  1. Indeed. One for the Money, alternate title Sam's Song (not to be confused with the song with that title that has been recorded by most of the Ratpackers)

     

    The excellent documentary *Sam Peckinpa's West: Legacy of a Hollywood Renegade* can be seen ever so often on various Cable channels. It is also found on Disc # 2 of the DVD issue of *The Wild Bunch.* It's quite a good history of Sam's career.

     

    Sixes' thread.

  2. VARIATION ON A THEME.

     

    I can't get a word in edgewise on that thread about identify a song and name the movie. This scrap of lyrics is from a documentary dedicated to the career of a respected but controversial director. The narrator of the piece, also a composer, singer and actor, sang this at the end of the program.

     

    ♫I see you blink as you're caught in the spotlight.

    I see the sweat-streaks of pain on your face,

    Caught like a clown in a circle of strangers...

    Who do you screw to get out of this place? ♫

     

    ♫It's one for the money,

    Too far to go,

    Three fingers of whiskey...

    Good for the soul... ♫

     

    Narrator/singer? Subject of the doc?

  3. Why is everybody ignoring this thread.?

    The second speaker is Groucho in *A Day at the Races* (1937

  4. Thanks, Sixes. Next up:

     

    A computer is called a "mechanical brain", and it takes up most of a wall when you install one. Salesman sets it up to show researchers how to quickly track down information on a subject. As predicted by the head researcher, the brain starts putting out a copy of a review of a movie on that subject.

     

    Film?

  5.  

    Some 312 Views. Persistance pays off. Early Jane Russell, non-musical, not a comedy. For me, one of the giggles: Robert J. Wilke got killed (knifed), but by a supporting player of approximately his rank and status. He usually got snuffed by a major star.

     

    lavender's thread.
