Protecting our Purity Of Essence
Born March 26, 1916, today would be Sterling Hayden's 87th birthday.
The Godfather was the biggest movie he was in, with a modest supporting role as a corrupt police captain.
A better movie as far as being a showcase for Hayden was the 1956 The Killing, an early and underrated Kubrick crime thriller.
His immortality, of course, comes from his role as General Jack D Ripper, the base commander who went off his rocker in Dr Strangelove, unilaterally starting a nuclear war and setting off the end of civilization. This may be the funniest movie role of all time.
Ripper:
You know when fluoridation first began?
Mandrake:
No. No, I don't, Jack. No.
Ripper:
Nineteen hundred and forty six. Nineteen fortysix, Mandrake. How
does that coincide with your postwar commie conspiracy, huh? It's
incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced
into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the
individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your
hard core commie works.
Mandrake:
Jack... Jack, listen, tell me, ah... when did you first become,
well, develop this theory.
Ripper:
Well, I ah, I I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the
physical act of love.
Ripper:
Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed.
Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of
essence.
Ripper:
I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women... women
sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid
women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
