Would those be the Gods of Political Correctness in favor of racially stereotyped depictions, or the Gods of Political Correctness against racially stereotyped depictions?

The difference being that, notwithstanding the aping, his characters were intellegent, capable, and in the case of Teahouse, got the better of the whites, not shufflin' shuck-and-jive homeboys.

Until that day when someone comes along and gives me money for nothing, I'll have to keep working. As for the identity of the lady, I'll have to leave that to you.
Is this who I think she is?:

Nnnnn. . . . thought so.
Now don't say she's too easy:

You get a point! It is indeed Ned Sparks.

I wasn't clear enough. I meant the actor smoking the cigar. He was a prominent character actor known for his laconic and acerbic comments on the action of the movie. Oh, I think I've said too much.

Many films have what is called Descriptive Audio Service. It's like closed captions, and is an optional feature. You can turn it off, but I don't know how to tell you, not knowing even how to turn it on, myself.

I think it happened in the first season of the show. It was the cliffhanger for the season, and people were left wondering all summer (yes, there were real seasons back then) what the hell would happen to the poor guy.

Looking forward to a month of heist movies. A lot of 'em we've seen, but there are some new ones to look forward to. The best is Bob le Flambeur, by Melville (a director whose work I'd like to see more of). Next to Wages of Fear, it's the best of the noir-emulations by the French. Like all great heist movies, the heist is the least important part.
I'm also looking forward to How to Steal a Million, just to see what it's like, what the chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole is like, and what my favorite American director, William Wyler can do with a comedy heist movie.
There's also the Italian Job, but, you know, I don't like it so much. The ending's good (We are the self preservation society. . . ).
One can always complain. Missing are Duffy, The Killing, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Lady Killers (but TCM has shown the last two a lot).

But. . . .but. . . .don't you discover the identity from a vast knowlege of film and familliarity with the varying looks of the performers? No wonder I get so few of the pics!

You know, even they aren't great movies, I like either the one that's one tonight, 'Til We Meet Again, or its earlier incarnation, One Way Passage.

Norma Shearer a can of worms? Well.

Then you will have to look for magic in different ways.

If you glance down at previous threads in this forum, you will see the artist and song identified. I'm too lazy to look.

Funny. It looked like it was an Indian movie.
