’d slam me up against the wall. I think he wanted to do that anyway. It was always, ‘A (expletive deleted) rock star! I’d work with a million Gary Buseys before a rock star!’

“And then, when they filmed my reaction shot, he held this knife this far away from my throat, and yelled, ‘I could kill you right now, you . . . punk!’ And then he just let me go. They started rolling the camera — and I wasn’t acting. I was completely in shock.

“That was kind of interesting. But it wasn’t exactly fun.”

Method or not.... DANG. Poor Glenn!


Here's a low-quality vid of that moment.

I haven't seen LGH, so I'm writing this down so I can try to find and watch!

Thanks CA!

Happy 32nd Birthday to Let's Get Harry.

[sodascouts]

Underrated movie. I'd forgotten that it came out on Halloween!

[Pippinwhite]

It's also available to rent from Amazon for $3.99!

[sodascouts]

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - a belated happy anniversary wish to Let's Get Harry.

Glad to see Amazon has made it available for rental. IMO, Glenn holds his own against some established top-tier actors in this film.
