I did indeed. Girl got away just in time. (I don't think it lasted more than a year or two.)

I think I saw a bit of it. He was super foxy.

Not sure. I know Gig Young mainly for being set dressing in OLD ACQUAINTANCE and TORCH SONG- that latter part is such a nothing role. He was pretty handsome though.

I would love to see The Devils on TCM, but kind of understand why it hasn't (ever?) been shown.

Oh no, I wouldn't say it's the only one worth remembering, it's just one of the few that I personally do.

"I agree Gig Young is whatever. He's so boring." But you do know about him in real life, yes? To me, that is something that is always there when you watch him.

And they really should've thanked Richard Harris, if not with a supporting role, then with a special note in the credits, because when it comes to guyliner, he was a trailblazer. Do you guys remember when Kurt Russell used to wear eyeliner and tried to act like he didn't?

Well, what was the channel?

Have you seen it before? It's the only case I can think of where a pretty mediocre/bad movie rally pulls the **** together at the end and just blows your mind. The ending is just great. Like, if JAWS THE REVENGE had ended with the shark eating everyone except Michael Caine. Again, the seventies, aren't you pretty much glad you missed them too? ps- poor Karen Black. her passing was quite sad. pss- I love Oliver Reed officially since seeing THE DEVILS.

Thank you, but I dunno....while I will claim "Christ on a cracker" as an LHF original, it's entirely possible someone has said it some time before me. "Sweet Fancy Moses" though is pure genius. I'm not in that realm. Also genius was the term "full body dry-heave" to describe Elaine's dancing in that episode. It's one of the few episodes and quotes I remember from SEINFELD. PS- the term was totally appropriate though to describe the level of jaw-dropping shock I took at viewing bing images, the wiki entry, and later the trailer for OLD DRACULA aka OLD DRAC aka VAMPIRA aka WHERE'S MY COCAINE? (1972[?]) The seventies man, the seventies. So utterly grateful I pretty much missed them.

NO, WE'RE JUST DEAF FROM FIRING GUNS ALL THE TIME. HUH? YEAH, YOU CAN USE IT.

Curveball there with FUNNY LADY. Can't work up too much enthusiasm for this list. Sorry.

Bring on the Empty Horses 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold

bing images: BARBRA STREISAND: MY PASSION FOR DESIGN. Just do it. The pics defy description.

Not allowed to post images here, but seriously: go to BING IMAGES and type in "Barbra Streisand Underground Mall." It's pictures of the Underground Mall she has in her home. Yes.

Rex Reed is also the worst. With LA STREISAND, I just seperate the beauty from the beast. At the end of the day, her work in several films (but in particular What's Up Doc? ) is among the best done by any actress ever; and that is a fact. However, I have heard firsthand anecdotes too, and I think in real life: she beast. ps- if you get the chance DO CHECK OUT HER COFFEE TABLE BOOK DEDICATED TO HER "AND JAMES'" MALIBU ESTATE. It is INSANE. She is INSANE. I read it in the middle of my local Barnes and Noble laughing so hard, I got a lot of side eye from passers by; I totally didn't care, I was like "no, you have to read this: this is hilarious." pss- She has an ice cream parlor and fully stocked candy shop in her basement. She is out of her G**D***ed mind.

Not meaning to be all "dishy", but was that with the first wife? (the one who died in the accident.) Seriously though, if there had been reality television at the time, Let's Follow David Niven Around the World would probably have been the greatest thing of all time. He really did have one hell of a life... I just don't think it translates to all of his parts

I can't really say as there's much I'm interested in checking out for David Niven month.,,,besides SEPERATE TABLES. (I think Niven is still on record as giving the shortest performance to ever win an Academy Award for Best Lead, I know there are conflicting accounts, but I want to say I read somewhere he is in the film for less than twenty minutes.)

omigah! I wish there was a "Sweet Fancy Moses" posting here (If I ever get booted and have to re sign up, that'll be at the top of my list for poster rnames.) No, "sweet fancy Moses" was an exclamation of surprise on discovering the plot to OLD DRACULA....I believe the first use of the term occured on SEINFELD, when George witnessed Elaine's bad dancing at an office party she took him to. (it always comes back to SEINFELD.) Thanks, that made my day.

Sweet Fancy Moses, I just looked up OLD DRACULA (aka OLD DRAC aka VAMPIRA) on wiki. The plot summary: Plot Count Dracula is an old vampire who, because of his advanced age, is forced to host tours of his castle to get new victims. In an attempt to revive his long-lost love, Vampira, Dracula sets out to collect blood from the bevy of Playboy Playmates living at his castle. However, one of the Playmates whose blood is drained is black, turning the revived Vampira into a black woman. Dracula enthralls the hapless Marc to collect blood from three white women in hopes of restoring Vampira's original skin color. Dracula transfuses the blood into her but she is unchanged; however, her bite turns Dracula black. Marc and his love Angela race to destroy Dracula but are taken aback upon seeing Dracula's new skin tone. Their surprise gives the vampires time to slip away to catch a flight to Rio for Carnival. CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ONE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE TRIBUTE!!!!!!

OLD DRACULA with David Niven as, well, an old Dracula is supposed to be pretty awful. I won't keep carping on it, since he has his fans, I just think it's a pretty dull choice for SOTM...with the rare exceptions of the occasional A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH or MURDER BY DEATH or BONJOUR TRISTESSE (all of which, I might add, are great not because of anything particularly notable he does in them) most of his films are mediocre to forgettable at best, and he pretty much always is playing "David Niven"- of course, every now and then, they needed a David Niven (ie THE PINK PANTHER) so it works out okay. I think it's telling that one of the few times where he stepped out of the "David Niven" persona and gave what equates to being a successful performance is in WUTHERING HEIGHTS (a film I think is painfully overrated BTW) and that is by being as bland as is humanly possible. ...of course, in looking him up on imdb some time ago, I did come across this anecdote, which always stays in my mind when I see him: At His funeral,the largest wreath was from the porters at Heathrow Airport. There was a card which read: "To the finest Gentlemen who ever walked these halls. He made a porter feel like a King". So, you know, there is that. (there are also several other anecdotes about him being a good friend and decent guy to many.)

it's also in the public domain, so if you miss it you can catch it in full on youtube or any number of bargain box DVDs.I've caught the opening of it, which is pretty atmospheric.

come on: the ending is awesome though! and a total mindf....well you know.
