Then, making things stranger, “Warren Beatty” appears, and Beatty and Tracy get into a “rambling debate about themovie and moviemaking in general.” Singer adds that “It‘s worth noting that through all of this, Mankiewicz and Maltin barely say a word. After facilitating this call, they are less participants in it than bewildered observers.”compared the special to something you’d more likely see on Adult Swim than TCM.
Either way it is amusing that film scholars Mankiewicz and Maltin are eager to aid a living legend in his curious quest, and that TCM is ready to devote a half hour of air time to a baffling little experiment.
