Re: Ernst Lubitsch and his films
I didn't know there was another thread about Lubitsch. I will read the thread you mentioned. Out of early Lubitsch films, I like Trouble in Paradise a lot. I think That Uncertain Feeling (1941) is highly underrated. What do you think about it? Heaven can Wait (1943) is an enjoyable film too. Lubitsc...

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
MissG, Thanks a lot for posting the link to The White Shadow. I will watch it soon. Its sad that the other half of the film is lost. I hope someone will find it someday. I thought I should add more information about the differences between the novel "Rebecca" and Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940)...

Re: Filmmaker Henry Koster
When Henry Koster married Actress Peggy Moran in 1941 he promised her he would put her in every movie he made from then on. He did, but it was her statue. Usually it is a sculptured head on a mantelpiece or a piano or desk. In Harvey (1950), we see the sculptured head of Peggy Moran. The sculptured ...

Re: Filmmaker Henry Koster
Henry Koster was born in Germany in 1905. Since he was a jew, he was becoming an enemy in the eyes of Nazis. He was forced to flee Germany after Adolf Hitler came to power when he knocked out a Nazi SA officer who insulted him in a bank. The manager of the bank, a friend of Koster's, saw the inciden...

Petition online for preserving a Hitchcock film
For a long time, Hitchcock admirers (Including myself) have been requesting Disney to restore Hitchcock's The Paradine Case and requesting Universal to restore Gromek's Brother scenes and release Bernard Herrmann's recorded cues for Torn Curtain. But they have no interest at all. It is absolutely te...

Re: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger films
Oh I see. Thanks for the information, Jack Favell. I must say kingrat gave a great informative answer to your question. With me, I like Clive Candy (Livesey) because he valued his friendship with Theo and respected Theo (Anton Walbrook) as a soldier. Thanks to Clive Candy, Theo can live peacefully i...

Re: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger films
Unfortunately, I don't remember "there will always be an England." Do you know where this line is mentioned in Colonel Blimp?

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Unfortunately, No. Hitchcock did tell his writers to add their own personal touches into the film. So Samuel Taylor must have wrote this line in Vertigo and then reused part of this line again for the episode of Ronald Reagan's General Electric Theater episode. It is just like Hitchcock taking the l...

Re: ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Some DVDs runs upto 98 minutes. But the original running time of Jamaica Inn runs for 108 minutes.This is how it was ...

Re: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger films
I also consider "I know Where I'm Going (1945)" as the best work of Powell and Pressburger. But I like Colonel Blimp as the second best along with Black Narcissus. Clive Candy was a man who stayed the same throughout his life with his beliefs, his romance, his friendship, and all the moral...

Re: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger films
Upto now, I don't think I have talked much about The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943). What do you all think about this film?
