He did run the gamut! Is there another director who worked with Bette Davis and Elvis Presley? Another one I love is "The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" from 1960...with a fantastic supporting cast-Buster Keaton, Judy Canova, John Carradine,Josephine Hutchinson, Sterling Holloway, Harry D...

Klondike, that would be a great film title!
"Sins Of The Handroids"

Thanks, Sandy (via Lynn) and feaito, for the suggestions. I love James Kirkwood and Myrna Loy. Great avatar, feaito! Fabulous photo of Myrna. I just started a novel-"The Secret Life Of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. I love Southern Gothic. Anxious to read "Heyday" by Kurt Anderson. Anyo...

Bonjour, Rusty I think Jeunet's sense of style is influential. Style is just as important as subject matter, IMHO. He did get his start in TV commericals and animation-a coupla venues European filmmakers excel at, n'est-ce pas? Check out "Delicatessen" and "Alien: Resurrection." ...

I discovered our "couple's" bio... He is Dr. William "Bill" Williams-plastic surgeon. She is Barbara "Barb" Williams- wife, model, Garden Club president and gossip columnist for The Long Island Ledger. Barb lost her hand in a Macy's revolving door accident. Later that n...

I love the story of Curtiz asking a prop man for a "poodle" to appear in a scene in "Casablanca." The prop man searched for a poodle-while the entire crew waited. He found one and presented it to Curtiz, who screamed, "A poodle! A poodle of water!."

I don't think so. I wish he'd had more episodes! His episodes were the best ones. BTW, his middle name was Quixote. (I read that on IMDb.)

Looking forward to "Bound For Glory" this sunday on TCM-with the cinematography of Haskell Wexler. He won an Oscar for it. He also did "The Best Man," "In The Heat Of The Night," "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?"...

My family never missed "Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke." I don't have the Western channel, but TV Land has both those shows. I wish they had "The Big Valley" and "The Wild Wild West-"an exciting and strange sci fi/spy/western. It had a lot of great guest stars...Agnes...

Conrad Hall is one my favorites too. He also did "Cool Hand Luke," "Fat City," "The Day Of The Locust" and "American Beauty" (Oscar win.) A couple of my favorites are "In Cold Blood-"a memorable scene from that movie involves Robert Blake sitting in ...
