TAATPV, pretty entertaining and a cool title too. I also became confused about the plot details, though the overall idea was not too hard to follow. The guy out for revenge against the people who killed someone he was associated with, even though it was just other criminals. He was likely more in i...

As cinemainternational points out, the recent movie issues on TCM were very similar ( Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and Forty Guns ) - in both cases the correct introduction was shown, followed by a period of a dark screen, followed by a replacement movie and other shorts etc. to fill the allotted time...

Looking forward to Robert Taylor in QUO VADIS. I like him (and his Nebraska accent) in these kinds of roles, lol. They should have had SAMSON AND DELILAH on this Mediterrean ticket. Hedy Lamarr's best (i.e. most animated) performance of her entire wooden career. Mature had a bigger bust than Hedy d...

And Paul Newman's illustrious debut follows: The Silver Chalice! (or as I dub it, The Silver Phallus!) :D Oh, yes, the one that he took a big ad out in one of the trade papers to apologize for after it aired on TV after he became a big star. It's a more interesting film than Warners big Helen of Tr...

And Paul Newman's illustrious debut follows: The Silver Chalice! (or as I dub it, The Silver Phallus!) :D Another turkey. Poor Paul. I remember sometime in the 70s (I think) Paul took out an ad in one of the trade papers or the LA Times (cant remember now) when it was going to run on local tv, apol...

Yes. But even Joan's machinations and evil schemings are ho-hum if you can believe it.

LOL!

i swear I'll shut up about DEATH ON THE NILE but I have three final musings and an extremely esoteric observation to make, but SUE ME, I'm sharing them: 1. anyone else wonder if they threw LOUISE BORGET''S BODY to THE CROCODILES? 2. What if DR LUDWIG BESSNER was onto something and ARMADILLO URINE I...

[quote=Hibi post_id=200675 time=1716226502 user_id=849 The early 70s was not a good period for movies. As the 70s progressed it got better. [/b] See, i feel the exact opposite- as someone who has come late to viewing films of the 70s, the early 70s and especially 1971 have a lot of interesting and ...

Spielberg was introducing it over the wknd, than after a few minutes delay, Jewel Robbery started and was shown in its entirety (a previous selection in that series) WHAT is going on with TCM lately? This is the 2nd time in a couple wks this has happened. (something not on the schedule is shown). I...

LAND OF THE PHAROAHS -- I guess every great director is entitled to make at least one bad picture in their career. "Bring the snake in a strong basket" "The gods of Egypt have spoken!" I still love the ending though. So deliciously ironic. William Faulkner worked on the script! ...

The Rialto is now an Urban Outfitters, but the building is still there. The theater itself wasn't that large compared to other L.A. downtown theaters, but it was said to have the longest marquee on Broadway.

Zaslav's cutbacks are REALLLY starting to show!!

I'd have loved to see Spielberg's reaction if he happened to tune in!

I've never heard that NO song. Wonder who wrote it?
