I once met Cassandra. An old roommate of mine while living in a beach apartment in SoCal was dating her for a short while. Very nice and out-going lady. (...she's actually a redhead, ya know)

Actually Andy, and while it's been a while since I've watched the remake, I recall it being "not bad", and not SO bad as to be unintentionally funny or awful. (...now if maybe Ronnie would have sported an angora sweater in it, THEN you'd be talkin' here!)

Eeh! I knew Oscar before he was a chain-smoking raconteur!

Both pretty good suggestions finance, though I'll add "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman" onto the list here, though I'm also thinking Andy's suggestion of "The Killers" is a pretty good one too. (...and speaking of "The Killers" and "remakes", what do you folks think of the 1964 remake co-starring a certain future POTUS in his big screen swan song?...my opinion: Angie Dickinson couldn't hold a candle to Ava, AND in fact, Ronnie is a poor substitute for Albert Dekker)

Here's Max and Dave Fleischer's character Bimbo the Dog(yeah, THAT'S right, "Bimbo") in one weird and surreal cartoon about the afterlife, made in 1930... (...ya gotta love the Jazz score too!)

(...moved this to the "Halloween/Horror" thread...)

Now c'mon. Multi! Even at THIS late stage of your life you can't see Mac and Tosh as the cartoon version of Edward Everett Horton AND maybe Franklin Pangborn???!!! (...dude...you've GOT to get out more!!!) LOL

Well Speedy, I'll tell ya...IF you like watchin' tap dancing with the guy doin' it lookin' like he's a marionette on strings, you're gonna LOVE "Yankee Doodle Dandy"!!! (...okay, okay, I'm kiddin' little Jimmy's dancing here, BUT I gotta admit he IS pretty good in this flick overall!)

Ya know Multi, for some reason, I always preferred the Warner Brothers' "gay" version of Chip and Dale...Mac and Tosh! "After you!" -"Oh, no no no, I wouldn't THINK of it. After YOU!" LOL

Yeah, I KNOW what ya mean, alright! (...and the very reason I'll even watch some of Ava Gardner's lesser films!)

LOL (...and now it's MY turn to say, "good point", hep!)

Lemme guess here, Speedy. THIS is 'cause you think the Disney version ALSO stars..ahem.."a real fox" too, RIGHT?! (...get IT?!)

Thanks, hep! Yep, I would guess that almost any woman would probably "accept" being hit on by THIS guy even in his "later years"... ..over THIS guy... ...and even in the latter's younger days!!! (...what say you ladies???...I'm right, ain't I?!...in OTHER words, FACE it...YOU can sometimes be as "shallow" as us GUYS are!!!) LOL

And Speedy, let us not forget the reason many a silent movie was remade later in the '30s and beyond, and the reason why many '30s and '40s B&W movies were remade later in vivid Technicolor... Advancements in technology and the idea to film a story which had been known to have earlier caught the imagination of the public and by means of this newer technology. I'm thinking the almost shot-for-shot 1952 Technicolor remake of THE PRISONER OF ZENDA might be a great example of such. And in my opinion the remake is almost as good as the '37 original and is in no manner any sort of "embarrassment" at all.

Okay, I have to ask here... Could it more the case that with Edward Arnold never being "the most handsome guy in the world" that THIS might have some major bearing on this issue? Ya see, and speaking of Cary Grant, I have to wonder if HE had played a character similar to this in his later years and where HE attempted to woo the daughter of the women he was once in love with, IF perhaps THIS would still elicit the same amount of "ecks"? 'Cause as I recall, it sure as heck was "acceptable" for Cary to woo a heck of a lot of women in films later in his career and who were half HIS age at the time. (...food for thought, perhaps?)

Yeah yeah, say what ya want about this film's often shown status and/or David Lean's penchant for big overblown spectacle later in his career, but personally I can NEVER get enough of the opening scene where O'Toole mounts that absolutely gorgeous (and now days a make and model highly sought after) Brough(pronounced "Bruff" btw) Superior SS100 motorcycle and rides away on it. (...known as "The Rolls-Royce of Motorbikes" back then, btw)

Aah! Then I'll bet this old SCTV segment grabbed your attention too, eh dark?!

Did you happen to catch the episode they showed a week or so ago that featured both big ol' Leo Gordon as a vigilante wannabe cop and also his real life wife of 50 years Lynn Cartwright who played a con woman in the same episode? (...boy did Lynn look good there...she was always my favorite "Venusian" woman in "Queen of Outer Space", ya know)

You mean, "HEEELP Larrrry", Dick...err..I mean Tom! (...and yeah, that was definitely the great Mel Blanc doin' his voice)

Yep, Powell's role in "Life with Father" was exactly who I was thinkin' of here too, ND. (...even the period clothes are pretty much the same)

Aah! Now THAT reminds ME of the time I WAS workin' the room in the Catskills and when I broke into my song, "Tijuana Dance Under The Moonlight"! (...yeah, it went over about as well as you'd think...tough crowd that night...word was the kitchen had run out of borscht and gefilte fish, and OY, you'd think somebody had just slapped their mothers or somethin'!)

Yeah...ALMOST as sappy as that "Tabanga" thing! (...which I MIGHT add, NOBODY ever answered my question about if that thing hailed from "Tabanga Canyon"...let alone WHICH side of "Tabanga Canyon"!!!)

Too bad Margaret Hamilton isn't around anymore to answer this question, huh!

So dark, was that during the time you were doin' your act in the Catskills???

Yeah, I'd say that IS one of the more clever WB cartoons that didn't use any of the boys at Termite Terrace's stock "repertoire of players", Kay. But tell me, is it only me or does "Dan Backslide" there bare JUST a little resemblance to William Powell???
