Sydney Lumet, RIP

Quite the resume there, Mr. Lumet.  But can you handle typing or light filing or answering phones?  Wait a second. Your resume says that YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD. Huh.  Well.  Anyway, so what was George C. Scott really like in real life? I bet he was a grumpy bastard just like his film characters, you know, crusty but just loveable enough that you'd want to hang with him? Huh? Huh?
