  1. When I was a kid there was a sports reporter on a local TV station. He disappeared and I later began seeing him in movies and on TV in bit parts. His name was Owen Bush and here he is:
  2. I do not know what triggered this memory. Maybe it was the mention of posts relating to beach activities coupled with a reference to Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. The memory is of a cartoon which appeared in the New Yorker in the 1960s or early 1970s. The cartoon was likely by Feiffer or Silverstein. I have tried in vain to find it online. A pale, skinny young man has gone to the beach and spots a lovely girl on a blanket reading a book. He tries to engage her by commenting on her reading Proust. She tells him to "blow" after which she races off with a young and tanned student of George Jewett or Charles Atlas. The young man dejectedly declares "It's going to be a long hot summer."
  3. A full-throated soprano scream it was.
  4. That is a different mystery than the old man Sepiatone is stalking.
  5. 3. Pat Garrett 4. Belle Starr
  6. Oh I know there have been lots of margarine commercials and I have suffered through all of them. I did not describe all of my search efforts but I tried the ones you mentioned as well as others like Imperial and Blue Bonnet. I mentioned Chiffon because I actually found a commercial with Mother Nature talking to some hapless customer in a supermarket.
  7. I have tried to Google this and all I get searching "actress making margarine commercials" is the Chiffon stuff (not nice to fool mother nature). Terrance has really given lots of clues and it seems like the answer would come to mind but apparently not.
  8. Lawyers, Judges and legal procedures generally strike me as being the most unrealistically depicted matters in movies and on television. There are a few exceptions to this, Anatomy of a Murder and Better Call Saul to name a couple.
  9. An explanation might well cause a bluenose nanny to sweep in and delete this thread
  10. It is not only cold which can cause that. I visit to a urologist can leave one with two navels
  11. Well, this makes me question my own answer. Upon reflection, I am not at all sure Piper Laurie was ever supposed to be in the movie. She and Cliff Robertson starred in the Playhouse 90 production on TV, but that does not mean Lee Remick "replaced" her in the movie anymore than Jack Lemmon "replaced" Cliff Robertson. Clearly, Remick replaced Lana Turner in Anatomy of a Murder. I guess I will go ahead and accept your gift of the thread just to keep it going. The movie I have in mind is a post Civil War western. The lead character is a sheriff in a New Mexico town who is called upon to arrest an old friend suspected of a bank robbery who has newly arrived in town. Name the movie and the lead actor.
  12. 1. Bat Masterson 2. Wyatt Earp 8. Annie Oakley 9.Wild Bill Hickock 10. Calamity Jane
  13. Please consider me in the same category as Princess and Lavender.
  14. Thenryb would like to pass the thread to someone who does pictures.
  15. 2. Jane Wyatt 3. Raymond Burr 5. Tom Poston 6. Ann B. Davis (really???) 9. Rock Hudson 10. Dinah Shore
  16. The movie was Days of Wine and Roses and the actress, Piper Laurie.
  17. That is it. The thread is yours, Terrence.
  18. Yep. The days of writing ones name in the snow are gone, along with sleeping 8 hours at a stretch. Some of have to be satisfied with being able to clear our shoetops.
  19. Another fine description of this episode. Watching these particular episodes as well as some older episodes of this series has led me to the conclusion that I much prefer John McEntire as the wagon master to Ward Bond. He brings a certain subtlety to the character which is a contrast to the emoting of Bond. I have not yet heard him yell "Wagons Ho!". Another thing I have noticed in watching these episodes is the blatant racism which seems primarily confined to one sex depending on the sex of the story subject. If it is an Native American or Mexican man, the men are the primary xenophobes with the women exhibiting more tolerance. With this show, it is the women who are narrow minded and judgmental, mostly it seems because Caroline continues to wear moccasins.
  20. I am sure he has but no recollection of when. I think he was RO's favorite actor.
  21. I second that comment. I especially appreciated his self-analysis of why many men do not like watching man on man sexual behavior. I laughed at his description of preadolescent male behavior in school bathroom. I recall competitions to see who could stand furthest back from the urinal and still reach it, which resulted in so many misses that the principal came into the classroom, excused the girls, talked about the odor in the boys bathroom, and exhorted all of us to stop such competitions. Also amusing was the way he described the behavioral changes when we reached puberty, although back in my day "f*g" was a slang term for a cigarette, and homosexuals were called "queers". I think this "self-analysis" rings true with many of us.
