Sorry; take a little seltzer, you'll feel better.
A Tom Collins works well too.

Nothing like Lovecraft and American-Chinese food.

Yes, that scene is very significant. The three actresses give magnificent performances.
Ingrid Thulin I can't get out of my mind. I was almost reacting like Marnie to the red.

I'd love to see VERA CRUZ. What's not to like with those two?

Miss G., I will heartily second a night of Hollywood movies set in bella Italia. Then when TCM sets the schedule, we'll get our proscuitto de parma (as Troy's dubbed voice so sexily orders at that cozy restaurant), our vino, throw carb caution to the winds with spaghetti carbonara, and finish off with ricotta cheesecake. I think Troy looks terrific in that white suit; it really plays up his golden hair. I've always loved Suzanne, and apparently in that scene Connie seems to love her too, and I say, why not? I'm not sure, but I think Jerry Vale made a single out of Al Di La, or perhaps it was on one of his albums.. Great voice, but I've really got the warmies for Emilio Pericoli, who you see on the clip singing it. God, that's one handsome Italian.
I love those schmaltzy singers from that time period; Connie Francis is a favorite.
I just purchased my first computer (this one) last year, and it obeys my every command. Although the other evening, THIS came onto my screen: I LOVE YOU BRONXGIRL WILL YOU MARRY ME?
I feel like Wally Cox in that Twilight Zone episode, "From Agnes, With Love".

Cinemaven and Miss G., I like ROME ADVENTURE with Suzanne (a favorite), Troy, the beautiful song Al Di La, and of course Rome.
Even Miss Prison Matron (Constance Ford) is in this!
In Spanish, it's almost like a sexy foreign film, isn't it?

I liked ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI. It has the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery I've ever seen in a western. Gable relies too much on his King of Hollywood smile, and has only one brief but effective dramatic moment, when he's telling his Indian bride how much he's come to care for her.
Adolph Menjou seems thoroughly to enjoy himself as a French-Canadian trapper. He of course is not his typical sartorically resplendent self, although his beard seems well-maintained for a mountain man.
There is a near-brilliant comic choreography of brawling that John Ford should have emulated. Wellman keeps it short and sweet
On the other hand, Clark's foot chase with the Indians is pretty hamhanded, and makes one recall the poetry and excitement of Fonda's similiar scene in DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK.

I saw THE MAN FROM LARAMIE on the Western Channel the other night. Loved Stewart in it, and Arthur Kennedy gives his usual fine performance, although I was confused about his character's motivations in the second half.
Alex Nicol ("Say please!") is something to see as the spoiled sadistic psycho son.
I'd like to see the other Stewart Manns before commenting further on this one.

I never saw that, but I hear it's very good.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say we all love Andy, but, not in swim trunks.
-
I saw CRIES AND WHISPERS last week.
Another masterpiece. So very hard to watch, but I guess that's the point. Takes you through such a gut-wrenching emotional experience; I was quite wrung out after viewing.

I've actually had crabs with egg foo young. (for dinner)
-
Thanks for Sugarfoot.
-
And TORRID ZONE is coming up in January.
-
I was wondering about the name myself.
-
If you put a blonde wig on the Creature, I honestly think he looks like Troy Donahue.
-
-
As I was reading the lyrics you posted, I was singing along, again.
Thanks for the memories!
-
LOL.
Yes, he gives the monster je ne sais quoi.
-
It looks like walking egg foo young.

LOL

I didn't know that about ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI. I feel there should have been more characterization; maybe that's what Wellman orginally intended? I'd love to see THE TALL MEN and THE FAR COUNTRY.
I thought the MacMahon-Crisp relationship was intriguing, but the ending was a bit too pat for me.
I have to admit I'm getting a bit queasy about the Mann sadism. Is it in every one of his movies?
