Bad Day at Black Rock
Or
Hoo Rah. Hoo Rah. Rutgers Rah. Upstream. Downstream. Blue Fish. Dead Fish.
Millard Kaufman, creator of Rutgers University’s most famous alumnus, has died at the age of 90 from complications of open-heart surgery. Kaufman created the rich myopic and confused retiree Quincy Magoo in the cartoon short Ragtime Bear in 1949. He later scored two Oscar nominations for the screenplays for Take the High Ground!, starring Karl Malden and Richard Widmark as drill sergeants prepping recruits for Korean in 1953 and Bad Day at Black Rock, a film noir starring Spencer Tracy as a man trying to re-pay his son’s debt to a Japanese immigrant murdered by a small town mob, in 1955.
