Factual Deadwood?
Heads up: Allegation, hearsay, rumor and innuendo. It is being announced locally that the History Channel program on Wednesday, 9/19/07 at 9:00 PM will be devoted to Old West sites that were known for corruption. The town of Deadwood was mentioned specifically. It may give some insight on the factua...

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but something that struck me at the time was that Lancaster KNEW about her parentage. To me, he had always loved her, and kept it hidden. Did I just perceive it that way, or was that in the film? kw45; You are correct. Up until the mother (Lillian Gish) mak...

What's cooking?
My favorite recipe is " Let's Eat Out ". 8) --Which reminds me of a friend I once worked with who asserted that she was on a very special diet. She could only eat food that had been handed to her through a car window. A food reference in a movie seen about a month ago has stayed with me: ...

Sam at the gaming tables?
An interesting factoid emerged from Robert Osborne's interview with Norman Jewison the other night. Seems Our Sam was the origional director of The Cincinnati Kid (!) Of course that title is one of the proud credits in Mr. Jewison's resume. The differences of opinion with producers that took Peckinp...

eat here, get gas
Over at TCM in the Trivia Forum, they have started a thread similar to this one, devoted solely to the subject of gasoline prices. So far they have mentioned: 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' (1977) -- 65.9 cents, per garand. 'The Killers' (1948) -- 17.9 cents, per vallo 13. 'To Have and Have No...

Another sighting! Just a glimpse, but more to come! Keith Carradine is coming back! Our lamented Wild Bill Hickcock has found work. Ads for the new season on SHO reveal that Mr. Carradine is joining the cast of Dexter as an FBI profiler, on the trail of my very favorite vigilante/serial killer. I ho...

$$$$
Personal memories. My earliest experiences as a consumer. Coca-cola in the origional 6-ounce bottle -- five cents. But if you left the store with it, you paid another nickle for deposit on the bottle. Snack crackers: Cheese on cheese, peanut butter on cheese, pb on malt, pb on a sweet cookie, Oreos ...

The Hill
I did not see this recent airing of The Hill , having seen it twice, years ago, and also having read the source novel. I remember being really moved by it, and and impressed, even though it was not a pleasent viewing experience. Among other memories, it was the first time I was able to put a face to...

1955 dollars
Honestly, I don't look these things up. They just sort of happen to me. Not As A Stranger on TCM last night. About Medical School and the subsequent practice of medicine. Publication year is 1955 and the settings and vehicles, etc, indicate that the story is set in that period. -- Interns gab among ...

Hi cmvgor: No, you're not correct. The $400.00 figure was what he sold his house for - The enormous place where Parris stayed with him.

money values in classic films
Kings Row , viewed last night in a Ronald Reagan fest. It sort of got by me, and I would appreciate being corrected if I'm wrong. When the crooked bank employee absconded with the bank's funds, the Reagan character considered himself in financial ruin. This was turn of the (20th) century, and I thi...
