I'm doing such a disservice to Lombard not seeing her on the big screen with an appreciative crowd. You'll love it! The audiences so far have been enjoying her immensely.

molo14 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi Rohanaka, Hi Molo....I am looking forward to getting to this one maybe by the end of the week. I haven't had time to get to it as yet, but I remember it from highschool and would like to see the film. Will let you know when I get it watched. Great! I really liked it. Let me know if the sound seemed uneven to you. I also wanted to tell you as a friend that someone on here is giving you REALLY bad advice (I won't say just who, but his name rhymes w/ "tank crimes"+) Thanks for the warning. I think I know who you mean. Not a good idea at all...We are already overdue for one hanging and you seem like such a nice guy...+ uh oh, I'll try and keep my nose clean round these parts. Frank I think they are going to get you sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance not asking anyone for their help. *Rio Bravo* is one of my favorite films. I know Hawks didn't care for Will Kane going around asking for help in *High Noon.* I'll be watching *High Noon* soon, a double feature with *Rio Bravo* is not a bad idea. I might just watch them on consecutive nights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molo14 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi MissGoddess, I'm glad you enjoyed your date. I really love visiting New York but I don't live there. Getting a chance to see classic films on the big screen with an audience would be a major perk though. Many of the people I know that live or have lived there and are not native New Yorkers do seem to get tired of it after a while. I just think it would be exciting to live there.

I'm glad to see you have the strength of a native Noo Yawker not to be beaten down. Sorry 'bout my town; it can be daunting. :-( But I hope it's given you some fun moments too. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi Molo! I think you make Richmond sound very appealing, so don't think the "grass is greener" (well, what grass there is in the city, ). Thanks, CineMaven, yes my friends have shared some fun times with me here. There is no doubt New York is not a dull town and I'm grateful for what I have, which is much more than many in this world, at this time. And did I mention I get goosebumps whenever Frank Sinatra sells it in his rendition of "New York, New York"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For goosebumps...all I need to hear is that old standard: "AUTUMN IN NEW YORK." Haunting...lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Oh, my goodness, YES, I love "Autumn in New York", it's one of the loveliest songs ever written. And I should mention that one of my tippy-top favorite songs of ALL time, "Violets for Your Furs", mentions Manhattan in the first few words. I like this one, too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi 'Maven---yes, that's *Don't Bother to Knock* and Ann Bancroft. She sounds like she was dubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 I highly recommend a nice little thriller in the Hitchcock vein, *The Green Glove* (1952), directed by Rudolph Mate and starring Glenn Ford and his old Gilda nemesis, George Macready. It's swift pacing, tight script and above all, GORGEOUS location shooting that's all over France--- Paris, the southern locales and Monte Carlo took my breath away. If only it had been shot in color. Neverthelss, this movie takes enormous advantage of the place---I spotted nary a studio shot---including cafes, hotels, train and metro stations as well as gorgeous medeival ruins and the dramatic canyons and gorges of the southern Interior. Cute Geraldine Brooks is the leading lady, and she reminds me a lot of Margaret Lockwood in THE LADY VANISHES, both in spirit and appearance. Cedrick Hardwicke is also on hand. The Alpha video print of the DVD was predictably murky in spots, but not unbearable. I rented this but I think I'm going to buy it. Lots of fun and the ending had me guessing how it would turn out. It really did feel like vintage "Hitch" in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
