My God she looks like Mitch McConnell.

Speaking for myself I have always found Bringing Up Baby to be one of the most exciting of all film noirs. Let's face it, this film's got it all. Gun molls People Being Followed Reckless Driving Suspicious Characters Sex Appeal People Wearing Disguises Cat Burglars Attack Dogs And, of course, Bodies Being Destroyed

I hate Nick! Clueless, cheap, probably a dud in the sack, and not as amiable as he appears. LOL

No it has not. Neither has another lost Bob Hope film, THAT CERTAIN FEELING. I recorded them at SP over thirty years ago and still have the VHS tapes! I played them recently for the first time in at least 20 years and they looked pretty good. BEAU JAMES had the Bob Dorian wrap-arounds!

CHARIOT OF THE GODS!!!

I understand he played by ear.

One of my favorites was as the leader of the Psychic Occult Society in The Ghost And Mr Chicken

His sister Jeanne Mae Clarke

This Pauline Kael ? EEEEEEEKKKKKKK! I'll take "Mussolini in drag" any day over Paul Ford in drag.

Boy, when you guys hate you don't mess around about it. It's like you've seen too many Lawrence Tierney films. I mean, old Nick wasn't that bad a guy. A little slow on the uptake, perhaps, and a bit insensitive, I suppose, but no worse than a thousand others guys I've met. I hope nobody leaves the cap off the toothpaste tubes in your homes.

They Made Me A Criminal (1939) TCM On Demand- 6/10 A boxer (John Garfield) mistakenly believes he killed someone, he is thought to be dead and goes on the run. The 4th movie featuring the Dead End Kids. It's not great but has many enjoyable moments for film buffs. The Kids don't have much to do but have a few memorable scenes. There is a good suspenseful part where they are swimming in a water tank that is getting drained. There is a funny scene where they play strip poker with a snooty rich kid. All the kids have the same names that they had in the original Dead End (1937). The film is directed by Busby Berkeley in one of his non musical films. A good in joke has Huntz Hall singing "By A Waterfall" which was in Berkeley's Footlight Parade. Garfield is very good in another of his tough guy roles. Ann Sheridan fans may be disappointed since she has a very small part here. Another interesting thing is seeing Englishman Claude Rains playing a tough talking New York cop.

Are you sure that's all there is? Not anything else bothers you about Nick?

ON GOLDEN POND with Henry Fonda. THE SHOOTIST with John Wayne. His greatest performance.

See Veblen on "conspicuous consumption."

Ironically, this was the first Steve McQueen movie I ever saw, on HBO when I was in about seventh grade. I was vaguely aware he was a big star who'd recently died.

INTERRUPTED MELODY

At the age of 83, James Stewart made his final film appearance doing voiceover work as the dog sheriff in the animated 1991 film An American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West

To understand how Nick could snag Cora, you have to expand the picture. Guitarists get the honeys.

@HIBI. The 4-door Lincoln Continentals made from 1961-69 had center-opening rear doors. I don't actually know where the term "suicide doors" originated, but the term stuck for those Lincolns and various other vehicles over the years which had center-opening rear doors. Lincoln went back to the standard 4-door cars for model year 1970. The '67 Lincoln weighed over 5000 pounds, had a '462' engine and was a really big car. Felt like floating on a cloud at 75 mph with the thirsty '462' motoring down the highway. Gas mileage was not a concern for this car -- if a person could afford the Lincoln then they could afford the gas (which was much cheaper then); the Linc probably got 8 mpg around town and 11/12 mpg on the highway.

Wallace Beery. UGH. Even worse than Cecil Kellaway! I think its fair game for Kellaway, though, as we are supposed to believe LANA TURNER would marry this guy??? GET REAL! I know it's not really LANA, but someone who looked like her would've never sold herself THAT short whatever the circumstances!

The Friends of Eddie Coyle is so good, and a perfect example of a "neo-noir". And that trademark Mitchum thing, that air of weariness and resignation, of "what's the use?", is on display more than ever in this latter -day Mitchum vehicle ( no pun intended there.) Bob looks all sort of crumpled up in this one. Psychologically and physically. But then, he always looked a little crumpled, even in his hey-day. I always liked that about him.

Garland & Lorne (& Cab Calloway, Ed Sullivan & many others) were/are in Ferncliff in the Hudson Valley, just north of NYC. It must have been farmland back then, the country. Garland was recently moved by her children to Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I adore Reta Shaw, my Mother would be horrified to know it's because she reminds me of her! MrPeepers was before my time too, but like The Betty White Show, I'm aware of it. I definitely am familiar with Wally Cox's schtick. Haha, replacement series. One of the things I lament about our a la carte TV viewing is that there was something wonderful knowing a million other people around the country were seeing & experiencing the same thing you were. It was second only to the theater experience - I am SO LOOKING FORWARD to seeing a movie in a theater with hundreds of others!

Joan Blondell Pat O'Brien Doris Day

as i recall (and we ALL know how well I recall things) the movie itself is a little underwhelming, but it is worth it to see MITCHUM give such a confident, naturalistic performance (honestly, his every scene feels like it was all done in one take, and I mean that as a compliment.) also, fans of 1970s LAND YACHTS are in for a treat.

I visited Marion Lorne- (in the same cemetery Judy Garland was originally) and Tony Randall- Who is very near John Garfield's final resting place, just up the hill from the Gershwins.

Thankfully they're still in the early seasons. I don't look forward to the replacements. Speaking of replacements looks like they put in a stereo where the TV was. Well it's their house.

Speaking of Marion Lorne, what about a real classic: Mr. Peepers?

Kind of a similar topic, but the Criterion Channel is currently offering a 26-film "Neo-Noir" collection; several movies from the 70s, 80s, and present day. I am very excited to watch all 26 (minus the four I've already seen).

And let me also add Francis Lederer and Joan Bennett in PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS about a delightful custom in colonial times.

So you figure it's a hair follicle issue, do you, Dargo? Then someone give Bruce Willis a toupee quick so he can start earning his pay again when he takes on a film role. On the other hand, maybe that isn't such a good idea.

Saaay, I think I remember reading this very thing in one of Ross MacDonald's books?!!! (....suuure, it was in 'Lew Archer Gets a Hickey' if I recall correctly!)

Hmmm... as opposed to glamorous sleaziness. Reminds me of CITIZEN KANE with C. EVERETT SLOANE describing a girl who never saw him that he saw decades before for one moment... and thinks about her still, he'd bet not a month goes by...

Gaslight The Suspect (1944) Of Human Bondage I Married a Monster From Outer Space

Lana's hubby wasn't so nice. He was going to uproot her and take him to his (sisters?) and make her work and take care of her in the Ozarks somewhere. I would've offed him for that!

You're probably asking the wrong person. According to the newspaper horoscope, 9/22 is a Virgo. Don't thank me, according to my horoscope I will be shining a light today.

Yes, true.
