Uninvited, The (1944)

There are lots of episodes of ALfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone that would make good movies. Of the former, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is very interesting, and so is one called The Jaywalker, I think, with John Fiedler. As for the Twilight Zone, my brother made a student film a couple years ago based on an episode in which a guy gets a watch that stops time, but at the end it breaks and it stops time "forever." The episode ended there so he imagined what would come later and what would work if time stopped, i.e. water flowing and such.

I enjoy "Prince and the Showgirl." That's a movie I only saw because I kept seeing a clip from it on TCM Scene It. The best film I saw yesterday was definitely Raiders of the Lost Ark. Such an entertaining film. My father calls this the Ultimate Jewish Film, because God himself destroys the Nazis, the Jews greatest enemy of the 20th century at least, WITH the very Jewish artifact, the Ark of the Covenant. Plus, it's Spielberg. So there you go. But very interesting idea. It's not a perfect film, sometimes it's quite cheesy, but that's part of the fun!

I missed the very last ten minutes of PSYCHE 59 after it had already sucked me in. What happened?! I had to go basically after "the shocking revelation", then later saw her get her sight back and them sending the kids away. What happens at the end?

speaking of musical remakes, this one would be hilariously cool: WEST SIDE MUPPETS The Jets are the Sesame Street Muppets and the Sharks are the Muppet Show Muppets. Therefore Oscar the Grouch is Riff who gets Grover (Tony) to come to the dance where he meets Miss Piggy (maria). Kermit, being from both shows, plays Glad Hand. "Alright boys and girls!" But best of all, imagine "America" sung by the Shark girls, led by Anita played by Janice, sings to the Shark boys, led by Gonzo as Bernardo. Imagine Miss Piggy's confusion when she gets the message, "He killed your brother", delivered by Chino, played by Beaker. It all comes out "Meep meep meep meep!"

I think the TV version of Oklahoma is actually much better than the film, but even if other disagree, it's still a great remake. I see a point remaking a musical if the film was bad, or could have been done better. Camelot is a good example: remake that sucker!

Is that William Holden in Executive Suite?

William Holden ....wait, I'll get a new one in a moment

Was she really? Very interesting. I also know that James Stewart didn't smoke, but did so on camera if the scene called for it, I think because back then people didn't realize how addicting it was, how bad for you it was, etc.
