Hincks, Max Gail, Susan Barrister, Larry Mitchell. Uncredited: René Enríquez, Carey Loftin. Director Arthur Penn's well-regarded detective tale -- written by Alan Sharp -- stars Hackman as Harry Moseby, a former pro football player turned Los Angeles area private investigator. Moseby is hired by a former B-movie actress (Ward) to find her daughter, a 16-year-old runaway heiress named Delly (Griffith). Although he takes the case, he becomes distracted by the activities of his wife Ellen (Clark), who apparently is being unfaithful to him. But when he begins to concentrate on his case, Delly's trail leads him to Florida and the residence of her stepfather (Crawford) and her stepfather's girlfriend (Warren). Moseby gradually discovers that this is no routine missing persons case -- and that several people connected to it have begun to die mysteriously. The film features the two-time Oscar nominee Woods in the early stages of his film career. He appears in the role of Quentin, an edgy, motorcycle-riding mechanic who once dated Delly. This was one of three early screen appearances in 1975 for the 17-year-old Griffith, daughter of actress 'Tippi' Hedren ("The Birds," "Marnie"). She co-starred as another seductive nymphet -- this time opposite a detective played by Paul Newman -- in "The Drowning Pool," the followup to the 1966 film "Harper."

Roger Ebert, the late Chicago Sun-Times film critic, added Penn's film to his "Great Movies" list and addressed the picture's complicated storyline. "The plot can be understood," he wrote, "but not easily, and not on first viewing, and besides, the point is that Moseby is as lost as we are. Something is always turning up to force him to revise everything he thought he knew, and then at the end of the film he has to revise everything again and there is a shot where one of the characters, while drowning, seems to be desperately shaking his head as if to say -- what? 'I didn't mean to do this'? 'I didn't know who was in the boat'? 'In the water'? 'You don't understand'?" Expires June 19, 2015. 5. Nightmare Alley (1947) -- Tyrone Power, Joan Blondell, Coleen Gray, Helen Walker, Taylor Holmes, Mike Mazurki, Ian Keith. Uncredited: George Chandler, Roy Roberts.

It stars Power as "The Great Stanton," a carnival barker/con man with a grand design toward bilking people who have money. Expires June 19, 2015.

I believe you're right on target with your assessment of Blake. He probably has never forgiven the Hollywood system for its treatment of child actors -- including himself and Bobby Driscoll -- when they became adolescents. Still, it appears viewers loved Blake and his hipster persona during the 1970s, when "Baretta" was a popular television series. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a high "Q" rating in those days, as evidenced by his many STP commercials.

No problem! Your sentiments were well expressed and appreciated. But you could do a whole 'nother thread on people we thought we knew, but really didn't (e.g. O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake). And you could do another one on people whose personal indiscretions caused them to die ugly (e.g. William Holden, David Carradine). Although the book isn't closed on Cosby's life and career yet, it appears -- sadly -- that he's going to be a controversial figure for a long time to come.

It's a noteworthy film because it shows a black woman -- played by an uncredited Etta McDaniel, Hattie's older sister -- avenging the callous murder of her fiancé (Willie Best). Here's a TCM Featurette with comments by the eminent -- and now controversial -- Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr.: http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/135931/Bill-Cosby-on-Etta-McDaniel-A-TCM-Featurette-.html

I'll never forget how shocked I was when I learned that two great filmmakers -- Ingmar Bergman of Sweden and Michelangelo Antonioni of Italy -- had died on the same day -- July 30, 2007.

Ha! We got those commercials in the New Orleans area, but they were for a brand called Community Coffee. I suppose it was like the TV ads that Mike Nichols and Elaine May did for Jax Beer in the Crescent City. I'll bet they did promotions for others beers in the country, too!

By the way, May 16th was the 25th anniversary of the deaths of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Jim Henson. It's so hard to believe they've been gone that long!

Eartha Kitt's death on Christmas Day 2008 freaked me out because of her longtime association with the holiday song "Santa Baby." And let's not forget that the great R&B singer James Brown -- "The Godfather of Soul" -- died on December 25, 2006.

TCM On Demand for June 10, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 1. Annie Hall (1977) -- Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Shelley Duvall, Janet Margolin, Colleen Dewhurst, Christopher Walken, Donald Symington, Helen Ludlam, Mordecai Lawner, Joan Newman, Jonathan Munk, Ruth Volner, Martin Rosenblatt, Hy Ansel, Russell Horton, Marshall McLuhan, Dick Cavett, Truman Capote, Mark Lenard, John Dennis Johnson, Tracey Walter. Former standup comic Allen co-authored and directed this film that achieved a rare feat for a comedy: It won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Nominated for Best Actor, he received Oscars for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay (shared with Marshall Brickman), while Keaton earned the Best Actress award for playing the title character. The intelligent comedy, which set the tone for Allen's subsequent quality movies, is about the failed relationship of standup comic Alvy Singer (Allen) and Annie (Keaton's real name is Diane Hall. She used her mother's maiden name professionally). With Alvy serving as an occasional narrator, the film features a mixture of fast-paced witticisms, sight gags and fantasy moments. One of the best examples of the latter is when Alvy tires of listening to a long-winded, self-described media expert (Horton) while standing in a movie line: In another scene, Annie's brother Duane (played by Walken, who won a 1978 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "The Deer Hunter" two years after Allen's movie was released) reveals a dark secret to Alvy: In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked the picture No. 31 on its list of the 100 greatest movies of all time. When the AFI updated the list in 2007, the film dropped to No. 35. The movie's cinematographer was the great Gordon Willis, who died of cancer on May 18, 2014 -- 10 days shy of his 84th birthday. Willis, who never won a competitive Academy Award, received an honorary Oscar in 2009 "for unsurpassed mastery of light, shadow, color and motion." If you look carefully, you'll see early screen appearances by Sigourney Weaver, John Glover, Beverly D'Angelo, Jeff Goldblum and Shelley Hack. Memorable quote No. 1: "You keep bringing it up, but I don't want to live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light" -- Alvy to his friend Rob (Roberts), who suggests a move to Los Angeles. In real life, Allen has an aversion to the West Coast and prefers New York City. In fact, the only time that he showed up at an Academy Awards ceremony was on March 24, 2002, when he introduced Nora Ephron's post-9/11 short film featuring New York scenes in movies. Memorable quote No. 2: "A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know, it has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we've got on our hands is a dead shark" -- Alvy, agreeing with Annie that their relationship is over. Expires June 16, 2015.
