I was always fond of the VAN DAMM place in NORTH BY NORTHWEST. But too bad it wasn't a real place. But too,I kinda like Spencer Tracy's abode in FATHER OF THE BRIDE. Sepiatone

Interesting question and great houses have been posted. Here are my picks. I love the hominess and setting of the house in "Holliday Inn". Pretty windows and fireplace. When I was a kid, I loved the idea of Holiday Inn and only working on holidays. I also love the gorgeous house in the woods on the lake in "Leave Her to Heaven" starring Gene Tierney.

Nine to Five (1980) Private Benjamin (1980) Airplane! (1980) The Miser (1980) Arthur (1981) Tootsie (1982) The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) ¡Three Amigos! (1986) Tough Guys (1986) Wise Guys (1986) Ruthless People (1986) Clockwise (1986) Outrageous Fortune (1987) Hector (1987) Coming to America (1988) Working Girl (1988) The Naked Gun (1988) Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) A Fish Called Wanda (1988) When Harry Met Sally...

The house built for Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (yes, an actual house!) still stands in the Malibu, CA. hills. The land is now part of Malibu Creek State Park, and the house is used for the administrative offices for park employees. Recently I read that several such houses were built across the USA. But back in 1948 (if I were alive) I would like to have lived there, with its red, green, yellow, blue, and white rooms. Speaking of Cary Grant, I also like the set for the house in 1947's The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer. The bedrooms are so huge, as I recall each with a fireplace. Another favorite is the cottage Dorothy McGuire takes Gregory Peck to see in Gentleman's Agreement. One of my favorite Best Picture Oscar winners, the cottage is so comfy looking I could easily movie right in, also from 1947. In addition to the lake house in Leave Her to Heaven, I love their terrific house in the Southwest, can't remember if it's Arizona or New Mexico. The set designer was nominated, but was robbed of the Oscar for Best Color Interior Decoration. And I totally agree with the Black Hills house in N By NW. Again an Oscar nod for Color Art & Set Decoration, but no win.

Without a doubt one of Bela's best non-Dracula roles as the sinister Ygor. Even though the monster isn't quite as sympathetic in here as he was in the previous 2 films, he still isn't the real villain in here. It's Ygor, (SPOILER) using him to exact Ygor's twisted revenge on all those who saw to it that he hung. Their misfortune that he survived the hanging. Basil Rathbone also turns in a fine performance as Wolf von Frankenstein, originally intending no harm, but finds himself turning into his father's son, whether he likes it or not. And Lionel Atwill is a joy to watch as the one-armed Inspector Krogh. Not quite up there with James Whale's films, but I still think it's a good movie.

I've been to the home that was used as the exterior of his apartment. It's on Lombard Street in San Francisco, one block down from the famous "world's crookedest street" block of Lombard. (If you look closely, you'll see it in the process shots of Stewart driving.) I imagine that one of the owners' head was spinning from too much VERTIGO tourism because there is now a large wall in front of the building that blocks the view of the edifice.

Saturday, October 16/17 3:15 a.m. The Killing Fields (1984). Hang S. Ngor’s Oscar winning performance.

Even though I love Bette, I think she overplays her hand somewhat in Elizabeth and Essex. I think Errol outshines her. Flora Robson, Errol's Elizabeth I in The Sea Hawk, was much better than Davis, imo.

Thank you, I make them on rare occasion...

How about The Beatles' flat in Help! (1965) I liked John Lennon's revolving bookcase and the sunken bed in the floor.

The two theatrical films based on the television series DARK SHADOWS were filmed at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, NY. The house is open for tours and well worth visiting. https://lyndhurst.org/ I'm also partial to the Frank Lloyd Wright home in A SUMMER PLACE.

I've always thought Ratso Rizzo had a cute apartment...

On Svengoolie tomorrow, October 16, 2021:

Swiss Family Robinson. 😎 Just So Long As it Comes "Furnished" with Dorothy MaGuire and John Mills mind you, lol. Have ALWAYS, Wanted a Pirate Alarm. Lol. If That Phantasmagorical Living Residence is Not, on the market however. Micmacs, it is.

I think I got it for Christmas 1968. It does have a number of different musical styles, right down to the Tiny Tim like Honey Pie. And most of them are first rate, very rare for a double album, though I think Lennon was the only one who insisted on including Revolution 9. The others didn't think much of it. Yes, if anyone deserves to be called the fifth Beatle it was George Martin, even though he felt the White Album should have been trimmed. I noticed that Dana wore the same dress two times in a row. I just figured they did both intros/outros at the same time.

Started watching the History channel's 2019 series The Food That Built America...really interesting. Good narration and reenactments ..I'm learning a lot I'll never need to know (first assembly line, all electric factory? Not Ford..Heinz; how the Pemberton's got conned out of Coke, how Post stole Kellogg's recipes)...fun stuff.

The Accusing Finger (1936) Finger Prints (1927) The Pointing Finger (1919) The Pointing Finger (1933) -- same title, different story Fingerprints Don't Lie (1951)

I thought Davis did a fine job as Queen Elizabeth, though I do appreciate Flora Robson's interpretation as well. But, when all is said and done, my personal favorite onscreen Elizabeth Tutor will always be Glenda Jackson in 1971'S MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.

SORRY..........My mistake (misread the list) ============================================ Late FRI., 10-15 UNDERGROUND I ....... 2:15 am (ET) River's Edge (1986) 1h 40m | Drama A group of apathetic high school students learn a friend has killed his girlfriend. After ... Director Tim Hunter "...........In a sterile and oppressive rural planned community, a large group of unhappy younger teenagers respond to parental neglect and police harassment by engaging in increasingly larger crimes that culminate in a violent rebellion. The "shocking" aspect of these stories is that the kids involved are from upper middle-class backgrounds -- the old juvenile delinquency arguments about poverty and environmental disadvantage do not apply here. ......... The main characters Matt and Clarissa (Keanu Reeves and **** Skye) talk about the crime but feel no immediate compulsion to do anything about it; they instead discuss the nature of simply not caring about such things. The manic Layne (Crispin Glover) responds by initiating a one-man crime coverup; he pops pills and often passes out in his car. Some of the kids eventually tell the alcoholic loner, **** (Dennis Hopper), what has happened. ........... Critics went for the picture in a big way; even when not reviewed positively, the film's power as a real-life horror story was duly acknowledged..................Critic Kenneth Turan responded to the grim tone of River's Edge by calling it "The Anti Brat-Pack Movie," an antidote to the cutesy view of teen life then popular in the films of John Hughes. ......... see: https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/88392/rivers-edge#articles-reviews?articleId=1450910

Many, many, many thanks for posting this moving video. The beautiful song, unfamiliar to me, is "Time Won't Let Me Go" by The Bravery. The lead singer sounds so much like Bono I was guessing U2. 0:18--Louis Edmonds does look surprisingly attractive in this shot. 0:38--Lara looks luminous, as usual. A great beauty. Too bad she was never cast as Circe in a Clash of the Titans-type movie. 0:48--Though it's not a flattering shot, I think that's Joel Crothers with the pipe because he also has a pipe around 2:43. 0:55--Humbert Allen Astredo looks surprisingly shy in this and the other pictures of him in the video, and somehow this is appealing. 1:00--Don Briscoe looks timeless here, too. 2:23--John Karlen, tie askew, is having a "straight man suddenly looking gay" moment. Well, it happens. There are some beautiful shots of Grayson Hall, and her hair looks great.

Somebody else here mentioned that they noticed Dana Delany was wearing the same clothes for both Gloria Grahame Noir Alley screenings. Here's my guess, although it could be entirely wrong: Although Eddie said, "Hey, Dana will be here again in 2 weeks to introduce another Gloria Grahame film", I would not take that literally. I don't believe they filmed the first session ( for Human Desire ), waited two weeks, and then came back to discuss The Glass Wall. That wouldn't be practical. I think it's much more likely that Eddie and Dana arranged to co-host Noir Alley for two Gloria Grahame films, and did it all in one session. That would explain why Dana Delany is wearing the same outfit-- she never went home, she did both Noir Alley "wraparounds" all at one time.

I'm a big fan of neo-brutalism, and '60s modernism in general, so almost any of the Bond villain lairs would do it for me.

Then there's The Green Glove (1952, starring Glenn Ford.

Did anyone mention the menacing hands of Count Orlok in Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)?

Hands Up! (1926) Black Hand (1950) The Left Handed Gun (1958) I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) A Handful of Dust (1988) Edward Scissorhands (1990) Fingers (1978) Fingers at the Window (1942) Five Finger Exercise (1962) The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953)

A Big Hand for the Little Lady (1966)

Yes, Errol was a lot better in ELIZABETH AND ESSEX than Bette gave him credit for. I am glad Bette rescinded her original opinion and gave credit where credit is due.

This is so great! Fantasy meets reality. When I was a kid, people who made it to 90 (and there weren't many) sat around in rocking chairs, with a shawl draped about them. They ate soft foods and went to bed right after Gunsmoke or Lawrence Welk. Shatner is such a sport.

It was a sub-orbital hop, so he was there and back in ten minutes. Still, that was considered good enough for Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. And yes, given the opportunity, I'd be there in a hearbeat.

That video tribute is great. Kudos to whoever compiled it....a truly devoted fan. You can even get a feel for what a dump that part of Manhattan had become by the late 60s. Love what I assume is Nancy Barrett's kitchen (it's NYC tiny) wherein her dress blends into the wallpaper. And David Selby wears an absolutely fabulous black, sort of satiny jacket which I must track down.

Terror Beneath the Sea (1966) Japan/Dir: Hajime Sato - Silly sci-fi action with Sonny Chiba as an adventurous reporter covering a story on the development of a new homing torpedo. During a test launch, the military discover a race of amphibious men. Unlike most Japanese movies of the time, this one was made with the international markets in mind. Japanese-language and English-language versions were filmed, and much of the cast is comprised of American and European actors. Some fun sets (obviously inspired by the James Bond films), color cinematography, and the charisma of leading man Chiba aren't enough to elevate the less-than-mediocre script and poor special effects. Also known as Agent X-2: Operation Underwater and Water Cyborg. (5/10)

I like the house from The Royal Tenenbaums

Golightly, Holly, played by Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Jayne Mansfield Next: Joseph Cotten, Yves Montand, Betty Grable

Good movie with good performances from Hang S. Ngor and a pre-LAW AND ORDER Sam Waterston. Painful to watch at times though.

ARITOSTHENES, I forgot the Swiss Family Robinson tree house! That was ingenious, and one of my first "house loves" in movies. Ha, RJBARTROP, it's a mad, Mod world. SKIMPOLE, there has to be an Oscar (or the European equivalent) in those films for art direction-- Old World lush!

Dancing Co-ed (1939)

I've seen the terms used interchangeably, so it's all good And I so want to book a room here: Whatever it lacks in accommodations, the view will more than make up for it.

That was Steamboat Willie, the German guy who Captain Miller allowed to go free after Wade's death, hoping he'd be captured by an American Unit, but apparently, and unfortunately for Miller, Willie's own guys found him first. Upham ends up shooting Willie in revenge for Willie's gunning down Miller. The SS who killed Mellish is a completely different man.

Tales of Manhattan (1942)

I'am surprised nobody mentionned this : Dana Delany had the same clothes 3 weeks before on the Gloria Grahame evening,including Noir Alley. At the screening Eddie mentionned she would be back for The Glass Wall a few weeks later.I think this was improvised and she did not know it would be broadcasted a few weeks later,otherwise she would have brought extra clothes for the taping. Somebody did not to do the job correctly there and then . I do not like anything in the 'new' TCM ...all the intros vanished, no more precise timing,yes ,later etc is showing no respect for the viewers for the possiblity of recording. I watched the intro to the French short film Le Coup Du Berger by Jacques Rivette by accident believe me. I mentionned before my utter dislike for Alicia Malone which I always skip.But last wednesday for the intro she said phoneticaly Coup as KU in French it means A$$ instead of pronouncing a simple COO , so for any body who heard this and understood French .She was presenting The A$$ of The Sheepman. No research at all for one word..she does more research to buy shoes to hide her tattoos on the top of her feet... any way I know what you mean Lawrence A

"You mean to say that a native knows that you were wearing underpants? Good God, this is more serious than I thought!” Carry On Up the Khyber (1968) The 3rd Foot and Mouth Regiment, commanded by Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond (Sid James), is responsible for the area around the Khyber Pass, in British India. The natives, governed by the Khasi of Kalabar, are terrified of the prestigious British army unit, who are said not to wear anything under their kilts. One timid soldier, Private Widdle (Charles Hawtrey), is prone to chill, and, going against the rules, wears underwear. As he is patrolling the Pass solo, he is approached by Bungit Din (Bernard Bresslaw), a fearsome Burpa. Widdle faints. Din uses his sword to lift the prone Widdle’s kilt and is shocked and amused to find that Widdle is wearing underwear. He takes the underwear to the Khasi, his leader (Kenneth Williams), who knows that now that the secret is out, the natives will no longer fear the Brits. This hilarious low-brow movie is one of the best of the divine Carry On series, though, these days, it would no doubt meet with disapproval from the woke brigade. The puns are brilliant, the characters sublimely inane, and the sexual innuendo omnipresent. I’ve seen this film many times, and I never tire of it. In the end, the regiment lifts its skirts and scares the natives away. Kenneth Williams to Sid James: "And how is our most gracious Majesty Queen Waterloo?"

Apparently he has completely and utterly eschewed the spotlight, he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. He is straight and married and I think lives in Florida and has some normal kind of business now, I’m pretty sure he has never even been to any of the festivals. I have to say, I sort of understand all this- the fandom for DS is SO INTENSE, it’s got to be a lot to handle.

He seems to have a wonderful time, whatever he's doing. Endlessly curious. A while back, he even had that quirky interview show, (was it syndicated?) which was intensely one-on-one, with crazy, interesting conversations that went on and on....

I bet it's more Svengoolie than his editors. The cutaways usually occur at a particular point in the dialogue where Sven wants to make one of his intentionally atrocious puns. Lame, but it comes with the territory and I'm pretty comfortable with it. It's kind of why I watch, for the corny schlock humor. Yes, there are some classics where he could tone it down, but many of the movies need his comic take on them to help put them across. If you want to be annoyed by inartfully placed commercials get mad at YouTube. What's going on there lately is ridiculous; commercials pop up in the middle of a sentence.
