Favorite sidekick

[Nick Charles]

Now that we are on Fav Gumheels how about there great side kicks.

I like EE Clive as Tennie in Bulldog Drummond He always has a gun or something usefull

Nora Charles

and Tommy/Jimmy Chan (depending on what movie)

 

[The Wolf]

"Goldie" Locke from the "Falcon" series is great.
Rocky Custer's wife, "Butch" (played by the lovely Virginia Grey) in "Grand Central Murder"
Doc Savage's aides and cousin.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some favorites but there's a start.

The Wolf

 

[MudInYerEye]

Buckwheat.

 

[Big Joe]

My favorite sidekick is Lady Killer Archie Goodwin (Nero Wolfe's pal).
Archie is played by Timothy Hutton.

Big Joe

I am with you, he is by far the best next to Dr. Watson (wrong era).

I don't follow. I heard he is doing theater. How about from James Bond to no one

"Miles Archer" didn't last very long as a side-kick. He was well dressed though and seemed pretty tough, for the 15 minutes of screen time.

Now I don't follow. I haven't heard anything about Timothy Hutton in ages, then his name pops up here on the board because he is apparently working as a sidekick on a tv show I've never seen, but he used to be a movie star... why is that difficult to understand? If you heard he was doing theatre, then hurray for you... I didn't.

And when did he play James Bond... and what has James Bond got to do with anything? What are you talking about?


Who cares.

None of my girl detectives have side-kicks. They have friends, pets and extended families, but no side-kick. Most sidekicks I recall, those who were funny and sometimes innefficient, I viewed as PIAs, but some were cool.

Well, let's see, my favorite sidekick was Tonto, but the Lone Ranger was hardly a detective.

And Yukon King (a dog) was the sidekick of Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, again a law enforcement figure.

I liked the Avengers well enough, but Emma Peel and Steed were partners, so neither was a sidekick. Nor were they detectives, if I recall.

Can't think of a darned thing. Maybe something will come to me as I peruse the responses,

Oh, Timothy Hutton, he is a co-owner of a big resterant in NYC. Also, he is on stage in NYC, I think.

 

[jake_fink]

Ah, now I see.

Dalton... Hutton... indeed.

My bad, as they say in the internet automats.
