What maestrowork says; Grumpy Old Men! Talk about cranky characters.
Big Joe, played by Telly Savalas in Kelly's Heroes. v/s Clint Eastwood's character Kelly
Moriarty, played by Gavin MacLeod from the same movie. v/s Donald Sutherland's character Oddball
Glenn Close as Alicia Clark in The Paper. v/s Michael Keaton's character Henry Hackett
John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn in Rooster Cogburn. v/s Katherine Hepburn's character Eula.
The movie character Walter Burns, as played by first Adolphe Menjou, then Cary Grant, then Walter Matthau and in a later adaptation by Burt Reynolds, but then called Sullivan. The movie has been called "The Front Page". "His Girl Friday", "The Front Page" again, and last "Switching Channels". 'Walter Burns' is about as cranky anyone can get! v/s the whole world in general and the employees in particular.
