Crack in the World 1965 Paramount Directed by Andrew Marton , Dana Andrews Janette Scott Kieron Moore .Scientists witness the evidence that blowing an A bomb in the middle of the earth to get magna is not a good idea....Dana Andrews was busy in 1965 he made 8 films ! Janette Scott was at her peak then,a very beautiful woman,she married Mel Torme the next year and gave up her career. She should have kept it.Filmed in Spain (Madrid) 96 minutes 6.5/10

I just revived the GG A COMPLETE PACKAGE thread in the favorites section,it was a popular thread

Since Gloria is popular here I thought of bringing this thread again

I watched another one last night,this one was shown only once on TCM,I will post it later

REDSKIN 1929 SILENT Paramount Directed by Victor Schertzinger Richard Dix. Last silent of Richard Dix,with Julie Carter Jane Novak.Beautiful film.The film is regarded highly by historians for presenting sympathetic portrayals of Native Americans in the silent film era. The action happening on the white man territory is shot in black & white,while the action on the Indian's one is in Technicolor,75% of the film is shot in beautiful Technicolor-2 strip I think.A very good film.82 minutes 7.5/10 Extra info from IMDB :This was actually an accident.The financial backers for the film ran out of money to spend on the then very expensive color film and ordered the filmmakers to immediately switch to black-and-white. Upon hearing this, the filmmakers realized that all the scenes at the Native American village had been shot.

The Million Eyes of Sumuru 1967 UK distributed in USA by AIP Directed by Lindsay Shonteff. George Nader Shirley Eaton Klaus Kinski Wilfrid Hyde-White and ...Frankie Avalon ( who has top billing but not much screen time-maybe it was cut). A megalomaniac woman wants to kill all male political leaders of the world and replacing them by her army of women. British Intelligence(!) wants Nader and Avalon to find and destroy her. I watched this film for Eaton ( The Gold Painted Girl of Goldfinger),instead of being the sultry blonde as she usually is, in this turkey she has jet black hair.This is another( bad) supposed to be spy movie.Avalon seems unease acting without a bathing suit but the second lead actress Patti Chandler was in several of his beach movies so he was not too much lost by the scenery.The print I have seen was about 70 minutes out of 95.I will try to locate a full print anyway...Abysmal 4.50/10 A Contender for TCM Underground perhaps.

The Thing with Two Heads 1972 AIP Pictures Directed by Lee Frost Ray Milland Roosevelt Grier.Late in his career Ray Milland was doing a lot of things for the money as he said but he also knew he was no longer a leading man. This movie is very funny in a way.A bigot doctor researching head transplants(successful with a 2 headed gorilla-gorilla suit of course) is planning to try it on humans but something happens and he must be the guinea pig.This is not a comedy but they are many funny lines by Milland and others,the atmosphere on the set must have been very good...The ending is great with a very appropriate song. A perfect fit for TCM Underground 91 minutes 5.5 /10

Bad Blonde aka the Flanagan Boy 1953 Lippert Productions & Hammer Films Directed by Reginald Le Borg .Barbara Payton Tony Wright. Film noir with Payton as the Femme fatale convincing her lover to kill her husband.Standard fare material Payton looks good in various dressses and swimming suits.81 minutes .6/10

The Garden of The Finzi-Contini 1970 Italy Directed by Vittorio De Sica.Dominique Sanda Fabio Testi Helmut Berger. One of the last films directed by De Sica and one of his best.Set in Italy in 1938 the ordeal of a Jewish Italian family when the racial laws are imposed in the country by Mussolini .Beautiful cinematography.Oscar best foreign film 94 minutes 8.5/10

Abismos De Pasion 1954 Mexico aka Wuthering Heights Directed by Luis Bunuel with Jorge Mistral Irasema Dillian.Very good adaptation of the Emily Bronte's classic book,more faithful to the story,very good acting and direction,another good one by Bunuel. 90 minutes 8/10

Brelan d'As 1952 France Aka Full House Directed by the great Henri Verneuil Michel Simon Raymond Rouleau.Three separate crime stories with three different detectives :Simon impersonnate Maigret his story screenplay is by Simenon.The first story with Rouleau is the best one,Rouleau is fantastic with witty,snappy dialogue, a real joy. Remastered 2020 4 k 118 minutes 7/10

Well I noticed many things in the last year or two, several posters are getting tired of the 'lecturing' (I may have not the right term) about the race issue.The other night Mr Karger and Mrs Stewart were presenting Citizen Kane,they were mentionning the original annoted screenplay was available at the museum there and she mentionned the screenplay of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was there also. I like the movie with Gregory Peck very much, but I feel this was not necessary comment regarding Citizzen Kane,we all know what To Kill a Mockingbird'is about.This is my opinion.

September 29 at 4;30 am Chattahoochee (1989) I have seen it first run,if i remember well it was very good. Gary Oldman is a great actor & great cast .Sorry for the bold type...

Again not shown in Canada -rights issue it was never shown.

Do we have to have a reason to dislike a film ? I'am not into musicals at all but i have seen many because I complete certain actors. Do I have to explain why I dislike them? Why boring other pollsters about an essaie on film,to each is own,if somebody like to explain details fine for them,,I do not read reviews anywhere anyway'for fear of spoilers, When I Review a film here on the board it is 2 lines I have no interest to be a columnist on film.And I do not like highcaps.I do not like coconut the fruit (not the film titled coconuts) since childhood ,it is very popular but I cannot explain why I do not like it,sorry.

He used his hypnotic eyes to swindle them for a lot of money...He was Ginger's boy toy, he died only in 2014

I'am sure you are right,i thought all these years that he was mad because they runned out of popcorn....

Sunday, September 26 at 1 pm I Married a Witch with Veronica Lake Fredric March It played earlier this month it is a great comedy by René Clair, great tempo no wasted time.March was too old for the part (McCrea passed on it) Lake is so good in it with good direction & good casting she was proving she could be a great actress The chemistry was great between the 2 stars their hate of each other was not apparent at all!

Star Wars :i I have seen- the first 3 on their first run,even the first a second time well it was in Hollywood...but no interest about anything regarding the whole thing,the toys,the conventions the other films etc same thing with StarTrek .Went to see the first film when it was released a real bore if i remember well.No interest in the tv series at all,.l hear a lot of 'Trekkies knows all the dialogue by heart well to each his own .

i remember very well i was 16 at the time somebody in the UK -i think-killed somebody in the street coming out of the theater, i remember my feelings then when i saw the fillm and it could disturb vulnerable people the wrong way

My,my...yes it was about Naked Alibi but for your info The Glass Wall was played only 2 times before the next 2 Noir Alley showings

I agree with everything and kudos for : 'I was also never a fan of the Three Stooges, and their ubiquity on TV has made me loathe them even more. '

Yes Alain Delon is in my top 5 for most beautiful leading man in the movies,he has made many good films,he has an extensive filmography,a varied one.I think he dies in 17 of them (as he made many action films) if not more, he will be 86 in november,he was a great pal of JeanPaul Belmondo who died 2 weeks ago.

Watched it on TCM last year i think, let's just say it did not aged well....

There is one by Mcfarland came out in 2011 softcover,i have to find if a hard over version exist,i collect McFarland books in hc only.It is by Robert Lentz.Ithink.There is also the book by Peter Turner but it is about her last years I did not read it-I have seen the film though.
