The Age of Innocence (1993) Lavish bathroom

"Gus the Theatre Cat" -- sung by Sue Jane Tanner and John Mills in Cats (1998) Next: Song that mentions more than one animal

I haven't seen House on Haunted Hill (1959) for a long time and will probably watch it. Has Svengoolie showed it? A quick search on this nearly six-year old thread indicates that it has never been mentioned here before the posts related to tomorrow's screening. Evidently it's in the public domain.

Expensive gams

On Svengoolie tomorrow, August 14, 2021:

I've always admired Henry Armetta's police hat (left) in The Black Cat (1934). Albert Conti's is a bit more traditional.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Rex Ingram was in The Green Pastures with Oscar Polk.

Beryl Mercer was in Outward Bound with Tempe Pigott.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Lots of puns, but not Marx Bros.

Gertrude Michael was in I'm No Angel with Libby Taylor.

The Fox (1967) -- subtle adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's novella

Night Tide (1961) Whoever Slew Auntie Too (1972) -- More Curtis Harrington

"O Des Golden Slippers" -- dance by Henry Fonda and Irene Rich (and others) in Fort Apache (1948) Next: British folk song in an American film

Playgirl After Dark (1960) -- When I saw this movie, I was about ten years old. It was called by its American title, Too Hot too Handle. Christopher Lee has a supporting role.

I love Navy Blues, first saw it when it was on Million Dollar Movie decades ago. It's funny, has good songs, and great performances, particularly by Ann Sheridan. Sadly, a musical comedy about the Navy in Waikiki which opened in September 1941 had a problem a few months later...

Tom Jones (particularly Joan Greenwood) Next: Satire

Marat/Sade (1967)

Here is the great Irish street singer Maggie Barry singing "The Hills of Donegal." And why on earth, you're asking, am I posting this here? Because I once saw an interview with her granddaughter, who said that her grandmother convinced her grandchildren that she (Maggie) was married to Robert Mitchum and that he'd be over to see them as soon as he finished his latest movie in Hollywood. "The myths that surrounded her were often perpetuated by Barry herself. It’s unlikely she attended Elvis Presley’s wedding, as she claimed, and she was certainly never married to Robert Mitchum, though she convinced her grandchildren that she was and that he’d be over to see them as soon as he’d finished his latest movie in Hollywood." https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jan/18/margaret-barry-wild-irish-woman-of-the-british-folk-scene-celtic-connections

"My Beauty Shop" sung by Charlotte Greenwood in So Long Letty (1929) Next: Another early talkie comic song

Broadway Danny Rose (1984) Secret passages

The daughter of a friend of mine in London worked for Amal Clooney. My friend's daughter -- Oxford educated with a few degrees -- quit after a couple of years. She found working for Amal impossible, said she was incompetent and helpless.

Carry On Nurse (1959) Next: Fundamentalist

The Undead (1957) is an early Roger Corman film in which a woman -- a prostitute -- travels back in time to medieval times, to a previous self. She is unjustly accused of being a witch. In order to protect her future incarnations, she has to opt to be decapitated. The man -- a sort of psychiatrist who sends her back -- travels back as well, but he remains stuck there.
