And today I got some great DVDs (and books too) that I bought through Amazon.com and were brought to me by my mother-in-law who was visiting my sister-in-law who lives in Raleigh, as well as "Beyond the Rocks" which the latter sent to me as a gift. Among the goodies I bought are the "Loy-Powell Collection", "House of Strangers", "The Big Clock", "Queen Kelly", "The Black Pirate", "Good News", "Satan Met a Lady", the 1931 version of "The Maltese Falcon", "No Man of Her Own", "Les Miserables" (1935 & 1952 versions), "Unfaithfully Yours", "Without Reservations", ...so I have lot of viewing ahead of me!!markbeckuaf wrote:Wow, Fernando---lucky you!!! I envy you being able to chill for 5 days and catch up on film-viewing! I'm doing a little of that this weekend, but 2 days is usually not enough for me to relax and chill out to get some serous viewing in---I did that over our Labor Day weekend though, a few weeks ago!
I must have taped that same day on TCM a few years ago, as I also had all of those LaCava films on tape, which I've transferred to DVD since. They are all great!
Tonight I'll be riveted to my TV set as TCM honors the lovely Fay Wray--KING KONG, MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM, DIRIGIBLE, BELOW THE SEA, DOCTOR X, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME. Will be a GREAT night!
And I still have to watch "What Every Woman Knows" from the La Cava tape.
Today I watched the documentary "Astaire & Rogers-Partners in Rhythm" included in their DVD Set. Very good.
The Fay Wray tribute sounds great! "The Most Dangerous Game" is my favorite of that bunch, although they're all good. I haven't seen "Below the Sea" & "Dirigible".
