Hi Chris.
Not sure this has a Halloween connection. But these posts put me in mind of the scene in 'Pennies From Heaven' where Louis Armstrong sang 'When the skeleton in the closet started to dance'. good topic.

wages / prices

interesting topic. I started in a steel mill in 1941: Labor paid 73 c an hr; my job ( I worked on a hand mill ) paid 2cents more. They paid the job not the man. Each job paid so much and whoever did that job got paid that much; prior to that I worked in a service station , mostly pumping gas and cha...

Hi Bkln. I see we agree on several items here, Hey, you have good taste. Seriously, I was glad to see your post. I love discussions and hearing what others think, It's so very interesting. As for what's her name, I mean ugh ( how did she get into this conversation? ). I never thought of her as being...

Mr. A
I have to make this short, it's way past my bedtime. The illusion in 'Psycho' fooled me, I had to close my eyes.

jdb 1 Hello, again, Brooklyn. I see we agree on one thing, at least. SSO is a great forum, best I've come across. You're right about Hepburn, she was a great actress. Kindly notice, I haven't said anything about her accent. I'd like to post a few of what I consider the best performances I've ever se...

horror

Hi, Mr. Arkadin. I saw 'Psycho' when it first came out. Didn't care much for it, which makes me a pariah, i guess, I don't, especially, like gore. You're right about Perkins, he fit the part perfectly. I saw it only once so I probably missed a lot of nuances, I do like Hitchcock and would, heartily ...

JDB 1 Hi, Brooklyn. Great to hear from you. Difference of opinion is what makes horse racing, as the fella said, it, also, makes these discussions so interesting. I didn't see Harris' stage play, 'Member of the Wedding' I think her performance in the movie was one of a half dozen all time best. by a...

Hi, Moira, I loved 'The Haunting',( Whose hand was I holding? ) course I love Julie Harrie, too; did you see 'Member of the Wedding'? It's a 'Don't miss',.

Alice Faye

Hi Hollis, I don't recall that about Bunker but I do recall some of Fayes movie songs. probably, her best remembered is 'You'll Never Know'. A sentimental one from wartime. Faye had many 'hits' from her films and, at one time in the late 30s was, generally regarded as the best song plugger in the bu...

Alice Faye

Hi Traceky You're right, Alice Faye worked almost exclusively for Fox but I know of one exception. 'Ev'ry Night At Eight' Paramount 1935, I don't think it was precode but wouldn't bet the farm. She, Frances Langford and Patsy Kelly played a singing trio on radio, I believe it was Langford's movie de...
