Miss Daisy's house in Driving Miss Daisy. In Druid Hills section of Atlanta GA. Was surfing TV a little while ago and it was on one of the channels. I think that Morgan Freeman should have received an Oscar for his performance. He really nailed it.

I watched that movie once and thought it was strange. The movie, not the house. Of course, this is from Mr. Blandings Build His Dream House. While the above is a classic scene, it should be noted that it is a real house and is in a California state or national forest. Last time I checked, it was used as a headquarters building.

Just noticed this is on at 5:48 PM today. Saw it a while back and it is interesting and one aspect is to consider the change in the Textile and clothing industries in the US since it was made.

Beaver, Sons and Griffin are on some of the Over the Air networks, which are also carried on some cable channels. Beaver and Sons are usually in the morning.

Posted in the wrong thread, so I re-posted where I intended. I think Ann Sheridan in Woman on the Run is a very good example of what Noir can be and how well she can act. This is the one where she wears a bulky raincoat for most of the movie - hiding all the oomph. I looked up Impact and it sounds good. I think I may have seen it years ago.

I recorded it and watched it. One advantage is being able to pause it and zoom in to see just what they did show. On the other hand, I did not think the picture quality was all that good. As for the movie itself, I like Ann Sheridan, but I just couldn't get into this movie. Guess I am one of those who thinks it is not Noir either. To me, it was another run of the mill romantic drama/tragedy. About half-way through I started using the fast forward button.

Saturday, June 08, 10:00 AM, The Falcon In Mexico. This is one of the more entertaining movies in the series.

Mitchum's Farewell My Lovely was excellent movie. By far the best version ever. I wonder if Big Sleep had to be moved to England and done as a current 1978 scenario to get financing or support over there?

Thanks, I'll have to record it Saturday night.

All this talk about The Big Sleep (1978) resulted in my pulling it out and watching it. Actually, it was better this time than when I watched it before. Maybe because I just enjoyed the movie and did not subconsciously try to compare it to Bogart version. Hard to believe that the Candy Clark in Sleep is same one in American Graffiti five years earlier.

You made it political, so it is Off Topic category.

Did you see a DVD or on TV or streaming? I have the DVD, but do not know what of Candy Clark's scenes would have been edited.

Are you saying the Mitchum version of The Big Sleep is closer to the book? I have it on DVD, but haven't watched in quite a while as it did not seem to be as good as the Bogart version. Maybe Bogart's was a better picture, but Mitchum's was closer to the book? On the other hand, I think Mitchum's Farewell My Lovely is the best version of that movie made. Not sure how true it is to the book, but it is an excellent movie. Apologize for not knowing the directors, screenwriters and producers since they really make the movies and I'm too lazy to look it up.

It's all a matter or taste or opinion. Personally I never thought Marilyn or Vivian looked that good. Same with Liz Taylor. It is also very much a question of lighting, make-up and the photographer's skill. Not to mention clothing and hair styles of different periods.

I was a lieutenant in Vietnam in 1971 and borrowed a tape of Woodstock recording from an enlisted man to record. I had two recorders set up on a table in officers "hooch." There were a couple of majors who lived there. When Country Joe and the Fish came on with the "Fish Cheer" song, they both came out and asked if they were hearing correctly. [For those who may not know, the word started with F, but was not Fish.] I told them they were. They didn't say anything, just went back to their rooms.

"Character actors." Also, only people who have not been honored in the past 10 years.

If I recall correctly, Jaffe was married to one of the co-stars, who played a much younger nurse or doctor. Supposedly she had been a Miss South Carolina before going to Hollywood.

I'm going to have to pull out my DVD, but I don't think this is correct. Bogart asks her where is his house when they are driving with the body in the trunk and she replied at the beach. Not back of his club. I think what is confusing is that after she replies, they do not show them going to the house. I do think there is a quick shot of a house on the beach though.

I remember this ad from Playboy! Or maybe it was an item on the new fashion?

Not disagreeing with Elvis' movies being far more popular. But I'm not sure the others made movies because Elvis did it. It was just another entertainment venue to try. Just as some went into TV and tried series, which I don't believe Elvis ever did. Maybe Elvis went into movies because Frank Sinatra did it? Elvis' foray into movies had more to do with the entrepreneurial talents of Tom Parker and his goal of making as much as he could marketing Elvis. But Elvis was far more successful monetarily than any of the others probably could have been.

As I implied, I do not believe anyone said he was "the greatest man on the face of the earth." It's just that most of us appreciate what he says and lend great credence to his commentaries.

Eddie's comments are often the best parts, or at least most informative, for some movies. Although his commentary is excellent and well founded, I doubt anyone believes he is the "greatest man on the face of the earth."

Or how about the Hollywood Non-clothing Hall of Fame? Of course that one get a little tricky.
