  1. jamesjazzguitar, I'd add these films to your list:

     

    "I Am A Camera"--(1955)--Based on Christopher Isherwoods'  " Berlin Stories"--Julie Harris and Laurence Harvey also star.

     

    "Mambo"--(1955)--Account of filming this is in her autobiography "Shelley; Also known as Shirley (1980).  I So want to see this! 

     

    "The Scalphunters"--Western romp that's a delight.  Burt Lancaster, Ossie Davis, & Telly Savalas co-star.

  2. AndreaDoria--Yes, I was up to see "Ship of Fools" (one of the few Vivien Leigh films I hadn't seen) & decided to give this a try,  By the way--film Comcast in East TN showed was titled "Blood Kin"--an alternate title for "The Last of the Mobile Hot Shots"--so I don't know if we saw Exactly the same film or not.

     

    Anyway--Atmospherically, Williams had the opening five minutes of the film caught: the Rural South in the 50's or 60's ; the camera takes you into what looks like a revival tent, but is instead a furniture store owner running a game show to publicize his furniture store.  Then the plot takes over, and--the only thing that kept me watching was Lynn Redgrave.  She had the part of a dimwit who Never shuts up down cold, and she was funny during the first forty minutes.  I'm Guessing she put her voice in falsetto so she would sound younger; she speaks incessantly of going to Hollywood in films' first fifteen minutes.

     

    I gave up on "Blood Kin" when the whatever percentage brothers started yelling at each other, so I missed Redgraves' screeching.  "Blood Kin"  was a big disappointment.

    "The Unforgiven"--(1960)--The survivors??
