*I agree lets star over....* *Robert Mitchum was in _The Night of the Hunter_ (1955) W./ Shelley Winters!* *NEW STAR: Shelley Winters!*

I'm really glad that I got see _The Night of the Hunter_ (1955) on the big screen in July 2008 @ the UA 90th Anniversary film festival . To see it on a Tv is 1 thing but to see it on the big screen is another experience! In his biography, Robert Mitchum stated that director Charles Laughton found the script by James Agee totally unacceptable; he paid off Agee, sent him packing and rewrote virtually the entire script himself, uncredited.

John Cassavetes has a director most definitely get "_Gloria_" from 1980. The Re-Make is not bad, but get the orginial W./which stars his wife Gena Rowlands. Also see if you can _find "A Child Is Waiting_" (This pops on Encore every month) W./ Judy Garland and Burt Lancaster. However, my personal favorite John Cassavetes has a director is his film "_Faces_" W./Gena Rowlands, Seymour Cassel and Lynn Carlin. John Cassavetes has an actor try either _Two-Minute Warning_, _The Killers_ (1964) or _The Dirty Dozen_.

Garland, Judy

Anyone else watch "_The Little Hut_" (09/05/08) last night? Strange film, very funny. I wish ths they would re-make this, since in 1957 W./the censorship and codes the director Mark Robson couldn't push the lines. Despite the much-touted scenes of Ava Gardner in a skimpy negligee, the film version of "_The Little Hut_" is about as racy as _Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm_. Ava Gardner, Stewart Granger and David Niven were just fun to watch. & Ava was so gorgeous!
