Oh wait, I remember now. Some folks are sticklers for staying on topic. Jimi and Willy are not really sports figures, but I have a feeling the two wouldn’t mind a bit if they were made sport of. Well my L.A. Dodgers are playing good but their travel schedule is messed up. I.e. they play a few home ...

Well at least the cheating Houston Astros are out. If AZ beats Philly in game 7, that would be something. James Jazz Guitar. How you making out man? I was listening to some Jimi Hendrix the other day, and I thought about you. Let’s see, yeah the song was Hey Joe. He wrote that song, no? Hendrix did...

All in all, this is the best list from AFT I've ever seen. Sure, it's not mine, but it's not heavily weighted toward recent films, and it includes some essential films. I also was surprised that there were less than a handful of post-studio-era films on this list. While musical is my least favorite...

Sessue Hayakawa also plays foreign characters. The other night when TCM showed Daughter of the Dragon, Hayakawa played a Chinese detective.

The TCM daytime theme tomorrow (Thursday, May 16) is "Film Noir of the 1940s." Each of these films has been featured on Noir Alley in the past. Here is the schedule (times are ET): 05-16 07:15 AM Pitfall (1948) 84m 05-16 09:00 AM The Set-Up (1949) 72m 05-16 10:15 AM The Maltese Falcon (19...

Thanks. A lot of Argentine films. Eddie seems to like them. I don't remember No Questions Asked. I'll have to look it up. I just saw Bad For Each Other a few months back for the first time so I'll probably skip that one. Not too many reruns at least. Unsure if I've seen No Questions Asked. I rememb...

I wasn't that impressed with FOLLOW ME QUIETLY. Like I've said before they cannot all be DOUBLE IDEMNITY. It appears that after all these years Eddie is running out of noirs that he can show. I hate that because I love Noir Alley. However, as someone once said "all good things must come to an ...

I was just watching Have Gun Will Travel. The local farmers didn't welcome and were thus mean to foreigners, that were also farmers, who came from southern eastern Europe. Well, these local farmers wheat crops were dying due to disease. The two end up getting along, and the show ends with Paladin te...

Just watched Robert Ryan on Zane Grey, a TV western from the late 50s\early 60s. Ryan was solid as a rancher. His wife was played by Cloris Leachman. There was one minor character actor it took me a while to recognize: Don Castle. Looks like but this stage of his career he was a bit player (not that...

I'm sure he will say more this weekend.

Use of "one of" and "contemporary" gives one a lot of wiggle room!

Don't forget sex symbol Nancy Kulp!

Yea, the definitive sexy secretary.

...Didn't hear any complaints about CA after that!! This couple are very nice and fine people, but like so many, make clueless generalizations. Gee, I'm actually kind'a surprised that showing 'em the facts would shut 'em up here, James?!!!! I mean, surely they must've had OTHER reasons for their mo...

...There are some real nutcases out there in the heartland. OH yeah there are and always have been. Now, MY personal little "favorites" of these kind'a folks have always been those who after some natural catastrophe has befallen the state of California, they'll opine the idea that that's ...

I like Dark Passage even though there are some implausibilities in the movie. Nicely done with a good cast of supporting actors--the cabby who doesn't know where to go for a good time but does know where to go for quickie plastic surgery, the rundown doctor who apparently knows his business. I woul...
