She plays a hot little number named Madge Gortland, with a memorable line to Frank (John Garfield) Madge Gorland: It's a hot day, and that's a leather seat, and I'm wearing a thin skirt. And at a diner a hamburger and a cup of coffee, never a coke.

Yea a time capsule. Dialog sample: Meg: I wish I didn't have to make the scene with that plane tonight. I wish I never had to go back East. I wish I wish.... Hess: Hey hey play it cool chick, like play it like cool. You got to go, everybody's got to move. I mean we can't stand still and wait for the next mushroom cloud now you dig. Meg: Crazy, but as soon as I cut out you'll forget me. Hess: Oh Meg you're the most, but there's no tomorrow not while the sky grooves radiation gumdrops, man you got to live for kicks, right here and know that's all there is. Meg: You know in all the months I've know you, you never even held my hand. Hess: The love and marriage bit I put that down. That's for the Rat Race and the squares, Schopenhauer says and I agree with him, lovers are traitors who seek to perpetuate the whole want and drudgery of life..... That cat Schopenhauer also says that this world which is so real with all it's sunsets and milky ways is nothing. Meg: It's the only world we got. Hess: Crazy.

Been catching this on The Film Detective Channel, I've liked the ones I've seen. I'm also getting a kick out of Jack Webb's Dragnet the 1950s series version, they remind me of many L. A. set Film Noir police procedurals.

I did see American Splendor and remember being amused, though it's been such a while ago that I can't bring up anything specific. I used to watch Carson, but in '72 moved to Montana with a good number of years without much TV. I've always liked R. Crumb, got quite a few of his comix in the 70's still have them.

Scum of the Earth (1963) don't believe I've seen any of his others I've just never been much of a fan of gore.

They would have been better following the novel a little closer.

The 1988 version wasn't that good at all.

Thanks nice to know.

Storyline: A group of office workers go every Friday afternoon to the White Pyramid, a 50-foot tower of LSD.

Watched this the other day, it's great, the setting works since the story is set in Oregon, some of the dialogue seemed a bit to modern in spots, for instance I do not think victimize was a word in 1851, there were a couple of other off spots but the film was an enjoyable adventure with the same kind of just enough odd yet familiar sequences (like The Proposition) to make it work. John C. Reilly reminded me a bit of Hoss Cartwright. It fits in for me with Renegade (2004) The Proposition (2005) Blackthorn (2011) The Salvation (2014)

Yes, he was in a lot of John Wayne Westerns, The Alamo, Three Godfathers, also in Noir Crime Wave.

I actually liked the half hour episodes better, they were a bit tighter and had more New York-eese stuff like the sidewalk fishermen. The longer episodes were more interiors and exposition. My list Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer Alfred Hitchcock Presents Naked City The Fugitive The Outsider The Rockford Files Coronet Blue

More on lighting... Douse the lights others.... phooey ixnay

Hank Worden was another, gotta wonder if he was just a bit touched in the head. He was quite active also his last appearance was on Twin Peaks I believe.

Read the book don't remember if I saw the film.

Its a tight little Western with great landscapes balanced with good sets and interiors. Its different I'll say this and that is what makes this one standout. It's got an un-intrusive, amusing love story that at the beginning turns the tables on an old Western cliche' staple, a twist ending, and great performances by a top notch cast.

I don't know if I'd call Psycho a stalker movie, Marion Crane came to the motel on her own.

I've used it also, you can find some rare films there. But you just may have put the kiss of death to it if you don't remove that link from your post.

For that matter I grew up with my folks saying "turn" the lights off and on, I think its a hold over from the gas light days when you had a gas **** that you turned off and on to light your fixtures.

Night Stalker (1972) and its sequel Night Strangler (1973)

I was thinking more of the Christmas paper part of the phrase, nobody I know uses that anymore.... There's another odd phrase that uses "school" in it that I just can't recall, I know Gloria Grahame uses it in one of her Film Noir, and I've heard Burgess Meredith use it in another also.

Ok agree, it did kind of fizz out, but now I'm wondering about the rest of the supposed episodes.
