34) Shadows In The Night-Dylan does Sinatra standards. On the first track "I'm A Fool To Want You" sets the mood with spare instrumentation and some muted brass. My favorite track is probably his version of "Autumn Leaves" in which the lyrics match the music arrangement well. Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do" has a nice haunting melody. Other than that, the songs mostly sound the same, making them mostly forgettable.
35) Fallen Angels-Yet more standards mostly made famous by Sinatra. Dylan's voice is just not up to the challenge on some of the more familiar tunes. However I think this collection is slightly better than the last one. "Skylark" is a Hoagy Carmichael song and more uptempo in arrangement, maybe my favorite. "That Old Black Magic" also has a nice arrangement with some good percussion. Dylan does a decent job on "Come Rain Or Come Shine". The rest have the same problems as the last record, the sameness of sound. I would rather listen to his Christmas album than this and Shadows In The Night.
Didn't yet get a shot to read all of this, do you mean BOB DYLAN?

Next to SINATRA I love motion picture scores by far the most!

Fastest ever saw is still Gene Hackman in the 1995 Quick and the Dead ($19m.) (**1/2)
Close runner would have to be Harmonica in Once Upon a time in the West

The caveat with the historical records is that in the early years of a lot of the Wild West boom towns there were no newspapers, so no records. For instance everybody's heard of Dodge City, Wichita, Virginia City, and Tombstone, but has anybody heard of this place....
Fort Benton, Montana was established in 1846 by Alexander Culbertson, who worked for Auguste Chouteau and Pierre Chouteau, Jr. of St. Louis, it was the last fur trading post on the Upper Missouri River. For 30 years, the port attracted steamboats carrying goods, merchants, gold miners and settlers, coming from New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, Hannibal, Bismarck, Kansas City, etc.
As the Head of Steamboat navigation and terminus for the 642-mile-long Mullan Road, completed by the United States Army in 1860, it was part of the overland link between trade on the Missouri and the Columbia River, at Fort Walla Walla, Washington. Twenty thousand migrants used the road in the first year to travel to the Northwest. It became an important route for miners from both directions going into the interior of Idaho, and north to Canada. Steamboat travel from St. Louis, Missouri helped broadly fuel the development of the American West between 1860 and 1890, when it was supplanted by railroad transport.
Fort Benton's first newspaper, the Benton Record, was established February 1, 1875 so there was no record for the roughly the first wildest thirty years of its existence.
good info

Smoke & Mirrors as the say right Hollywood has always heighted certain actors, Alan Ladd took it the worst of all
Numerous actors & even actresses have had it done over the yrs Edward G., Bogie, Raft, Yul Brynner, Tyrone Power, Donlevy, etc They tried it with Cagney early on but he would have none of it, most don't realize he was actually 5'7 at one time, not too short Bogie was really 5'8 & was well known to wear lifts & for the all-time finale of CASABLANCA had to stand on a crate nxt to her There is a sad docu on Ladd on youtube & a lg pt is taken up about just this

Add PANIC IN THE STREETS '50 to that list.
An eerily familiar plot, I've picked up reading Stephen King's 1000 pager, THE STAND to keep me entertained. Once that's finished, I'll watch the schlocky TV movie.
I'm using this time to catch up on all the TCM recordings in the queue. Most are lighthearted pre-codes featuring Joan Blondell, William Powell, etc. Then, I'll watch the entire Thelma Todd SUTS Day shorts recorded to 5 disks for fun.
Tiki, I was just thinking about PANIC... & this disease the other day

Tikisoo, to me kinda brings up a very timely science-fiction one right now 12 Monkeys ($56m.)
Not a big fan, but timely in some ways

Probably a few more. There are some remakes of Last Man on Earth, but I've not seen them, I've heard mentions of I Am Legend and The Omega Man
Another is French film Le Dernier Combat (The Last Battle) (1983).
I remember THE OMEGA MAN was it was on tv in the early to mid '70's, actually in retrospect I rank I AM LEGEND stronger & and among the few thrillers-(well, sci-fi) that can get under my skin

thought o0n here many more would also mainly choose the era I did?

Many people don't like a full day of programming to be devote to ONE 'theme' (e.g. actor, genre, holiday).
While I'm not one of them (unless over done), not liking what is perceived as a lack of variety, makes sense to me.
As already noted I'm against birthday tributes because on most days, there is are 'famous' actors that had a birthday. Even if one was to limit the select to the top 50 actors, would you really want 50 days of TCM's programming devoted just to birthday tributes? NOT!
They then should just give them 4 films like a GP-(Guest Programmer) gets to select

And just think was gonna be ALAN LADD instead as McCreedy
