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.

Pat Morita in 1991's Do or Die:
Yes, this is the film where Morita utters this classic line to a naked bimbo:
"Now show me wax on, wax off."

Hard Ticket to Hawaii is a good intro to the world of Andy Sidaris: cheap action films featuring many ex-Playboy models who never pass up an opportunity to take a shower/change shirts/get naked. The dialogue is ridiculous, the acting is even worse. The whole series of 11 films (12 if you include the similar, earlier Sidaris film Malibu Express) is worth seeing for fans of the absurd, and most are available on a DVD set that costs $5.
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.

RE: ANDY SIDARIS
I remember Pat Morita was in one...
Yes, it was right after Arnold's Drive-In went bellyup.

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

Could it be silent screen star Phyllis Haver?
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

The Cassidy who played Gomez and Morticia's butler on TV, AND who Paul Newman kicks in the nuts as he's about to explain the rules of the knife fight they're about to have in BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID is no relation to Jack or David, right?!
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.

Lorna-- The only film roles I remember for Collins are where she played a "bad" girl ("Land of the Pharaohs, The Opposite Sex, etc.). I haven't seen Sea Wife, but have seen "The Conqueror"--Until I watch Sea Wife, Wayne has the edge, LOL.
Check her out in Esther and the King. She plays the shy, demure type.

Prince of Players has shown up on FXM Retro from time to time. Ditto Sea Wife later in the evening, with Burton on a lifeboat at sea romantically attracted to Joan Collins, not realizing she's a nun.
Hey, wait a minute. Joan Collins doesn't realize she's a nun?

"Mark of the Renegade" (1951)--Starring Ricardo Montalban and Cyd Charisse.
Universal actioner has strong overtones of Zorro, except Marcos Zappa (Montalban) is branded with an "R".
That's because he would eventually become Mr. Roarke.

Apparently Russian Ambassador Kislyak ...

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.

A search of 'The Venetian Affair soundtrack' yields this site:
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/notes/venetian_affair.html
You can play selections from links on the right hand side of the page. From your description, it might be #5, Claire's Blues. Hope this helps.
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.

Hi. Recently watched the 1967 Robert Vaughn, Ed Asner spy movie called The Venetian Affair. Starting at about minute 26 into the movie there is beautiful, slow blues/jazz piano music playing in the background while Vaughn has a discussion in a female's apartment. Unfortunately, this music is not mentioned in the movie credits. Does anyone know what piano music this is?
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.
GUESS WHO?

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