There are different Yorks. They are spelled differently. There is no real continuity between the two characters. Why on earth they used names differentiated only by an ending "e" is beyond me.

Chocolate!
MissG:
I'm no fan of cats but if it is going to watch westerns with you then maybe a name like "Hondo" fits.

In 2001 they used an instrumental piece, "Dark Spanish Symphony" by Antonio Badalamenti. It was a great piece and really fit what they needed. The beauty of it is that if needed they might loop a little of it to extend it if they needed to. It can't always be done with a vocal piece. However, I remember how with the vocals they would try and match some of the visuals or those being shown to the lyrics which is also very effective. Either way works for me.

Never heard of him.

"Time Limit" is a first rate drama and I recently saw "Fixed Bayonets." Not noirs but good Basehart.
-
I don't even see it on his imdb listing.

Basehart did have a dog. Though he didn't do much with it. He did pet it once or twice but mainly used it as an alarm.
I have not seen "Reign of Terror" but there is a point, well two, where you do see the fear that lies buried.In spite of all his brilliance and earlier boldness when it comes to the end he runs scared.
If you saw my group picture than you know cute is not a word that often is used to describe me. I can write cute at times though.

Patric Knowles. He was also Ivor in "How Green Was My Valley."

Is that all it takes? I'm in trouble.

Is your trip still on schedule for next month or so?

Hi MissG:
What makes Basehart sympathetic for you? I had just the opposite reaction. Any back story that might have been provided may have helped in that regard but I lost that may have come two minutes into the film. During the finale I was pulling for the police.
I do admire him for doing his own medical work.
Just curious.

I watched Richard Basehart in "He Walked By Night." As police procedurals go this has to be among the best. Or at least it seems the most detailed. Basehart is the criminal the police are after. They have little to work with but methodical work (and a lucky break, to me) helps win the day.
Basehart is tough and not afraid to do what he needs to do. My only problem with the movie is that we really learn very little about his character. Most of what we do know is what the police think they know.
Everyone's favorite, Whit Bissel, shows up to play man Basehart plays for a sucker. Jack Webb plays forensic scientist and even smiles once or twice.
I enjoyed it but I couldn't help but think something was missing. Some over-the top narration didn't help but it was not a problem.
Maybe I'm missing something.

I watched "Chisum" the other night. One of the things I enjoy in the movie is the relationship between Ben and Duke. Even though they are employer and employee they get along great, have fun and take turns mumbling at each other.

I don't think it petty as much as any interest in one may lead people to the other.

And more marathons to come in January. "Our Gang" on the 5th. Laurel and Hardy on the 12th.
That is a very good point about checking the times on premieres, especially short films. I feel victim to that when they premiered L&H's "Laughing Gravy." They had it listed as a 20 minute film when it actually was 31 minutes. So many of their shorts were two reels that may have been the info given to them. I get to correct that next month.

"Rio Bravo" is nothing to write home about and except for "The Man From Monterey" (which I am not sure of ) I have all the others but I'll be here for the chat and Ro's cookies.

You should have been at my house when CA and Mo baked this week. I think there is still a fog from the flour. Ah, the spoon.
If you're going to watch it again let me know and we'll go over it some.
Smelling chocolate chip cookies I think.

There you are!!
"3 Godfathers" may be my second least favorite Ford western. It's not that it's bad but it is a bit long. The first half is pretty exciting but after Wayne is on his own it tends to drift. I'm not sure the word I'm looking for but looses some steam.
A chance to talk Ford with you and Sir Francis and the others - can't wait.
-
>BTW, we do not watch any silent or foreign language films. Never have, never will.
That's too bad. You miss a lot of great stuff.
-
That's not a point it's a complaint. Did you ever think that the problem may have more to do with the right's holder than with TCM?
But we certainly get the idea you're unhappy. Over three or four threads we get the idea.

Talk about a hack.

vallo answered that for you under your original post. NBC owns the rights to show it. As long as they have the fights no other network in the US can show it.

"The Story of Mankind" may be among the worst movies ever but if you are curious to see a film that has Hedy Lamarr and the Marx Brothers (though not together) then you can chalk one up for being curious.
Also a new Jean Arthur picture for me, "Public Menace." And for good measure a late Laurel and Hardy feature, "Air Raid Wardens." Not great but it has been years since I've seen it. Besides you never know who is going to make a little cameo. ("Great Guns" had a short appearance by Alan Ladd before anyone knew who Alan Ladd was. "The Dancing Masters' brought along a young Robert Mitchum.)

No. Rod Serling wrote it but I see where I left some confusion in my different posts. Sorry.
I do think there is a similarity in the way they write those portions of their scripts.

Well, is he a war **** or a draft dodger? And of course he can't be conservative he has to be a rabid right winger.
