JackFavell Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Anthony Dexter is AWESOME! I love that cheesy movie just for him. I wonder why he didn't have a major career. He would have been a PERFECT George Raft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She, too, has a great voice. A movie that reminded of the style of "Metropolitan" and "Barcelona" that I really liked was called "TADPOLE." "And Eve was weak -- SAY IT!" -- "No, Momma!" I'll check out TADPOLE. Never heard of it before. > > "When I first saw the opening credits, I couldn't figure out if it was made in Italy, Turkey, or Timbucktu, and what in heck was William Shatner doing speaking in anything other than English? I didn't know what to make of it all -- some scenes were actually creepy and disorienting. But on the whole I mainly expected Woody Allen and Diane Keaton to show up and start arguing about love and death. (in Esperanto)" > > Ha!! You pegged that right Bronxie; Upper West Side/upper middle class folks coming from either the Baronet or the Coronet (or Cinema 1,2 or 3)...OR The Beekman or The Sutton, having seen an esoteric movie and using argument as foreplay. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how I long for Woody Allen when he was funny. Ah, the memories you bring up, lol (including the arguments as you-know-what (gee, I sound like Marnie) I can't remember when I (intentionally) laughed at a Woody Allen movie. > Oh...And yes...for the Piper Laurie reference...I know. I should be mentally committed. Or flogged. Or kiss a troll. Heaven forbid the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also starred in FIRE MAIDENS OF OUTER SPACE, which of course I'd love to see. (hmm, wonder if it's on YouTube...)

pandorainmay Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hey Miss G. and Bronxie, I must admit that *George Raft* seems like *Laurence Olivier* when compared to the acting I've seen by Anthony Dexter--but then I've never seen *Fire Maidens of Outer Space*, though I did torture myself once by watching *Valentino* (1951) and *Captain Kidd and the Slave Girl* (1954) in the past. (What can I say, I liked pirate movies. If you do, you can see it [here|http://www.hulu.com/watch/71578/captain-kidd-and-the-slave-girl] ). In any case, I came across this interview with *Marsha Hunt* [here|http://blog.allanellenberger.com/book-flm-news/marsha-hunt-on-anthony-dexter/] in which she speaks quite a bit about *Anthony Dexter*, who seems to have had a crush on her (didn't everyone with good taste?).

pandorainmay Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Oh! Right after I wrote that last unnecessary snarky remark, it just occurred to me that one reason to _like_ George Raft is because he isn't Laurence Olivier...and even Olivier probably didn't want to be Olivier either...or why be an actor? Gotta go *Beyond the Sound Barrier* now with Nigel Patrick and Ralph Richardson. I NEED a few hours of British cinema, black and white style. Ta, ta, darlings.

Except for Larry in P&P, I think I actually PREFER George Raft's acting over Olivier's. So much less fuss. > > Gotta go *Beyond the Sound Barrier* now with Nigel Patrick and Ralph Richardson.

I'm watching it now, but some dark demonic force is over my shoulder whispering: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN is on at the women's channel. H-e-e-e-e-e-l-p m-e-e-e-e-e!!

JackFavell Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 OK. Maybe Dexter wasn't Laurence Olivier - but he could dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGjZufkzlaQ OK. He was just cute.

Interesting film, with a few recognizable David Lean visuals. I wonder if it's based on a true story? I think it might have been based on a true story. I'd forgotten that my Brit sweetie Nigel Patrick was in it. So I didn't catch the Lean visuals -- was too busy focusing on Nigel, ha! The film wasn't too thrilling, though, I found myself nodding off, even with him and Ralph Richardson around.

CineMaven Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 You're right...NOT that Eve. Thought of you when I watched "BUCKET OF BLOOD." I enjoyed it. And Barboura Morris (horseface I think you called her) of "WASP WOMAN" fame was very good in it as well. Yeah, you might say that ain't sayin' much...but nonetheless she did a good job.

I'm sorry to say that Mom wasn't feeling well enough this holiday to celebrate. I was about to make reservations to take us to Pastis, a French bistro specializing in Provencal food, but that didn't happen because she had a mild fainting spell and is waiting for doctor's tests to tell her what the heck's the matter. She needs to build up her strength, eat more protein, and not tool about in her car when she should be relaxing at home. She's relaxing now, watching Robert Taylor, and munching on cheese and crackers.
