  1. Do you have an alarm bell that alerts you to new thread posts? How do you get 'em so quick? Yes, it's Mr. Morris.
  2. Watched it as a child. I don't remember whether I liked it or not. All I remember is the Frenchmen making fun of Gert Frobe and the Germans. It spawned a wretched squel, whose name I will not mention.
  3. The more you watch classic movies, the more you will realize the characters are stock roles: the flawed boxer hero, with ups and downs in his career; the low-key girlfriend/wife, loyal, stay-at-home; the corrupitng influencers, be they promoters, bookmakers, or evil women; the rough, tough, grizzled veteran of a trainer with a heart of gold. Stallone didn't have to use any one movie or role, just tap into the well-trod paths of movie storytelling.
  4. Huh? What's going on here? OK, let me spell it out clearly. The photo was of Bibi Andersson. She was a prtotogé of Ingmar Bergman, and starred in many of his films. She has nothing to do with the I Am Curious films, which Kid-Dabb thought I was referring to, but I wasn't. I thought KD was being coy and referring to the colors of the Swedish flag (are there any other European nations with blue and yellow as their colors?) twinkee, you got it right, and you are the only one who did, kudos.
  5. >Kid-Dabb: >I recognize her from The Good Life BBC series. I knew the series as Good Neighbors. I suppose if I were an evil person, I would have used a pic of Penelope Keith, but then you would have recognized her, too.
  6. >Kid-Dabb: >Flag colors..? I'll have you know those are from the titles of two of those Swedish films you alluded to Ahem: Yellow? Blue? What films?
  7. (Snork!) Huh, wha? Oh excuse me, dorpped off there. Yeah, that's her. The Kid was too coy, playing around with flag colors to get the credit.
  8. She's European. If I tell you the country she's from, youll almost instantly guess her. She was used a lot by a famous director of the country she's from, in fact, he gave her her start. Now you know her.
  9. I find that emptying the browser's cache and and cookies can speed things up.
  10. That's the kindest, most decent and generous response I've ever gotten to a post I made. You are right.
  11. I can't tell, did anyone have a guess at the pic I posted?
