Well I just cried at the ending of City Lights. Not for the sadness, but for the sweetness of it. When the blind girl (or should I say formerly blind girl) recognizes Charlie Chaplin by the touch of his hand -- Oh! It touched my heart.

Thats it!! Thank so much!!

Is that Greta Garbo's image gracing the top of the Young Film Composers Competition page? If so, from what movie is it taken? If not, who is it and what's the source? Thanks

Among my favorites are THE NAKED JUNGLE and SECRET OF THE INCAS with Charlton Heston (was Yuma Sudak's songs used in INCAS been recorded on lp?) ALIAS NICK BEAL Paramount 1949 Ray Milland as the Devil in this great, now very little seen supernatural thriller with Thomas Mitchell, Audrey Totter and George Macready. Directed by John Farrow ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN OF THE HIMALAYAS Forrest Tucker and Peter Cushing in this well written, intellectual story about inner conflict among a group of men trying to find "The Yeti". Nigel Kneale's insightful story is still fresh today and much better than most of the tripe seen in big budget films. CITY BENEATH THE SEA Robert Ryan and Anthony Quinn in a great buddy adventure movie about salvage in the sunken city of Port Royal. THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS Still a funny little movie that holds up. TWO LOST WORLDS James Arness-granted, this film is built around a ton of stock footage from ONE MILLION B.C., CAPTAIN BLOOD and a few other movies, but its a great muncher to eat the popcorn by: Pirates, Sea Battles, Dinosaurs...Does it get any better for an afternoon of fun? Come on people...Sing Out!

As much as I enjoy the old Warners DEAD END KIDS, I think it would be great to see the Allied Artist BOWERY BOYS series. I really would love a copy of BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS from a nice broadcast quality source!

"WHAT PLACE....IS THIS?" I fully agree with you on "COMEDY OF TERRORS" (I have the original 1-sheet, framed up in my office) and its great to see the film being finally hailed as a good belly laugh. A lot of the critics and artsy fan-boys/girls in movie circles have been very negative of this film for over 30 years. Now with the laserdisc/dvd widescreen presentation of this title, mainstream movie buffs, not part of the horror film circles, have now been able to judge this film on its merits. Great acting and a lot of fun!

First off I just want to say "Thank you!" I posted two movie titles last night and I was able to find the name of BOTH of the movies I'm looking for! But I need your help ONE more time... All I can remember about this movie is all the neighborhood mothers collecting or selling something to get these gravy boats with the promise of a whole set of matching dishes by the end of the promotion. I remember they all gathered in this auditorium to listen to this man speak and he had the misfortune of telling them they were NOT getting anything but the gravy boats... at which point every woman in the audience chucked her gravy boat at him. The movie is kind of like "A Christmas Story" where a guy is narrating his childhood. Can anybody remember the name of this movie?

Any part of Groucho's "strange interlude" in Animal Crackers. Best closing line: "I'm having an old friend for dinner" from Silence of the Lambs, beating out Casablanca's: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." You can't help but smirk every time.

And I still want to thank you for tipping me off to this wonderful film Stanley! (too formal)?

In what movie did they use Allan Jones to sing instead of Dennis Morgan?

I have been trying for maybe 15 years to find the Desert Song with Dennis Morgan. Do you know anymore now?

Do you know anymore about the Desert Song?

did you find out anything more about the Desert Song with Dennis Morgan? I have been trying for at 15 years to find out why we can't see this great movie. I was about 14 when this was shown, and saw it 8 times. Did see a note by edgecliffd about "it is unfortunate about this movie" - what did this mean?

I apologize but I didn't really expect my answer to be correct. Unfortunately, I won't be able to proceed with the contest at this time. If anyone else would like to take up the torch, consider it passed to you. Thanks.

Robert Young, so well remembered for his bland and kindly, sunny roles, once explained to an interviewer that he was an introvert in an extroverted profession. Quite troubled throughout his life by depression and alcoholism, he could play an upright citizen as well as a character with dark flowers growing in his soul. He was exceptionally good when given half a chance with a decently written part. He could play with considerable skill a man who sought security in apparent external success while a strong current of discontentment flowed just beneath the surface. In "Three Comrades", "The Mortal Storm" and especially in the odd, noirish "They Won't Believe Me" he played limited men who weren't just trapped by the times they lived in, but were also hemmed in by their own psyche. In these films, he went from phlegmatic good nature to exhibiting flashes of desperate anger in an instant. This aspect of his screen persona could be quite startling to a viewer, especially if one were most familiar with Young through "Father Knows Best". On the other hand his comedic playing in such lightweight trifles as "Claudia", "Claudia and David" and "Sitting Pretty" continue to give pleasure. It probably just looks easy to play opposite a radiant Dorothy Maguire or a skilled actor such as Clifton Webb. Whenever they lobbed a line his way, he sent it back with a nice spin. That's not easy. Perhaps Robert Young may have enjoyed the creative expression that he received from his darker roles, but his lighter moments revealed his talent as well.

The film that you saw was "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"(1964) with Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo as the young lovers. It was written and directed by Jacques Demy with original music by Michel LeGrand. The striking color cinematography was by J. Rabier. This film is available on video & dvd and has been shown on TCM several times.

Thank you!!!

I was up to the wee hours of the morning and I saw the last half of this french musical... I have no idea who stars in it... I *think* it was released in 1964. It was in color. There was a man who fell in love with a blonde haired woman. I believe he went to war (but this is the part I missed so that could be wrong) Anyway he left for some reason. The girl became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. He comes back and she's gone... married somebody else. Of course he takes to drinking and practically ruins his life. He is living with this older woman who is sick and being tended to by a young burnette. The woman dies and the burnette is about to leave, but the guy begs her to stay for him. He asks her to marry him eventually... the girl is a little unsure at first because of this other woman, but she agrees to marry him. In time he opens up his own garage. Movie flashes to Christmas several years in the future... and his old flame pulls up with a little girl (around 7 years old) strapped into the passanger seat. He basically tells her he has a life without her now and lets her drive off. If ANYBODY can help me with the name of this movie, I'd REALLY appreicate it!

Hi! I'm trying to figure out the name of a movie so I can watch it again. I remember watching a film in Elem. School. This was in the late 70s early 80s in Indiana. I recall a boy crossing a bridge in a horse and buggy with a man. I also recall him collecting glass bottoms to make a window for his mom or aunt for their log cabin. HELP me!!!! Thanks, Susan

I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me with this... I remember seeing this movie where a woman poses as a little girl to get a cheaper train ticket, but somehow meets up with an officer and is taken to a military base. I believe she calls him Uncle Philip. (could be wrong on that) but I'm pretty sure they call her Sue Sue. Her real name is Susan Applegate. She ends up staying with Philip's (?) fiance and rooms with her younger sister. In the end she falls in love with the guy but leaves without telling him her secret. He happens to be in the town where she lives and comes by to see the little girl. In the end she follows him to the train station and Susan tells him her secret and they live happily ever after... I'd really like to find out the name of this movie. Can anybody help me?

Why is the 1955 film "Unchained" not released at all? The film was inspiring and the song released in this movie "Unchained Melody" is immortal. Check it out on IMDB

Its about 3 young women that go to Miami in search of rich husbands.They are not that well off but they don't want anyone to know. Its in color.

years ago i saw a movie on tv...a group of airmen had crashed in the desert...periodically one would try to leave to get help but would always return unsuccessful. One of the guys played a harmonica to keep their spirits up...soon the sirmen start disappearing one by one and the movie watcher finds out that there is an investigation into the crash and as the investigators find the bodies then the ghosts disappear. at the end one lone airman is left at the crash site as the investigators never recover his body...does anyone know the name of this fims?

Bracken, I've heard that Jennifer Jason Leigh refuses to acknowledge her father as well. It is sad, but of course, she may have her reasons since her parents were divorced. She may also have her paternity to thank for at least some of her talented acting genes, (though I believe her Mom was also an actress and a writer). I think that Vic Morrow's awful death overshadows everyone's memories of his considerable presence as an actor--which is quite evident in those reruns of "Combat". The scripts for that show weren't always the best, but the acting was generally superior from the repeats that I've seen, especially when they concentrated on Morrow and hired such strong guest stars as Robert Duvall and Lee Marvin. My, we've certainly taken this thread off-topic, haven't we? So Bracken, are you a Hoagy Carmichael fan, or can you take him or leave him alone?
