"These are the new lizards. These are the Glengarry lizards. And you don't get them. Because lizards are for closers!!"
Okay, I'll go now.
Mitch and Murray are calling me.

Well, we're helping Warren William as Perry with his crossword puzzle, lol. That Mamet movie is one of my favorites: "It's not a world of lizards anymore, Machine!"

I just saw LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING today on The Fox Channel. One of my favorites.
Never fails to leave me in a soggy heap. The gorgeous Alfred Newman score (I break down as soon as I hear it, right at the beginning), Jennifer on the hill.....the butterfly...."nothing is fair or unfair under heaven".....sob, sniff, I can't go on, Miss G., I'm starting to lose it now....BAWL, WAH.....Holden is just the perfect leading man for this adult romance.
sniff....there, it's subsided. Of course I have many others....I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR (lots of Kleenex; that exquisite Herrmann score that immediately has me weeping) YOUNG BESS; FANNY; THE LITTLE MINISTER; THE GOOD EARTH, KING KONG; MARTY; CROSSING DELANCEY;.PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, RAMONA (another box of Kleenex, please); ANNE OF GREEN GABLES; JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. (the Professor and Karla, and Hans and Gertrude)

LOL, dan -- "gilmore" has seven letters, so this could be it!!
I could see that Korean Godzy rip-off being unmasked as a murderer: "I did it, Mr. Mason! I killed 50,000 people in downtown Seoul!"

This has been running recently on HBO Family.,
I saw it when it first came out in 1963, and I always have to watch it when it's on television.
What is it that continually fascinates me? . The question of who Buddy Love is really based on?
The colorful, Tashlin-esque sets? The insights into Jerry's psyche? The Purple Pit beatnik vibe?
Les Brown at the college prom, looking like he should be in some 1950's ballroom? A creative version by a comedy legend of a horror classic? Lewis not editing out his laughter during his scenes with Del Moore? Jerry at the piano singing some swinging tunes?
What is this hold THE NUTTY PROFESSOR has over me?

I preferred him as a drunk in a lot of "Bewitched" episodes.
That show was rolling in alcohol, from the three martini lunches with advertising clients, to their home bar, to the tipsy bystanders vowing they'll never take another drop after witnessing Sam's magic......

Uh-oh, I forget you're not a Boomer -- I'm showin' my age with the Isley's SHOUT (and they made Otter, Boon, Pinto, Bluto (especially Bluto) and all the gang jump for joy at the toga party in ANIMAL HOUSE)
What is it about 40's movie guys -- they look so sharp in trenchcoats. I'll take Duane to the Noir Men's Shop and get him fitted up. I'll be "raven" after him!

I thought the German cast in DECISION BEFORE DAWN was frankly better than the American one, more "realistic" in that cynical, world-weary European way. The actor playing Tiger was terrific. I too was wondering about that sick major; the scene was very tense; you never knew if Happy would be immediately shot.
I haven't seen SHOCK TREATMENT. I did see THE COBWEB -- Lauren's in that, too. And Richard Widmark is the head psychiatrist!

Dewey and Frank, this is how I feel about December 1st:
-
STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR, with RAW DEAL right before it (it will be my second Mann, after I just saw DESPERATE) is just too good to be true!
Although I long (as I think we all do) for, as Alfred Hitchcock says, the "clear horizon", I'm drawn to the noir sensibility -- I just haven't seen as many in this genre as I'd like.
I'm going to buy my Duanie a trenchcoat so he'll look like Alan Ladd in THIS GUN FOR HIRE.
Presto-change-o......it's love.

OMG -- I'm smacking my lips already over that clip -- you nailed the German Expressionism. And Lorre!! The way he flits about like some phantom nightmare figure, his face, his expressions, I can't wait to see this.

LOL -- yes! Although I think with Mom, it's that she was surprised about knowing her sex.

I just love this ad! It's very retro classy. I'd like to know both the song and the movie..
Looks like it's a Busby Berkeley musical but I don't know which one. The song might be from the 1950's, and I really like how TCM synchronizes it with the film..

btw, what IS a seven letter word for "Mongolian lizard"??
-
Yeah, it doesn't fit, does it? Warren William....Ricardo Cortez......DONALD WOODS??
Now Ann Dvorak as Della would be something to see. I'm sure she'd give Perry a dramatic run for his money, being the terrific actress she is.

Thanks much, jar!
My mother goes her own way (gee, just like Madame Sul-te-wan says of Veda Ann Borg in REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES) and isn't too much into dishing with the gals or joining in the Red Hat club; she says she's "too busy" for that. (she unfortunately doesn't know how to nurture herself and just relax and enjoy life....)
Well, I hate to break it to you, but I was a shy, quiet good girl when young, no trouble to anyone.
I mainly read a lot (Nancy Drew), sketched, rode my bike, watched t.v.
Mom watched an hour of THE WOMEN and gave up after that. She said she couldn't take the chatter and Russell, especially at the gym. (I thought Roz was great) I was surprised; I thought she'd enjoy this "woman's picture", but she really hated it. Although she loved the colorized fashion show. When I asked her opinion of Norma Shearer, she said "Eh".

As always, Dewey, your critical eye and beautiful prose weave a magical spell in drawing us into your always important recommendations.
I've got my calendar marked, thanks to you!

Actually, "oy vey" as well, for Mark Rydell as upwardly mobile but psychotic gangster Marty Augustine in THE LONG GOODBYE.
You shouldn't know from him! (he makes Sonny Corleone seem tame)

"Steel and aluminum phoenixes" -- beautiful, CineSage.

It gets better for me as well every time I see it.
An American masterpiece.
I never fail to be amazed at Wyler's brilliance in the scene where Fredric March urgently grabs Myrna Loy's hand in the bedroom, after she puts down the breakfast tray. In that one economical gesture is revealed marital passion and longing, finally unleashed. Done tastefully yet frankly, with no mistaking the fact that Al is not going to be eating the ham and eggs right away.
Can today's blatant Hollywood match that?

Let me know your reactions; perhaps I'm missing something, I don't know, but I really couldn't take it.

Yep. It's been running it all this month.

I really enjoyed what (very) little I saw of these Masons.
You're really whetting my appetite!

Hi, Terry! Please disagree -- I love all informed points of view, and you seem to have some valuable insights that will definitely make me check it out again.
Thanks for that so much!
