Watch Joseph L. Mankiewicz on The Dick Cavett Show Tonight on Decades

I am very interested in tonight’s game 5 of L.A./Wash, but I strongly suggest seeing another great Dick Cavett Show on Decades, airing from (8-9) Eastern Time.

Certainly watch or record it, if you miss it for the game, or any other reason. It also will be shown at 2 a.m. Friday morning.

The guest was Joseh L. Mankiewicz from the 1978 show.

His stories recalling his great career as a director and writer are fascinating.

Among the great performers discussed by Mr. Mankiewicz and Mr. Cavett, are W.C. fields, Marilyn Monroe and Bette Davis.

It was riveting television as Mr. Mankiewicz was not only brilliant, but also very candid.

Mr. Mankiewicz both wrote and directed the film “All About Eve” which was released on this date in 1950.
