From the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968) Charleton Heston as George Taylor says: George Taylor: Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

Although it's a modern movie, "Arrival" (2016) featured the haunting music "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter in its opening and closing credits, and throughout the film. The music was so unforgettable that I immediately paused the movie and added it to one of my Spotify playlists. Please just give it a try..you won't regret it.

I saw an article on this. His Daytona watch sold for $17.8 million and was a gift from wife Joanne Woodward. It's inscribed "DRIVE CAREFULLY ME." It was an all-time high price for a watch and is considered the Holy Grail of watches because of its connection to the two Hollywood stars.

Much ado about **** NOTHING...

Even though it's a recent film "Smashed" (2012) very accurately demonstrates the dynamics between two married alcoholics, one who wants to get sober (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her husband (Aaron Paul) who doesn't. They have a subtlety to their dilemma that's less melodramatic than "Year of Wine and Roses." I thought it was a realistic peek into that world I'm very familiar with...

Thank you sewhite2000. Exactly how I feel

"The Priest's Wife" was a joke with Mastroianni having a little high voice. Ridiculous! You don't have to speak a language to enjoy the original. Just be grateful that the actors are speaking in their natural tones--how much of acting is DELIVERING LINES, INFLECTIONS, SUBTLETIES OF TEXT--and that their mouths are moving in synch with the picture. C'mon..

If TCM is going to get me all excited playing six Sophia Loren movies, why would they play any dubbed versions? It drives me crazy and I hope they don't do it again. At least Loren's voice seems to be her own because she speaks English, but the Marcello Mastroianni voices were terrible. The FAKE sounding dubbing just ruins the movie!

Louise Beavers to Carole Lombard in "Made For Each Other" (1939) on tackling the adversities of Life: "Don't let the seeds spoil the watermelon."

John Derek was in "Frontier Circus" with Chill Wills. Chill Wills was in "The Steagle" with Cloris Leachman. Cloris Leachman was in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" with Paul Newman. Next: Paul Winfield

Could it be John Derek and Ursula Andress?

Sorry for previous post. No matter how I did it the pic wouldn't appear...sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but as I was saying someone with more advanced research skills could probably give you a better answer. There are also several matador paintings of Zuloaga's that seem to be the direct inspiration for Power's matador costumes and other characters' costumes including Linda Darnell, Rita Hayworth and Anthony Quinn.

I did as much research as I was able and there are several Zuloaga paintings that look like they could have been in Blood and Sand or at least copied in bullfighting posters that were scattered across the movie. But someone with better research skills than I might be able to find a definitive answer. The interviews I read with Mamoulian just referenced the "Goya-Velasquez-El Greco-inflected Blood and Sand" as one author called it. But if you look at some of Zuloaga's paintings you'll see direct references to the tone and costume of some of the characters themselves. For instance, the piece below is almost exactly how Tyrone Power's mother is dressed, after he makes a big deal about buying her a fancy black shawl in Madred, as he becomes a more successful matador.

This isn't exactly real works of art in movies, but about a director's clear vision to emulate real artists' style in his work. The movie is "Blood and Sand" (1941) and as I watched it last night I couldn't help thinking, Am I going crazy or does this look like a staged shot made to resemble Goya or El Greco? And then I saw this little paragraph from a TCM article about the movie. The 1941 Blood and Sand would not only have sound but color as well and to get the very best look, Zanuck hired Rouben Mamoulian, the director of the first three-strip Technicolor movie Becky Sharp (1935). Mamoulian had not had a chance to work with color since and was anxious to use this opportunity to push color photography to a new level. Each sequence in the movie would be modeled after the look of a great painter; the bullring scenes in the manner of Goya, the matador's dressing room after Titian, etc. If the set did not feature the right colors, Mamoulian kept a paint-filled spray can nearby for touch-ups. As Mamoulian recalled about a hospital scene, "I thought if El Greco had painted it, it wouldn't look white, it would look green and gray, so I sprayed all the sheets and painted shadows on the walls. It looked absolutely appalling to the eye, and it really shook me because I thought I'd really ruined the set, but it came out beautifully." For his efforts Blood and Sand took the 1942 Academy Award for Best Color Cinematography. It's worth watching this movie just to see those references and its beauty. I could do without the story and the acting's so-so, but the shots of a crucified Christ in greys and blacks, the hospital shot, and many more are really visually superb.

Ulmer, Edward G. - director - (The Detour) This is my first time playing and I noticed Ulmer was used before, is that OK? Otherwise I would have to check 164 pp. of posts.

I also would add "Mrs. Miniver" to this list. That just reeks of British style, language and attitude. Right down to the rose competition, which is really about the class-system that was breaking down between WWI and WW2. That's an aspect to this whole thing as well. I meant to mention it.
