AAAAKKKK!!!
I'm watching "Double Indemnity" on the Sleuth channel. Made in 1973! Terrible! Absolutely awful! Same dialogue, same lines, word for word. It looks like a comedy.

We are such wonderful people.

Lol, we get so many questions about these movies, you don't suppose they were the most popular movies ever made, huh?
-
?For Heaven?s Sake? (child waiting to be born)
?The Bluebird? with Shirley Temple (children waiting to be born)
-
Yes, I forgot about that one. I forgot the title too. What was it?
-
I saw some of these in an arcade in New York many years ago. There was a rear-screen projector in the large box that looked like a juke box.
I don't know how the machine figured out how to load each specific film, since it had a long list of films it could show.
-
Most asked-about movies:
?My Six Loves? (lady finds a bunch of kids)
?If a Man Answers? (dog training manual)
?You Never Can Tell? (man dog, lady horse)
?Bird of Paradise? (lady jumps in volcano)

I don't know when it will be broadcast again. It usually turns up every couple of months.
Do you have any questions we can answer?

Dang! Double Tricked!
You win.
Drat!

I named the movie, "The Letter", and you said "no". But it wasn't "no", it was "yes", I was right.
We'll get you for that.

that sure beats this crappy film that's on now, "Stand By Me". What junk. I watched about the first five minutes of kids cursing and that was enough for me.

You played a trick on us.
Howard Joyce READS the letter that Bette Davis wrote:
See:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Letter_(1940_film)
Leslie: You see, I thought none of you would believe me if I admitted that he'd come there at my invitation. You see, I was planning a surprise for Robert's birthday and I'd heard he wanted a new gun, and oh, well I'm so dreadfully stupid about sporty things and, well I thought I'd talk to Geoff about it and ask him to order one for me.
Howard: Perhaps you've forgotten what's in the letter. [reading] Robert will be away for the night. I absolutely must see you. I am desperate, and, if you don't come, I won't answer for the consequences. Don't drive up. Leslie. This letter places an entirely different complexion on the whole case. It'll put the prosecution on the track of - suspicions which have entered nobody's mind. I won't tell you what I personally thought when I read the letter. It's the duty of counsel to defend his client, not to convict her even in his own mind. I don't want you to tell me anything but what is needed to save your neck. They can prove that Hammond came to your house at your urgent invitation. I don't know what else they can prove, but if the jury comes to the conclusion that you didn't kill Hammond in self-defense...

Bette Davis in "The Letter". She wrote a letter to her boyfriend saying her husband would be gone all night, telling the boyfriend to be at her place at a certain hour, and saying that she was desperate.
-
And that was the scenario for just the first hour of the movie.

Pepe is the most boring long movie I've ever seen.
I've been trying to watch it over the past several nights but I couldn't stand it anymore.
Scenario:
Oh, my horse, I love my horse,
Oh, my horse is sold, I love my horse.
I'm going to get my horse back.
Ok, here I am in Hollywood, seeing a lot of very old has-been actors, but where is my horse?
Ok, there is my horse.
I sure love my horse.
Sing, dance, sing.
Oh, I think I'll go see my horse again,
and see some more old actors.
Oh, I love my horse and now I have
a girfriend too.
Sing, dance.
Ok, back to my horse, have I told
you about my horse?
La, la, la, I got my horse back, la, la, la
A 30 minute TV plot stretched out to 3 hours.

Whenever I see a costume like that, I wonder why some of the girls who attend the Academy Awards ceremony don't show up in something like that.
Year after year I've seen the academy awards red carpet parade, and I've seen so many girls wearing such ugly dresses. I don't get it.

Bette Davis' letter in "The Letter".

YAY!!!

It is my opinion that Orson Welles made his voice sound deeper and more menacing in this film by slightly slowing down the playback of his recorded dialogue. This has the effect of giving him a deeper voice.
I studied several segments in the film and while Joan Fonatine?s dialogue seems to be normal and spoken while she was being filmed and recorded, Welles? dialogue seems to be lip-synched.
Watch it and study it and see if you notice it.
If I?m right, then he recorded his dialogue separately, before the filming of each scene. During the filming of the scenes, his recorded dialogue was played back at a slightly slow speed, and in a way where he could hear it and lip-synch during filming and Joan Fontaine could hear it and respond to it in a timely manner.
I?ve never seen such a thing in any other film, and this seems like one of Welles? famous cinema tricks.

I didn't remember the name of the house, but I think Thornhill might be on Thorn Hill.
Anyway, all those rich old British guy's houses are on some kind of hill. -
I just love the whole sequence where the lady is playing Mozart?s Turkish March on the harpsichord at the party, while Heathcliff and Cathy look at each other. Wasn?t that wonderful!! Then Cathy realizes her sister-in-law is in love with Heathcliff. They didn?t need any words. Norma Desmond was right!

When did you fall in love with the movies?

I first fell in love with classic movies when I was sentenced to three life terms on Devil?s Island. We had movie night every Saturday night. I learned from some of the movies how to escape from the Island and I did.
