Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
My favorite line in the original THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, from Ben Stiller: "We had a bomb scare in the Bronx yesterday but it turned out to be a cantelope" PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE tomorrow! (Wednesday) Good line alright here Bronxie, but, and while I hate to be a stickler here...

Re: Noir Alley
What did Marion expect Charlie to do in New York? Shakespeare in the Park? Keep his ideals intact while the family goes on relief? Actually here Bronxie, you've touched upon the very reason why I thought Charlie doin' himself in at the end of this thing was a farfetched proposition. And this being ...

Re: Noir Alley
I agree that Palance's suicide was totally unbelievable and didn't fit the story at all. Yep, as I especially can't imagine John Garfield in the original Broadway play doing the deed, either. I've always felt that Odets' great hatred of Hollywood overrode his desire to write a more believable finis...

Re: Noir Alley
And starring MISS SHELLEY WINTERS as Dixie Evans! Who came up with THAT billing? I was so unimpressed with the film, I forgot to check this thread! PU!!! It was static and as hammy as I (vaguely) remembered it! Hard to say who was the hammiest, Steiger or Palance. (At least Steiger wasn't in the wh...

Re: Noir Alley
And exactly the reason I've been saying for years now that I hope Eddie will eventually get around to featuring some Neo-Noir films as well. (...I'd love to hear what he could tell us about movies such as 'Chinatown' and 'L.A. Confidential', or lesser known ones such as 'Red Rock West' and 'The Las...

For some reason the eerie face-like shape on the tree up there reminded me of the following close-up of the wallpaper during an especially spooky scene that director Robert Wise put in his 1963 film 'The Haunting'... https://external-preview.redd.it/IPD03asaRrzVaXziPOdlXQBvyF30c8CMyAnxBYyXbsM.jpg?fo...
