Redford was in both these films but let’s focus on a character actor who shared the screen with him.
Herb Edelman is the telephone man in this 1967 comedy, also starring Jane Fonda. His small scenes would steal the show if it weren’t for the scene-stealing done by Mildred Natwick and Charles Boyer.
In the 1973 romantic drama with Barbra Streisand, Edelman plays her woman-chasing boss. It’s a small role but he fleshes it out with flare and character.
Edelman plays opposite Walter Matthau and Elaine May in another Neil Simon comedy. Jane Fonda is in this one as well
He’s a cop at Oscar’s regularly scheduled poker night in the 1968 Neil Simon buddy comedy film which became a TV hit for Jack Klugman and Tony Randall.
Edelman is reunited with Jack Lemmon in a comedy-drama from 1972 that sprang from the works of James Thurber.
He again joins Matthau and Lemmon in a 1974 Billy Wilder story of life in the newsroom.
