That was the old days, back before large numbers of serial killers lived in this country. Every family had an odd Uncle Charlie back then, but that didn't mean he killed people. It just meant he was odd ol' Uncle Charlie.

Hi film and prince, I just listed all the Universal-distributed films of 1943. Some are shorts and cartoons. The major companies are listed on every main IMDB movie-title page, and it is fun to look up all the films that the major studios made. There were many thousands of them. Oh how I wish they could dig all of those films out of the vaults and rent them all to TCM. The airing of each and every one, just one time each, could go on for many years. Ahhh, daydreaming again.

Swarm, The (1978) Oh No! Bees!! Aggg..... Bees!! No, No, not Bees!! Help, help, Bees! Ohhhhhh, Bees!! Not Bees, please...... please NOT BEES! How about Harold LLoyd instead? Or maybe some early Vivian Leigh films? Or Jean Harlow in RED DUST??

There is something I find fascinating about old horror and sci-fi movies..... the fact that some of the way-out plots, such as Frankenstein and Island of Lost Souls are actually being experimented with today. We already have genes transferred from one type of plant or animal to another, also frozen people (embryos). With frozen embryos of twins, we can have one born now and the other saved for 10 years so when he is born he will look 10 years younger than his own twin. And the military experimenting with "invisibility cloaks". Plus the great Euro Tunnel wth Richard Dix. The machine used to dig the round tunnel in that film looked just like the kind used to dig the English Channel Tunnel. And of course, "Woman in the Moon" (Germany, 1929). Just 12 years after that film was made, Germany was dropping rocket bombs on London. So, we are entering an era in which some of the old science fiction stories, and horror stories, can come true.

I also thought RO was the moderator, but I looked it up on the internet several years ago. No film clip was available then, but different websites mentioned the interview and said it was independently produced by some other interviewer who, apparently, was a young movie actor who got all those girls together. I do wish TCM would show it again since it's really good. If you use this search term on Google, you can find out more about it, including a transcript: Scott Glenn "ladies of film noir"

Here is a clip from the rare interview: It has a TCM logo and promo at the end of it, but not during it. FILM NOIR ARCHIVES website says this: TCM LADIES OF FILM NOIR (1998) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52cbe1mQCy8

Was Marie Windsor part if that group?? I saw a show either on TCM or old AMC, about 15 years ago, and it was a long interview with several old film noir women. I think it was independently produced by some guy, and for some reason it has never been shown since then. It was a great group interview.

Chuck Berry.

I like both versions of Cape Fear. They are classic "stalking" films, with the actors, cars, and clothes fitting their own era. Both stalkers are frightening. This is one of the few re-makes that I like.

I agree. Both pre-codes (with lots of dames) and noirs (with lots of dames).

I read part of THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS book to find out how the animal experiments took place, since DNA and genetic mixing of genes was not known in the 1930s, and sexual cross-breeding would not work, and I found the term used in the book was vivisection with chemical and electral experimentation used too. This was the 19th Century term for strange and bizarre medical experiments on living patients, and this was the term used for living-patient experiments in Nazi Germany. WIKI: Human vivisection Unit 731, a biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army, undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).[15] In Mindanao, Moro Muslim prisoners of war were subjected to various forms of vivisection by the Japanese, in many cases without anesthesia.[16][17] Nazi human experimentation involved medical experiments on live subjects, such as vivisections by Josef Mengele,[7][not in citation given] usually without anesthesia.[18] Vivisection without anesthesia was an execution method employed by the Khmer Rouge at the Tuol Sleng extermination camp.[19] Only seven people survived the four-year run of the prison before its liberation by the Vietnamese army in January 1979.[19] It is possible that human vivisection was practiced by some Greek anatomists in Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE. Celsus in De Medicina and the church leader Tertullian state that Herophilos of Alexandria vivisected at least 600 live prisoners.[20]

Yes, that's her. She was the Panther Woman!

Her first film was made in 1932 and her last in 1938. Her first film was rather bizarre.

She made movies only in the 1930s

In the 1950s, several clever men at old-film distribution companies, which were very small back then, thought of "syndicating" old films to local stations, back in the days when the national New York networks went off the air at 10 pm. The distributors rented silent films and sound films (through the late 1940s, and many from the 1930s) to the local TV stations. So I got to see many classic old films when I was a kid and a teenager, such as SVENGALI and THE DIVORCEE (1930). Some of these films were rare un-censored pre-codes, and I understood some of the romance references that were banned from regular modern TV shows. I soon learned that a scene from outside an apartment of someone pulling down a shade, or a night-time cutaway from a man and woman on a sofa to a violent thunderstorm meant "they did it". I also learned that a code term for doing it in the early 1930s was "something musta happened". See Joan Crawford in RAIN ("You BET something happened!") meaning that she and the preacher did it (although I think this particular film was banned from early TV) I also saw some old classic films at College film club showings, and some of the early "Art Theater" showings of the early 1960s. There were a few old-film fan clubs in big cities, even before we came along. I saw BIRTH OF A NATION on "The Late Show" on TV around 1959. The narrator of the introduction pointed out that this was just about the only surviving "factual" media representation of the way is was in the South during the decade of "Reconstruction" after the War. Of course, no one is allowed to say that on TV today, because today we have a new type of "Hays Code".

Mr. Osborne said a couple of weeks ago that in the old days, just about every film actor and star looked different from one another, but today most of them look like half a dozen other look-alikes. He said he couldn't tell many of today's actors apart, and I agree.

I don’t get it. So many young people today know nothing about the past media stars. By the time I was 15 years old in the 1950s, I started a collection of early 20th Century 78 RPM Opera records and folk music, and Country music/bluegrass songs by people such as the original Carter Family. By the time I was 20 I knew and had recordings by early 20th Century musicians who Bob Dylan and Joan Baez copied in their first record albums in 1963. The Talking Blues, 1926, John Greenway: The New Talking Blues, John Greenway: Compare those to Bob Dylan’s New York Talking Blues, and Talking World War III Blues from 1963. A famous tune stolen from A.P. Carter, which he wrote in the 1920s, was used as the tune in THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND, in the 1960s.

Superstars?? Today?? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

LOL, ha, ha, ha, ha..... A good one.

YES AND YES !

One major source says she was born in 1884, but another major source says she was born in 1885. A minor source says it was 1886. 1884 seems to be the year most listed for her.
