What I think happened is that the oscar went to her head. She wasn't quite the same.afterwards,.maybe she started to take herself too seriously.

Yeah that came later. But he had a story on how it first happened, and how it quickly got misreported or misinterpreted.

Well that is not insurmountable; in fact, this month TCM seems to be playing quite a few Fox films,.more so than usual. And when Linda Darnell had a SUTS day in 2011, roughly half of the titles were 20th films. I'm choosing to think that TCM is trying to get a few rarities and/ or premieres for a monthlong tribute. If only this is so.

Boy, my head reels to think that we are still in June, and it's more than a month away until August. I say ths because all the chatter seems to be about September and October.

AUNTIE MAIMED: In which a suddenly orphaned kid gets sent to his only.relative, a flamboyant older woman (or possibly a transgender) who lives in a New York penthouse. This auntie, played by Rosalind Russell, stumbles down her grand staircase during one of her drunken parties when one of her stacked heels breaks. She is out of traction for awhile, but still.manages to impart to her nephew her wisdom and lifestyle choices, positioning him for a life as.a.metrosexual in Greenwich Village. Tor Johnson provides Roz' true love interest.

There was another one, but I don't remember the full name, it starts.with the character's name......ALLAN QUARTORMAIN AND THE........

Well, he actually started filming PATTOR in the mid 60s, but between his diva temperament, and the heat sand and scorpions of the desert, production shut down. It was later.started.with another.actor.

That must explain why neither TORZILLA VS. MONSTOR ZERO or INVASION OF ASTOR MONSTOR made the list. One movie with more.than one name has each title search register separately. Both did get enough hits one their own to bubble under the top ten though, coming in at 12 and 15 respectively.

The recent spate of Japanese monster movies highlighted this lucrative side career of Tor Johnson. Several of fhe films.he made in this genre have had enough "hits" in thr last 24 hours to enter the Top Ten, including, interestingly his first.attempt at this AND the version remade for international audiences. Additionally, YOUNG TORLESS appears to have strong legs. 1. YOUNG.TORLESS 2. TORZILLA 3. WAR OF THE GARGANTORAS 4. GITORAS 5. LOVE ME.TENTOR 6. 7. TORGIRA 8. TORBRUK 9. TOR-FACED WOMAN 10. MOTHTORA

HOOPLA was.another fun precode, and unfortunately, the end of the Bow comet. I haven't seen it in like decades.

Lucille Ball for THE BIG.STREET.

Marilyn's youthful enthusiasm is the best thing about MONKEY BUSINESS, outshining the likes of Cary Grant and Charles Coburn in this rather strained comedy.

Isn't there a thread on the Your Favorites Forum, where various reviews are posted. I've seen it, but never actually gone in to read and/ or view it.

Did you film yourself watching it also?

Probably because it's a 20th Century Fox film, but it seems that this month TCM is showing quite a few Fox films.

Or maybe a film.that features The Kink's "Waterloo Sunset". I know I've heard it in at least one film, but cannot recall which. Probably British film(s).

Alice Cooper always denied fhe story, but I don't remember what was his benign explanation that was the source of this rumor.

THE MAGNIFICENT DOPE has always been a favorite of mine, quite amusing with a game cast that includes Henry Fonda, Lynn Bari, Edward Everett Horton, and the standout imho, Don Ameche. His urbane delivery of his lines as well as his impeccable timing lifted many marginal films, of which this one was not.

It can be done! Yes Susan Hayward, one of a number of worthy beneficiaries of SOTM tributes who seemingly are handicapped by having done movies while under contract to studios like Paramount or 20th Century Fox, or in her case, to both. So with Shirley Temple coming up, there really is nothing that can prevent Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Paulette Goddard, Dorothy Lamour, Linda Darnell, Gene Tierney, Betty Grable, etc. etc. etc. ¡Si se puede!

Ons.of the ironic things about Widmark, who early on specialized on psychopaths, sociopaths, and just generally creepy characters, was nothing like that in real life. Shows what an amazing actor he was.

Booth and Magnani definitely gave some of the best performances in films in the 50s.

Didn't Tor decide.to.retire after.the debacle sorrounding the filming of this botched epic.

OMG. Thank you. I have corrected my post. I guess I need to review after I post.something.

Is this the same.Peggy King who made her first movie when Linda.Darnell.made her last.movie for several years in 1957's ZERO HOUR? She was a looker but wasn't the most convincing with her dialogue. Hope she was a better singer. PS......yes, I would post that on the Brush With Greatness thread.

Thank you. I thought I had answered Holden re. this, but I don't see my response. I still use the old name, for brevity's sake, since.what I post.is the schedule for their daily12 hour classic era films, known as FXM Retro, which has the movies shown without commercials.
