Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I love Lana Turner's white lampshade chapeau in BACHELOR IN PARADISE. Still waiting for CALL ME BWANA. Bachelor in Paradise is one of the better 60s Bob Hope films because it is genuinely funny. He and Lana made a good pair here, and of course Paula Prentiss was her usual professional self. I belie...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
You mean like casting him as the Next Great American Novelist in Susan Slade and as the Next Great American Painter in Rome Adventure ? I do like Troy Donahue as Johnny in A SUMMER PLACE opposite Sandra Dee's Molly. MOLLY We've gotta be good Johnny. JOHNNY Good... Is it that easy to be good? MOLLY ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
That's basically what these folks do. And it is good all by itself. When I was a kid I used to mix Ovaltine with a little milk to make a very thick ice cream topping. I found OTOV to be very charming for the first half hour and then the musical numbers started, some of which were on the corny side....

Correction -- DIABOLIQUE is on tomorrow (Sunday), not Monday.
One of the greatest horror movies ever made in my opinion.

Re: I Just Watched...
The character of singer "Johnny Fontaine" was a thinly disguised Sinatra in THE GODFATHER.
Wonder if Old Blue Eyes saw the movie and thought about suing Coppola or Mario Puzo.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Holden, how could I forget Girl For All Seasons??? I think I would put that one ahead of Cool Rider! My brain is shrinking to walnut-size.... Everybody, do not forget DIABOLIQUE on Monday. Between that classic French horror movie and PSYCHO, I couldn't even enter my bathroom for about a week without...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Something in my opinion that makes THE GODFATHER one of the greatest if not arguably the greatest American movie is the brief scene during the baptism crossfire -- of Clemenza in his underwear on his back in bed -- the extraordinary cinematography transforms this grubby gangster into the subject of ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Speaking of lips, I'm going to smack mine tonight as I chow down on a satisfying Italian feast while watching THE GODFATHER (for the upteenth time), followed by THE FRESHMAN. My meal of course will be on the advice of Sollozzo -- "Try the veal, it's the best in the city" Michael and I wil...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Dargo, you are free here to discuss motorcyles all you want!
This mode of transportation is actually an integral form of transportation in many a movie. Even Andy Hardy. (he has a man-to-man talk with Lewis Stone about owning one if I remember correctly)
