You know what the real problem is, this is a thread telling us about her passing and negative, disrespectful comments about a person who has passed and I might add who was admired for their contribution to classic films, is just plain rude and offensive. Has nothing to do with being overly sensitive. To make a joke in a thread about someone who has died is inappropriate and just mean.

Well I just watched another George Segal movie, this time it was no comedy: NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY '68. This thriller actually stars Rod Steiger who plays a strangler on the loose in NYC and Segal as the Detective who is assigned to the case. I watch a lot of movies with MrTiki who ALWAYS blurts out the ending of a movie, frustrating me to no end, because I enjoy getting sucked into a story & never figure it out. Well this one even I foresaw what was happening. The first murder seems random, (thankfully nothing gory) But by the second murder where we see this is "serial" compulsive behaviour, I knew immediately the killer was an actor-an obvious plot point. Segal's charactor is a bachelor who lives with his nagging but funny Mom who is played by the wonderful Eileen Heckart. When someone describes the killer as having "Mother" issues, I assumed the climax of the story would be the killer attacking Segal's Mom & the police breaking in at the last minute to save her. Well, that didn't happen. But the killer DOES call the Detective's home, getting the number from the phone book! (how many Morris Brummels are in the phone book?) Instead, the killer goes after Segal's girlfriend played by Lee Remick. She doesn't have much to do here, but makes the most of a thin part in the best Lee Remick way. Sometimes I think her stunning beauty got in the way of her given meatier roles, or even taken seriously, but WOW what a great actress. So while this is a typical thriller, the great performances of the principles most definitely elevated it keeping me on the edge of my seat. I liked it, although didn't quite see it as a "black comedy" as Wiki categorizes it. Loved the quiet NYC locations. One scene had a crowd gathered, presumably because of a murder, but most likely just wanting to glimpse a star making a movie.

I loved Patricia in "Stage Fright". She was a good actress who drew the audience to her. Later in life she was an excellent purveyor of her father's Cinema. She also got the word out about her mother's vast professional contributions to that Cinema. She certainly knew how to honor her parents.

Lucky (2017) HBO 7/10 An elderly man (Harry Dean Stanton) contemplates his life in a small town. One of Stanton's last roles before his death. Nothing much happens in this film but I was engrossed the whole way. It reminded me of 1970s films with it's small town atmosphere and a nice collection of quirky characters. David Lynch has an acting role here as a man whose 100 year old tortoise has run away. Ed Begley Jr plays a doctor who can't understand how life long smoker Stanton is still alive. James Darren appears as a slick bar patron. There is a nice scene between Stanton and Tom Skerritt, who were in Alien together 38 years before. It is a series of vignettes in the life of this 90 year old man, obviously based on Stanton himself, since the character also is from Kentucky and was a Navy cook during WWII just as he was. He also sings some songs, reminding me of his character from Cool Hand Luke.

Yes. Pat's favorite Hitchcock film was 1946's Notorious. She was especially impressed with the performances of Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains. She claimed that her father's favorite was 1943's Shadow of a Doubt. It tickled him that a small town like Santa Rosa, CA could welcome a popular visitor with open arms, not realizing he was the Merry Widow murderer. Scripted by his wife, Alma Reville, Thorton Wilder and Sally Benson from Gordon McDonell's story.

No one was being sensitive. It was only you being ignorant. You're just deflecting on others because you're too immature to admit you made a mistake.

The Cheap Detective (1978) A private detective's affair with his partner's wife prejudices the police investigating the partner's murder even before they learn the partner had caught them wearing gorilla suits. I have long felt that this movie, Young Frankenstein (1974) and: Blazing Saddles (1974) were the triad of great 1970s parodies of classic movies. There were many others but these were the epitome of the art. I love Peter Falk in all his roles and he proves here that he was the master of comedic timing. The momentous supporting cast of: Ann-Margret, Eileen Brennan, Sid Caesar, Stockard Channing, James Coco, Dom DeLuise, Louise Fletcher, John Houseman, Madeline Kahn, Fernando Lamas, Marsha Mason, Abe Vigoda, Paul Williams, Nicol Williamson, Carmine Caridi, James Cromwell, Scatman Crothers, David Ogden Stiers and Vic Tayback are all quite wonderful. 8.1/10 I watched this tonight because it is in the: "Leaving Soon" list on: TubiTV.

There was an official re-release of the film in 1972 that was cut down to get a GP (now PG) rating. That's probably the version that TCM and the DVD used, as the F word would not have been allowed in a GP movie back then. There was another cut made before the R rated version was released. Streisand famously filmed a topless scene, but she stipulated the unilateral right to cut it if she thought it didn't work, which she did.

Marlowe represented status;King resented his status! King was even lowly in the enlisted ranks, emphasized by the higher ranking 1st Sergeant telling him to get into the transport vehicle. He got a taste of power, thrived on it and then saw it dissipate. He only saw people in terms of rank.

Una Stubbs: Till Death Us Do Part and Sherlock actress dies aged 84 Published 3 hours ago Share image captionStubbs's acting credits include Worzel Gummidge, The Worst Witch, EastEnders and Sherlock. Actress Una Stubbs, who appeared in some of the best-loved shows on British TV from the 1960s to the 2010s, has died at the age of 84. She found fame in Cliff Richard's 1963 film Summer Holiday before starring in hit sitcom Till Death Us Do Part. The actress went on to appear in shows like Worzel Gummidge, The Worst Witch, EastEnders and Sherlock. Her agent paid tribute to her as "a wonderful actress" and "graceful, gracious and kind and constant friend". After starting her career as a dancer, Stubbs became a fixture on the small screen in the 60s when she played Alf Garnett's exasperated daughter Rita in Till Death Us Do Part and the 1980s follow-ups 'Til Death and In Sickness and In Health. image captionTony Booth, Una Stubbs, Warren Mitchell and Dandy Nichols starred in Till Death Us Do Part She was also a regular on the game show Don't Say A Word and its follow-up Give us a Clue, and became a favourite of young audiences as Aunt Sally in Worzel Gummidge. She starred in another children's hit, The Worst Witch, in the late 1990s, as well as playing Caroline Bishop in soap EastEnders and appearing in comedies The Catherine Tate Show and Benidorm. Her last major role saw her play Sherlock's landlady Mrs Hudson in the BBC drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch. 'What a talent' Sherlock creator Steven Moffat remembered Stubbs as "the loveliest light on Baker Street". Writing on Instagram, he said: "What a woman, what a talent, what a star - and just about the kindest, nicest, funniest person you could meet. "I don't know how anyone even starts summing up that career - Till Death Us Do Part, Fawlty Towers, the incomparable Aunt Sally in Worzel Gummidge... and, of course, the irreplaceable heart and soul of Sherlock". IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES image captionUna Stubbs, Jon Pertwee and Barbara Windsor in Worzel Gummidge In a statement, Stubbs' sons Joe and Christian Henson and Jason Gilmore said: "Mum passed away quietly today with her family around her, in Edinburgh. We ask for privacy and understanding at this most difficult and sad of times." Her agent Rebecca Blond, who represented Stubbs for more than 20 years, said she would "miss her enormously and remember her always". The veteran actress had been ill for a few months, Blond told BBC News. She said: "We are desperately sad to have lost not only a wonderful actress, whose screen and stage career, spanning over 50 years, was so extraordinarily varied, from Till Death Us Do Part to Sherlock, as well as memorable performances in the West End, at the Old Vic, Donmar Warehouse, Sheffield Crucible and National Theatre, but also a wickedly funny, elegant, stylish, graceful, gracious and kind and constant friend. "She was also a highly respected and exhibited artist." Stubbs exhibited in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition, and her passion for art made her the perfect choice to co-host BBC One's The Big Painting Challenge in 2015. IMAGE SOURCEGETTY IMAGES image captionStubbs with Michael Aspel and Lionel Blair on Give Us A Clue Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth paid tribute, saying it was "a sad day". He wrote: "Such a funny, lovely, gifted lady - a marvellous actress with a special style & a great (and impish) sense of humour." Fellow dancer and actress Bonnie Langford said it was "such a loss". She said: "She made everything look so effortless. A consummate professional, kind, gracious, elegant, versatile and fun. Her Aunt Sally was a masterclass alone."

She auditioned for Summer Holiday as a dancer, but ended up being given one of the main roles. She had no formal acting training, saying: "I've been to the school of observation. I learned everything there." She maintained a long careerthat saw her remain popular with successive generations. "Different age groups recognise me for different things," she said. She starred on stage as well as screen, including in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night - which she described as her most challenging part - and in the original cast of the National Theatre adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In her private life,Stubbs was married and divorced twice, to actors Peter Gilmore and Nicky Henson, and had three sons. IMAGE SOURCEPA image captionStubbs and Nicky Henson just after their wedding in 1969 She once said she felt she spent most of her life "doing two jobs, motherhood and acting, and only being so-so at both of them". But she also spoke about the resilience she found under pressure. "I am amazed at the strength I found," she told The Guardian in 2007. "When I think of what a lightweight girl I was, expecting roses to grow around the door, expecting everyone to be perfect... but of course, it's the layers you grow that make you into a person. "I realise on reflection that I'm a strong person - even steely, actually - but I had no idea."

If you have a story

I watched DARK SHADOWS: THE VAMPIRE'S CURSE which is a three-hourish compendum of edited bits of the storyline from the DAYTIME SHOW that explained how THE TREACHEROUS (and apparently bulletproof) ANGELIQUE turned BARNABAS into a vampire. It's the most I've ever watched of the classic soap in a full sitting, I've seen the stray bits here and there on the internet and back when it ran of SOAPNET and SCIFY. Realizing of course that they are leaving all sorts of stuff out (the whole MAGGIE EVANS traveling back in time story is omitted), I still like it quite a bit. At the SEMINAL MOMENT when BARNABAS BECOMES AFFLICTED WITH THE DARK CURSE...courtesy of a WOOLWORTH'S HALLOWEEN DECORATION BAT ON A FISHING POLE THAT FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS YOU CAN SEE THE STAGEHAND HOLDING, I actually (and honestly) glimpsed the beauty of the show. it's the closest a lot of us will come to seeing a GRAND GUIGNOL...or a rendition of VARNEY: THE VAMPYRE on the BLACKPOOL PIER. It is truly to be cherished. I'm impressed by almost all of the acting...JOAN BENNETT has some unsteady moments though, I wish they could have found a way to put her more at ease or something, but at the same time MAMA, for a woman who "has not left the house in 20 years" MS. COLLINS-STODDARD is DONE, HONEY. Five pounds of HAIR PIECES, IMPECCABLE SUITS, JEWELRY THAT IS TO. DIE. FOR. AND IN ONE SCENE A CHARTREUSE PAISLEY PUCCI PRINT, MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if she and JONATHAN FRID (who is wonderful) ever got in a brawl over the last tube of eyeliner.... I've always thought LOUIS EDMONDS was a stiff until I saw him in these period scenes and he is perfect. I am very sorry he did not go on to a HENRY DANIELL-like career on screen. The sets and the costumes are superb. I wonder how they managed to have all those roaring fireplaces on a soundstage in downtown NYC Some of the shots- saturated as they are- are absolutely uncanny.

Oh man. That’s lame that the print was edited. Not that I’m dying to hear f-bombs, but I want to see/hear films how they were intended.

Jeremy Irons Next: played a famous scientist

Yes she was. I love, love, LOVE her in WILD RIVER (1960.) Hands down one of the best performances of the decade.

two thousand one hundred sixty-first category Last onscreen pairing MY REPUTATION (1946) was the sixth and last film for Barbara Stanwyck & George Brent. KEY LARGO (1948) was the last one for Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall. THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY (1949) marked the end of the road for Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire.

I think the ending shows us who both characters are. Marlowe, in spite of himself, has become fascinated by the streetwise King, so different from the well-bred Englishmen he knows. King shows his real affection for Marlowe when he obtains the drugs his friend needs. If you listen carefully, the script implies (which the novel did not) that the two eventually have a sexual relationship. King has a room which he rents out to people seeking privacy, and Marlowe's dialogue at the end about "what we had" uses the language of love. The writer-director, Bryan Forbes, heterosexual himself, had worked for years in a milieu with many gay men, and he was sympathetic to their situation. Marlowe would like to maintain contact with King or at least know that King also valued the time they had spent together, but for King, the world where he can be king rat is suddenly gone, and his way of coping with the new situation is to shut the old life out of his mind. I like this ending very much.

Breck, Peter

I enjoyed that show.

We have a tie: Jon Voight (amateur/aspiring pro) and Sylvia Miles (semi-pro) next: Great hair! You would love to have hair like this actress or actor

Merrick, Bob --Rock Hudson in Magnificent Obsession

I actually continued buying Jethro Tull albums after Thick as a Brick, up to Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die, whereupon I bailed. I found that I was doing more needle-lifting on post-Thick as Brick records. The Jazz-Blues-Ballad-Prog Rock mélange that had hooked me on Jethro Tull was steadily being replaced by "Hard Rock." Although I never considered Jethro Tull a "Heavy Metal" band, when it won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental," I wasn't the only one who had noticed a change in the band's direction -- a direction in which I didn't care to go. My taste was for the acoustic, sometimes symphonic melodies on early tunes such as Reasons for Waiting, Bourée , Inside, A Song forJeffrey, Nothing to Say, Sweet Dream, and . . .

Hannah Brown, Judy Garland in "Easter Parade"

Angel Heart (1987). Haven't seen it in awhile.

It's definitely worth watching. About as subtle as a sledgehammer, Bob is a poor medical student playboy who can't even afford to eat and is getting pressured for his tuition. His best friend Sinatra is tapped out. His father Lon Chaney Jr. is a drunk and no help at all, telling him that he's missing something. Maybe, but Bob er "Luke" has other attributes. When he learns that Kris (de Havilland, apparently Hollywood's idea of "plain") the Swedish surgical nurse has some money saved that would solve his food and tuition problems, he seduces her with those bedroom eyes that even scrubs can't dim. Oh yeah. He takes her to a movie, The Barefoot Contessa starring Ava Gardner. I'm sure this was just a coincidence. When he breaks the news of his upcoming marriage to his buddy Frank, there's an odd reaction. Is he crazy, Kris is intelligent, kind, trustworthy and supportive. When that doesn't work, he tries ****-shaming Luke. At this point my Amazon video player starting buffering so the second half will be posted later.

Cannon (1971-1976)

From August 11-13, 1921, the Poli ran See My Lawyer, starring T. Roy Barnes as Robert Gardner, Lloyd Whitlock as Billy Noble, and Grace Darmond as Norma Joyce. The film was released in March of 1921 at six reels. The UCLA Film and Television Archive holds a complete 16mm copy. Plot: Robert Gardner gets involved in a “get rich quick” scheme. He invests in a rubber-making machine created by Otto Trueman. Gardner then launches The Artificial Rubber Company. Gardner floods the mail with circulars advertising stock in the company. The money pours in. Gardner proposes to his sweetheart Norma and the wedding day is set. The Rubber Trust becomes interested in buying the machine, and asks for a demonstration. But on the day of the demonstration, Gardner discovers that Trueman is a fraud and the invention is a joke, so the demonstration is postponed. Billy Noble, who is Gardner’s lawyer-friend, advises Gardner to pretend he is insane to avoid a jail sentence. Initially the scheme works, until the postal authorities go after Gardner for mail fraud. So Gardner postpones his wedding and goes into an asylum. The Rubber Trust bribes Trueman with a million dollars for his rubber-formula. But it turns out the machine can make indestructible paving blocks, so everyone involved makes a fortune. Gardner is declared sane, and his wedding takes place. Exhibitor’s Herald called the film “highly amusing” and “exceedingly lively in action.” Moving Picture World wrote “possessing the elements of good, clean fun, along with a high class production, the picture should be a drawing card.” But Wid’s Daily described the film as “fair amusement in rather far-fetched farcical situations; a good deal too long.” Motion Picture News wrote the film was “too lengthy and too complicated to be amusing,” adding “the picture being devoid of humor and spontaneity never reaches farcical pretentions.” The headliner at the Poli was “Blackface” Eddie Ross, who entertained with his “African harp” (a banjo). Ross seems to have started his act in the early 1910s. He also appeared in a minstrel act during the 1920s. In 1924, a “Blackface Eddie Ross” appeared in a New York City court, complaining he had been robbed of $97 by a woman who had stolen his wallet. At the time this was happening, the real Eddie Ross was appearing in San Francisco, and suggested that the imposter was trying to blacken (my word) his reputation. In 1927, Ross began selling Cadillacs in Orlando, but he was still performing into the early 1930s. Ross is pictured below:

Catchup day for the recordings. For the films offered, it looks like Rutherford at near 100% viewing, Segal and Abbott & Costello close behind, Kim Novak and Kay Francis as decent also-rans, and worthy of further attention. So, to answer the question, surprisingly, Margaret Rutherford!

Cary Grant, Notorious (1946) and Indiscreet (1958)

Honor Blackman was Steed's first regular partner. And she, like Rigg, left to do James Bond films. I guess they wanted to get with the times. Late sixties was a new era and wanted someone who fit with that. I like all three. But, Rigg did set the standard.
