Can't say. But according to IMDB, he did write the score for it.

Now it's not doing it anymore. Even in the intro to Le Grand Amour, there weren't any horizontal lines, just in that film. Can't explain it. Anyway, all's well again. I agreee with other posters about Ètaix's films. They are enjoyable to watch, with some really funny moments. I have to say I still like Jacques Tati better. Maybe that's because I've been familiar with his work longer.

It might. And I might congratulate you, like this: Hooray, you got him!

Threads rarely go where you think they will, or where you want them to. The smallest offhand comment will be picked up on by a poster, and off it goes.

His music appears in many movies, but he wrote scores for, among others, Of Mice and Men, The Red Pony, and The Heiress.

Right jamesjazz! OK, my last gimmie for now:

Whenever the camera moves quickly or one of the objects moves quickly in tonight's Le Grand Amour, the image gets sliced by dozens of horizontal lines. Is anyone else seeing this? It's terribly distracting.

Serious lady.

That's her! Thought that would be a toughie. Wrong. How about?:

Who's this beauty?:

>FBT: >Why isn't Jerry Goldsmith in there? I thought I was clear in my post, intending to bring attention to composers who were as good as Herrmann, but didn't work in American films (after all, Americans aren't the only ones who wrote great music for film), and composers who wrote scores, but whose main work was elsewhere. Though Herrmann was the best composer of film scores, Prokofiev, Shostakovitch, Copland, and Bernstein (Leonard) wrote music that was more important.

Jeff Corey.

Mary Boland.

Greatest composer for Hollywood movies? This discussion ignores: Maurice Jarre Ennio Morricone Nino Rota And composers who have written film scores: Aaron Copland Sergei Prokofiev Dmitri Shostakovitch But for a pure soundtrack composer, yes, I would say Herrmann is the best.

This story has a strong apocryphal feel to it. Instead of the photo being evidence of an occurence, it seems the story was created to explain the photo. Watching the opening scenes of Treasure, it can be seen that none of the principal cast appears in the location shots. They only appear in sets and projection shots. The Dobbs character appears in the location shots only from behind, and is not Humphrey Bogart. The photo seems to be something somebody snapped of Miss Sheridan dropping in on a set one day to visit.

If you mean this: Looks like it's a great dane.

Well, the Roku thing. First, let me say I connect my TV to my digital box with a component cable, not hdmi. For me, hdmi black and white is more contrasty, with the blacks and whites exaggerated. It lacks much of the subtle gradations and tones I get with component. Hdmi colors are garish and corrosive, even bleeding at the edges. I've tried many times with both cheap and expensive cables, but the result is always the same. Let me say also I have a LG LCD, so I don't think the TV is the source of the difference. So, on to Roku. I bought the 2XD, which only connects wirelessly to the internet. It connects to the TV only with a supplied combination cable (red and white for sound, and yellow for video), or by hdmi (not supplied). I also bought a good ($50 ±) hdmi cable, just to try once more. It was easy to create an account on the Roku site, register my player, and choose channels, even the TimeWarner channel, which has everything I have now on my expanded digital package. With the supplied cable, the picture was fine, but the sound was terrible. With a hdmi cable, the sound was ok, but the picture was just the same as I get with my cable box and TV. I returned both. I haven't given up, though. I'm going to try the LT, to see if more primitive technology will work better. I know it only plays 720p, but we'll see. Now that I think of it, I'm also going to try converters to feed the Roku output to component inputs on my TV.

On METV, just watched an episode of Route 66. The cast: Ethel Waters Juano Hernandez Frederick O'Neal And these legendary jazz players: Roy Eldrige, on trumpet Jo Jones, on drums, and Coleman Hawkins!, playing clarinet (And they play in the show, too.) It's worth trolling the old shows on this, Antenna and COZI TV.

Can you say what it is in the movie that appeals to you?

Looking forward to it.

Never heard of them. Can you describe them?

Do you have short plot descriptions?

Yes, it's Ed Bishop. So congrats to you, scsu1975! Most people who know him will probably remember him from his starring role in UFO, a British series about alien invaders from outer space (original concept, that).

Does that lead you to the face? He was better known for his work other science fiction.
