The Trivia Hound

958. London, June 1967

WindWhisperer got #957!

Let's stay in London a bit longer. We first saw this man as a boy in #759, way back in 1955. At the time he was part of a forgotten film. Now he's on a meteoric rise to the top. Er, maybe just to the middle. He still can't believe he wasn't invited to the Monterey Pop Festival.

Hi John, okay wild guess here: Is that Donovan?

It's Michael McKean in This is Spinal Tap.

Or maybe A Mighty Wind?

Jim, you were right the first time. This is Spinal Tap, a film that, in retrospect, plays like a VH-1 retrospective. McKean is the great David St. Hubbins.

Best skit: "This one goes up to 11!"

WindWhisperer: Not all my posts will be necessarily contemporaneous with the date. Newer films set in 1967 are equally fair game (as the next few films will illustrate).

Right, John. I really knew better. A Mighty Wind is about American folkies, not an Englishman like David St. Hubbins.
