When I left the Luddite organization, I joined the Adamites. You can find them pictured in that Hieronymous Bosch triptych painting all around the center wading pool.

That's a pretty good list, and I've seen every one of those classics except maybe that one about Abraham Lincoln, unless I know it by another name. "Tolable David" would be my favorite since I love Richard Barthelmess. Photoplay also was a great movie fan magazine. Thanks for posting, Mr. Fugitive!

I love Anjanette, Miss Wonderly. Always thought she was so pretty and different than other actresses. Wasn't she in "The Loved One"? Oops, just so you don't think I am hallucinating. I was reading your answer and your post flipped down and I did not see when I first posted, that of course you had written that she was Aimee in "The Loved One". Mea culpa, and thanks for the info, Miss W!

I can't recall ever seeing an interview with Gable. Shoot, he didn't even want to talk at the premiere of GWTW. Didn't he say something like "This is Margaret Mitchell's night." Good way to get out of talking I guess.

Let's see some of that "stirring" asap!

I'm hoping one of them is Hedy Lamarr. She led quite the exciting life and I should know since I read her autobiography. I look forward to your coming "spotlights", TB!

I used to be a Luddite, Limey but I strayed.

I keep reading here daily about stars who have gone on to that great drive-in in the sky [or maybe way down below the sky] but what I'd rather read is who is still with us. What stars of any type of entertainment style are alive and well, particularly if they are over perhaps let's say maybe eight decades old? I think Chuck Berry and Little Richard and Fats Domino are still kicking and Betty White, Debbie Reynolds and my pal, Jerry. Name anyone you can think of that is still around and keep my spirits up, knowing that I will not be reduced to watching Kardashian crapola for entertainment for the rest of the year.

I've always thought Oliver Reed looks like the beat up version of Tony Curtis. I also think that Caitlyn Jenner looks like Karen Carpenter.

As to your question about what does a "female intellectual see when she is viewing a nude man", I would guess that type woman would need to know first, is this a good looking man or otherwise, Limey? Maybe you should ask Sister Rose? "

"Hobson's Choice" is such a great movie and not as famous as his other stuff. Thanks, TB!

Good to know. You notice I did not call you st_d.

I'm telling you; they are dropping like flies. Everyday another entertainer dies. I'm kind of getting depressed. Soon no one will be left. Sorry to hear about Shandling.

You are so welcome. Hoser! P.S. I hope that is not an obscene Canadian term! I learned it from Bob and the other MacKensie brother. What was his name?

How could anyplace that has Dargo as a visitor be boring??? This is like having Rickles over for a party and saying that the laughs are over.

I see no reason to condemn a photo of a guy who looks like a 12-year old in his undies!

GPF, this conversation is starting to remind me of the New Yorker magazine bit about what constitutes a male intellectual. And the answer was, that he is one who looks at a picture of a nude woman and sees a rose.

I love Larry, but Shemp and Moe and Curly not so much. Just kidding!

Ya know, it's funny, GPF that Hays is seen as being so much a straight laced censor, when the truth was that a lot of his moves were controlled by Adolph Zukor, and he actually wanted to let Fatty Arbuckle back in the fold after being acquitted from the rape charges and death of Virginia Rappe, but Zukor and people like Marcus Loew and other studio heads forced Hays to ban Arbuckle, in order to save their industry from being regulated or censored by government agencies. I know Hays is looked at as the problem, but don't you think he was a bit of a pawn for Famous Players/Lasky studios and others? P.S. My intent about defining "explicit nudity" was that nudity is nudity, so why is the word "explicit" needed? For some reason to me, the word "nude" sounds much more salacious than "naked". What do you think?

What might you have suggested be more proper viewing for the TCM audience, Paul?

No "mystery" for me about any of these movies, since I've seen them all, and it is up for conjecture if they really contain what might constitute scenes that are so objectionable to world morality, in portraying storylines that are a bit more earthy in tone, than one about Our Lady of Fatima or Joan of Arc. I would ask that the term "explicit nudity" be defined, since it does not seem so out of place in any bedroom scene.

Speaking of "red" on transportation items, I had a red Schwinn with multi-colored handlebar streamers, Dargo! Sorry I am not in your or Stephan's league.

I don't have Ringo's favorite recipe for fish and chips, Dargo but I do have the Presley family cookbook that I bought at Graceland and it was signed by the uncle of Elvis, Vester Presley. You haven't lived till you've tried the fried banana and peanut butter sandwich recipe!

Don't get your hopes up, FL because in past sessions Sister Rose has only had the epilogues and prologues on like the first three or so movies and did not comment on ones that followed. Trust me, I stayed up till 4am I think that one night to hear her remarks on "Untamed Youth" and she was not on. She was probably scared to watch Mamie Van Doren cavorting, and I doubt that Sister would even know about her affair with baseball player, Bo Belinsky!

I think Mr. Sheldrake is so abominable and seeing Edie Adams do him in always makes my day, which is one reason I love this film. It also has a great theme song, and I found the 45rpm of it the other day while going through my dad's music stuff. I think it was played by Ferrante and Teicher.
