It may not make a huge difference in the final analysis, but it was actually _Brazil_, and not Mexico, where Welles was at the time. He was working on It's All True, a movie he never completed. However a documentary on the making of that film was made and released in 1993: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107233/

Just found out about this... sounds quite exciting. The Palm Springs Cultural Center is proud to add Arthur Lyon?s festival to our ever growing special events and activities: THURSDAY, MAY 28 7:30 PM Opening Night ? BIGGER THAN LIFE (1956) SPECIAL GUEST: BARBARA RUSH A forgotten, noir-stained classic directed by the great Nicholas Ray. FRIDAY, MAY 29 10:00 AM -ARMORED CAR ROBBERY (1950) The ultimate ?B? caper flick.

WOMAN ON THE RUN (1950) Filmed on location, this dark, delightful noir is the rarest of the rare; an exquisite transfer from an original 35mm print! 7:30 PM -THE GARMENT JUNGLE (1957) SPECIAL GUEST: ROBERT LOGGIA Based on the true story of a New York journalist who was blinded for trying to expose the evils of garment industry bosses. SATURDAY, MAY 30 10:00 AM -CRISSCROSS (1949) Originally intended as a Los Angeles police procedural, this seminal noir was refined into a sensually stylized amour nou about the consequences of obsession. 1:00 PM -INSIDE JOB (1946) SPECIAL GUEST: ANN RUTHERFORD An authentic rarity from the Universal film vault that continues the Arthur Lyons? tradition of screening newly discovered ?B? noir films! Rarest of the rare! 4:00 PM -DESERT FURY (1947) 96 min. Lizabeth Scott in glorious Technicolor is truly something to behold, but she?s only one of the attractions. An unforgettable, over-the-top film that is not on DVD! 7:30 PM -RIFFRAFF (1947) SPECIAL GUEST: ANNE JEFFREYS One of Arthur Lyons? favorite film noirs has been disinterred from the Warner Bros. vault! A rare gem, hardly ever screened, that is not on DVD!

I need to keep a list handy of all the movies I want/need to see. If you're going to watch The Bad and the Beautiful soon, you might as well make it a double-feature and watch Minnelli's sort-of-sequel, Two Weeks in Another Town, which he made almost 10 years later. It is not on DVD but TCM shows it now and then.

Feel free to check the cookies. Want some milk with those cookies?

The Phantom of the Opera nw: ticklish

Probably not. Here's another photo. I don't think it's that hard.

Oh that's easy. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* *but were afraid to ask.

Face, body language, and delivery of lines, she had it all. If Mitchum had been smart (and of course if he was he wouldn't be the Mitchum we know and love in film noir, would he?), he'd have gone back to Macao and stayed with Gloria, the heck with Jane. You're right, Gloria deserves her own day in August. > Well said, Rick, and I totally concur with the idea of a GG day in August. Although I'm not sure if I know what's so special about August 24th, specifically.

> {quote:title=Kid_Dabb wrote:}{quote} > Hmm. Is the picture from Heavenly Creatures (1994) ? We got a winner!! Yes, it was released in 1994. Peter Jackson would go on to many other things, among them directing yet another remake of King Kong. And Kate Winslet would finally win an Oscar (after many nominations) for last year's The Reader.

Lane, Ernest - Nelson Eddy in Sweethearts (showing tonight)

The photo is from one of the daydream sequences that the main characters share. The real significance of it is to give you an idea of their shared viewpoints/flights of fancy, and they are visually very striking and, once you've seen the movie, hard to forget. The movie depicts events that took place in the 50s. The two main characters were big Mario Lanza fans. This was the first movie credit for the Oscar-winning actress who co-stars in the movie, and who was only about 19 when she made it. Lastly, the movie is set somewhere that is south of the Equator.

> {quote:title=JackFavell wrote:}{quote} > The "generation gap" aspect of this movie does seem really modern..... It seemed that way to me, too, but in retrospect I have to imagine it's a timeless aspect. Again, coming out in 1948, I try to look at Red River through the perspective of the "Greatest Generation". They'd gone through the Great Depression and fought WW2. But one of their greatest challenges still lay ahead: how they would raise the next generation, hopefully to make it possible for them to build a better world. And I certainly don't mean to disparage a whole generation based just on the most prominent examples, but I think the two Baby Boomer presidents we had certainly seemed to lack a certain discipline, compared to other presidents, even if it was shown in different ways. Then again, I may be reading too much into it. And of course, some Baby Boomers turned out perfectly fine!
