May Robson's character, Granny, in A Star Is Born.
She was everything one would be lucky to have in a grandparent figure.

Happy centennial birthday to Ms June Allyson, born Oct 7, 1917!

More fun with animation! From Madagascar- I Like To Move It Move It, by Reel 2 Real:

As a kid I saw many of the "classic" horror flicks on just regular movie feature programs. No weird characters hosting or such. Not until I was about 12 then some guy in a fright wig and a white lab coat started up a late night "creature Feature" type show calling himself "MORGUS". He was a riot.
You can still catch "Dr Morgus" on the Coast To Coast late night radio show. He shows up as a guest every now and again- and he's still wacky!

Svengoolie brings back memories for me, as well. For me, though, as a kid from the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970's, it was Bob Wilkins and his "Creature Features" show on Saturday nights.
My parents would go out on Sat nights and leave my sisters and I (all under the age of 12) at home with the TV for a babysitter- boy have times changed!
We sat in front of that TV for the CBS mega-block of All In The Family, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler-Moore Show, Bob Newhart Show, Carol Burnett Show, then we switched over to KTVU for Creature Features. My parents saved a lot in babysitting money, I think!

Wonderful, dreamy scene from La Belle Et La Bete:

The promo for this week's Noir film, Posessed, is quite amusing. Anyone catch it yet?

So no one watched Miss Dove?
I did! I had never seen it before. It was the sentimental fluff that I thought it would be, but I enjoyed it! I thought she was quite good in it.
This film could only have been made at 20 Century Fox, I think.

Those cards are really nice. They're kind of like mini lobby card posters!

Like to know how did he done the SFX of having Christ with the slight glow or aura that stood out in the movie?
I wondered about that, as well. It was very effective.
I've always loved H.B. Warner, too. He always seemed so gentle.

It will be interesting to see Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool when it is released in the USA in December. Apparently, it is about Grahame's later years in life.

Humphrey Bogart's apartment from In A Lonely Place was pretty swanky. I especially liked the courtyard area.

...And I also believe that once watching "classic" movies is proven to not mean being ostracized by the "herd", then more in younger generations will take to looking in.

It seems (to me anyway) that current youth/young adults who are interested in classic film are "usually" the same type who take an interest in all things from a previous time period, such as LP records, classic guitars, first generation video games, etc.
My parents were born during the great depression, and exposed my sisters and I to classic Hollywood films when we were kids during the 1970's. I kind of took it from there; sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night to watch an old film on TV, or scouring through the entertainment sections of the newspapers looking for screenings of classic films, purchasing books about film and it's stars.
I have tried unsuccessfully to pass on the love to my daughter, but (at 29 ) she still laughs and is bored with any film produced before 1970. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, is one of those types I mentioned above, and he is a sponge for classic film.

I always held a little grudge against Yuri Zhivago for cheating on his sweet, docile wife. I didn't have a problem with Lara, though, as the men in her life were not ideal choices, and I felt a bit sorry for her. Also, Tonya said she was a good person.
So, how much of a double-standard answer was that?

Okay. Seein' how this discussion is still goin' on, HERE'S somethin' I'VE always liked to have had a clear and definitive answer to:
Am I wrong to still be wearing white almost a week and half after the Labor Day holiday has come to pass?
(...and if I am, why's that, and who in the hell ever came up with THIS fashion faux pas rule anyway, HUH?!)
I'm dead in the fashion water; my entire work uniform is white!
Here is a not-so-serious explanation of white and Labor day:

That confused me, as well. I started thinking I had missed another dance scene somewhere, so I went to the trusty YouTube to see if I could locate it, but nothing surfaced.
Rita and Anthony Quinn made for a lovely couple in that routine, didn't they?

A wonderful opening film song from Quadrophenia- The Real Me by The Who:

I wonder if it is true that Frankie Laine genuinely thought Blazing Saddles was a traditional western and not a satire? Hmm- great song, though!
