I don't know if anyone answered the question about Lemmon and Matthau being interviewed by Robert Osborne. Their Private Screenings session was recorded on Feb. 13, 1998 and broadcast on April 8, 1998. I'd love to see it again! Lemmon and Matthau as joint Stars of the Month is an excellent idea. Solo and together, their movies would provide a great month of viewing. Although I like a lot of their work, here are my favorites: Lemmon solo: Mister Roberts and The Apartment Matthau solo: The Sunshine Boys and A New Leaf Lemmon and Matthau together: The Odd Couple I could easily mention other movies of theirs as favorites (e.g., Matthau in Fail-Safe, Lemmon in The Out-of-Towners), and there are some others that I still need to see and have the discs waiting for me (e.g., Lemmon in The Prisoner of Second Avenue, Matthau in Hopscotch).2 points

The song is called "Bang! Bang!". It was written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen for the movie "Robin And The 7 Hoods", and it was performed by Sammy Davis Jr. It is a favorite of our poster, The Princess Of Tap. Here it is: I'll bet the prop department was praying that Sammy would get it done in one take.2 points

I loved Track of the Cat (1954) and would love to see it on the big screen. Director William Wellman and cinematographer William H. Clothier know how to use Cinemascope and successfully carry out Wellman's idea to make a "black and white in color" film. Snowy landscapes, black and white inside and out with splashes of color like Robert Mitchum's red coat. This was a pet project of Wellman's, based on a novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, who also wrote another novel Wellman had filmed, The Ox-Bow Incident. It's easy to see why some of the early audience expected something else. It's a western! Yes, it's set in the Old West, but it isn't a conventional western. It's a Robert Mitchum film! Yes, Robert Mitchum has top billing, but he isn't a hero, nor is the film about his villainy, as in Night of the Hunter, and the actor with the most lines and the most screen time is probably Beulah Bondi. So what's going on here? Is it a domestic melodrama about a toxic family with that favorite 1950s villain, a possessive Mom, but set in the Old West, with some heavy but mysterious and somehow appropriate symbolism about an unseen panther, possibly a black panther? Yes, that's exactly what it is, and if this had been made by an Italian director in the 1960s or by Ingmar Bergman on a Swedish island after he'd been dropping acid, the critics would have gone wild for it. Add that when Ma Bridges (Bondi) starts talking about the gal (Diana Lynn) her baby boy (Tab Hunter) has brought home, she sounds like the father in Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming, and the critics would have gone even wilder. So, The Silver Cord meets Day of the Outlaw, and I was loving it. Beulah Bondi's deployment of exquisite whining, passive aggressiveness, and sour decayed Puritanism was just as effective as Katina Paxinou's over-the-top ranting in Rocco and His Brothers in the dominate-the-sons-at-all-costs sweepstakes. This is one of the most negative portrayals of devout believers in the Code era. It's not coincidence that the bitter, frequently hysterical sister (Teresa Wright) is named Grace. Poor weak alcoholic Dad (Philip Tonge) provides both creepiness and comic relief, and the filmmakers use something they remember from The Lost Weekend. Casting William Hopper and Tab Hunter as brothers makes so much sense, and Hopper's masculine gentleness is the perfect foil to Mitchum's toxic brand of machismo. The visual delights of the film include doors that open back into rooms further away from our point of view, not to mention the unusual point of view chosen to show a burial scene! If you can accept the premise that Wellman sets up for us, this is a very satisfying film. A few more details about the back stories of the two young women and a clearer definition of Tab Hunter's growth to rebellion might have made it even better. Oh, I forgot to mention Carl Switzer as Joe Sam, an Indian who claims to be about a hundred years old, but Joe Sam seemed to belong with the rest of this crazy family.2 points

And TWILIGHT OF HONOR (1963) also from his early MGM contract days. Of course he was busy turning out weekly episodes of MGM's Dr. Kildare TV series from 1961-66, so his movie career was a bit sporadic in the 60s.1 point

Roman Holiday (1953) TCM 8/10 A newspaperman (Gregory Peck) spends a day in Rome with a runaway princess (Audrey Hepburn) I haven't seen this in years. It takes a little while to get going, it seems the first half has a sedated Hepburn sleeping most of the time. Once she wakes up things really get entertaining. The Rome locations look great even in B&W. My favorite scene is at The Mouth Of Truth. Peck and Hepburn's goodbye scene is one of the most touching I ever saw in a film. Audrey's doe eyes are so expressive and Peck loosens up on his normally stoic persona. I also love how the ending avoids Hollywood cliche.1 point
