DownGoesFrazier Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I finally saw FALLEN ANGEL this morning. Not great, but gets a 10 out of 10 on the noir characteristcs meter. Was David Raksin in the cast? I thought he was only a composer. ("Laura", etc.) Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 No, he probably isn't in the cast, and I should be more careful next time. For some reason, the folks who make the FMC schedule have a habit of including directors and composers in the cast list. I try to catch as many as I can, but sometimes one or two still slip by.

markbeckuaf Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 FALLEN ANGEL is quite good. I saw it the other day on FMC. I keep missing SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT, I hope they keep it in their rotation! Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 *Somewhere in the Night* will be shown on FMC again on Sept. 30, at noon ET. Link to post Share on other sites

clore Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 VICKI isn't bad at all, even if you're familiar with the original, I WAKE UP SCREAMING. Richard Boone is quite acceptable in the Laird Cregar role and Aaron Spelling is good enough in the Elisha Cook part that one wishes he stayed with acting rather than going into production.No doubt, with that puss he would have been typecast however. The big problem is Elliott Reid in the Victor Mature role. Boone calls him "pretty boy" but he doesn't even have that much going for him and certainly not Mature's virility.

HollywoodGolightly Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've been meaning to watch it for a while now. Since it is out on DVD from Fox Video, I might just get to it first if I put it near the top of my Netflix queue. Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonCross Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 "Where the Sidewalk Ends" This is a great film and a must watch in my view, I missed several minutes when it ran once on FMC over the summer, I purchased the film on DVD and it is another film that tops my list...

When is the next time FMC is airing WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS? I'm going to try to look into that, but it may not be a quick thing. The FMC website is great for looking up the day's schedule and maybe a few days ahead. But if you're trying to use the search function to figure out if a movie is coming up, well, it doesn't seem to work for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I caught VICKI this morning. I hadn't read your description, and didn't realize that it was a remake of I WAKE UP SCREAMING until the very end. Boone was in the Laird Cregar role as the sicko cop. I preferred the original.
