I have been introduced to this song/spoken/folk: I understand all of the cultural referents which I recognize as such but I wonder how many I am missing.

His movies which are liked so much that we have them in our collection are: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) British Agent (1934) Captain Blood (1935) The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) Doctor X (1932) Female (1933) Four's A Crowd (1938) The Kennel Murder Case (1933) The Key (1934) The Lady Takes A Sailor (1949) The Man In The Net (1959) The Mystery Of The Wax Museum (1933) Trouble Along the Way (1953) The Unsuspected (1947) The Walking Dead (1936)

I have heard it said that if you remember the 60s you were not doing it right.

I would like to live in Cathy's house as shown in *Admiral Ushakov* (1953). I do not know if they filmed in the true house or if they recreated it on a soundstage. I like very much the idea of doors so tall that their handles are nearly as high as your shoulder. It is sad to say the true house has been converted for public use and it would not be possible to but it or to live there. Edited by: SansFin on Oct 5, 2012 9:48 PM

I have been told that some men feel the most horrifying modern woman in film is Anita Liberty. The short movie can be seen on YouTube: I must note there is coarse language. It is psychological horror which delves into a man's primal fear of what a woman might do. She states in the opening that her boyfriend has left her and: "to get even, I have devoted my entire career to humiliating him in public." It is nearly as frightful to men as the thought of what it might be like if a Lorena Bobbit-type could not find a knife and had to use a potato peeler.

I must wonder if the William J. Oliver and Grey Owl collaboration of *Strange Doings in Beaverland* (1930) was a remake of *Beaver People* (1930) or if it was the other way.

> {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote:}{quote} > Maybe this will help. > http://www.myvideostore.com/content/movies/year.html?client=&year=1930 The site shows 20% more movies for 1931 and 40% more for 1932. That indicates that movies worthy of note were thin on the ground in 1930.

You will think me shallow that my choice is modern. It is Nobuko Otowa's performance as Yone in *The Black Cat* (1968). I believe it is because she has many sides which she shows well. She is a loving mother. She is proper and reserved during traditional ceremonies. She is a dutiful mother-in-law. She is a sublime man-killing ghost.

The opening credits are at: It was created by Mel Brooks. All of the names of the actors are strange to me.

There was a definite downturn at that time. Our personal collection has nineteen movies from 1929, nine movies from 1930, twenty-seven movies from 1931 and forty-two movies from 1932.

Having a simple name does not insure freedom from mistakes. A man with the last name of Paper complained that many people insisted on putting an "i" in it and it was worse that some made it Papier and others made it Paiper. I know of a Michael who often sees people spell his name as Micheal. Why would any family with the name: Case name their son: Justin? I met a couple with the last name of: Virgin. They named their daughter: Vestal. They said they wished it to be hard to Google her name because one would have to sift through many pages of historical content to find her unless she became so famous that she became a popular search term.

There are characterized dolls in formal attire seated at a dining table in *The Last of Mrs. Cheyney* (1937). Robert Montgomery as Lord Dilling pays approx. twenty Pounds for the doll of Joan Crawford as Fay Cheyney. My first thought when I saw *Thunder Birds* (1942) starring Gene Tierney in the schedule was that she would be a marionette in a tiny rocket ship ala' *Thunderbirds Are Go* (1966). I believe I could not enjoy watching the movie while I have that image in my mind.

My favorite modern short movie is *Burn-E* (2008). It is set in the world of *Wall-E* (2008) and shows the work and frustrations of an other robot. It can be seen at: http://youtu.be/19jX60tL_QI

*Les Diaboliques* (1955) is a wonderful movie! I rank it highly in my list of favorite movies.

The problem may be with the recording speed. The movies we record one to a DVD with a two-hour recording time are crisp and clear on our HDTVs. The movies we record with several on one DVD with a four or six-hour recording time are fuzzy. We have one DVD of many movies with a twelve-hour recording time and the best that can be said of it is that the audio is good.

My favorite short movie is: *The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics* (1965): http://youtu.be/OmSbdvzbOzY Capuchin's favorite short movie is: *Anita Liberty* (1997). It is available on YouTube but I must warn of some bad language:

TCM has recently shown many wonderful movies in their tributes to Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune. I feel they have also greatly improved their selections for TCM Imports recently and they have brought us many gems.. If I had to chose my favorite foreign movie airing in this past year it will have to be *Un homme et une femme* (1966).

I have an embarrassment of riches as much more than one hundred hours of movies were recorded for me while I was away. This month has also many evenings and nights filled with movies I wish to watch. It is on evenings such as this that I am paring down the list as I do not like the vast majority of Spencer Tracy movies.

I will endeavor to find specific information on formatting for you if you will post the brand and model of DVD recorder you possess.
