    Warner Archive has released "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" on blu-ray with a transfer that is dazzling. Not only are Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland great in their cat-and-mouse games, but the detail in their costumes shines as never before--with proper 3-strip registration.

    But Flynn is a revelation, a perfect movie star, who also hits subtle and various notes as an actor. I believe this title is underrated --as is his acting in general.

     

    I think it was OLIVIA HAVILLAND who described a late screening of the film in which BETTE DAVIS was in attendance and she remarked to her friend OLIVIA, that she hadn't realized all those years past that ERROL was "really goot".   I believe they did not get on well during production.

    Danielle Darrieux

    Was perfect for her part in FIVE FINGERS.  Directed by Joe Mankiewicz I think.

    This is arguably my favourite James Mason film in which he has the lead role.

    Arguably, I agree.  JAMES MASON was always good, probably my favorite British actor.   Whatever he was in, he elevated, a superior talent.

    James Mason

    Was so wonderful, HE is "oft-overlooked".    I consider him one of the bravest actors of his era.  He stars in a wonderful film I saw twice on TCM:   5 FINGERS...

    The zither music is so unique and good that I love it.

    It was a hit record when the film was new (before the Billboard Top 40 era).   I had it on 78 (maybe still) and I have a CD of Instrumental Gold... which includes it. 

    The film was directed by CAROL REED - OLIVER REED's uncle... GREAT FILM!   REED also directed ODD MAN OUT (awesome) and OLIVER! - which I love!

    somebody in the throng had a transistor radio playing this tune .  .  .

    Your whole memory is wonderful... I'm a few years younger, I turned 2 years old November 1, 1963.  So, I wasn't even two that summer...What a glorious summer that must have been.  That's a favorite recording of NAT KING COLE.  Gorgeous.

    Here's a link to a list of a whole bunch of them.  I'm sorry to say I've only seen one or two of them.

    I own OSSESSIONE (1943) on DVD.  It's one of my favorite films.

    Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud   (Elevator to the Gallows ),  a 1958 film directed by Louis Malle.  I thought it was really good,  in fact, after seeing  it on Noir Alley   I got the Criterion DVD of it.

    One of the reasons to like EDDIE MULLER...

    I read that several of Joan's lovers in her later years (which supposedly included a one-night stand with Marilyn Monroe) complained about Crawford's bad breath.  Perhaps dentures were to blame. 

    And I always thought it was 'cause I insisted on doing my own hair/makeup.

    Ray Davies & Co. might not have been The Original Garage Band

    It could be argued stylistically, but the term really was appended long after "garage rock" had existed and had more to do with production and distribution to distinguish records of the same era.
