> Never saw ths movie. Do any of you guys think a teenage girl could really watch this movie and get into it? Because I really want to see it. But I thought Ben-Hur would have taken the number 1 spot... but I never saw that one either; but I will!!
Have you had a chance to watch it yet? B-)

> I saw the screencaps. Nice! It was well over a year ago that they were promoting the release of all eight specials and then the fanfare just went away.
Let's hope the specials get released. From the few numbers on this DVD, they look fascinating.

I'd go with *Double Indemnity*, which starts on TCM in about half an hour. B-)

Are those 2 numbers available anywhere? On the DVD or in *That's Entertainment! III* ?

I don't know about that. The DVD is only about an hour long, plus the special features (I didn't watch all of them). Did you check out the screencaps I posted in the other thread?

Fred,
I believe the last Douglas Sirk film TCM showed was *A Scandal in Paris* (1946).
If I remember correctly, it was also a TCM premiere.

Oh, boy, do I have fond memories of that one!

I think TCM showed it not too long ago. Hope they show it again. B-)

> On a slightly different subject, when the "Word of Mouth" promos open, one person can be heard saying "Damn good actress." It sounds like Martin Landau to me and I've always been curious.
I think I've heard that, but I didn't recognize the voice. If it is indeed Landau, could it be from *Crimes and Misdemeanors* ?

Did Kurt Russell suddenly change his name to Kirk? :0

*what is your favorite PP movie?*
Without a doubt, *A Shot in the Dark* (I posted some screencaps a few pages back), followed very closely by *The Pink Panther Strikes Again*. That's the one where Henry Mancini first used the Inspector Clouseau theme:

Well, I guess some people could use a wee bit sin-smeared violence once in a while.

Anita,
OneSharpDame is correct. Howard Hughes is credited as director of *Hell's Angels* and *The Outlaw*; to make matters more confusing, it is generally acknowledged that Howard Hawks directed much of *The Outlaw*.
-
I got to watch *Appaloosa* again, this time on blu-ray - which quite possibly looked better than the theatrical print. (The fault doesn't lie with 35mm film, but with lousy projectionists who don't know how to focus a movie).
It may play even better in home video, and at least there are some deleted scenes that help clarify story points that weren't very clear in the theatrical version.
Renee Zellwegger is still arguably the movie's weakest point, and her character isn't very convincing at all no matter how many times I watch this.
There's also a nice short with Dean Semler, the DP who shot *Dances with Wolves*, talking about how this movie marked his return to shooting film, after having photographed 4 movies with digital cameras.

> nice phtos, ff. I have very good memories of this movie. actually, the first time I watched it it wasn't the movie itself, it was a movie being shown in another movie and it was dubbed to italian or portugues (i forget which).
You might be thinking of a scene in George Roy Hill's *A Little Romance*, and the movie was actually in French, IIRC. I suppose it was a bit of an in-joke, since Hill also directed *Butch Cassidy*
Double Indemity on always fun to watch

All three stars are excellent in the movie, WhyaDuck, but maybe we should also give a little bit of credit to director Billy Wilder. B-)
