Waterloo Bridge - a romance abridged next: High Noon

The father-son angle is very important, without a doubt, and I'm very curious as to how this might have played in the late 40's, when the baby-boomers were but small kids. The "Greatest Generation" was going to go through some of that father-son dynamic in the coming years, and I don't think this totally escaped Hawks. But the movie works on other levels, too, like a sort of Western version of Mutiny on the Bounty. There is also the level of religious analogy, since according to some, the metaphoric title was deliberately chosen to evoke the Biblical exodus, another journey in which a group of Israelites leave their familiar homeland and cross the Red Sea into unknown territory. (I'm no expert on the Bible so this analogy was originally lost on me).

I'm leaning towards Rio Grande, but I don't think I am familiar enough with the films yet. Also, I'd like to watch that documentary on the Rio Grande DVD, which I haven't seen yet.

Gordon MacRae was in Oklahoma! with Gloria Grahame

Jones, Jennifer

Carbine Williams

Not sure if that's exactly what they were thinking, but the times were changing, especially during the so-called "Swinging 60's" in London, and I think that for any reason or variety of reasons, some filmmakers were very open to experimentation. So the cinema of the times also reflects what was going on in society, which I think is very natural. Besides, the kind of movies that older directors like David Lean were making at that time (like Ryan's Daughter for example) were also artistic but in a different, more old-fashioned kind of way.

I was just looking ahead at the schedule for this coming weekend and noticed this Western I haven't watched before, Carbine Williams, showing at 8pm this Sunday. It stars James Stewart and Wendell Corey. Anyone here who's seen it already? Is it any good?

Along Came Jones was shown recently, and will be shown again this Saturday morning.

I am still waiting to transfer my recording of Macao to a trusty DVD-R.

No, I don't think it was his birthday. Sometimes TCM just pays tribute to some actor for no particular reason. Just the day before, it dedicated its prime time schedule to Nancy Carroll, and it wasn't her birthday, either.

Along Came Jones

Paul Ford was in The Music Man (1962) with Shirley Jones.

Iago - Frank Finlay in Othello (1965)

Sorry, it's not Thelma and Louise Another hint: the director would go on to helm a remake of a well-known RKO movie. Message was edited by: HollywoodGolightly

Have you tried using different browsers and got the same problem with all? If the problem is not browser-specific, have you tried cleaning your cache/cookies? Some people have had specific problems when using the Opera browser... but you said you checked the other threads already.

I love that video! :x The montage goes very well with the song, and those darn lil' bitty dogs are soooooo cute!

Alright, one of the co-stars in the movie would win an acting Oscar 15 years later.... Oh and the movie is based on real events.

I actually think they did pretty well during and after the so-called "British New Wave" with directors like Lindsay Anderson, Richard Attenborough, John Schlesinger, Tony Richardson, Joseph Losey, Nicolas Roeg, Richard Lester, etc. There are many great movies from that period, like Darling, This Sporting Life, Far From the Madding Crowd, if...., O Lucky Man!, Oh What a Lovely War!, The Go-Between, Royal Flash, The Three Musketeers/The Four Musketeers, Don't Look Now, etc. There were also some prominent directors from other countries who went to the UK to make movies there, like Michaelangelo Antonioni ( Blow Up ), Fran?ois Truffaut ( Fahrenheit 451 ) Roman Polanski ( Repulsion ) and Stanley Kubrick ( A Clockwork Orange and everything he made after that).

I seem to vaguely remember when they set up a camp for the night, over by the Eiffel Tower. Or was it the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Sadly, it's not on tonight's schedule, redriver.
