Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Ben Stiller. What a precocious kid. Just kiddin'. Pelham is a wonderful 1970s thriller. Thrills, chills, spills, and laughs too. I was kind of hoping that Martin Balsam would get away with it. I get a kick of the the finale, as if the sound of a sneeze would hold up in court. Hey, it's just a movie...

Re: Noir Alley

Dargo, I can't speak with any great knowledge about that blacklist era but do remember there were several actors who actually did commit suicide because they thought the accusations, whether true or not, would end their career in any entertainment medium be it stage, screen, or television. Charlie's...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

TCM has been showing All Mine To Give every Christmas for years. Beautiful, touching film.i always try to watch whenever it's shown.Watched again last night, that makes at least 5 times. Rex Thompson who plays Robbie, played Tyrone Power's son in The Eddy Duchin Story a year before All Mine To Give...

Re: Noir Alley

As wise dear old Nat tells Charlie: "Darling, please take the long view -- seven years of financial security" You almost have to agree with Hoff, repulsive and misogynistic as he is: "The woman should stay out of her husband's business when he is providing the bread and butter" W...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

laffite, I want your honest opinion of ALL MINE TO GIVE, good, bad or indifferent, lol. I have a lot more respect for Cameron Mitchell; watching this movie back-to-back with NO DOWN PAYMENT, it's easy to come to the conclusion that he just might have been an underrated actor. Don't be spooked by Pat...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Get out your handkerchiefs for ALL MINE TO GIVE this evening. I've said this before and I'll say it again -- Max Steiner's score will immediately make you break down and cry even before the credits roll. This is in keeping with the tribute to wonderful Glynis Johns who we recently lost. I only wish ...

Re: I Just Watched...

:D I saw it on the schedule and recorded it! (haven't watched it yet) Didn't know it was Monogram. LOL! So I know it'll be bad going in.... Yes, Monogram can certainly be counted on to deliver the tacky goods, be it The East Side Kids with Bela Lugosi, skulking gorillas, bare-bones haunted houses, ...

Holden, on behalf of Ron Moody and his knickers, I thank you. It's an honor, and certainly an honor being even thought of in the same league as our great Lorna!

Re: Noir Alley

Oh joy!! THE BIG KNIFE is coming on the 27th and 28th!! Wonder what Eddie has to say about this laugh fest noir. It's a treasure trove of campy good badness, including hilariously gauche "ironic" musical touches emphasizing the existential and metaphorical aspects of Charlie's compromised...

Re: I Just Watched...

:D Who else enjoyed the cheapjack Monogram WWII propaganda "thriller" I ESCAPED FROM THE GESTAPO? Dean Jagger (when he still had hair, but it was probably a rug) plays a forger unwittingly involved with a drab bunch of B-movie Nazi saboteurs in hard g "Los Angle-eez" headed by Jo...
