Yes. But even Joan's machinations and evil schemings are ho-hum if you can believe it.

What if DR LUDWIG BESSNER was onto something and ARMADILLO URINE I...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

LAND OF THE PHAROAHS -- I guess every great director is entitled to make at least one bad picture in their career. "Bring the snake in a strong basket" "The gods of Egypt have spoken!" I still love the ending though. So deliciously ironic. William Faulkner worked on the script! ...

Re: SOUTH BROADWAY AFTER DARK

The Rialto is now an Urban Outfitters, but the building is still there. The theater itself wasn't that large compared to other L.A. downtown theaters, but it was said to have the longest marquee on Broadway.

Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood! {Pedanticism=ON} Any two points on the surface of a globe which do not lie on the same line of longitude are both east and west of each other. It is simply a matter of how far you wish to travel when going from one to the other. {Pedanticism=...

Re: I Just Watched...

At the risk of sounding like Jimmy Carter, there was a "malaise" that settled in over films in the second half of the '70s. This is not to say that there weren't some excellent titles that were still released in these years. What is true though is though that there were a convergence of e...

Yes, Alma is back as a Spanish name, pronounced "Ahlma." The name from the past was "you can call me Al-ma." What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one. Geraldine Page's character in SUMMER AND SMOKE was named Alma. There's even a line where Alma says that her n...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Is Jewel Robbery on right now on TCM on anyone else's TV in the East instead of Forty Guns? Ben was with Spielberg introducing Forty Guns then the screen went black for a few minutes then Jewel Robbery showed up. Anyone else experiencing the same ? YEP! SAME! No 40 Guns! LOL. Dunno what's going on ...
