YES. Even Claudette though so later on (but not at the time!)
I can understand her not liking it right away, but after some time has
passed, yeah it's funny.

Yeah. Sex is another one. How many times back in the "day" when my ex and I were "steadies" did I hear my then future Mother in law go on about how girls who went "all the way" would go through life with a "reputation" and be social outcasts? "Girls who wanted to be popular would NEVER behave that way." she'd prattle. I inwardly laughed, thinking that girls who did WERE the "popular" ones.
At least as far as the GUYS were concerned.
Sepiatone (in response to an earlier Vautrin post)
Yeah. I always get a laugh out of that line from Marty--College girls, one step up
from the street, the implication being that those college girls would "give it away."

Oh, so you're sayin' you never saw that cameo she did in Moon Over Miami then, eh?!
Uh-huh. Why do you think they named the film that? Nope, it wasn't Betty Grable who does that in that flick, dude, nor Don Ameche either.
Supposedly it was after a bet Claudette made with her bad-side movie double Shemp Howard one day on the set of It Happened One Afternoon(never released, and why you don't remember it) and after he dared her to do it, and she being one to never turn down a dare.....
(...well, you get the picture)
Moon Over Miami isn't really my kind of movie. Why not have her moon someone in
Cleopatra? There's already a lot showing anyway. Sorry, I'm a Curly fan. It Happened
Once, After Noon.

Well yeah, there WAS always that TOO of course.
(...but isn't that just sort of an offshoot of what the newbie jland1025 observed about her on the previous page???)
I've never noticed that she seemed bent over. Hey, whatever.

I'll see that and raise.
My Mom once "fessed up" that her generation was more into it than they later liked to admit. She told me she even broke a date with a guy she liked in high school when she found out he used and sometimes sold "gage".
Louis Armstrong was a regular user since before he left New Orleans and launched his decdes long career. Was legend that he kept smoking it until the day he died. Plus, it's been often claimed that all those Big Band "Hep Cats" that my Mom's generation grooved on and danced to all night long partook in it too. Even have been claims that "In The Mood" was an early drug reference.

I remember reading about Armstrong's long term reefer madness. That was a bit of a
surprise because Armstrong was sort of an unofficial establishment type for much of
his later career. Old Louis wouldn't smoke dope just like all those hippies did, now would
he? Yes, I would guess that a lot of the musicians of the time smoked weed. especially given
their late night life styles. I still believe that some parents of the baby boomers were a bit
jealous of the drugs they didn't take and the sex they didn't have back in the day. But
at least some of them had to pretend they wouldn't do those things themselves.

Actually it wasn't until the story was resurfaced that a lot of guys I know who WEREN'T fans of Bob started taking interest.
I always liked to bring up that old story whenever my ex mother in law started her tired harangue about how she believed it was HIPPIES that "invented" marijuana and it's use.
And how NObody ever smoked pot before the "summer of love". 
Sepiatone
Do Mitchum that joint, maybe. I can't recall when I read that Mitchum was busted
for pot. That was pretty unusual back then. Yes, some people were smoking weed
back in the 1940s, but it wasn't as widespread as it became in the 1960s. I'll wager
a lot of these oldsters were just jealous.

I propose that EM take the place of the guy who was dumped
in the Passaic river last Friday.

In a little-known sidebar to this story, a dancer named Vicki Evans was also arrested as part of the group smoking joints. While out on bond, she fled to New York, where she was nabbed and jailed. Some guy claiming to be Robert Mitchum showed up to visit her in jail; the real Mitchum was in California at the time.
"What a jerk," Evans remarked about the imposter. "He looked enough like Bob to be his twin brother, though."
You be the judge:
Damn, they really did freeze Walt Disney.
There are suspicions that Bob's arrest may have been some kind of
set up, perhaps sacrificing Mitchum so a bigger star went free. I don't
think there's any proof of that, but it's an interesting speculation.

Very likely, though he still wouldn't care.

I doubt many folks today would be disturbed by Bob Mitchum blowing a little
weed. Back in '48 it was a big deal, though Bob's career didn't suffer.

One vote for The Honeymooners. I like Laurel and Hardy too, but the same
old tie twiddling and head scratching get old after a while. Not that Ralph
and Norton didn't have similar set pieces, but I find them funnier. Since
humor, like most other things, is a very individual taste, I can understand
people liking either one. I watched the classic 39 on YT a number of years
ago, mostly because I hadn't seen them in so many years. The visual quality
was quite good too. Maybe they're no longer on YT.

Maybe Peck realized that Bob had the juicy role while Peck was just playing his
usual solid citizen part. And at that time he must have seen Cape Fear as not
exactly a prestige picture. I always got a kick out of Mitchum addressing
Peck as counselor in his southern drawl. Have another blast, counselor?
The remake is pretty good, mostly due to De Niro. The rest of the cast doesn't
add much to it. No doubt that Max Cady II was better read than Cady I. And his
cigar was a hell of a lot bigger too.

Indeed. Something bushy tailed this way comes. Back in the day I didn't like
to see the Dissociative Dust Bunny come up. That was always bad news.

Maybe the Death card came up. Haiti is known for beliefs in black magic
and other supernatural things. Tarot readings were entertaining, but I
never put much stock in them. The cards themselves were certainly visually
impressive.

I've always had a thing for Vera Clouzot, especially in pigtails.
And hard hearted Hanna Schygulla.

Vautrin, is that you?
Did you grow up in Southern Cali and attend High School in the South Bay area?
If so, thanks to your post, I've a suspicion that we knew some of the same people and may have hung out together at sometime....
Were you the guy who forgot to turn off the ectoplasm communicator one Halloween?
No, it's not me. I grew up in north Jersey. I think some teens get interested in stuff
like seances and tarot cards. Some take it more seriously than others. I didn't take it
too much to heart, but it was fun to be involved.

Right on! I remember in my college theology course, that we learned that in Hebrew lore, 7 was considered a magic and perfect number, hence when the angels like Lucifer [if you believe such things] had their fall from grace, they lost a digit obviously and were then represented by the number, 6 and to amplify how much Lucifer had messed up, he was given the designation of three sixes in a row, just to put him/her/it in their place. Don't ask me about why Ronald Reagan's names also came out to be in a 6-6-6 pattern. I can also recite the names of all sixteen Judges of Israel by memory from the class, if you are interested, Vautrin.
I was just quoting a Pixies' song. Hey, maybe the Hebrews were into craps. I likely
heard something similar somewhere along the way. Hard to take it very seriously.
Now we all know that Ronny was too lazy to really be the devil. It's a nice feat of
memorization, but truth be told, I'm not all that interested in the Judges. But if I
change my mind, I'll know where to go.
My good friend's friend in high school was interested in all things supernatural. After
some observation, we came to the conclusion he was mostly into it so he could get
girls. We had more fun smoking weed at the top of the water tower.

If the Devil is 6, then God is 7.

The first one that came to mind was Blithe Spirit maybe because it was
on TCM not long ago. Obviously a comic seance and not very creepy at
all.

I had to track that one down since I couldn't remember the context of
my post. But I stand by my comment. And soon enough the Raiders
will discover that there is no there there.

Yes, he was up for anything - he was the star of "Nijinsky".
And he gave a beautiful performance, too.
He was a very brave actor.
I haven't seen the nude wrestling scene in years. If Bates really prohibited
full frontal, it must have been choreographed down to the last second.
At least as far as the GUYS were concerned.

The TCM Noireteria even sells concrete blocks for $29.99 plus two way attachment
rope for $11.99. They're still working on a wine selection that would complement this.
