I always thought if you looked up the word "smarmy" in the dictionary there would be a picture of Zachary Scott

I think Jennings is doing fine. And JEOPARDY is to me like FAMILY FEUD in that I generally don't care who the host is( on Feud anyway) I just like the game. And I want to guess the Jeopardy clues too, and the show has given me the mix of being surprised at how much I know, while at the same time reminding me how much I DON'T know! And I give Jennings credit for having the courage to step into those enormous shoes Alex left behind. Anyway( on the "just watched" front.....) The other night I watched this excellent episode of AMERICAN MASTERS on PBS. https://www.pbs.org/video/diahann-carroll-outtake-d89el6/?continuousplayautoplay=true About the history of black female entertainers in America during the 20th century, and how some made breakthroughs, and some, like Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone used their celebrity to become activists. My only issue was they overlooked the career of African-American dancer/actress/singer/French resistance fighter/civil rights activist JOSEPHINE BAKER. centering instead on more contemporary figures like LENA HORNE, Ms. Lincoln, Ms. Simone, DIAHANN CARROLL , PAM GRIER . I meant to post about this earlier but got tied up in other threads with other issues. Sepiatoe

Last night, after a double dose of NCIS (which needs Ziva back as well as Robert Wagner and needs to stop forcing Torres and Bishop down our throats - two people who didn't even know Pearl Harbor Day). The writing has gone downhill (or the show has jumped the shark). After that, switched to TCM to see Judy Holliday shine in Adam's Rib. I have a question for those of you who watch Jeopardy. I've watched Ken Jennings and, while I have never cared for him, I feel he is moving the game along. True, he seems to lack the humor and adlib ability that Alex Trebek had; however, no one could fill those shoes. Next up may be the perky Katie Couric, and later Mayim B. They are only guest hosts, so I'm giving them all a chance (because I don't watch Jeopardy for the hosts - I want to guess the questions). Excuse the convolution.

First, Welles' character was a Nazi who escaped to America. As for today's category: Hamlet (monologue) Spencer Tracy makes a speech to Katherine Hepburn in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Henry Fonda makes a speech in The Male Animal (it is either from Sacco or Venzetti) The Oscars and other Award Shows

Maybe. But then, in EASY RIDER he reminded me of a cross between MICHAEL NESMITH and JAMIE FARR! And I'm wondering if that wasn't the real thing instead of "prop coke". Sepiatone

EASTER PARADE (1948)

Another good episode from season four of Rawhide is called Reunion. It stars Walter Pidgeon and Darryl Hickman, they are military officers( father, son) who been estranged from each other. Pete Nolan ( Sheb Wooley) is hired by the Army to be an scout. Walter Pidgeon is a general sent to make peace with the Pawnee, but does a bad job in making peace. Gil Favor , Pete Nolan and Lt Perry (Darryl Hickman) do their best , to make peace with the Pawnee. For those wishing to see this episode, I will not reveal the complete plot. I liked this episode and found it to be very entertaining.

And speaking of little Bobby Blake here... After he was acquitted, I'd occasionally encountered him traipsing around a little roadhouse venue along Mulholland Hwy which catered to us motorcyclists and known as the Rock Store. Jay Leno shows up there on the weekends too quite a bit, and along with more than few other Hollywood actors who'd occasionally show up there on their bikes. Little Bobby looked as withered and worn out by life as anyone you'd ever see...well okay, maybe not quite as badly as Spector looked during and after HIS little encounter with The Law, but pretty darn close anyway. Well anyway, my friend, a doctor in SoCal with a beautiful collection of 25 classic motorcyles, has always liked the movie Electra Glide in Blue and he has the following poster from the film hanging up in his garage... Phil, my friend NOT the little twerp who killed Lana Clarkson, once walked up to Blake and asked him if he'd mind autographing the poster if he brought it to the Rock Store, and Blake said he WOULD...for 50 bucks. (...and thus confirming in my mind the thought that life can sure end up being tough, show on one's face and can sure take their toll in many regards when they make some questionable life decisions along the way)

Bye Bye, Birdie

Cattle Queen of Montana

Since the TCM online schedule doesn’t show themes anymore, it can be difficult to figure out what the common thread is throughout the day. (The TCM monthly Now Playing Newsletter still lists the themes.) It suddenly dawned on me that the daytime theme for tomorrow (Jan. 20), “Guys Named Joe,” is a tribute to Inauguration Day. (Sometimes I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer.) Here is the lineup shown in the way the programmers intended: TCM DAYTIME - GUYS NAMED JOE 06:00 AM drama Ode to Billy Joe (1976) 08:00 AM comedy Polo Joe (1936) 09:30 AM comedy The Fabulous Joe (1947) 10:45 AM war The Story of G.I. Joe (1945) 12:45 PM suspense Joe Smith, American (1942) 02:00 PM romance A Guy Named Joe (1943) 04:15 PM musical Pal Joey (1957) 06:15 PM adventure Mighty Joe Young (1949) This is followed by the “Whodunit Wednesdays” primetime theme which goes on throughout the evening.

This afternoon, one of my premium stations ran the original Day of the Jackal starring Edward Fox. Having seen the updated remake where Bruce Willis is the Jackal and just wouldn't shut up, I appreciated Fox's performance and the entire film (it is about an attempt to assassinate Charles DeGaulle) is so quiet and subtle in many ways. If you have never seen the film, I definitely recommended it.

Annie Hall

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK (1967)

Well, not necessarily. The apartment door could well have been left unlocked by some workmen who appear by the ladder to have been working in there. Rather convenient for Sanders, I admit, but not inconceivable. And if the doors in that building had the same kind of push button latch locks that Stanwyck's did across the street it would have been an easy thing for Sanders to lock the door after he retrieved the body. I agree. The story went completely over-the-top in the scene that turned Sanders into a Nazi spouting arch fiend. It really wasn't necessary. Having said that I still thought George Sanders was extremely good in this film, both smooth and smarmy. It all went typically Hollywood melodramatic, however, with that rescue the lady from the top of the building climax, however, along with the villain predictably falling to his death. I will say, however, that John Alton's photography does have its moments, that opening shot of the moon with the clouds, the shot of Sanders lighting a cigarette in the dark in Stanwyck's apartment, as well as the lighting on his face when he went all Nazi. When it comes to plot flaws, however, can anyone tell me how Sanders got into Stanwyck's apartment the second time? The first time, as we know, he did so by pushing the latch button in her door lock. Fine. But how did he get in the second time when he shocked her by lighting that cigarette in the dark and was then going to push her out a window? Still, Witness to Murder was a pretty good film, with nice professional turns by both Stanwyck and Sanders and some strong photography. Superficially, story-wise, I can see why some might compare it to Rear Window but that's about it. The Hitchcock film is a suspense masterpiece, in my opinion, in a class as entertainment far superior to anything I saw in this drama. Oh, one more thing. When is the last time you saw a woman running through the streets followed by a crowd of fifty strangers or so chasing after her? Only in a marathon. One person maybe. Two, long shot but perhaps. But that many? Only in the movies.

MGM definitely was seen as the top studio by most, and its fall was symbolic of a lost Hollywood. But MGM wasn't the first of the "Big Five" (WB, RKO, 20th Century Fox, MGM, and Paramount) of the studio system era to fall. That honor goes to RKO, mortally wounded by Howard Hughes' control in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and then finally killed off when General Tire bought it. RKO lasted just 2 or 3 years under the General Tire conglomerate. Also interesting is that the studios in the middle tier (UA, Columbia, Universal) survived the post-studio-system era and came to equal or surpass the status and stature of some of the "Big 5" , and one non-major studio turned out to be the mouse that roared (Disney).
