No Way to Treat a Lady, the Murray Hamilton scenes

Another Murray Hamilton in a suit at a desk performance:

Age 44 during shooting in the summer of '67, MH plays Inspector Haines in homicide, which he always pronounces with a long O. [I can’t imagine Karl Malden shouting it into the phone that way every time he’d answer with “Homicide! Stone!” Even though Murray Hamilton appeared on “The Streets of San Francisco” as Stone’s former partner. That is an amazing hair episode!]

We first see him and his great hair sitting at a desk, smoking, being displeased with the situation.

Things you get to hear Murray Hamilton say:
“Then you didn’t state that he’s a sexual pervert?”  and “placate.”

In his second scene, he does his “little barrel” walk from the desk and reluctantly puts Segal back on the case. Almost looks like they're line dancing.

A few comments on the film “No Way to Treat a Lady”:

Rod Steiger is a joy to watch, no matter how awful his character is. 

Some viewers probably consider him a ham. My absolute favorite to watch is Jack Barrymore, so Rod Steiger is an absolute delight. Using a variety of disguises and accents, Steiger’s character goes around murdering women of a certain age. Horrible, absolutely horrible, but it's hard to hate this monster because it’s Rod Steiger, and he’s so much fun!

Top Steiger recommendation: As Joyboy, the embalmer, in “The Loved One.” 

Steiger later played the lead priest in “The Amityville Horror,” where he and Murray Hamilton have a scene together.

If you’re among those who first learned George Segal’s name as TV character “Jack Gallo” on “Just Shoot Me!” here’s a chance to see him in his early thirties. [He passed away fairly recently, March 23, 2021, just one day before what could have been Murray Hamilton’s 98^th birthday.]

Here Segal’s shoulder is just blocking my actual birthday on the calendar. You can see August 15th, but mine was the 17th.

“Miguelito Loveless” has a great scene in the film. Actor Michael Dunn comes in to confess to something he didn’t do.

David Doyle, “Mr. Bosley” to my generation, is among the cast.

 

A real “Hey, it’s that guy!” actor, Val Bisoglio, is just 41 in this film. He was born in 1926 and also passed just recently in October 2021 at 95. Oddly, this clearly Italian man is cast as an Irish cop.

Beautiful Lee Remick plays the female lead. Although she was in the same courtroom with Murray in “Anatomy of a Murder,” I’m not sure if that counts as having had a scene together.
 
The film also shows a lot of New York City in the summer of 1967.
