I remember Scorsese mentioning something about working on the restoration of "The Red Shoes." (I think it was with his Oscar acceptance speech for "The Departed.") Anyone heard anything about that?

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa232/dirtboy_bucket/Smiley-aaa.gif It's October...my second favorite month of the year (December being the first.) I love the cool, crisp weather and the Autumn leaves...it's my "birthday season" (to borrow a phrase from Marco)...and, most importantly, ...

Saturday is my day to clean house and (try to) focus on other "home" projects. TCM is usually turned on at one point. I turned it on this past saturday as Ben was introducing "Operation Bikini." Decided to take a look...Wow! It was the "campiest" USMC World War II drama...

I'm a Bogie and Gable fan! I'm glad that you mentioned "The Misfits," Mike. It is a wonderful "swan song" from Gable and probably my fave performance. Actually, all the performances are wonderful-from Marilyn Monroe, Thelma Ritter, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach and, even Estelle ...

Fantastic MOVIE NIGHT, Dewey! No food? Not even cookies full of arsenic?
How 'bout guests? I think my friend, Mary Jane, would fit in...
I'll be sure to wear my Pork Pie Hat...so when you're ready for me to leave you can say, "Here's your hat what's your hurry."

klondike, great call on "The Swimmer" being more effective on the small screen. I totally agree. I think the Perry's theatrical features are better experienced on the small screen...raw and intimate portraits of American life...love and pain and the whole damn thing. "David And Lisa,&...

Vallo, I almost forgot about "Atlantic City." Lancaster in top form (as an actor and physically, I might add!) in his late '60's. A great "breakthrough" performance from Susan Sarandon too. Excellent companion piece with "The Swimmer." Could this be what became of Ned M...

I'm looking forward to watching it (for the first time.) I do like westerns and I'm anxious to see how Huston "handles" that genre. I love his "The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean." It will also be interesting to see Audrey Hepburn in a western! I've read that Audrey was thrown ...

Chris, I had this visual of Mag Wildwood saying "Huh-huh-honeyyyyyy."

I remember reading about this movie while researching Basil Dearden. I think the only Dearden movie I've seen is "Victim" and I was extremely impressed with that one. He really was ahead of his time. Another one I'd like to see is "The Mind Benders" from '62. Unfortunately, I do ...

Another great "driven inward" performance (as put so eloquently by Mr. Klondike) from Burt Lancaster is in "The Swimmer-"Frank and Eleanor Perry's (virtually ignored) adaptation of John Cheever's short story about middle class "mores." I've read that Lancaster gained 20...
