[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 308726, member: 57"] No Down Payment (1957) I've been meaning to watch this for some time. It's David Jacob's "other" inspiration for [I]Knots Landing[/I] and it really is very like [I]Knots[/I]'s first season - much more so than [I]Scenes From a Marriage[/I]. It's like all the various character traits have been thrown up in the air and fallen into different combinations. It's also interesting to see actors like Pat Hingle and Cameron Mitchell in their prime - previously I'd only ever seen them older in supporting roles. For instance, a heavier Hingle as Commissioner Gordon in 1989's [I]Batman[/I]. I had no idea that he'd ever been a leading man. Tony Randall also does well in a dramatic role - the Richard Avery of the piece, if you will - rather different from the light comedies for which he's now best remembered. [/QUOTE]
