...and the train robbery sequence.
Ya GOTS ta love the train robbery sequence TOO, don'ts YA?!
(...at least that was the only part of this movie I remember liking when as a 10 y/o kid back in '62 our family watched this movie at the Cinerama Dome on Sunset Blvd, anyway)

(...I especially loved Bill's classic Shatner-esque line reading of: 'What IS....that?")

Excellent points all there Mark, however you'll have to forgive our new young friend here because they have come of age decades after the concept that character actors and the parts written for them contributed so much to the storyline of a film somehow became "obsolete".
(...though I know you really knew this, I just wanted to lament this fact here)
-
Very true.
-
Yes, and a point which he should have made. However, by that one(in my opinion over-)statement, I definitely got the idea that Mr. Cousins has a more Eurocentric mindset in this regard, and of which while I disagree with that statement of his, did not lessen my enjoyment of the first part of his film.
-
OH yeah! Good eye there, ncff.
-
I also found this a fascinating glimpse into the early history of cinema, and now am looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
The only thing I question is Mr. Cousins' assertion early on that Hollywood films and their frequent bent toward sentimentality, i.e. Romantic storylines and using the film "Casablanca" as an example to press his point, somehow disqualifies these films as "Classics".
-
And here I would've bet that your thread was gonna be about a certain '50s Sci-Fi flick about giant ants...but you just misspelled it.
(...or you're Irish and spelled it phonetically)
-
YEAH! That's not a bad lookalike at ALL there, ham!
(...a little nose putty on Pauly there and he'd be a PERFECT match, I'd say!)
-
SURE he has, Char!
(...he was just lookin' for "amor" in all the wrong places, THAT'S all!)
-
True ham. So I guess at least he have to give the guy credit enough to know that what he was sending pictures of was MUCH less ugly that that FACE o' his anyway, RIGHT???!!!
-
>But love can also make an ugly man handsome.
Even THIS guy???

Couldn't agree more, Jef.
I only caught the last 45 minutes of "Le Harve" this afternoon, but just from that it seemed like a pretty darn good film, and I was sorry I didn't catch the whole thing.
-
Btw, I remember exactly where I was when I first watched this film.
Every other Summer my parents would rent a cabin in Bass Lake, CA, a little resort just south of Yosemite N.P., and where some of the scenes in "Let Her to Heaven" were filmed.
It was the Summer of '61 in this case, and one evening they had decided to go see "Psycho" at the little rustic theater located at this resort. Always being up for a movie, this then 9 y/o talked Mom and Dad into letting me go see it with them.
(...and I remember afterward I didn't sleep a wink that night in my little room of that cabin)
-
Yeah, or maybe the local Alpha Beta near the Universal set had run short of Hershey's Syrup the day the prop man went to get his supplies.
My thought would actually be that because this scene being the "granddaddy of gore scenes" which would inspire the gore fests later to come by other directors and which now go WAY over the top with the blood, that Hitch probably thought the amount already sufficient to make his point to the audiences not yet accustomed to such gore in the early '60s.
-
I think Gertie there looks more like Eve Arden than anyone else, Nora.
-
Eeh! That "Hugo" flick was made just a couple years ago, wasn't it MissW?
(...so then how good could it BE, huh?!)
LOL
-
I always thought "Psycho" a very interesting little break from what Hitch's Hollywood "momentum" seemed to be. I mean by this that it seemed once he got to Tinseltown, his movies became "bigger", such as larger and larger casts featuring the top A-listers of the time, and production values as great as money could buy.
"Psycho", being a pet project of Hitch's and financed by him, was while being a more intimate little film, still featured many of the Master of Suspense's masterly touches, and in a way might be considered a return to his early English roots when his budgets were much meager than his Hollywood years.
And while the shower scene is now as closely identified with his work as any, I also thought the violence shown in it(and yes, I know you never actually see the knife touch flesh) was a step away from how he had mostly only implied violence in most all of his previous films.
-
Yes selima, but
,aren't they?
(...well, except for the Milky Way of course...'cause were in it)
-
> sometimes people on here act like a bunch of angry brainwashed sheep.
C'mon now, ccf! We're not all THAT baaaaaaaaaaaad around here, now are WE?!
-
So it's NOT the French flick about that rabbit friend of Elwood P. Dowd's then ya say, huh?!
(...okay, never mind then...that was just a "guess" anyway, ya know)
-
Hmmmm..."LE HARVE" ya say, Twink?!
Wasn't that the French version of that movie about a 6 foot invisible rabbit or somethin'???
-
>I would assume most people would know its pronounced with a nasal vowel, being French.
Well, like I said in response down there to the newbie...at least Ben always gets the "nasally" part down correctly then, RIGHT?!
(...even when he's NOT speakin' French!)
-
You mean the 30 pounds or so of Alec that's now missing since that picture was taken and since he's sworn off sugar and carbs???

Oh, I don't know, finance. It's seems to me some very interesting and notable songs have been written about our Pinniped friends over the years.
