Re: Noir Alley
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 would...

I wouldn't trust either one of them, but a fictional character is harmless.HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑Yesterday, 2:30 pm
Yes, a less articulate Lonesome Rhodes with the physical presence of Jabba The Hut.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I've seen it a couple of times, though not recently. From what I remember the
Redgrave character makes Maxim de Winter seem totally normal. Replicas of
murder rooms. Red flag anyone. Get the hell out of there lady.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I hadn't seen Rebecca in a long time until it was on TCM a while back. It's a rather silly though fairly enjoyable as entertaining fluff. And suave George Sanders chowing down on a chicken leg. Both the leading men of Rebecca and Marnie are kind of jackasses. Larry goes to pieces at the least little...

Re: I Just Watched...
Coincidentally, Return to Mayberry the 1986 TV movie was on METV this afternoon. IIRC it was a big hit when first shown. Not much of a plot, but it was fun to see the characters as they are almost 20 years later. I remember Andy in a few TV movies where he was a real mean s.o.b. and he was quite con...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Ha!!! They overdid the New York "spunk" with that one transit guy (not Matthau) initially dealing with Robert Shaw's demands of $1,000,000 or passengers would be killed: "Dream on, maniac!" With lives on the line like this you'd think a bit more diplomacy would have been used. Y...

(Not that PERRY would've noticed) Speaking of, I can't help but take interest in the fact that over the course of the seasons, numerous PERRY MASON episodes feature bit parts for lean , boyish ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
lol, I thought it was weird that the actor playing the NYC mayor was an Ed Koch look-a-like. He wouldn't become mayor until 1978. It should have been Abraham Beame in 1974. I realize they couldn't make fun of an actual real-life politician but as a born and bred New Yawker that definitely was Ed! I...

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: I Just Watched...
Gertie believed in an informal office atmosphere.
{She'll show up sooner or later. Della didn't need
to smoke that often. She got plenty of second-hand
smoke from Perry's & Paul's coffin nails.}

Re: I Just Watched...
LOL! Hopper was good casting as Drake. I don't think he could've carried the show as Perry. I don't think it would've been the long running hit it became. Perry needed someone with gravitas. "Star Quality". Burr had it. Hopper was a good supporting actor. I never realized they ever showed...

Re: I Just Watched...
Interesting. My on-screen guide provides the season and episode information almost always. Sometimes it doesn't match IMDb's data, though, but that's usually on British shows, or sometimes on M*A*S*H , when they had the odd hour-long episode that's chopped into two episodes for syndication. The old...

Re: I Just Watched...
Yes, Raymond Burr's attention was directed elsewhere! LOL. This being a family show, they couldn't really show Della really coming on to Perry, but you get the impression she was available if he was willing........At least Della wasn't stuck being the receptionist. They had Gertie for that. Yeah, I...
