filmlover - all these descriptions of the Big Screens are getting to me! I can't remember the time when I had this experience. I will have to find a big screen event near me. Between the Festival descriptions and yours here, I feel the need to experience it. I'll have to contact the cinema society in my town.

*Josephine Baker for Bakerfix hair pomade*

JackF - That last one reminded me of Lonesome Rhodes' mattress ad for some reason. Ernie Kovacs was a riot and he and his wife Edie Adams made a striking couple.

I'll be sleepy all day today, but I did stay up to watch *Last of the Mohicans* again last night. And yes, I agree - it's a different kind of running but when you put that and the scene when Cora asks him 'who is he looking at' - oh my.

If I remember correctly, *Drums Along the Mohawk* has the best running scene ever. I'm staying up late tonight.

One more of Lena Horne -

Mr6 - Thanks for that Johnny Cash clip "The Ballad of Ira Hayes". There couldn't have been a better setting for it. I also watched the other two movies shown that night - *Walk the Proud Land* with Audie Murphy and Anne Bancroft and *The Far Horizons* with Donna Reed, Fred MacMurray and Charlton Heston. I wanted to see Anne Bancroft and I thought she did an excellent job. As for *The Far Horizons*, I know it was a highly inaccurate story of Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea, but I had never seen it and the scenery was gorgeous and almost made up for it.

*Lovely Lena - rest in peace*

bronxie - here's your photo! And I thought they were cold-blooded! Too cute. Glad that you and your mom had a great day. gagman and JackF - thanks for that music. I never would have known about it, as I don't venture to the Union. I barely have time to keep up here.

HA HA HA HA! Good thing we've seen it enough times that we know what's coming next, in one form or another. > {quote:title=MissGoddess wrote:}{quote} > I often feel that way when I log on here. Edited by: cinemafan on May 9, 2010 11:22 AM to take out a part

I've told the story here before, but that TZ episode scared the heck out of me when I first saw it. I was the only one awake at my house, and I was sitting on the couch and nearly jumped out of my pjs when William Shatner pulled up that window shade and I saw the *Closeup!* Yikes. I still remember it, and brace myself for that shot.

Wishing all the moms, and those who have a mom in their life a *Enjoy this day!*

Maven - I saw James Franciscus the other night in *The Outsiders* as Tony Curtis' (Ira Hayes) buddy and thought of you. I hope I'm not repeating any photos.

> {quote:title=fredbaetz wrote:}{quote} > Another outstanding performance on the story of Ira Hayes was in 1960 on Sunday Showcase starring Lee Marvin . I remember this and Marvin's moving portrayal of this doomed American.The scene I remember most was the death of Hayes with Marvin lying face down in a small puddle of water and drowning. If you ever get the chance to see this excellent program directed by the great John Frankenheimer watch it. > Always though Marvin bought more to the role as he was a Scout Sniper in the Marines in WW2 and was wounded in the Battle of Saipan where most of his platoon was killed.... fredb - I would love to see that version. Ironic, how Ira Hayes' death involved water, which was a big theme of his life story.

> {quote:title=TikiSoo wrote:}{quote} > I love the opportunity to see a film I've never seen before, and just loved The Outsider. There aren't many films shown with Curtis in the lead and I was amazed at how much was communicated non verbally. You could just see & feel his discomfort, his aching heart and injustice through his body performance. I gained a new appreciation for him as a really great actor. > > As for the story, I absolutely cringed when his fellow soldiers called him "chief" or asked him to "war whoop". I'm so glad that stereotype attitude is in the past. Those insults were balanced by the films illustration of the strong morality and dignity instilled in his character by his cultural upbringing. > > Overall, Curtis portrayed this character as an individual man, first manipulated by his "job" then manipulated by his own community. TikiSoo - I also saw this for the first time. I was struck by the portrayal of "innocence" by Tony Curtis. He made me really feel that he had never been away from home before. I believe that Johnny Cash sang a song about Ira Hayes.

Maybe they are discussing dance moves! (mongo - belated Welcome Back - what would we do without you here?)

*As hard as it is to top Sean, see what you can do with this one today. Bert Lahr.*

*Sean (Mark Rutland) Connery*

JackF, I found the ad for Kodak.

*for Max Factor* *Lori Nelson* *Ann Sothern* *Merle Oberon* *Evelyn Keyes* *Judy Garland* *Debbie Reynolds*

That's more Donna Reed photos than I've ever seen in one place. Thanks for showing us Donna. She deserves it.

Fred, I just caught the end. What was with those unusual musical notes being played over and over? (I'm hoping it wasn't in my head.)
