Yes, she was a very powerful woman. I look at her films with this in mind, though I try to just enjoy watching the movies.

Well, that shows how few people actually saw the show. I was talking about Wayward Pines. I was in the pilot episode originally just walking down the street and eating at an ice cream shop- this was all in Agassiz -, but there was this flower shop and the flower girl did not know it was going to be an all-day shoot and had childcare only until 3pm. So she had to go home. Meanwhile, Matt Dillon had to keep filming the same scene past us so the visuals did nit match. That was in August 2013. They came back in October to shoot more scenes, but I did not go anymore. Meanwhile, it was put on the shelf for I do not know how long until it was finally released - I saw the pilot episode and there was only a brief shot of someone I remember seeing looking straight at the camera. I watched a few episodes but people kept getting killed off in weird ways. I remember being told that apparently, everyone in town had lobotomies. That is why everyone was living in the past.

Oh yes several people in the movie saw the play. And of course the person playing the spy knew who it was. But they wanted there to be as much realism as possible because of the surprise identity. Let me give you an example from a television show. You remember the television series M*A*S*H*? The first Captain on the show was MacLaine Stevenson. When he decided to leave the show , Alan Alda decided to kill him off on his way home. His plane was shot down and there were no survivors. Well, they shot the whole episode with everyone believing that there was a happy ending for the character even though the actor was leaving. Then on the last day of shooting that episode, everyone got the script for the final scenes. MacLaine cried. Everyone cried. Alda said that this was about war and people die in war. So that is how the episode was filmed. The scene where he says goodbye and in the operating room when Radar gives the news had a realistic feel because the actors and crew did not know. I do not know how many people in the cast and crew who were not in the play Stalag 17 saw the play. But I know from the DVD and commentary from people who worked on the film that some of the people were shocked.

Hint Number 1: two parts Movie: Plummer was a Klingon Shakespeare play: it was a History

George Sanders was in Rebecca with Judith Anderson

The Raymond Collection: 1. Raymond Burr in Perry Mason 2. Everybody loves Raymond 3. Raymond Massey in East of Eden

The Titanic (preferably the Stanwyck version) Next: The remake is better than the original

I adore Paths of Glory. It is one of my favourite anti-war films of all time. I also love Dr.Strangelove, although it is less satire than before. I will keep Full Metal Jacket in mind. I have seen some violent war movies like Apocalyspe Now because I am a fan of the star of the movie (In A.N., it is Martin Sheen). hmmm. I never spell Apocolypse correctly.....you get the idea.. Edit: I am looking at my DVD cover for Apocalypse Now Redux. So I can spell it. Sigh. What I buy because I love martin Sheen and he nearly died making it...

Thanks for the update, Barton. Knowing how Burt Reynolds has had health problems ever since breaking his jaw when a stunt man picked up a real chair instead of a breakaway chair, I wish him well. Faye Dunaway will be a wonderful addition to the festival.

I am not a King fan either. I don't read his books. I think that I love The Shining because of Jack Nicholson. As for Stanley Kubrick - it really depends upon the movie for me. Some I love. Some I hate. Some I tolerate. Others I have never attempted to watch and I don't want to try (can you say Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut?)

Besides Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's, how about a pitchfork to Miss Wildwood, the thumping bore? Timber!

Oh, yes you are right, he does look like Trump. Oh dear. I hope this does not ruin my viewing of further Albert Finney films..... Granted, the movie where he looks for Picasso in a film based upon a Ray Bradbury short story was a bad movie....

I love this show. It had the first season with a different synergy with a second male detective and a young woman answering the phone as Miss Fox that Steele always called Miss Wolf. But they soon realized that this triangle would not work and in came Doris Roberts. Nepotism would come into play as Brosnan's real life wife and Bond girl - Cassandra Harris -would appear as a long lost girlfriend and threat to Laura. In addition, Zimbalist's father E. Zimbalist Jr. would be on the show and eventually revealed to be a very important man in Steele's life...

Two For the Road is an excellent movie and Mancini's music fits perfectly into the movie. Mancini was wonderful at scoring for a variety of genres. As for waltzing Matilda, well, that is a folk song from Australia which is why it was in the movie On the Beach. Mancini and other composers composed brand new music. I will have to watch Two For the Road again to see if I see any unwanted images of Donald Trump. I promise to love the movie even if it does.

I played all sorts of ages of characters on stage, especially characters decades older than myself like Mrs. Bedwin in Oliver! when I was in my 20s. Stage and movies are quite different. The most obvious is that it is live and done chronologically and there is always a chance that the audience could change the way a performance is going like the person who interrupted Joan Rivers when she made a joke about Helen Keller in a personal appearance that was put in a documentary. But a movie and TV shows are filmed out of sequence much of the time. The editing process is long. Stalag 17 was filmed in sequence because some of the cast and crew had not seen the play so they did not know who the spy was and they wanted to make sure that the reactions were as realistic as possible. Cowboy was filmed in sequence for a completely separate reason: time saving. Both Jack Lemmon and the character he was playing had never ridden a horse and so Jack was taught as his character was taught.

Well, you know that Robert Duvall aka Boo aka Arthur knew what to do with him....

I am not known for my swimming either. I remember going down a waterslide at a birthday party and scrambling to the side of the pool.

NickandNora - you may want to check out the TV series Ironside as well where Burr plays a police detective in a wheelchair.

Raymond Burr fought long and hard for the role of Perry Mason. He hated playing the bad guy all the time and the only big screen title he felt proud of making was Rear Window. Warren William was not at all physically what Gardner had in mind for the role. He was in the movies. Regarding the author: He was on the set of the casting for the television series when in walked Raymond Burr who had been told that the producers were considering him to play Burger. Burr did not want to play Burger. When Gardner saw Burr walk into the room he stood up and said clearly: "That's Perry Mason" I love this series and Burr is my favourite Canadian born actor of all time.

Thanks for alerting people to this film who get GritTV, Liam. I don't, but I have seen The Seas Wolves and I must say that it is indeed worth seeing this great cast. It is a strong film for such a group of actors who were nearing the end of their careers along with some "younger" actors like Roger Moore. It is a fun seafaring film.

William Gilette, the ultimate Holmes on stage.

Boomtown

Gloria Grahame was in In a Lonely Place with Humphrey Bogart

Catherine for sure. Next: Rex Harrison or Richard Burton?

An air mattress, because I cannot swim and I do not drive either. Next: Appear in a silent film with Keaton or Chaplin?
