Monday, June 15 It’s going to be a busy day for me. I have six titles to record. 6:30 a.m. Easy Living (1949) with my favourite, Victor Mature. And I know we have a few Lucille Ball fans here too. 8 a.m. The Last Hunt (1956). Sounds like an interesting Richard Brooks cinemascope film. Debra Paget is in it too. Wonder if she does a snake dance? 10 a.m. The Double Man (1967). A Franklin J. Schaffner Yul Brynner spy film that I haven’t seen yet. noon. Of Human Bondage (1964). Naw. Sounds too kinky. I think I’ll skip this one. 4:15 p.m One Way Pendulum (1964). The combination of Peter Yates, Eric Sykes and George Cole has me intrigued. 11:45 p.m. That Night In Rio (1941). I can’t resist the 1940’s Hollywood forays into South America. Exotic studio hokum. 3:30 a.m. So Goes My Love (1946). The description sounds like a recipe for disaster but it is a Myrna Loy film that I have yet to see and I’m putting together a string of her films for a future mini-fest.

This sounds like the new way of ensuring brand loyalty. The DVR is worth its weight in gold.

Report (1965) Bruce Conner's 13 minute found footage documentary on the Kennedy assassination.

The Chicken Award? Who presented it? Colonel Sanders?

Richard Attenborough's Entirely Up to You Darling is an easy fun read. As you would expect from the lovely man it is full of pleasant stories about people he has worked with. It's title is derived from Attenborough's habit of using that line in response to suggestions from his talent as to how to play a scene. Sometimes it might be interpreted as 'yes, go for it' and at other times it was a polite way of saying 'all right, but I wouldn't."

You know if it were Tor doing the searching it might be something like this ... Babette's Feast La Grand Bouffe Big Night Delicatessen and Eating Raoul

I don't think that is available in Canada. Look out, I'm applying for my green card.

Bedazzled (1967) and The Wrong Box (1966) Two wonderful Peter Cook & Dudley Moore films. British humour (with a 'U') at its best.

Almost looks life Ben Johnson in that pix.

For a Few Dollars More the Merrier. Jean Arthur shares the trail with two bounty hunters in this light romantic, love triangle comedy with liberal does of spaghetti violence.

And try sounding like that cockney, Dick van Dyke!

I'll bow to that. Joanne Woodward is pretty good in a supporting role in this one too.

Daniel Auteuil is a very good actor. I've seen bout a dozen of his films. For me the standouts are Manon of the Spring and Jean de Florette from 1986 and The Eighth Day (1996).

And one heck of a sex scene I'd say.

I'd love to read that interview. Years ago, when in some 'hold your breath' moments I would say to friends "Pray For the Wildcats" and they would wonder what the heck I was on about.

It was a curiosity call, I'm sure.

I wouldn't mind seeing The Challenge (1970) again. It starred Darren McGavin and Mako in a sort of Hell In the Pacific knockoff. It is directed by Allan Smithee though which is not a particularly good sign,

I'd offer Mickey Rooney as somewhat of an ever-ready bunny who reinvented himself several times over. From very young child actor to a huge teenage star in comedies, musicals and light family dramas to serious dramatic roles later in life. The Bold and the Brave, Requiem For a Heavyweight and The Black Stallion are a few that come to mind. Plus he was already a senior when he went back to the stage and performed on broadway.

Henry Fonda starred in Mr. Roberts on Broadway though I don't know if he originated the part. I wonder what Fonda would have been like on the stage?

I was very surprised to see this on the Canadian schedule as well. Very often we don't get the premieres from the more modern age.

So soon. We've only had the results of one single day's search for crying out loud. What about tomorrow's permutation and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that? I mean Tor Be Or Not Tor Be could drop to search number four for pity's sake. Think of the discussion then! This thread could be on page one for goodness knows how long.

Good candidate for Star of the Month for OcTORber, I should think.

I just wanted to thank everyone as this thread as almost hit 349 replies which is somewhat of a milestone. Right up there with seeing little Bogie take his first steps.

I think this is on any given day, Rey. So this may be yesterday's list. So there may be a slightly different permutation of the top ten to look forward to each and every day.

I just put a hold on Rouben Mamoulian's The Gay Desperado dvd at my library. It is listed online as being in the gay and lesbian section.
