There he is again
Looking at me from across the street
There he is again
And he’s making my heart skip another beat
Now he’s moving in (Watch out, baby)
And he’s self-assured like he was before
And I know he thinks I want him more and more
And I know he thinks I want him more and more
So to myself
I say look the other way when he come by you
Look the other way when he come by you
Look the other way when he come by you
Don’t let him follow you
Ohhhh, oh, oh There, there he is again (There he is again)
And he’s leading me on with another look
I said there he is again (There he is again)
And he is reading my mind like it’s an open book
Now he’s moving in (No, no, baby)
And he’s getting so close and I held his touch
And I know he thinks I want his love so much
And I know he thinks I want his love so much
Oh hey, hey
So to myself
I say look the other way when he come by you
Look the other way when he come by you
Look the other way when he come by you
Don’t let him follow you
Ow! (Hey…) Oh (Hey)
There he is again
Now he’s moving in Oh, he’s self-assured like he was before
He’s got that mojo working, oh He’s getting so close and I held his touch
I know he thinks I want his love so much
Oh, he’s moving in Ohhh, oh, he’s moving in
William Marshall should have had a MUCH bigger career than he did. He should have played every Shakespearean hero (WHAT a Henry V, Macbeth and Coriolanus he'd have made, with his face, height and voice!), as well as the great Greek tragic figures like Oedipus, and the outsized modern dramatic heroes like Solness and James Tyrone. Since he had every possible asset that an actor can have, one has to conclude that it was nothing but our old friend Racism -- or, more precisely, the idiot view still -- STILL! -- held by some people in the arts that performers of color may be all very well for modern vernacular parts, but that they just Don't Look Right or Don't Sound Right in classical roles -- that kept him from his rightful place in American film and theater. (Just for the record, the best Helen of Troy in "The Trojan Women" that I ever saw was a black actress, just as it was black actors who did the best job I ever saw with Prospero in "The Tempest" and Antony in "Antony and Cleopatra".) If there are aliens watching us from another planet, they must think "We'd better steer clear of THIS world. If they have so little regard for their own people, what would they do to strangers like us?"
I saw this movie at the theater when I was 12 years old. I thought it was great. Of course, now it's just hysterical to watch, but I never miss it if I see it's playing on cable. This scene was one of my favorites.
