Lifeboat: Tallulah hooks sailor Next: Run Silent, Run Deep P.S. Topaze (1933) is a comedy starring John Barrymore.

I'd take those Bible stories with a large dose of skepticism. Whatever their purpose was, it certainly wasn't to give an objective account of history. Just like the tales of old Hollywood, there's a lot of exaggeration and worse going on. Ready when you are, JC.

No doubt about that. Here you've got an extra half-hour or so of Bette suffering in.... forgot what material her dress was made out of, let's say silk. +The Man Who Came to Dinner+ is at least a partial chick flick, but I'm glad old Monty was there with his sophisto sarcasm to keep thing from getting too sappy. Thanks Monty W.

Grand Hotel: Be alone, then. Next: Topaze

Haven't seen this old chestnut in years, and don't have a burning, or otherwise, desire to see it again, but I always thought it was considered one of the prime old-school chick flicks, avant la lettre, All This, and Heaven Too with Bette and Boyer. To each her own.

Gentleman Jim Reeves had loads of #1 hits on the Country charts, but only one of them crossed over and made the Hot 100 top 10, his huge hit He'll Have to Go. Just wouldn't be the same with a cell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbaVEZ-31lw

A Place in the Sun: Burr switches sides Next: An American Tragedy

There were also "clues" in some of the artwork for Magical Mystery Tour and +Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band and also in the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow+ American LP. with Paul in the trunk/coffin. Yes, there was the clothing worn by the other Beatles, supposedly representing the gravedigger, priest, and mourner, I think. There was also, on the back cover a series of 'dots' on the wall which seem to form the number 3 in front of Beatles, there being only three Beatles left. The funny thing about the license plate 28IF is that Paul, who was born in June 1942 would have been 27, not 28, if he lived, which he did. Oops.

Probably one of the best-known and most copied and parodied album covers of all time. And chock full of those old "Paul is dead" clues. But he wasn't.

One of the best of the power trios. They weren't together for a long time, but still put out some great music. Cream doing the old blues classic, Sitting on Top of the World. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSvpGZOsKZU Okay, MFYTPOS wouldn't consent to play that one. Let me try Sunshine of Your Love instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_7xDGhOVjk Message was edited by: sineast

The Lady Vanishes: Miss Foy Regrets Next: Devotion

The first lads of punk rock. Rotten and Vicious were lazy louts, so some real musicians had to be along: Steve Jones and Paul Cook. It worked out well for a short time. If the Pistols had been around long enough, this could have become their theme song, Pretty Vacant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxjLWu7-fEM

Bob Marley, reggae meggaestar, performs The Heathen.

Compulsion: Weighty defense argument Next: Inherit the Wind

Considering the reputation of the original L B Mayer, it would be hard for anyone using that title to put a stain on it.

MFYTPOS strikes again. The video version didn't work, so let me see if the live version does any better. Old timers New Order performs Bizarre Love Triangle. 'The wisdom of a fool won't set you free.'

I was actually able to make three posts in a row, one with a link, on IE 8 this afternoon. That's almost gold-star territory for this site.

Alain Delon and Dick Davalos were among the cover stars on the albums, but here Morrissey seems to be channeling James Dean, but anyway +What Difference Does It Make+ ?

The Spiral Staircase: Hear No Evil Next: Staircase

I think the best direction to go in is to extend the idea of invisibility beyond the wabbit. Go for invisible actors, sets, dialogue, camera work, etc. If you're going to do something, do it right.

Let me see if MFYTPOS is in a cooperative mood today. One never knows. Rockpile only recorded one album, but it was a pure pop pleasure, none more so than the song Teacher, Teacher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BpfFEd7Uro

Dr. Strangelove....: Bodily Fluids Gap Next: Only Two Can Play

They Might Be Giants, who took their name from the 1971 movie, doing +Istanbul (Not Constantinople)+. There are lots of live videos, but they're of pretty poor quality, but this little animated one is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiORtOslfy4 MFYTPOS technical diffiulties.

I presume you mean The Prisoner, which makes things a whole lot easier, since it ran for one season of 17 episodes. That's makes it very manageable, time spent wise. It's been so long since I've seen them I don't remember too much about the details of each episode. Of course some are better than others, but they'll all worthwhile. I think you would enjoy them. Patrick McGoohan later was the guest star on a few episodes of Columbo, along with his terse, clipped speaking style.

The Prisoner is another old British TV show I haven't thought about for a while. I enjoyed it for the most part. It was somewhat strange, but you get used to it very early. The Village always reminded me of a discarded set from Munchkin Land. And as far as keeping track of episodes and years aired, it's easy compared to The Avengers. BCingU.
