I disagree, I LOVE this movie, 8/10. I liked the teen girls, while they were giggly and a little annoying, like most teens are. The scenes of having a sleep over and laughing over prank phone calls seemed pretty real for 1960s kids. John Ireland was very menacing as the killer. Crawford was way over the top, but she is not in it for long. Below is a great photo of Cary Grant visiting the set.

I'm glad you got to see it. They recreate many scenes from "Way Out West" which would make a good double feature with this bio-pic.

Great character actress, "Midnight Cowboy" is in my top ten favorite films. She was great at playing tough talking broads who had "been around". I thought she was very sexy too. I saw her once walking around NYC but did not have the courage to approach her. I would have loved to have asked her about the Statue Of Liberty! -
Poor Devil (1973) 6/10 A TV movie with Sammy Davis Jr as the Devil's bumbling assistant. I remember this when first broadcast, I enjoyed it again on Youtube, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Someone who goes in without ever seeing in 1973 is bound to be disappointed. Jack Klugman is the target for selling his soul, he plays a junior accountant at a San Francisco department store who is bitter over being passed over for a promotion. Christopher Lee is Mr Lucifer and Adam West plays Klugman's smarmy boss. In my favorite scene, Sammy tries to get advice from some criminals currently in Hell. They include Al Capone, the Younger gang, Blackbeard the pirate and Bonnie And Clyde. Bonnie doesn't have any advice, but she has written a poem!

I have recently been watching episodes of the 1970s Beatrice Arthur show "Maude". 2 of the biggest stars of all time were a guest on her show: John Wayne and Henry Fonda. The Duke appears on an episode, playing himself. He is visiting Maude's household (and promoting his current movie "Brannigan"), liberal Maude is looking to argue politics with famous right winger Wayne. However she gets so starstruck meeting him she only asks him to dance. In the Henry Fonda episode, Maude invites him to her home claiming it is for a charity performance of his one man show. She really wants him to be a presidential candidate, because she says "I have always been fond of Fonda" (she thinks this is a great slogan.) Fonda thinks it's a joke, saying "Jimmy Stewart put you up to this, didn't he?". What are your favorite classic star sitcom guest roles?

He deserves it. One of the few really innovative directors in recent years. Of course it won't be televised however, but those boring short subject awards will still be shown. -

Looking forward to seeing "The Moon Spinners" again, for the first time in decades. It's closest Disney ever came to a Hitchcock movie. Hayley Mills is at her best and Eli Wallach is a menacing villain.
