arpirose Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I woll give my hats off to ANN CARTER, who was an integral part of the films CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE AND THE TWO MRS. CARROLLS. Her promising career was cut short by a serious bout with Polio, which took years to recover. She was truly a promising young actress that disease cut short her career. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Most know him for his Oscar nominated Dodger in "Oliver!" but I really love "Melody" which reunited him with his "Oliver!" co star Mark Lester. It is a touching and funny look at childhood friendships and first love, great soundtrack by The Bee Gees as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just saw this on TCM on demand. It is very entertaining with a fine cast. It's sort of a whimsical Irish version of "Night Of The Hunter" with two kids being pursued by a villain for money. Ron Moody has a flashy role as the wicked uncle who uses disguises. There is a St Patrick's day parade that seems to be an homage to the "Who Will Buy" scene from "Oliver!". Jack Wild did a few more films in this period that I would like to see. There is the movie version of "Pufnstuf" (I already own the DVD of the TV show) and "The Pied Piper" featuring Scottish folksinger Donovan in the title role. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I remember watching "Pufnstuf" on Saturday mornings. How did you find the DVD set? "The Pied Piper" with Donovan, is a very interesting film. It was directed by the man who gave us "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg". I am so glad that you enjoyed "Flight of the Doves". I'd like to read the book. Link to post Share on other sites

Rumann Koch Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Dean Stockwell in "Kim" (1950) Playing a teen-aged James Bond, opposite to none other than Errol Flynn (who was sadly obviously already in decline, both physically and professionally), young Master Stockwell steals the show but received no awards. He reminded me of the Artful Dodger is in Oliver Twist. Trivia: years later Stockwell was quoted as saying: "I didn't know anything about sex or what manhood was - and he opened that door for me." All I can say is - who better than the 'Tasmanian Devil' himself?! 😈 1 Link to post Share on other sites
