Hollyweird -- being so talentless and dry -- MUST ripoff the past. They have NOTHING!
Hope nobody buys a ticket.
Bet they don't even have Festus riding a mule, as in the original.

Hitch tried to tell anyone who would listen *"Pyscho"* was a comedy...humanoids being so dumb didn't hear him.
After watching *"Boys from Brazil"* again and again, I'm saying this is also a comedy.
Care to weigh in?

The fear is moot. Just wretched-recast-me-trying-to-be-funny post.

"Be that as it may..."
This must go...and thanks for: "went missing."
Somebody, somewhere, just said "very unique."

The charming way society worked in San Francisco in the 1940's. People simply dropped in on their friends at any moment of the day or night...to kill them.
Then the 24-hour plastic surgeon (who prefers to work at 2:00 AM).
The tremendous POV camera work prior to Bogart's ugly mug being revealed.
Bacall's glass elevator.
Bacall's groupiness for murderers who dredge up memories of her dear ol' dad.
*"Ever seen a botched plastic job?"*

Yessss...and how about when THEY refer to *actresses* as *actors*?

"Snakes on a Plane"
Must be talking about those mean stewardesses.

When they end any sentence with....."as well."
Leave off the "as well." It adds nothing.

*I Wake Up Screaming* *(1941)*
They previewed it in Pasadena using the working title *Hot Spot* and audiences spilling out of the theater were lukewarm on the comment cards.
Changed the title to *I Wake Up Screaming* and audiences rushed out of the same theater to fill out cards gushing about how great it was.
There were no major changes made other than the title.

Red bragged he made love to Lana Turner in her dressing room.
I refuse to buy that piece of nonsense.
Kiss and tell? Red, I never thought you were that way!

How about when "professional talking heads" use this insanity:
"VERY UNIQUE"

1. Gabby Hayes
2. Oliver Hardy
3. John Wayne
4. Jay Silverheels
5. Guy Kibbee
Let the slaughter begin!

Cyd excelled in three areas: dance, beauty and acting. I agree that of the three, acting was her least strongest suit.

I just wish Hud would have ridden a hot Triumph motorcycle at some point in that film rather than the Cadillac the whole movie.

"Are my eyes really brown?"
Rick to Major Strasser

Casting Stewart as Rupert has been the talk of endless discussions...but it is a worthy discussion.
Stewart did all that was asked of him, but it's hard for filmdom to think of him as bisexual, which is what he was supposed to be.
Mason, Bogarde, Clift...all could have done the part well. I wonder if not Hitchcock simply enjoyed how easy it was to get Jimmy to do his work so effortlessly (the "cattle" remark).
How about casting against type....Walter Brennan or Louis Calhern?
Also, have we forgotten David Niven?

Dixon Steele (Bogart): "How's business?"
Restaurant owner "Paul" (Steven Geray): "Like show business...there is no business."
*In a Lonely Place*
*1950*

This one is DOUBLE WORST because it's not only part of the movie, Bogart (playing a screenwriter) writes it for another movie:
Dixon Steele (Bogart): "I was born when you kissed me...I died when you left me...I lived for a few weeks while you loved me.
*In a Lonely Place* (1950).
Only good part...Gloria Grahame getting a rubdown from that rather unfeminine gal.

I would have given EVERYTHING...ANYTHING...just to be Tony Martin for a single three-day weekend at home, say around 1955.
I love and lust for and after Cyd Charisse.
She lives!
-
Desire...Cyd Charisse...don't get me started!
-
Thought I'd give the heads-up NOW.
How good is this? Cyd Charisse, Audrey Totter, Richard Basehart, Wm. Conrad.
Director: John Berry

Some people think Douglas Dick portrayed not only Kenneth Lawrence, but also the doomed David Kently (played by Dick Hogan) because you barely see the victim, and the resemblance is there.
I think John Dall was ROBBED of an Oscar nod for this...you couldn't have asked for more from a player.
Arthur Laurents...this was his best work, I feel.
