1973 : The Man Without a Country in which Robertson plays Philip Nolan. Please refer to iMDB for details.
Robertson was the victim of a boycott later in life, apparently in retaliation for going to the authorities after his signature was forged by a producer. I can't name the individuals involved, but it was headline news at the time and none of this is noted. 68.111.71.197 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC).
The main article has a section entitled "Career decline" and a section entitled "Columbia Pictures scandal," but without connecting the two. It's universally accepted that industry retribution against Robertson for reporting David Begelman's embezzlement was the cause for Robertson's career decline. Someone reading the Wikipedia article wouldn't know that. Embram ( talk) 14:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Robertson was born Clifford P. Robertson in Los Angeles on September 9, 1923. Here's the proof. Crisso ( talk) 17:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
I would of thought that the TV series "The Untouchables" would have rated a mention. 121.215.27.78 ( talk) 11:56, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
While "Birthdate" above is correct, birthplace is incorrect, and La Jolla, CA--not Los Angeles--is noted in three (3) sources, most recently in NYTimes obituary I have used in correction. Mwprods ( talk) 18:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
It's creepy and ironic at the same time. During the September 11 attack he was flying and seen the first attack and forced to land, that he should happen to pass away a day before the 10th anniversary of that attack and a day after his birthday. Chilly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.228.131 ( talk) 10:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
-- Outer Limits episodes and other TV ==
Much of Robertson's TV work is not mentioned. For example, he was in both the (1960s) Outer Limits pilot, entitied "The Galaxy Being," and in a 1990's OL episode. Nor does this mention the TV ep., "The Two Worlds of Charlie Gordon" which led to the theatrical movie, "Charlie," both based on the science fiction story, "Flowers for Algernon."

Did Cliff Robertson smoke cigarettes? He seems to smoke a lot of them in his movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 ( talk • contribs) 20:35, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
he supported democrat Udall for president - showed up at events (met him at one in 1976) and gave money. No mention of this. 107.77.198.116 ( talk) 21:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
