I'm saying that in the 44 version the character of Moose, as written and directed, was fairly one-dimensional. In the 70s version, as well as the novel, the Moose character has more dimensions. I'm not saying Mazurki was a one-dimensional actor.
Maybe, but somehow I've always felt a liitle more sorry for Moose and how he ends up when Muzuki played him than I do when O'Halloran played him.

Who wants to pay that much and have neighbors a few feet away from you? No thanks!
True, but this is how it is along the Malibu colony and where the rich can just walk out their back doors and onto the sands of the beach, ya know.
(...and is pretty much also this way along any beach city in L.A. County)

Steve McQueen’s $12 Million Malibu Beach House is Up For Sale
If you’re going to talk “cool,” even today, decades after his untimely death, you have to bring Steve McQueen into the discussion. Lately, McQueen has been popping up more and more as items that once belonged to the actor have been going on sale or have been inspiring new products. In addition to his own sense of style, McQueen also had an impressive real estate portfolio, and one item from that list that is now up for sale is McQueen’s Malibu Beachhouse.

(...I know any car or motorcycle he ever owned will usually go for ten times their normal value when on auction, but I wonder if this house's value might also be heighten a bit too because of its association with him?)

It's Hyman Katz whose only acting credit ever was in this one Bonnaza episode about a time traveling city slicker from the 1960s.
(...actually, yes, I'd say it's David Dortort)

Not a movie. This was in MacGyver.
This one was in Sin City 2005
Thanks for the assist here, Moe. Somehow I didn't run across these cars in the IMDb's car website.
And now for a question about the little custom "blue dot" touch applied to the Sin City Nomad's taillight here. Do you have any idea how those little blue dot inserts became such a phenomenon among gearheads who were/are into cars primarily made during the '50s?
(...'cause I've never been able to figure this out)

Nice lookin' I guess, but ya know here Moe, THE nicest lookin' station wagons of all time were the 1955-57 Chevy Nomads...
(...and btw slayton...sorry, but surprisingly the IMCDB website shows absolutely none of these cars ever being in a movie...kind'a shocking, wouldn't ya say?)

I can agree to this to a degree, but sometimes an archetype ends up being a one-dimensional character and that is something I can't relate to.
So James. Are you saying big Mike Mazurki here was "one-dimensional" as Moose in the '44 version?
(...a bit confused here with the last couple of postings in this baby)

Yeah, it’s all the simple things, the little things, that get you, stick with you, and you can’t quite put your finger on why they get you, they just do. And the most amazing thing of all is they get you over and over again, they never fail to get you, while other things never get you at all.
Yeah Thompson, I really get you here, dude.

There was this one film with Mickey Rooney where Miss Grayson was singing on a stage (near the end of the movie, I believe) and I wanted to muzzle her. That's one movie I shall either not view again or put the volume way down when she starts singing. I've learned my lesson with that one; think it's an 'Andy Hardy' movie but I can't remember offhand. I'd have to go to the IMDb and look it up!
Yep, looking at her IMDb filmography right now, her very first film credit was in 1941's Andy Hardy's Private Secretary.
And re not liking that genre of music...this has reminded me of all the times in the past people on these boards have mentioned their dislike of listening to some of the male actors who also sang in a tenor vocal range in their pictures and such as Dick Powell during the early part of his career, and Dennis Morgan.
But in my case once again, I've never minded listening to either of them at all, and especially have always liked it whenever I see Dennis Morgan break into his Irish tenor singing voice during one of his old movies.
(...and in a way, I've always considered this sort of thing a "lost art", and although the general consenus around here seems to be that this "lost art" is way too "old hat" for their tastes)

I don't recall that particular commercial, probably due to a faulty memory, but there were a lot of mom
and kids ads during that time. I'm sure Alicia is a sweetheart, so I give her a 10 on that score, but a sweetheart
can't really be a superfreak, so I give her a 0 on that, which averages out to a 5, which is impressive for
someone who comes from a land down under.
Here it is...

SAGE WISDOM: The biggest problem with Kathryn Grayson musicals is that she sings 🎙️ in them.
So, I take it you're not a big fan coloratura sopranos, eh Mr. G?! Or, might it be that you just don't think she sings all that well?
(...in my case, I have to admit that Miss Grayson sometimes impresses me with her singing voice, and even though in most cases I'll take listening to almost any popular music songstress who can carry a tune over her operatic one)

Ah yes, THERE'S that bright, beautiful and sexy (and slightly crooked) little smile of Alicia's!

I have found a photo giving it justice,Brent was also very good in the film,on the original poster Brent has no mustache while he has one in the film! She was a great glamour queen and very tall you can throw a hat and it would stick anywhere with her...
Wait! Are we sure this isn't Don Ameche?
Or maybe even Xavier Cugat???
Well, it certainly ISN'T Brian Aherne here, anyway!

1950 Hudson Pacemaker in Variety Lights
Thanks for posting this, Sukhov! Have always liked Hudsons, and so of course always thought that when Disney included a cartoon version of one voiced by Paul Newman in their Cars movie, that that was especially cool.
(...btw, and another reason I thank you here for posting this was that I was previously unaware that Hudson even made this Pacemaker model, and so after checking out this model's existence on the internet, I found it was a shorten version of their better known Hornet model which actually redated the Hornet by a year, and so I've learned something today)

Soooo, like I WAS sayin' here about lovely Alicia's sexy little crooked smile...

Most of these Islamic fundis don't like modern music, so I doubt the Taliban would have much to
do with Rick James or George Clinton. Well, that's their loss. Maybe someone, I won't mention any
names, should look into Alicia's superfreakiness or lack thereof, or iow is she or is she not the kind
of girl one wouldn't bring home to mother.
Oh, I would think most mothers would like Alicia.
She's always come across to me as the nice wholesome sort, and mother do tend to like that sort, ya know.
"Mothers are like that...yeah, they are!"

She looks fantastic on the George Segal SUTS deal tonight.
I've got Virginia Wolf DVR'd, I'll be watching that after a couple more beverages. Got to get in the mood.
Right now, Fun With Dick and Jane is on. Alway's liked Jane Fonda in this one. The scene where they rob Tower Records on Sunset. Used to buy LPs and cassettes there.
Earlier King Rat was on.
Funny, but the other day while reading fellow board member Leighcat's story about the interaction they once had with Ben Mankiewicz at the music and video store they said they once worked at and which was about to close its doors for good at the time, if this might have been at the Tower Records shown in this film.

Although both the following films deal with the subject of crime (well, with a title like "Quicksand", you sure wouldn't expect them to be comedies, now would ya?!) their storylines couldn't be more different:
.jpg)
...is a 1950 film noir set in L.A. that stars Mickey Rooney as a garage machanic who descends into a life of crime.
...is a 2003 neo-noir set in various international locations that stars Michael Keaton as a NYC-based bank fraud investgator first sent to Monaco to check up on the suspicious financial dealings of a movie production. However, as he delves deeper into the case, he soon finds himself being framed for murder and money laundering by the Russian Mob.

I love that song. Super freaky. No, I don't think they have ripped off Rick James, at least I hope
not. And the Taliban is not the kind of group you read about in new wave magazines.
Uh-huh, and thus perhaps offering up a good argument that there might be SOME religious fanatics/anti-modernists/regressive SOBs in this world that have at least ONE positive or redeeming trait to their character.
(...but like I was sayin' about Alicia here...hint, hint...again...)

And now it's Hammer time in old Afghanistan.
Yeah, and besides, at least the Taliban has never ripped off a song by Rick James, right?!

Wait till your wife finds out you've given Malone free reign to convert it to right hand drive and gets it on alternating weekends.
**. . do Aussies have right hand drive? No matter! What Alicia wants, Alicia gets!
. . . . unless it's looking svelte in god awful blue polyester slacks.
And yes, Aussies do drive on the wrong side of the road and not the right (and as in both the definition of the word "correct" and in the context of "direction") side of the road as we good red-blooded Americans and most all of the countries of the world do.
