Like any other film types there are "good" goofy movies and "bad" goofy movies. The first Burt Reynolds "Smokey and the Bandit" was pretty good. But I thought that the sequels and the "Cannonball Run" movies were just awful. I actually wanted to walk out of Cannonball Run 2. Anyone else want to make some distinctions, good or bad?

Richard Basehart may be the most underappreciated actor in noir films. He was so, so great in his early noir films.

For those who don't know this, the dog Pard in *High Sierra* , was Bogart's own dog.

Olivia looks like the "lady in white", all white.

Mr Dobbs, if you want to see "Baby" as a blonde , go to youtube and look up "Slick Hare". Its the Bugs Bunny cartoon featuring Humphrey Bogart and his blonde date at a restaurant. "Baby" is at the end of the cartoon.

Add a second vote for *High Sierra* .

I get my inspiration from Henry Fonda ; *The Ox-Bow Incident* , 12 *Angry Men* . And of course, *Mister Roberts .*

How sad, Alice Brady was only 47 when she died of cancer. She was great playing the wacky mother of the equally wacky Carole Lombard in *My Man Godfrey* . "Godfrey" is one of my all time favorite films (top 5). Alice got an Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for "Godfrey". And she did win an Oscar for *In Old Chicago* the following year, just before she passed away.

Katy Jurado was in *Broken Lance* with Richard Widmark

I think I saw this film on the TCM December listing; *All Mine To Give* . One of the all time tear jerkers.

Any relation to Durward Kirby? Didn't Samantha's mother call Darrin "Durward" ? -- Speaking of what I think are dumb titles, the popular 1954 horror /monster flic "Them" . The movie was just on this weekend and it is a good one. But when the little girl breaks out of her state of shock, that's what word she yells? THEM? And of course that one word becomes the title of the whole film.

How about Barbara Stanwyck (she was a blonde , at least one time)?.

If Hammer had done any westerns they could have had a Paul and a Ringo.

I think one of the funniest Christmas theme tv shows I ever saw was on the Ted Danson show "Becker". Several stories going on at once; the girl Linda trying to sing Christmas carols (she was unbelievably horrible), little guy Bob running around dressed as a "Santa" so he could hide from another "Santa" that wanted to beat him up. It was incredibly funny.

Its a shame we can't lose Rupert Murdoch.

I don't understand why the contempt for Raymond Burr, he personally didn't take this movie and purposely trash it the way you say. He was just an actor hired for a role, did his scenes by a script. The Americans (producer, director, scriptwriters, etc) who got rights to the movie and "commercialized" it for the American audiences may deserve your criticism. The American "Godzilla" was formated to fit in with the current sci fi/ monster craze that was going on in the U.S. I am guessing most of the audience was the teenage crowd of the fifties who were going to the movies for the entertainment value alone. So judge it (the US version) in context with the other giant mutant bugs and dinosaurs and space aliens of the era. It is great to be able to see the original version of this film and get the original film maker's 'vision' however. But you will notice that even in Japan the follow up "Godzillas and other monsters" become more of an entertainment then a message.
