ValentineXavier Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 No, no, you're both wrong. It was *Lout of the Past*, and Mitchum was to act really dumb. Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 You all are wrong, the film was originally going to be a sequel to *Rear Window*, the title being "Out Of The Cast". Link to post Share on other sites

audreyforever Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Gosh...I thought it was originally suposed to be OUT OF THE MAST, a precurser to ALL THE BROTHERS WERE VALIANT as Mitchum and Douglas the brothers fighting over Greer. Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 The movie "Out Of The Past" is based on a novel, "Build My Gallos High" , which is about two brothers going into the wine making business. The pretty young girl who was hired to stomp on the grapes seduces them both and gets them fighting one another. Who ever wins gets the girl, but then she takes out a double indemnity insurance policy on him and then.... Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 This thread has taken a delicious silly turn, and is literally making me laugh out loud ! (Any attempts to get the insurance policy holder drunk on that Gallos wine?) Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Any notable noirs that were set in Canada? Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 would you consider the Hitchcock film *I Confess* (filmed in Quebec) a noir? I would. Also *Niagara* , which shows a noir can be in color. Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 misswonderly says "At least Raymond Burr wasn't a whiner". What else do you call a guy who grows whine? Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Did NIAGARA take place on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls? Was that ever made clear? Maybe I was so focused on Marilyn's walk that I was missing other stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Come on Finance, everything about *Niagara* is in Canada. The opening scene has Jean Peters (who I adore here) and her creepy husband coming over the Rainbow Bridge thru customs. You can only really see the Falls from the Canadian side and their fictional lodge has a great upclose view of same. The very polite cop is obviously a Canadian, no Robert Ryan/ Dana Andrews tough guy here. You don't see any trash littering the landscape, obviously we are not in the states. And as for Marilyn, yeah she's eye candy for a little while, but her best scene is when her husband meets her in the tower and gives her payback. I'll take Polly (Jean Peters) in a minute, after I dispose of her nitwit husband. Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I love the way I've got everyone here talking about Canada ! Link to post Share on other sites
mrroberts Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Actually, we should be down south of the border (Mexico), Thats where *The Big Steal* and some of *Out Of The Past* takes place. This thread's been hijacked. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That's nothing. I'm going to get everyone talking about Luxembourg.......Hey, how about those Schleck brothers from Luxembourg in the Tour de France?.......Who are your favorite Luxembourgese (?) actors and actresses?

misswonderly3 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Here's Frank Sinatra with South of the Border . It is a little-known fact that Robert Siodmak wanted to make a film set in Mexico, based on this song and starring Sinatra. But Frank was unavailable at the time as he had plans to record an album in Luxembourg, so it never happened. Link to post Share on other sites
