I loved those "sidebar" vignettes. I glad you remembered that scene, Arkadin!

Vincent Price was generous with friends, family and many people who will never know him except for his gifts to East Los Angeles College. His talents as an actor and willingness to share his gifts as an art historian allowed many to benefit from his largesse, both financially and socially. His biography, written by daughter Victoria Price, is an entertaining and enlightening book that also reveals many aspects of his more adventurous nature like investing in one of the first recreational vehicles that he used for entertaining friends for "moveable feasts."

Well, we know which one you'd rally for....

Thanks for the info about the article.

Ditto the Rodoration, MIss G. I think one of the reasons The Birds is so enjoyable is Rod Taylor.

Thanks for the image, Miss G. I'm Vertigoing now....

And it does have a good score, johnm!

Many images from Vertigo will always float in and out of my conscious mind because the first time I saw this movie was late at night with my Mom when I was about 5/6. The vision of the tower, the staircase, and the confusion about who was real and who wasn't still creates an anxiety about the difficulties of the adult world that perplex me from time to time, even though I've viewed this movie several times since then. I think Vertigo is a cinematic question mark about the paths our lives might take, and with a doppelganger, that scenario is always a given.

Alice Ghostley had such energy and timing. She brightened up many a dull moment. Thank you, Alice, for all the fun and laughter. R.I.P.

What an enjoyable link, Ben! Thank you.

Thanks for the link, fedya, and the info, CSJr.

What a great moment!

I remember a couple of afternoon tv movies with different topics that looked like they had been filmed on cast-off sets of Dark Shadows featuring local NYC actors. Some of them were fairly scary, and some very topical, too. One featured the actor who played the heavy in Dirty Harry when Clint tells him "Do you feel lucky, punk?" but I don't recall his name and the imdb doesn't help...

Bronxgirl, I think I remember seeing this movie in 1965 or 1966 when I lived in Westfield, New Jersey.

Me, too! It is a total blast from the present and the past....

I haven't been able to check any of my PM's since the reconfiguration, but I was just now able to right before this post.

If you can now post, type HALLELUJAH!

Kirk Douglas was amazing in Lonely Are The Brave.

Well said. Ladd's understated and often under-appreciated quality of "less is more" afforded his roles with an unobtrusive quality that has outlasted many of his contemporaries. He was the character actor-lead who observed and subtley reacted, and this ability afforded him a timeless quality in the annals of classic filmdom. And without Brandon De Wilde, he would not have been the Shane we all know and love....

Can't add post for some reason....
