You know, I never thought of that before in connection with Sullavan's character, only with his irritation with Kralik for obvious reasons, but he did seem to take out his frustrations over his wife with everyone at the store..

How come Mr. Matuchek didn't like that blouse? Did he think the dots were too "busy"?
But he likes busy-ness in his store!

Whoa! Move over, Missy, I'll take your place next to Robert!
Thank you!
It's worth it to have the Western Channel cause you never know what gems will pop up.

Yeah, ultimately America is always more generous......

I always get more frightened with metal robots and electricity and nuclear power.. Remember that OUTER LIMITS episode (with George MacReady I think as a scientist) with aliens who could only be seen by radiation suits, because they were just pure energy? That always creeps me out.

I have to agree with you about Roy Webb's tremendous contribution to the mood of Lewton, especially in CAT PEOPLE and I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE.

Since I haven't seen MADEMOISELLE FIFI, YOUTH RUNS WILD, and saw WOMAN ON THE BEACH eons ago and don't remember it too well, I was very happy to see them given their due.
Simone certainly looks adorable in FIFI -- well, I'm sure you'll agree with me -- when DIDN'T she look cute?
I LOVED the ample time given to CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE. And the street singer in THE BODY SNATCHER being engulfed in the dark, and the deadly abbreviation of her lilting song....
One reason the doc seemed short on running time to me is that whenever I watch something I love, time just flies.

Re: THE TALL T: you have Richard Boone to look forward to in that one.

But probably not in a western.

I think Bob is in an undershirt in CLASH BY NIGHT, so I'll look forward to that.

I was very happy they had an encore showing, so I was able to catch this at midnight..
It could have gone on another half hour for me -- I don't know why, but I felt like they had more material to work with but couldn't include it all in the time frame that was given them. Did you or anyone else think so? Sonething just seemed "missing" to me -- I was still "hungry".
In trying to present the documentary almost as a mood piece, like Lewton's work, I agree with joefilmone that the narration was a bit pretentious -- and repetitive, straining to find new ways to communicate verbally the poeticism and melancholy aspects of the films.
The best part was showcasing the Lewton "stock company" supporting players.
All in all, I thought it was very good.

Dream big!

It's a grueling experience sitting through it; I was really drained to tell the truth.
I was very sympathetic to Connery, an emotion I don't usually feel watching his other movies.

I couldn't agree with you more about Geraldine's Oscar.

Hi, Miss G. - Terrific THE OKLAHOMA KID and THE TALL MEN posters -- love them, thanks so much! That cowboy hat seems bigger than Jimmy.
Yeah, those Russell boots. Just like Shirley's "Shut up and deal".
And you know what? Robert didn't immediately scare me in THE TALL MEN -- he actually seemed less intimidating for some reason. And he really has lot of sex appeal which I'm ashamed to say I hadn't always noticed.
-
The last moments with John Heard and Geraldine never fail to move me. They have their memories as the city wife is carrying on about how swampy and unsafe the property is.
I always cry. Heard is excellent in his scenes with Page.

I can't imagine America giving the Russians anything in 1956, not even to save the Earth. We probably gave the weapons plan to the non-Communist countries.

Presteign, you have very interesting comments on the film.
You're so right about it (and 12 ANGRY MEN) raising more questions than they answer.
-
It's pretty harrowing to watch. The flashbacks in THE PAWNBROKER are equally disturbing.
-
I hadn't heard of it either -- I was perusing YouTube for Rhonda Fleming, but didn't even know that she was in SERPENT OF THE NILE.
I was amazed to discover that it's a William Castle film!!
-
She did have a lovely voice. Arlene Dahl too.
-
That's really sad....
-
I love the ending -- why, the aliens JUST CAN'T invade again, because it's SUCH A WONDERFUL WORLD, according to Joan. Nothing bad can happen to us because we're the Earth.
And did you wonder as I did, what about the other nations? Are we to assume they successfully repelled them as well?
