A wise choice.

Here is a still from the German version, Der Tunnel, 1933, directed by Curtis Bernhardt. He also made a French version the same year. During the filming of the German version, the associate producer was killed when the tunnel collapsed.

The people in West Side Story satisfy both categories ... dancers and hoodlums.

Yeah, I saw this on MST3K several years back, and could not make heads or tails out of it. At least the wisecracks kept it interesting. I think the MST3K version is on youtube.

Unlike today's California kids.

The tall thing is not very clear in the original photo. As for the car, I have no idea, but since the film came out in 1969, it could be a '65 car.

She had such a lovely face. She and McCrea appeared together in Wells Fargo, which I have not seen in years. I also remember them appearing at the Academy Awards one year when famous "couples" were presenting. I think it was the same year that Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon presented an award.

Yes

h3. LOL

Well, Casablanca has all those gay subtexts anyway.

No, sorry. "Bridge" is not in the title either.

Yes, that's the most likely explanation, which means Henreid was really acting when he went for the lip-lock.

The Blackboard Jungle, this ain't. What a cast. Jerry Lewis sings the title tune sitting at a piano on back of pickup truck. Then it's on to the story. Russ Tamblyn plays a tough, in his 7th year of high school (but he's really an undercover drug agent). Mamie Van Doren plays his "aunt" (but she's really Mamie Van Doren). The first few times Mamie appears, muted trumpets sound. For trivia buffs, her real husband at the time, bandleader Ray Anthony, also appears in the film as a hood. John Drew Barrymore plays the high school big man. He sounds like a cross between Elvis and Robert Duvall. William Wellman Jr. plays a tough guy. Charles Chaplin Jr. plays an undercover cop. Their parents must have been so proud. Jan Sterling plays the high school English teacher ? at least, I think that's what she was teaching. When Tamblyn first shows up in her class, she sends him to the Principal's Office. Later, when her car won't start, she accepts a ride home from him. Right. This is why I keep my office door open when students stop in. Jackie Coogan plays the big man, "Mr. A." and also plays the piano in a combo. The bass player in the combo is Charles Horvath, best known for carrying around Robin Hughes' head in The Thing that Couldn't Die. Mel Welles, last seen as a Frenchman in Attack of the Crab Monsters, has a bit part here. He is also listed under the credits for "Special Material." Presumably, he supplied the joints for everyone. There is an obligatory hot rod race, which seems to be more of a contest over who wears the worst hat. The dialogue is about what you would expect. Samples: "That's tough toenails." "Make like bubble gum and blow." The ending is a laff riot as the "good high school students" led by Michael Landon take out the bad guys in a rumble at a night club. The director was Jack Arnold, who did some good work with sci-fi early in the 50s. The producer was Albert Zugsmith, who did mostly bad work forever. Can College Confidential! be any better/worse?

I think I first heard about it in the 60s ... always wondered if it would ever be shown.

Well, if it was braille (heh heh), maybe she was studying her lines.

The Satan Bug is excellent.

Here is Ms. McLeod, actually in a beautiful pose, but in the movie, her hair was cropped and the resemblance to Foster was frightening: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4172192256/nm0572783

Apparently Henreid had a say in who played the delinquents, but not his "girlfriend."

How long did it take you to come up with that?
