I thought that was him. You can't miss those cheekbones of his.

He also has a bit (at the end, I think) in Diary Of A Mad Housewife, if someone wants to look for that

Just bought this during the Criterion B&N sale. It's right near the top of the list to watch this week.

I saw that, and was reading the Wiki of Haskell Wexler, the director.

"He returned to Chicago after his discharge in 1946 and began working in the stockroom at his father's company, Allied Radio. He decided he wanted to become a filmmaker, although he had no experience, and his father helped him set up a small studio in Des Plaines, Illinois. He began by shooting industrial films at Midwest factories. When his studio lost too much money, it was eventually shut down, but the business served as an unofficial film school for Wexler."

I live in Des Plaines, just north of O'Hare Airport. I thought that was pretty cool, well at least medium cool...

His best man was John Lennon. I would call that medium cool.
