We will be absent today for the baptism of a Great Nephew by our younger daughter.
Therefore, we leave the summation to our good friends George, Thelma and Marty.

Whether Pagliacci or Big Ralph, gotta love Larry Tucker! But he always seemed to play heavy guys. Clearly a victim of typecasting.

Okay, okay, Associate Justice Knitty. Here are your final instructions.

In the event that there is a tie, declare Michael Powell the winner due to clear voter fraud. In the event, Howard Hawks ekes out an apparent victory, declare Michael Powell the winner due to clear voter fraud. In the event, Michael Powell decimates his opponent and thereby demonstrates that all is right in the World, declare that VICTORY IS OURS and start the party. I'll join the party in progress.

Got it? Do it!

I really enjoy some of Howards films tremenously but I feel that way about all Powell's films. Now where are the two extra Powell votes :wink:

Congrats Justice Knitty; your efforts were Herculean in making this happen!
And I have to say that this has been Justice ChiO's most interesting poll
yet (and not at all because of the outcome). I was totally certain at the very
beginning that it would come down to a slugfest between Hitchcock and Ford,
never even imagining that either Powell or Hawks would be involved. A most
entertaining and revealing poll!

I agree, this one has really been fun. (Not sure if Judge ChiO will agree....) I too thought it would be either Hitch or Ford. What a surprise!
