COMPLETELY MESSED UP! going to try this one more time. WTH is going on with the posting?? Looks like my last post is messed up too... Edited by: traceyk65 on Jun 19, 2011 10:37 PM

I'm pretty sure it's Carol Monda. Here's her webpage: http://carolmondanyc.com/tcm.html

Tikisoo said: Speaking of TV movie shows of childhood...anyone remember the *Saturday Children's International Film Festival? *I think it was CBS in the late 60's early 70's. It has a snooty sounding title, but they played cool foreign feature cartoons like The Snow Queen and weird obscure European films geared towards children. I remember that I think--did it feature Kookla, Fran and Ollie? (And BTW, what happened to the feature for quoting another's post? Did I miss something?)

Cheeta is still alive, appartently. He's in his 70's and living in the Cheeta Primate Foundation in Palm Springs.

Bette Midler used to attribute it to Belle Barth back in the 70's, but I bet it goes farther back than that. (Barth was from the 50's and 60's)

Thought of another reason I like old movies, but I'm not sure I can explain it clearly. Anyway, here goes: I like knowing the origins of things. Or maybe the backstory. I get a kick out of watching a more modern movie or show or music video even and recognizing the older film it is referencing or paying homage to, whether that homage is tongue-in-cheek or serious. I like being able to watch a Lady Gaga video with my teenage daughter and point out that she's trying (if not very successfully) to reference Metropolis or that Madonna has stolen very heavily from both Marilyn and Dietrich for her image. I like knowing that "Harlow" isn't just the name of Lionel Ritchie's grandaughter, but the name of a talented vital woman who died much too young. Or that the film Rango references just about every western ever made. It's fun. Does that make sense?

"Putting on the Ritz" from Young Frankenstein !

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Octopussy Breaking II: Electric Boogaloo Skidoo! Free Willy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry Phffft! The Adventures of Rat Pfink and Boo Boo The Adventures of Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension (not a bad movie, actually)

The writing mainly. I can't stand a movie without a single quotable line!

> {quote:title=LonesomePolecat wrote:}{quote} > LPS NOTES: > > *Say, Thats from HAMLET* > It took me teaching the play Hamlet to remember that the title of the film *Leave Her to Heaven* is a line from the play, spoken by Hamlets Ghost about what Hamlet should do about Gertrudes part in his murder. So I thought it would be fun to make an evening of all the films (I could think of) whose titles come from lines from Hamlet (the only one missing that I could think of being *Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead* which, being from 1990, is a little too recent for me). > Fun schedule, polecat! I especially like the Hamlet idea-I'm fascinated by the way Shakespeare's word usage permeates our language. And just wanted to say, even though *Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead* was made in the 1990. it's really quite funny--does the play justice (which i think goes back to the 60's) and the cast is excellent.

> {quote:title=RowanMartin68 wrote:}{quote} > would like to see her in The Devil Is a Woman (1935) Another good one. And it's availableon dvd as part of the Marlene Dietrich Glamour Collection from Universal. It's a 5-disc set w/ Morocco, Blonde Venus, The Ddevil is a Woman, Flame of New Orleans and Golden Earrings.

It exists-there's just no version w/ English subtitles. Thanks!

Quick question--I know we're not allowed to make up a movie, but what if we do a version of a movie that may not exist? I want to include Martin Roumagnac (yes, ok, I'm a little obssessed, at least it's not the uncut Mata Hari) but there is, as far as I know, no version out there that has subtitles.
