Is there such a film with these there?

I love this lesser known Kazan film, nestled between the better known VIVA ZAPATA and ON THE WATERFRONT. Excellent cast, including the delectable Terry Moore, which you overlooked.

One of my favorite "Runyonesque" films is TALK DARK AND HANDSOME, done in 1941 by 20th Century Fox, and later remade by them as LOVE THAT BRUTE (1950). Here you have a Gangster who tries to come off as ruthless, killing off rival thugs, and leaving his calling card for all to fear. However, he hasn't killed anybody, but has the "rubbed out" victims locked up in the cellar of his home, and secretly provides for their families. Quite a fun, entertaining, even sweet movie, although not quite precious.

Those Sixties redheads were some lookers, weren't they.

Despite having a trained singing voice, other than in STATE FAIR, I don't think he ever used onscreen.

Don't know. The daily top ten database search list often has a title missing. However, it is still a scientifically sound statistic that can be studied to discern viewer trends and patterns at TCM.

I always liked a line Robin Williams said, years ago, in a filmed.concert. "I'm one of those guys with large hands and large feet. You ladies know what that means......... ........large gloves and large shoes!"

Like many other name actors that were no longer A listers, Dana Andrews found the roles he was offered in the last half of the 50s and beyond to be not as prestigious as before. Additionally, with the reputation he had for unreliability due to his drinking, no producer wanted to risk hiring him for an expensive film, so lower budget items seem to be what he was offered. On FXM Retro this week, a decent film of his from the early 60s is being shown: MADISON AVENUE, also starring Jeanne Crain, Eleanor Parker and Eddie Albert.

I believe the producers had serious doubts about hiring him before filming began in May 1957 on ZERO HOUR, due to his drinking. The previous fall, he had been fired during rehearsals for the Broadway play "Harbor Lights", which like ZH, coincidentally (or not) also starred Linda Darnell, also a heavy drinker (although it never affected her work).. Andrews was replaced in the play by Robert Alda.

The continuing Friday noir series has inspired movement of some of Tor Johnson's titles.in that genre. 1. ARMED TOR ROBBERY 2. 3. T.O.R. 4. THE TATTORED STRANGER 5. KISS TOR DEADLY 6. ON DANGEROUS TOR 7. THIS GUN TOR HIRE 8. FLAMINGO TOR 9. THE TORTEENTH LETTER 10. TORACK-UP

Reminds me.of that.Progressive commercial with Flo, in three separate periods of the past, where she is going to be.hanged, burned or tortured.

I guess my subconscience knew that episode was in the inner recesses of my mind. I just figured it was Aunt Clara's usual befuddledness which led to the snafu. Of course, Esmeralda was never the sharpest crayon in the box.

THE perfect shag was worn by David Cassidy on the Partridge Family, after the first season.

Wow! The way she is done up, with the ermine trimmed outfit, she looks like royalty. Was this for a film role as such?

Possibly, but there's no way of knowing for.sure.

CRIA CUERVOS is a film.I've always wanted to see. It's title is the beginning of a saying my mom was fond of saying, "Cria cuervos y te sacan los ojos"......."raise crows and they'll pluck your eyes out". Very vivid, to say the least. I will be on vacation when it airs, so I hope I remember to dvr it, and that the dvr has space. Glad it will be showing.

Lol. Was there ever an episode where someone from Bewitched journeyed to the ancient Roman Empire? Or maybe Aunt Clara conjuring up a Caesar in her attempts.to make a Caesar.Salad?

As a.fan of Lucille Ball, I feel embarrassed for her when I see MAME. Positively her worst career move, once tv made.her a superstar. Th only thing coming close was her sitcom.from the mid 1980s, when it seems.that the same team of writers.rehashed the same plots already done in triplicate in her three previous shows.

With wives and fiancees like Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow, no wonder William Powell exuded confidence, or is this the old chicken/egg conumdrum?

So sad to hear. She was one of my first discoveries when I started venturing out to some of the art houses in the LA areas in the 80s.

Some 25 years ago, I once saw Mexican singer/actor/heartthrob Emanuel in a hotel restaurant in Tijuana, partaking of the same Sunday Chanpagne brunch buffet as I was. The girls with me were not too impressed, although he turned heads generally. Around that time, when I had long wavy hair, and wore it loose, I would often get mistaked for (the much older) Spanish singer/actor/heartthrob Camilo Sesto, here, in Mexico, even in Spain.

Sounds like FMC.

Tor Johnson for S O T M One of Hollywood's most popular men Matinee idols galore He'd wipe on the floor They don't make them like they did way back when

I often forget to see what's playing on GetTV. Thanks for the reminder.
