50 years ago today, this photo of the Chicago press conference for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was taken.
In the background you can see Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert — in the clothes they wore in the Siskel & Ebert pilot, which was also shot that same day.

Here is a cool artifact from my Opposable Thumbs research: The schedule for the 1st Siskel & Ebert pilot — or, as it was originally known, “Opening Friday” (soon changed to “Opening Soon at a Theater Near You”).

Watched Addams Family Values with my daughters tonight. When baby David Krumholtz showed up as one of the kids at Wednesday and Pugsley’s summer camp, my oldest turned to me and goes “Dad! Look! It’s you when you were a kid!”
