Hint
The great classical actress is a great Greek classical actress. When her crimes are found out, she takes poison.
-
Another hint: Think Boris Karloff glowing in the dark.
-
Oh, sorry, I know that. I was getting off the topic of Universal, switching to horror films that I pine for.
-
Speaking of cats, a movie I am looking for is The Creeper (1948), in which a man turns his hand into a cat's paw.

Thanks for the info and for those great images! I have The Black Cat on the Bela Lugosi DVDs (Universal/Franchise) but want those other films.

She Wolf of London is part of The Wolfman Legacy Collection. I'd love a copy of Night Monster, and where, by the way, is Edgar Ulmer's Daughter of Dr. Jekyll ?
-
Did I say all that? Must have been temporarily zombified! As Mantan Moreland says at the end of King of the Zombies, "if there's one thing I wouldn't want to be twice, zombies is both of them!"
I don't have the Creature from the Black Lagoon DVD. I have the earlier Universal Legacy "icon" sets plus the Karloff and Lugosi ones. I do have a Blu-Ray player, but my only Blu-Ray DVD is 28 Days Later.
It would be nice if the oldies were re-mastered. I would particularly like to see a new print of my fave Wolfman movie, Werewolf of London.
-
Nice! But my Legacy collection DVDs are more than adequate.

Hint: think mad scientist glowing in the dark.

I can't see one of the stars of Dial M for Murder.

So sorry to hear that, she was really great in Chuck and Buck.

The Garment Jungle. I take Finance's comments as permission to proceed:
A woman (played by a great classical actress) with a crazed expression on her face pushes a young girl out of the window.
-
deleted back later with a clue.
-
The Garment Jungle ?
-
A RAISIN IN THE SUN
Next: Pushing someone out of a window

I'm looking forward to watching Devotion and Animal Kingdom. I LOVE Ann Harding, one of the unsung greats.
-
Chicken Every Sunday ?

ROFL! I guess the old capital of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) is what's being referred to.

Clore, I was thinking of the pre-PBS 13 recently, because 13 is celebrating 50 years as PBS. The old 13 had a great horror film series called "Shock-o-Rama." Mostly odd and lower budget stuff, like The Creeper, which I yearn to see again.
I remember Captain Allen Swift, Gloria Okon, etc. Also Officer Joe Bolton (Channel 9, I think). I'm going to watch those Stewart Klein clips now. I barely remember when WNEW was Dumont, was that WABD?
-
I remember Gnagy! Haven't thought about that show in years! The morning kids show that we watched was Ding Dong School, with Miss Francis. Never quite got into Romper Room. And of course Howdy Doody, at 5 pm.
But the movies -- Million Dollar Movie, The Late Show, The Late Late Show, and (I think) The Late, Late, Late Show, and Shock Theater for horror films, on after the Ben Hecht Show.
-
That's it, I had the Norma Shearer '29 version in mind, never saw the Crawford one.
Your thread...
-
I was expecting your nudge, 6's, it's just that I think this is SO simple. All you have to do is know the name of our last VP, and you should get the movie!
-
Clore, we're about the same age. How well I remember Claude Kirchner, the Terrytoon Circus, and Clownie (or was it Clowny?). I loved Modern Farmer, as an NYC boy I thought it so romantic, all those countrypeople working in the fields. Modern Farmer was on in the very early morning hours in NYC -- maybe 6am or something like that. I'd like to see those films again, are they available?
-
I'm waiting for The Creeper (1948); and The Fall of the House of Usher (1949 version by Ivan Barnett -- my favorite version of the Poe story). Also a series of Mexican horror including Black Pit of Dr. M. (the dubbed version) and The Brainiac (one of the craziest movies ever made).

I agree with you, Andy, about Russell's performance in Roughly Speaking. It's a great performance in a highly enjoyable film. *Jack Carson* was great as Harold Pierson, her husband in the film. Btw, their son (i.e. the Pierson's), was Oscar-winning writer Frank Pierson, who wrote Dog Day Afternoon and Cool Hand Luke and worked in film and televison as writer and producer for decades. He died last week.
