Both are on the list.
Well, I just noticed that 12 & 13 didn't make the image paste in, so I'm guessing Chicago is in there somewhere.

I know Moulin Rouge was 25th, but I'm not seeing Chicago on the original post.

Re: I Just Watched...

I came across this article about David Manners. Very strange his star was removed. Has that ever happened before? I know some have been removed over the years at the Chinese, but they have limited space, while the Walk of Fame does not. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hollywood-star-removed-when-gay...

Re: Noir Alley

Even going back further to one of Hitchcock's silents, from 1926: The Lodger.

Who would've imagined Hitchcock to make a film about a Jack the Ripper-like character? :smiley_chinrub:

Re: Question about site function

When I log in, I always click the "Remember Me" box, which I thought meant I wouldn't need to sign in on every visit. I believe back when I used the site more, it stayed logged in. However, for the past month or two since I've been posting again, it asks me to log in every time I return. ...

Re: Opera

This is not opera, but operetta, from a turn of the 20th century Hungarian piece, based on an old Hungarian epic poem Janos vitez. It's an "I am" number. The character is introducing himself singing (repeatedly) "My name is, my name is, Kucorica, Kurcorica Janos." It reminds me a...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

That particular scene in FRENZY gave me nightmares. When Judy opens her hotel door in VERTIGO she has no reaction. Did she already spot him out of the corner of her eye while chatting with those co-workers? I must admit I do like MARNIE even though I cannot stand Sean Connery's performance. So obno...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Mandy Patinkin is hot as Avigdor in YENTL. BUT, evidently NOT hot enough for Babs' tastes, anyway. I say this because when she was recently interviewed by Stephen Colbert about her newly published autobiography (when they taped it at her Malibu mansion and shown later on his program), she mentioned...

Re: A Glimpse of Golden Age Hollywood

T C M's screening of " THE FIRST AUTO " last night reminded me of the Riverside International Raceway as Charles Emmett Mack is said to have been killed in an automobile accident enroute to a Riverside racetrack during filming of the 1927 movie. I wondered if there was going to be expound...

Re: I Just Watched...

Back to Perry Mason. Bette was on last night pinch hitting for Perry defending Michael Parks. (Does anyone know what his operation was about when he was out of the show for awhile? It's not a very good episode (I'd seen it before). It must've been shot around the time of Dead Ringer as she's wearin...

Re: Noir Alley

The plastic surgery segment in DARK PASSAGE always creeps me out, including a scary looking Bogie with those bandages. It almost seems like a nod back from Warner's to their 1930's urban horror thrillers, DR. X, MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM and THE RETURN OF DR. X. Scary looking Bogie? How about scary...
