  1. I did not noticed your Japanese poster...watched it today,the first 3 minutes with Carol Lynley in a bikini made it memorable... otherwise the last minute also .Good cast though.
  2. RANDOLPH SCOTT WALLACE REID SCOTT:[on his father] He went to see all my films--not because he had a son starring in them, but because he thought I looked like Wallace Reid, his favorite actor.
  3. I will have to watch it again having memory loss like TikiSoo,saw it first run,i was not impressed,well it was not memorable.. will have to see again,maybe it was an early screening at the Film Festival.Another year i also watched Mr North at the same festival in the same 'conditions'
  4. Ronald Colman The Story of Mankind 1957 He got a Cadillac, i think for 2 days on the set or as he said 'for the work of a lifetime'
  5. Yes i remember her when i watched the movie several years ago,sultry indeed..
  6. Yes !! Zsa Zsa is so beautiful in this one...
  7. Any version of "Trial of Mary Dugan" (1929) or 1941 versions, I think because of rights issues with the authors. There was a silent version out in 1929 maybe it could resolve the rights issue?
  8. The Perfect Specimen 1937 Errol Flynn Joan Blondell Rights issue similar to Letty Lynton,i read somewhere there is many references to Don Quixote by Cervantes could it be it?I will have to watch it again, Cervantes 's copyright-if -any must be over by now.I have read the movie was shown in latin america on TNT in the 80-90's. I have a recording of it with a permanent TCM logo on the right hand corner,i watch TCM since 2003,it never played...the permanent logo was maybe showned during the 1994 era,Anybody can help about this logo thing? Could it be TCM uk?
  9. So what happened to The All American ? It was supposed to be on the 6th, a TCM premiere,it is even in the liner notes of this month bio on Tony Curtis.Very disappointed,it is 1 of the 2 Curtis's films i have not seen... i guess my july 's highlight will be something else...
  10. From Wiki Freud: The Secret Passion was eventually released in the UK by Transition Digital Media in a 1.78:1 letter-boxed, non-anamorphic 4:3 format, on a Region 2 DVD edition on April 23, 2012,movie was shown on tv but several years ago.
  11. Letty Lynton here is from imdb 'Unofficially based on Edward Sheldon and Margaret Ayer Barnes play Dishonored Lady to such a great extent that a Federal court ruled on 17th January 1936 that the film could not be seen again unless Sheldon and Barnes are given credit,or until the copyright of the play runs out in 2050! More on wiki .I have a copy,not pristine,a good movie .My favorite George Hurrell photos of Joan Crawford are from the Letty sessions,i have a very large of this one in a frame museum quality matted etc
  12. the Sign of the Ram is considered Noir at several movie sites,it is different that's all.
  13. I agree but i still believe Lewis was outstanding,i watched the film another time recently
  14. I've always wanted to see it, but never had the chance. I don't know if TCM ever shows it. It's called The World's Greatest Sinner. Yes it was showned , the score was composed by Frank Zappa
  15. between 83 to the end Dennis Hopper wanted to be the american Michael Caine i.e. 5-6 movies a year....I have seen this movie first run because of the 12 years delay for the sequel and Tobe Hopper who made the first,it should have been a miss the first time,please include me out!!
  16. There is several regional accents in the Québec province which is normal,but overall the French in Québec is better then the one from France which Anglicised everything,it is incredible the English words in France now.. and i'am not talking about 'shopping' hélas...
  17. L'HOMME PRESSÉ 1977 by Edouard Molinaro .Alain Delon Mireille Darc.During the 70,s Delon made many-too many -movies ,the gems are MR KLEIN in 1976 and this one in 1977.It was remade in 2005 -with his son Anthony in the same role, and in 2018.I have not seen the 2 remakes.A very special film about the modern world,to be in a hurry all the time, the pleasure of a collector in reality is owning.Delon's character do not like to waste time,saying a pregnancy is too long,7 months should be enough as the baby is complete !! And i'am not mentioning anything about his lovemaking! A great film.8/10
  18. I watched it last night without any expectations,,I was pleasantly surprised,a very good film & good acting.
  19. IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY 1947 by Roger Hamer with Googie Withers.Excellent drama about an escaped convict going back to see his former fiancée after many years,you root for the 2 protagonists,very good film,good cast.No violence.From Ealing Studios. 7/10
  20. LE COLONEL CHABERT 1994 by Yves Angelo with Gerard Depardieu Fanny Ardant Fabrice Luchini.From a story by Honoré de Balzac.Set in Paris 1817 a colonel assumed dead for many years comes back to meet his remarried wife.Very good drama. 7.5/10
  21. VIVA LA VIE 1984 by Claude Lelouch with Jean Louis Trintignant Michel Piccoli Charlotte Rampling Anouk Aimée.Great cast,i have seen about 15 films by Lelouch, a strange story line with sci-fi elements ,not for everybody. 6.5/10
  22. He wanted to be in Klute but Jane Fonda wanted Donald Sutherland but it was in 1971 After the stiff of Scarecrow in 1973 Hackman mainly concentrated on acting for money, turning down such films as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Network (1976) for roles in films like March or Die (1977) and Lucky Lady (1975) that offered him fatter paychecks.He was the first choice to play Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) he was also offered a chance to direct it. One of the lead roles in Network (1976)the lead role of Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)the leading role in Sorcerer (1977) that went to Roy Scheider,the role of Dr. Berger in Ordinary People (1980)) he said'I didn't turn it down, we couldn't make a deal.'Turned down the lead roles in Jaws (1975), and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
  23. Well we get the All American !!! 1 of the 2 films i have not seen by him,this the highlight for me!!! Thank you TCM
  24. Not Gene, for his first divorce maybe …. but paycheck was the incentive,you would never believe what he turned down...
  25. I' am a Gene Hackman completist -i'am missing only Banning-his swan song was his worst : MOOSEPORT (sorry i cannot insert the ' great' poster).He cashed his check and retired.Since Scarecrow was a stiff in 73,Hackman always selected his roles with the value of the paycheck coming with it,he passed on many good ones but no more art films for him as a result: a rich guy with many stinkers, unfortunately...
