[You Must Remember This. . .]

 

The Road Back is one I am not familiar with, but the story intrigues me now that I have read Evans' _The Coming of the Third Reich_.

The Prince and the Pauper received a large two page layout.

[Commentary Tracks on DVD]

I do like them, for the most part, though it would be nice to have a popup option for some. An audio track isn't always necessary.

 

Has anyone seen a movie that featured good commentary tracks?

 

I usually don't care for the ones which are mainly the actors remembering their careers while we're watching their performance. Some of their stories aren't that interesting, and I go back to watching the movie..

I am certain I live in the capitol of Crackerstan, Hickapolis..

Back to TV themes.

 

Maybe it's me, but the music hit a great high water mark late 50s-early 60s with Henry Mancini, (yeah the same guy who gave us that lovely Newhart theme a few days ago..

Mancini also wrote one my favorite movie themes, Two for the Road..

[Robert is soooo loved and appreciated!]

I hope he's recovering nicely and watching some of his favorite movies! That's what I do when I recovering. Will he post pics of his vacation? Whenever my LA friends would go on vacation, they always say, "up the coast."

 

I hope there will be updates. I hate to hear nothing!

 

Get Well Soon, Robert. You will be soo missed!

[Clips of my favorite scenes]

I do have many favorites, being a TCM lover and all..

 

Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton, in a strange, very romantic movie.

That line was discussed and dissected a couple of years ago in the Casablanca thread. I think Strasser's reaction is great to watch too.

h5. Every line is quotable.

This one, and Dodsworth are two that are for their time, I guess. I should like them more, but I don't. Beauty and the Beast was mentioned here; It is one of the best! The final scene is so good, Disney borrowed it-- or paid homage to Cocteau.

 

My favorite French film maker..

Goddard? no.

Truffaut? No, (only like Day for Night),

Malle, No.

Loved both lives of Bob Newhart, and Loved the final scene in the "Newhart" series.

 

Wouldn't you like to go through life with this as your theme song?

[What Are You Listening To?]

Original Broadway cast of Company, including Dean Jones singing lead. He's terrific!

[You Must Remember This. . .]

Actually, you don't need to.

 

I have _Cinema Arts_ magazine. All three issues. Being an astounding 50 cents each at the time, the magazine didn't last long. It is oversized, and has features of new release features, among the June edition, Lost Horizon, Captains Courageous, The Prince and the Pauper, and The Road Back..

 

I am holding on to them. I cannot reproduce photos that do it justice, but I will add some as I get better at it.

 

Otherwise, you are welcome to post any shots of Hollywood (that the admin here approve as well) I mean, some did get pretty racy, but terribly fun too!

 

h5. I am going back to photo post kindergarten. . .

[a CANADIAN thread]

Hi, darkblue. Hum, my favorite color.

 

Haven't seen Cold Comfort, but reading the synopsis, looks like half a dozen of the type of screenplays I have friends working on. Includes the popular themes.

 

I remember Paul Gross playing in Murder Most Likely. It was an interesting movie and his character is perfectly charming, mysterious and threatening. Very Un-Canadian!

[Clips of my favorite scenes]

Excellent Idea for a thread! Thank you!

 

This is one of my favorites

 

The photography must have been difficult, but Gregg Toland captures it perfectly! Its joyous and sad at the time.

h5. You can skip the terrible nuisance ad in the beginning..

[Kyle In Hollywood's CENSORED Ephemera Drawer]

My brother used to have a travel poster for an airline proclaiming flights to Cuba.. Now those flights will be happening again.

 

I will check with my sister in law to see up I can get an image to upload.

 

These shots cause me to check my old Cinema Arts magazines for something.. May I contribute here?

h5. Wait, I have an idea.. No worries, Kyle.

Oh, you noticed that too? Seeing him in that Mountie uniform. . . (sighing, then panting)

[Casting Thread: Who to Portray Casey Anthony?]

Ryder? Agreed, perfect for the part.

Love these baby songs. I have to say, Scottman, Lewis' Baby, I'm Yours is my favorite. Thanks for posting it!

 

Miss Wonderly, please get busy with the great country number! I can easily see it be hit single. I release all knowledge of the title to you. I am music lover, but no song writer.

 

Keeping to TV themes. I found one, that when I hear it, it makes me smile.. *LOVED this show!* Still do:
