First Movie SONG That Comes to Mind
Det Jim McLeod replied to LonesomePolecat's topic in Games and Trivia
"Love Can Make You Happy" from "Fireball Jungle" Next-song that makes you cry -
Lorne Greene was in Autumn Leaves with Leonard Mudie

I am one of the few who not only think "Bride" is superior to the original, but "Son" is also. I rate the original 9/10 and the two sequels both get a 10/10.

Cyd Charisse was in It's Always Fair Weather with Dan Dailey

Totally agree. I had heard that Universal had wanted him to play Dracula in "Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein" before going with Bela Lugosi.

Did Anyone Watch "Marty" Tonight?
Det Jim McLeod replied to johnpressman's topic in General Discussions
What did you think? "Marty" is one of my top ten favorites and I wanted to see what the new co host Ava Duvernay had to say about it. I was ready to hit the mute button if she said anything critical or "politically correct" about it. Luckily, she had nothing but high praise for it. I actually wish she had spoken longer in regard to the film, at the closing sequence she went on about her own career, then I lost interest. -
I had seen this film before and I had given it a rating of 8/10. Strangely enough, I could not recall anything about it when I rewatched it today. I still think it's a great film with shocking twists and turns with excellent acting by everyone. It was way ahead of it's time and would have been good material for 1960s exploitation directors like Roger Corman (who had his own carny mentalist sequence in "X, The Man With The Xray Eyes") or Sam Fuller who could make great films out of lurid subjects and sleazy characters. Still, I am still perplexed on why I could not remember anything about it, maybe I was a victim of the spook racket.
