Yep good chemistry. They made several movies together. Enjoyed their later ones when they were both grandfathers.
I recall also that perms were all the rage for men at about that time or a few years later. I dreaded being seen by my mates while I was having the perm which took an age. I look back on old pics of me with a perm and dead set cringe.
Oh I just looked at your profile, you're the same age as me... so you would have been 11 or 12 when Skippy was on...
