one of the all-time icons! Clara Bow next: Everyone has heard of this movie, but very few saw it: CHUBASCO (1968)

MA and PA KETTLE BACK ON THE FARM (1951) next: a movie that is a feast for the eyes

The Duke! John Wayne next: iconic for the way he or she dressed

Let's try a new game. I will name three movie characters. Tell us who played them, and challenge us with three more characters. I will get the ball rolling: Mr. Murdstone Sir Guy of Gisbourne Wolf von Frankenstein

ABOVE SUSPICION (1943) next: divorce

the great J. T. Walsh next: ARNOLD (1973)

Charles Bronson next: born in Japan

Dana Andrews Lloyd Nolan next: THE ESCAPE ARTIST (1982) again, two persons. One is fine, bonus points for two!

Mr. Millstone, I've always been fascinated by this movie. This startling buffet of sexually deviant behavior succeeds on a certain level. There is something for everyone to get excited, or disgusted about! Regarding Mr. Mineo, in the pool scene, he appears to be "dressing upward" rather than left, right, or downwards. How did they/he get away with that?

The audience is stumped! May we request a clue?

BILLY JACK (1971) next: sharing a bottle

Phoebe Cates next: parents were in the biz

Elizabeth Taylor next: saucy

The cheerful Van Johnson next: operatic singing voice

When I was a little kid in Brooklyn in the late 1960's- early 70's my older bro and I and would occasionally make plans with our dad (who worked at 42nd St. and 6th Ave) to meet him at his work and then go to a flick (or two). Within 4 blocks of his job, there were at least 50 movie theaters. Sometimes we'd see dad's choice (e.g. THE GODFATHER, PAPILLON, VANISHING POINT) and that was usually fine. Sometimes older films (GUNS OF NAVARONE, THE HAUNTING I remember well). My bro and I loved horror movies so for us the highlights of those days were THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, WILLARD, HANDS OF THE RIPPER, etc. The double feature of HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN/SCARS OF DRACULA was a great day. One film that particularly stands out in memory was TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972). In the theater entrance was a kiosk with a TV showing a loop of the preview. That was extremely high tech at the time, first time we ever saw that. There were machines spewing greasy "fog" all over. There was also wall decor that resembled razor blades. The movie did not disappoint, it was one of our favorites!

Lionel Atwill next: rabbits or a rabbit

I was of the opinion that most of the complaints about the TCM changes were inconsequential. Until I saw Eddie Muller's intro to CLOUDBURST. In the background behind him, are an empty ice bucket and an empty cocktail shaker. Behind him to his left is a large glass filled almost to the brim with clear liquid. The glass contains no lemon twist or olives (indicating that it might be a martini), no onions (as in a gibson), no stirrer, no nothing. It looks like a glass of water. Hard-boiled Eddie Muller drinking water on a Saturday night film noir intro? What is TCM coming to ? Now I'm worried.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (1977) "Gimme two!" next: late snack

Only she could take a nothing day and suddenly make it worthwhile. MARY TYLER MOORE next: ECHO PARK (1985)

NIGHT MONSTER (1942) next: cheesecake
