  1. You're absolutely right Venerados....now you have to continue with the game...

     

    "Portrait of Jennie" is a personal favorite,....I've seen endlessly...I think I'll wore out the dvd!!!

     

    You'd ask what has Michael Collins to do with the movie??.. Remember the irish bar? where David Wayne takes his friend Eben (Joseph Cotten) to eat & have a drink....and how he convinces its irish owner (Albert Sharpe) to give him free meals everyday in return for the painting Eben's going to do on the main wall of the bar? Of famous Irish patriot Michael Collins?...and that Sharpe kept making the toast (drinking beer/ale) "Up the rebels!!" or somtehing like that?....In all, painting Michael Collins with his irish rebels, secured everyday food for ur hero Eben Adams....

     

     

  2. I read in Marke Vieira's "Sin in soft focus", that many pre-codes, among them "The Mask...", were edited or cut for re-release, under the Production Code....some of them (Like Trouble in Paradise) couldn't be re-released at all....luckily for us, because the integral versions of those movies, were saved... Some of the others "cut" for re-release were "Tarzan and his mate", which had his footage restored in the 70's or 80's..."The Merry Widow" (of which TCM owns an integral copy)...but it seems like other "integral" version couldn't be "restored" and doesn't exist at all...may it be the case of "The Mask.."?

  3. Robert Osborne knows a lot about movies and it shows...not just "by heart", but because one can realize he's a movie buff by "birth"...he loves the movies, the classics...it shows when someone loves what he's doing, an in Mr. Osborne's case it's obvious ... his introductions are excellent, informative, entertaining..he speaks well, fluently, so even people who are not native english speakers, would understand him. He also has class, he gives TCM class. Besides, his Academy Awards Book (which I own) is very good.

     

    Although, one may know certain facts about the movie one is going to watch, or about the stars, etc... his introductions are always a "plus".
