Cinemalover -- thank you for reminding me about Smoky and the Bandit. I saw this movie when I was in high school, and fell for Jerry Reed, and hummed the theme song forever. Still puts a smile on my face.
Took several years, but fell in love with cross country driving, too!

African Queen relief
Judith, THANK you for telling me. I read somewhere that the ending was changed in the movie, and I was afraid that they had drowned/blownup/died somehow in the explosion! I'll see if I can find it somewhere!

Jon, should I be embarrassed that I tore through all the Hardy Boys and Tom Swift Jr books I could lay my hands on, along with Brains Benton :D ? I have very few of the original 1930's Nancy Drew's and Hardy Boys, and I treasure them. What a difference between them, and the ones that were published ...

Moira, I, too, steamed through the Hornblower books (um, at least two decades ago) and totally agree with your assessment of the Peck rendition. Not that it's really Peck's fault, IMHO, but I think the script was so far off base compared to the novels. The more current BBC series with that most attr...

Lemon Drop Kid is one movie made from a Damon Runyan story that I've never been lucky enough to catch. Since it's a Paramount release, there may actually be a chance for it to be on TCM in the future. Bob Hope is one of the stars that I feel like I've had with me my whole life. I admit to having a w...

Hi Anne, I'm also a JD Robb fan - I've read most of them, and just re-read a couple of the early ones before I pass them on to friends. I have no idea how far you are away from western Maryland, but Nora's husband runs a bookstore in Boonesboro MD, and she gives signings 3-4 times a year. She also h...

Movies made from Books?
Anyone interested in this topic? I always wonder if people pick up a book after seeing a movie, or how a screenwriter translates a book into a movie. In the long distant past, I read Stevenson's Kidnapped after seeing the Disney production with James MacAurther. At that age, I was impressed at how w...

I LOVE this film. I even saw it after the remake made with Doris Day and Frank Sinatra (also not bad, IMHO), but Garfield just blows me away. (Actually, I don't think that I've ever seen a bad Garfield picture -- after all he and I share a birthday :D ). I also like his pairing with Anne Shirley in ...

Anne, it's funny about People Will Talk - I enjoy the movie, although I haven't seen it for years (when I stopped watching AMC), but I'm not sure I would consider it a comedy. There are funny bits - the train at the end, but the subject matter, and the way it's treated, the unplanned pregnancy, savi...
