No kidding, and I'm not even close to your age.

Regarding the late Mr. Graves . . . I can't watch any kind of gladiator movie without at least an initial chuckle.

It's a generational thing. Do you think of Peter Graves as Jim Newton from "Fury", Mr. Phelps from "MI" or Captain Oveur from "Airplane"?

He was very funny in Airplane and I grew up watching Mission Impossible....good actor.
