FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 With all those swatters, that's obviously a scene from "The Fly". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Could be Marjorie White and Frank Albertson in ?Just Imagine?. Looks like they are in the gondola of a blimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks, I did so with your help. I didn?t know Albertson?s name. I thought the scene looked a little familiar. The guy is in some kind of uniform, such as that of a steward on an airliner, and the curved art deco set reminded me of a blimp scene from ?Just Imagine?. Also, that looks like the New York skyline in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 After reading the synopsis, this looks like an interesting movie! Message was edited by: scsu1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Some of the plot elements are a little silly, but it?s still an interesting movie because of its prediction of things of the future, even though it was made in 1930. Some predictions came true and some did not. We finally did get some rockets to Mars (although without people in them). Some people today do take pills rather than drink alcohol. The baby vending machine is similar to the surrogate mother phenomenon. Blimps are coming back in fashion. Numbers have partly replaced names (such as yours) on the internet. Tall buildings have been built in New York. There are more personal airplanes now, although there aren?t many personal helicopters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 One of the benefits of being in these forums is picking up information on movies I've never heard of. Thanks for the analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I learn a lot here too. Here's the scene in sound and motion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I was waiting for the little flies to yell "Help me, Help me (to get out of this film)" Frank Albertson had a small role in Psycho as the lecherous millionaire in the beginning of the movie.

FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 >Frank Albertson had a small role in Psycho as the lecherous millionaire in the beginning of the movie. You mean the older man at the beginning who has all the cash? I didn't know that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'd like to know how to upload a photo. Does it require special software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 It's very easy. Use this code: <img src=> Place the photo's url address in-between the = equal sign and the right arrow. Make sure there are no spaces between the equal sign and the url address and none between the url address and the right arrow. To find the url address, place your screen cursor over the photo, then right click your mouse and click on "properties". The address will then be listed. Copy that and place it in-between the equal sign and the right arrow, then post that to the blank "message" box on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezebel38 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Metz - I like your posts, they are fun. I try not to include myself in each game, so that others can post first, but sometimes it is hard when it is a picture of one of my favorite actors, like Ronald Colman. I like actors and actresses from the 1920's and 30's best; if you post more photo's from the 1950's or 60's I would probably be stumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 No need to stop, Metz. If I know the people and the movie right away, I don't post the answer because I want to give someone else a chance. But if I don't know them, I try to figure them out. That photo of Fay Wray looked familiar, but it didn't look like her. You gave me a clue and that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
