Brutus: What are you watching?
Gladys: An old Robert Redford movie.
Brutus: Oh, when was it released?
Gladys: Last year.
Brutus: How can that make it an old Robert Redford movie?
Gladys: Just look at him - he's gotta be seventy!
Okay you Grammar wizzes (and I know you’re out there)- how should the sentence be punctuated to indicate the “old” is an adjective of Robert Redford, but not the movie?Perhaps hyphenated – “an old-Robert Redford movie”?
Judging by who ‘n what’s out there nowadays as “actors”, is the reason WHY I watch repeats of Redford, Brando, Pacino, and a lot of the beautiful women that have passed on; like Maureen O’Hara recently.
