Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Sessue Hayakawa also plays foreign characters. The other night when TCM showed Daughter of the Dragon, Hayakawa played a Chinese detective.

Re: Noir Alley
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...

Re: Noir Alley
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 ...

Have Gun Will Travel
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...

Re: Top Ten Robert Ryan Films
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...

Re: Noir Alley
Use of "one of" and "contemporary" gives one a lot of wiggle room!cmovieviewer wrote: ↑May 10th, 2024, 7:49 pm To represent Eddie properly, his actual quote was that Follow Me Quietly is "one of the first contemporary serial killer movies made in Hollywood."
I'm sure he will say more this weekend.

Re: !
...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...

Re: I Just Watched...
I will put in a good word for Arty Tragg. I never got the impression that he loathed Perry and Paul. Naturally they were on opposite sides, but for the most part Tragg kept his cool. In some episodes he would come to Perry's office at the end and pass along something that had made Burger mad and al...

Re: I Just Watched...
Does anyone recall Ben's closing comments after Guys and Dolls. I saw the intro but only watched the first half of the film. In Ben's intro he appeared to imply Sinatra was fine with Brando getting the role and top billing in this musical even with his limited musical talent, but he would explain mo...

Re: I Just Watched...
To discuss something more interesting: Last night I watched the first half of The Iceman Cometh . This is from the American Film Theater project that filmed eight plays with various stars in them. Whatever complaints I could make about the play--such as that the Brit and the Boer are too Boer-ing--...
