HAD SEEN HIM IN ASPHALT JUNGLE AND HE WAS GREAT BUT WONDERED WHERE HE CAME FROM. JUST SAW GUNGA. THIS MAN WAS A TERRIFIC ACTOR. I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE DISGUSTED WITH THE MCCARTHY WITCH TRIALS ALL THE TIME. TO THINK WE'RE ONLY ABOUT 50 OR SO YEARS REMOVED FROM THOSE DAYS. PEOPLE WILL THINK OF US SOME DAY AS BEING SO BACKWARD AND PRIMITIVE EVEN AS WE ARE NOW.

Mr. Jaffe was NOT wearing "a diaper" in this movie. YOU need to grow UP and get a life.

Jaffe was terrific in The Scarlett Empress, one of Dietrich's early films. He was an uber creepy Russian royal who was too childish to reproduce with the princess, played by Marlene Dietrich.

I know Jaffe best as the eccentric old professor in The Day the Earth Stood Still, but I've also seen him in The Asphalt Jungle, Lost Horizon, Gentleman's Agreement, "Columbo": Forgotten Lady and other things. Now I've finally seen what is probably his best-known role.

Funny--nobody mentioned his role as Dr. Zorba on the TV series BEN CASEY.
His was the only character I liked from that convoluted program (I admit, I'm prejudiced; I was in love with DR. KILDARE. But I was only an early adolescent at the time, LOL.).
People will think of us as backward and primitive because we had not invented a way to type lower-case letters yet.
