"Su" and "****" are Otto-censored?
Edit: Apparently so. I can't understand why.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing Dennis Morgan as either Lupino or Leslie's sister.

Isn't the Danny Thomas version of The Jazz Singer set in Philly (at least, his parents are in Philly if memory serves)?

The plot is naturally secondary to the musical numbers, several of which are bizarre, most notably "The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat",
That's putting it mildly. The "Polka-Dot Polka" number at the end might be even stranger.

So how much flesh is there?

One of the most unusual aspects of a WW2 propaganda film like Edge of Darkness is the inclusion in the story of a sympathetic German soldier (the one who connects with Judith Anderson). I can't think of another film at the time that had such a characterization.
49th Parallel had a German soldier who wanted to stay behind with the Hutterites and go back to baking bread (his job in Germany before he was drafted into the war). He gets shot for desertion.

and was there ever a more demented mother-son duo than May Whitty & George Macready?
How about Anthony Perkins and Anthony Perkins?
Danny DeVito and Anne Ramsey are a distant third.

Yes, the David Janssen film. It's both terrible and stupid.

So these are not necessarily cult films? These are just "bad" films people don't like?
Absolutely. Have you seen Dondi?

I don't recall My Favorite Year having the cheap, tacky moralizing that Dragnet did.

And Hotel, which I thought of with the current Starbucks kerfuffle.
(If memory serves, the scene in question has the labor union sending a black couple to the hotel [in New Orleans] specifically to create a news story when the couple's bad treatment is revealed.)

7/11 Zero Hour! The plot of this film sounds interesting.
It's the movie whose plot was used for Airplane! with Dana Andrews playing the Ted Striker role.
It's actually a good movie, except that everybody's seen Airplane! first so it can be a bit hard to take Zero Hour! seriously.

There was one poster on these boards a couple of years ago who from time to time would call me "stupid"
We are protected by the enormity of your stupidity, for a time.

So, you're sayin' then that it's perfectly acceptable for we Goyim to use that word TOO?!
It's OK for goys and Berles.

I have to admit I've never cared for Mister Buddwing.

Just use "tuchus" instead.

It bugs me to no end that I can't discuss Boston you know who films on this board without being censored and you know why.
To be fair, Matt Damon has become more insufferable the more famous he's become.

I like Donald Sutherland, but his Americanness is distracting and he is a cold, eerie presence.
Our Canadian posters are going to have fun with this one.

Plaza arranges a dog-napping and rescue to endear herself to Olsen and her husband, Billy Magnussen, and insert herself into their lives.
Sounds more like Endless Love.

Maybe the moderators finally had it with your habit of deliberately making your posts unreadable with your use of asterisks and substituting I's for 1s among other things.

Add this to the seemingly perpetual stream of remakes/reboots/sequels, and you have a film buff's worst nightmare, so to speak
This from the person whose screen-name is from the characters in a movie with five sequels. From the 1930s and 1940s.
Hollywood has been doing remakes and reboots forever.

The last time I was in church was for a wedding.
The time before that was for a funeral.
