Can hardly believe Ona Munson committed suicide bless her heart-any reasons given if I may ask?.....Also hve to tell you all about my first recollections of Jack Albertson in Willie Wonka and Chico and the Man so I associated white hair and mustache and a loud voice with him so one day I was watching Roustabout an Elvis movie and I heard A voice but didn't recognize the face and then.. hey Jack Albertson with brown short hair sans mustache he was in the very beginning

Thanks path40a for the explanations. Another question-doesn't the letterboxing of widescreen movies fix the pan and scan problem? The segment where they talk about how the West was Won and Jailhouse Rock is that the one you mean? Also I thought pan and scan might be mining terms like from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre so I'm glad I asked. Thanks again

FYI-all you Audrey Hepburn fans a new book is out about Audry Hepburn titled An Elegant Spirit by Sean Hepburn Ferrer. I read about it in the newspaper and thought I'd pass on the info. The article says all the proceeds from the book will go to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund started by the son a year after her death for educational services in countries she visited for UNICEF.

I like to watch A Summer Place with Dorothy McGuire esp. like that music. Found the book and enjoyed it immensley loved the detail that only the book can get into.

My friend born in 1933 can still recall when she saw Wizard of Oz. Her father said let's go to the movies and she can recall her parent's having a discussion over whether they should waste the money it cost to get in she recalls it was 15 cents-5 cents each. They didn't know it was going to go from black and white to color and they were quite astounded. How about that? Woudn't you like to have seen Wizard of Oz-like that? She liked the movie but her father was partiual to Westerns Don't know the mother's view will find out tommorrow.

I have a friend who was born in 1933. When she was in highschool, they would show the old films they had of Gene Autry or Roy Rogers. If you had the 10 cents you could go and this was the setting of one of my friend's first dates when someone paid her way in. She regals me with the story of how they would all laugh when the action showed said cowboy chasing bad guys or riding like heck and in the next scene he is singing to a sweetheart-he is not out of breath,sweaty and suddenly he has a guitar which you didn't see before. They summurized it must have been behind the tree. Just thought I'd share her story.

Also I have a contribution You know you are a Classic Film Junkie whenever you hear the word Martini you think or say "Shaken but not stirred"

If it won't give away any endings or important info I need some info I get all the list made available by stellabluegrl from her friend except 2 of them. Would someone please explain or tell me the name of the movie it came from? You keep telling your kids they've been on "double secret probation". and "Pan and Scan" gets you more worked up than "tax or spend".....thanks

I noticed something about Bob or the set before they showed Desperate Journey on Ronald Reagan night June 10th I think it was. I know some might thimk I'm being nit-picky or quiverling over small details but did any one notice How Bob disappeared into the background in the intro to this movie? I mean the background was black and Bob was wearing black and save for his tie and face you wouldn't know he was there. Probably in a hurry to film the segment or intros for Reagan's memorial film tribute.

Dr. Zhivago-don't be put off by the length. I also reccomend Same Time Next Year. Some people have said An Affair to Remember is good-I haven't seen it.
-
eddie71664 are you saying that Ray Charles srarred or co-starred or made cameos in other films? If so what are the titles? Also I loved those Pepsi commmercials Ray made.
-
Finally saw the bishop's wife this holiday season. I loved it also and someone once commented in another thread about Grant that Loretta Young looked so lovely boy did she. Not get the girl? The struggle of Grant's angel was so great I could touch it. A very fluid film-it couldn't have been more better.

I agree with you path40a. When I first discovered old movies I rented this one and though I watched it I didn't get it.Later on TCM After I heard Robert Osborne's explanation of things then...ah I get it. Also liked the non-dialogue {they didn't havre to speak you knew what they were thinking} and the music. And didn't Joan cut quite a picture in all her cowboy/cowgirl get-up.
-
he did ? well, and it is probably on my tape. Sorry about the mistake.

Here I go again- I tell you at that point I was ready to jot down some show suggestions. Also when Dunaways's character is trying to sell Duvall on her crazy show ideas I'm sold. What a performance by Faye Dunaway and she won the Oscar for her performance to boot.
-
Just thought again of the sequence when Dunaway's staff has come up with new show suggestions-how about all those Reality series and though they are good-the further installments of law and order and CSI. Like how Dunaways character says not quoting directly the next time I ask you all to come up with any ideas or send you memos you don't read I'm going to sack the whole ***sack of you.

Just like being in the movie theatre eh-mutinyetc. Actually there was a movie theatre I went to see one of the oh can't remember the name of the movie -need to go to bed. One of the 3 Mel Gibson and Danny Glover police movies. Anyway the cartoon for me was better than the movie. It was a Bugs Bunny one where Yosemite Sam and he are in medevil time and Sam has a dragon to ride and when he says whoo,dragon and it screeches to a stop and he slides painfully down its back-so funny. But have to tell you about where I laughed out loud and the person who was with me said someone said I sounded like a puppy when I laughed. Yosemite shoots himself by catapult to the castle Bugs is on the top of and he miscalculated the shoot and he is short. The brick of the castle inches forward on Bugs side and Yosemite is flat faced on the other before he falls-it's my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Here is another movie that I own-which also is prevelent to some things happening today as was A face in the crowd. It was nice to put a name to a face if you will. I had seen the I'm as mad as hell snipet whenever someone put a collection of movies together but didn't know what movie it was. When I watched my Oscar telecast tape from 1970-1990 I found out Peter Finch was up for best Actor well I thought he should of won his performance was tour de force. Love that line "because you're on television stupid" Also loved when Willian Holden told his going to the bridge story. Also just thought the lady who tells Dunaway the name of the new shows and what they are about and they sound the same that scene. Is that actress the lady who plays Charlie Sheen's housekeeper on 2 and a Half Men? You all do peel your eyes off TCM ocassionally don't you ...just kidding

I've forgotten about those-I remeber the commercials why do people feel the need to colorize. Are there no black and white versions for sale of Shirley's early pictures? I like She Wore A Yellow Ribbon-I liked her character name Philidelphia and she played her role well. I have yet to see Seabiscuit yet. Missed it when it came on.

Hey Guys he wrote funny books also I have one I found at the Salvation Army. Its title is Anybody Who Owns His Own Home Deserves It. The book also lists another title Help I'm a prisoner in a Chinese Bakery-haven't read this book but the other kept me in stitches. If I knew how to do that listing thing I'd print a few of his feelings on certain subjects...like...Insurance: I'm paying so much to take care of the future that I'm starving to death in the present. Okay one more for you big city folks New Yorkers and the ilk.. Commuting: You can't just zoom into Manhattan without a charge. There are tolls. You've heard the expression "Highway Robbery"? Guess where they got it.... It was written with Kathryn Ryan and it was released as best that I can tell in 1962 and had its 6th printing in 1966
