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.

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

Swithin, it could possibly be your suggestion. I’ll try to find a copy of that film. Thank you.

Daytime September 13 The Navy
Hell Divers (Wallace Beery, Clark Gable) (MGM, 1931)
The Go Getter (George Brent, Anita Louise) (Warner Bros., 1937)
Navy Blues (Ann Sheridan, Jack Oakie) (Warner Bros., 1941)
Action in the North Atlantic (Humphrety Bogart, Raymond Massey) (Warner Bros., 1943)
Two Girls and a Sailor (Van Johnson, June Allyson) (MGM, 1944)
Don't Go Near the Water (Glenn Ford, Gia Scala) (MGM, 1957)
The Incredible Mr. Limipet (Don Knotts, Carole Cook) (Warner Bros., 1964)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...

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."

This morning, among many things, watched an interview with George Clooney. I don't care for his wife, especially since she has been an enemy of Israel plus she always looks snooty. She was a pampered girl who can't learn how to boil an egg.
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.

When I was quite young I saw a black and white movie on TV that has haunted me to this day. I’ve tried to research it but have never been successful. This is what I remember about the movie. I think it was a man, traveled back in time to the renaissance times. To return to present day he had to die and did so by being decapitated. Does anyone know what this troubling movie is titles?
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.
