1. "The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle."

One of the best comedic routines ever.

The Court Jester.

[Graybeard]

2. I had the immense pleasure of meeting Rathbone.

We were introduced at a party in NYC in the late 1950s. He was immaculately dressed and elegant. He could not have been more gracious and open with everyone he spoke to. A lovely man.

He is obviously having a lot of fun in 'The Court Jester' sending up the type of role that he played so often. I love this film. Wonderful cast.

3. Thank you for the personal glimpse.

It's good to hear he was such a gentleman.

And Six Degrees of Separation strike again!
