I really have no excuse for this. I went looking for clips from a 1957 production of Oedipus Rex to confirm what the voice of Douglas Rain sounds like when he's not busy being HAL 9000. I could not find any actual clips of Mr. Rain when he's not being HAL 9000, alas, but I did find these:

Oedipus in Eight Minutes (as performed by vegetables) (no, not the Veggie Tales crew)

"And AFTER that, I KILLED THEM ALL! Araaaaarrraggghhhasahahahhharh! AAARHGHGHGHGHGH! AAAAAAAAAARHRHRAAAAA!! *pause* *collapse*"




.... yeah.

Check out "Oedipus the King" (which is in sections on YouTube) with Christopher Plummer. A fine piece of cractastic scene chewing, with Orson Welles as Tiresias (looking like a ship of the line under full sail in his toga) and Donald Sutherland as the Chorus Leader. Proof that you didn't have to actually do drugs during the 60s; they permeated the air of Hollywood and you absorbed them through your skin.
