First viewed : 23 July 1985
I can only remember watching this once and I can pin it down to the same evening as the OMD concert which makes sense.
Film Buff of the Year was a cross between Mastermind and Screen Test chaired by the dry-as-a-bone Robin Ray. There were specialist rounds but they were assigned in advance not chosen ; my personal nightmare would have been Jerry Lewis. The episode I watched had a guy answering questions about Clint Eastwood. I remember one of the questions was name a film in which Clint Eastwood dies . The Beguiled must have been one but I'm a bit stumped for the others. High Plains Drifter would be a tricky one to call.
The series ran from 1982 to 1986.
Clint does seem to have a very high "survival rate" in his films. He gets bounced off in one his more recent roles but in his roles prior to 1984, he seems to make the credits intact in the vast majority: I guess "Escape from Alcatraz" is somewhat ambiguous.
