I have strong memories to this day of OBSESSING OVER THE COVER OF THE ...

sorry, this might not be one of my better reviews. i got really sick tuesday night and whilst laid up the next day, I came across RED BEARD (1965) on youtube. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjE4NTE5MDk0NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNTY2NzMyMTE@._V1_.jpg it was the 16th and final collab of AKIRA KURAS...

Beyond Tomorrow (1940) This lovely Christmas fantasy is about three captains of industry, living under the same roof, along with their indispensable housekeeper, who befriend a young couple through interesting means: by tossing their wallets out the window to see if anyone is honest enough to retur...

ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY that I would HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN A FLY ON THE WALL when the studio first screened THE HIDDEN HAND for the panel or whoever it was that certified films to be approved by THE MPAA The lights in the screening room go up and a chorus of voices call out in unison "WHAT THE H...

Children out of wedlock had been brought up in some films even after the code came in (A Woman Rebels in 1936, for example), but you are unto something that plagued the code, and quite frankly the MPAA rating system of the post-code era to this day: an over-acceptance of graphic violence. they were...

I will say something off-color, but true:

If you took a date to see THE HIDDEN HAND instead of THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS back in 1942, your chances of gettin laid after the show were 1000% better.

RE: MARY being the LONG LOST ILLEGITAMATE DAUGHTER of LORINDA in THE HIDDEN HAND (1942) Yeah, I thought so too, but I guess THE HAYES CODE- which was fine with multiple trap door murders and a homicidal maniac and two ethic stereotypes and a rather glib portrayal of mental illness- DREW THE LINE AT...

IN RE: THE HIDDEN HAND (1942) Well that was a hoot! I think in terms of production it's a bit higher class than some similar movies, since it's WB and with pros like Milo Anderson and Perc Westmore on the production team. Milton Parsons was made for his role! One of my favorite scenes was when Mr. ...

YES INDEED, THE HIDDEN HAND IS ON YOUTUBE IN FULL. I hope I have not "oversold" it, I LOST THE PLOT COMPLETELY 45 minutes in. ALSO, there is a RACIST STEREOTYPE and a lot of SURPRISINGLY HARSH violence against women. Quite a few female members of the cast are strangled. nonetheless, it's ...

You know, I have a feeling I would catch hands from anyone actually living in 1942 for saying this, but OH WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!! I say this because I tripped quite by accident over an absolutely delightful little OLD DARK HOUSE MURDER MYSTERY THRILLER/UNINTENTIONAL LAUGH RIOT from WARNER BROS. c...

PART TWO REVIEW HARA KIRI (1962): and this is THE SAME DAMN ACTOR IN THE SAME DAMN YEAR!!!!!!!!!: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.nDypdINTKsi0uCskHSo_1QHaDF?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain IN A ROLE IN WHICH he absolutely BREAKS YOUR HEART with the DEPTHS OF HIS GRIEF AND SADNESS , it is a ri...

PART ONE OF TWO: my fascination with 1960s JAPANESE CINEMA , specifically SAMURAI EPICS SET DURING THE 16TH CENTURY (a time of GREAT CHAOS AND UNREST IT WOULD SEEM) continues unabated. there are varying reasons why STORIES SET DURING THIS VOLATILE TIME PERIOD pique me interest- among them are the f...

Following Masha's lead, I took a look myself at Cecil B. Demented (2000), it feels very questionable for Patty Hearst to appear in a movie that feels like a cinema-based dark comedy delirium of her real life ordeal. Still, I am glad I saw it, because I did laugh sometimes and that is much needed ri...

I EDITED SELECTIONS OF YOUR POST AND MY REPLIES ARE IN RED- LHF I admit to thinking very highly of Paris, Texas when I first saw it probably 8 years ago LHF- You wanna know THE MYSTERIOUS AND ENIGMATIC UNSEEN CHARACTER of PARIS, TEXAS that I personally would have LOVED TO HAVE SEEN INCLUDED for eve...
