I just watched The Ten Commandments
I really need to see/want to see The King and I. I can't believe in 23 years of life, I haven't yet. lol
The King and I is a great musical. But you have to be prepared for the sad ending.
23 years. Oh, dear. You are not much more than half my age.

Yes liam -that is correct.
That jazz standard - my favourite song to sing, by the way- was considered 'uninspired' the way it was done with Audrey Hepburn's real voice but when it was suggested that it be cut from Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hepburn said "Over My Dead Body!"
Some people just don't know hit songs when they hear them.
Your thread, liam.

I watched TOUCH OF EVIL again earlier today on TCM. Amazing that Janet Leigh's arm was broken and they were able to hide it.
By the way, Azure, I was not able to get the Movies channel, so I could not watch The Burglar.
It will come around again, hopefully.

I had to choose between 1930s and the 1940s. I chose the 1940s.
I love these decades more than other decades.
Both decades have great comedies, drama, and film noir.
But in the end I chose 1940s because that is the decade that saw the introduction of Gregory Peck.

Not an answer but a question:
How do you add music notes like Gipper just did on the keyboard?

Good for limey for answering two almost at once, now limey please post another scrambled clue.

Which Oscar Winning Best Song by Henry Mancini was almost left out of the movie because when the movie was viewed by the filmmakers of the movie, someone objected to it?

That's right Lavender.

6) Among the cast is Claire Bloom who is one of the few remaining/live artists who worked with Charlie Chaplin.

I wouldn't normally be good at password, but I will guess it is one of my favourite films:
THE BIG HEAT- referring to Gloria Grahame after she is burnt by Lee Marvin?

TOUCH OF EVIL - as it aired on TCM.
As I suspected, TCM aired the restored version of Touch of Evil where the credits appear at the end.
What a masterpiece.
As I was watching it this time, I had a thought about Mercedes McCambridge.
Did she ever get to play a sympathetic role as a lead? I'm trying to think of one, and I may have actually seen one, but I keep thinking of films like Johnny Guitar where she and Crawford really let each other have it.

It was a great movie! James Garner had most of my attention, but Steve McQueen and the other actors were great too!!!
I'm wondering if they filmed in Austria/Germany/Switzerland, beautiful scenery.
Valid point about the 50. Still disheartening, like Schindler's List.
I believe that they did film it on location . They planted tress to make it look like it was just the same place, but it was actually a bit away from the actual POW camp which had been used. Lots of trees were cut down to create the set and then tress were planted in their place.
It used to be that everything was done on a sound stage far away from where things actually happened. Then starting with On the Town where Gene Kelly wanted New York exteriors to be filmed in New York this started to change.

Nick and Nora;

Lifeboat (1944) because I love Tallulah Bankhead (I named my 1987 Bronco 2 after her lol).
Also, one that is less talked about is Stage Fright (1950) with Jane Wyman and Marlene Dietrich. Jane's character is basically hired to pretend to be an assistant to Marlene's character in order to spy on her. I don't remember too much about this one, though, only the ending.
I love Lifeboat. It has my favourite Hitchcock cameo. And I have seen few of Tallulah's films. She is a fun actress.
Stage Fright is a fun film. I know it is less known than others. I always remember the scene with the blood on the dress every time I think of it.

I guess you'll just have to watch The Gunfighter (1950) and McKenna's Gold (1969) on Encore Westerns instead, GPF!
It's such a chore watching your favourite actor of all time......
