She played a supporting role in the remake of a classic mystery (but this is not the role she was nominated for).

Many of Sidaris' films are available on youtube. However, in order to watch them, you first have to proof you are in this country legally.

Yes, this is the film where Morita utters this classic line to a naked bimbo: "Now show me wax on, wax off."

Sidaris had cameos in a few of his films (but Alfred Hitchcock, he was not). Malibu Express is a remake of Stacey, and offered more naked bodies, as I recall. If you are a fan of Sybil Danning (with or without clothes), Malibu Express is for you.

Yes, it was right after Arnold's Drive-In went bellyup.

This clue will cut down the possibilities. She was an Oscar nominee.

No, this woman made some silents, but is better known for her sound films.

Here is an actress who may be unrecognizable here because she was almost always a blonde:

Harry Davenport

Right after that scene, Ted Cassidy became known as Hopalong Cassidy.

Funny story about David Cassidy: I was at a cabaret performance, featuring Patti LuPone, about ten years ago. All night long my date kept "spotting" celebrities in the audience, and every time I looked, she was wrong. After 4 or 5 of these "sightings," I just started saying "yeah, okay," without bothering to check. Then she grabs my arm and whispers "David Cassidy ... he's right behind us." I snicker ... she insists ... I snicker some more. But she also says "don't turn around." So how am I supposed to check? Finally, I do a fake cough, and turn my head ... and damned if she wasn't right.

Check her out in Esther and the King. She plays the shy, demure type.

Hey, wait a minute. Joan Collins doesn't realize she's a nun?

That's because he would eventually become Mr. Roarke.

Apparently Russian Ambassador Kislyak ... has been disguising himself for years as Clifton James :

I think the biggest BP upset was that oil spill.

Maybe it's time somebody started a thread entitled "I Can't Believe I Just Watched ..."

From what I've read, there are sites that say you can do this but you need to download software. Even though they claim the software is free, I'd still be reluctant to try it, unless you have a computer you are willing to sacrifice as an experiment.

I seem to remember some reference to cost accounting being made by one of the characters in Mirage ... maybe it was Walter Abel. That may have impressed the idea into Peck's head. Joe's comments about Matthau and Kennedy are interesting. The first time I saw Mirage, it was on NBC (I think) as one of their "Saturday Night at the Movies" or something similar, back in the 1960s. That was the first time I ever saw Matthau and Kennedy. So my first impression of Kennedy was that he was a tough guy, but I saw Matthau as kind of a comedian. I would like to give a plug to Robert Harris, as the psychiatrist. His scenes with Peck are pretty good.

How did you like the wardrobe?

Great website, thanks for providing that.

No problems with speed, but I had trouble last night with TCM on demand on my computer and my IPad, with both telling me I was not authorized to watch movies, or I had exceeded my watch limit, or some other nonsense, and to contact my cable provider. About an hour later, everything was working properly.

Probably because TCM is showing 31 Days of Oscar in alphabetical order, so titles beginning with earlier letters in the alphabet are no longer available.

It is definitely not one of the worst films ever made, but it is certainly odd. At times, I thought I was watching a stage production. Newman's career managed to thrive afterwards.

I'm sure it's a piece that Lalo Schifrin composed for the film. If can you find the soundtrack cd, the title is no doubt listed on that.
