ABC Stage 67: The Love Song of Barney Kempinski (1966)
Great intro to Alan Arkin
I saw the premiere show w/ Alan Arkin (first time I ever saw him act) while in High school - I have been a big fan of his ever since . . . this was hilarious and so inventive for TV at the time . . . my favorite scene: he steals a tour bus full of sight seers, unloads them at an apartment building, has them follow him to a door at the top of a stair well, has them begin to take deep breaths in unison, knocks on the door and then proceeds to carry off a conversation with the person who answers . . . you see it from this other person's perspective as several strangers are "breathing" behind him while he is having this conversation . . . he acts like there is no one else there much to the confusion of the person he is talking to and much to the confusion of the "breathing" participants as he never explains to anyone else what is going on . . . I laughed until I cried and it is one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen . . . classic!
