Bogie56 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I noticed on the imdb that Sterling Hayden is credited with the novel for which a German 1984 production is based titled, Der Havarist. Does anyone know anything about this one? I have read two books by Hayden: his autobiography The Wanderer and Voyage. Hayden's trip with his children on his schooner to Tahiti (the main subject in The Wanderer) was supposed to be the subject of a documentary that he was making but to my knowledge it was never completed. Also, without going back over the schedule is The Asphalt Jungle playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverrocks Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 "Voyage" is an absolutely terrific novel I read many years ago. A great novel of the sea by Hayden. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great read. Hayden was such an interesting man, author, and actor. I would have loved to have met him.

I remember seeing Hayden on Johnny Carson and he was a hoot. He had long hair and beard and looked like a hippy. At first it was hard for me to believe this was the actor I was so fond of.. But the guy was as sharp as a tack and very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The real question is will The Killing be shown? This an almost totally firgotten treat by Kubrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM108 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The real question is will The Killing be shown? This an almost totally firgotten treat by Kubrick. I would almost suggest holding a few TCM personnel hostage so that they don't pull this off the schedule at the last minute. It's almost (if not quite) on the level of The Asphalt Jungle, and you'll never forget either the ending or the character played by Timothy Carey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have a local anecdote about Hayden from 1981. He was slumming a bit, doing a picture in Toronto called Gas. During the shoot he was arrested and charged with the possession of dope - hashish I believe. Anyway, flash forward. The movie is finished. Hayden has to return to Toronto for a court date. According to the papers the Judge said that the court recognizes Mr. Hayden to be an extraordinary person and therefore he was dismissed of all charges! I thought that was incredible. Finally someone with a little sense and decency. I think Hayden had explained that he used hashish to keep his alcoholism at bay. Another short anecdote is that apparently Hayden had just taken a big draw from his hash pipe before the scene where he opens the door of his squad car in The Godfather and steps out to break Al Pacino's jaw. I can't recall where I read that one. Sorry if I muddled things up by not putting this topic in the proper Stars of the Month thread. I'm fairly new still.

SableGamine Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Cool. I'm really appreciating the way that TCM has been highlighting some performers who may not be as well-remembered as their contemporaries, haven't gotten their just due, or who many people know mainly from one or two performances. I'm glad that Sterling Hayden is getting his month of films to analyze and contextualize and enjoy. I'm really looking forward to Crime of Passion; I've never seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrat Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The May 6 lineup is incredible. The Killing and The Asphalt Jungle are about as good as it gets, and Crime Wave is not to be missed, either. The first half hour and the ending, in particular, are sensationally directed by Andre de Toth. Timothy Carey makes an unforgettable appearance in that film, too. Imagine your wife being held hostage by Timothy Carey. That is a serious noir nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNNY GUITAR is a surrealist masterpiece and rates in the top 25 American films by the editors of Cahiers du Cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As tempting as it was to pick it up, i did not because I knew it would not be long before it was on tcm again. I was in a Big Lots store a few years ago in Arizona-- I never shopped there but went inside one day with a friend for a few minutes. They had a bargain bin with classic films for $1. A lot of the films were bad public domain copies. But as I started to dig through the bin, I found a legitimate copy of THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES and THE PETRIFIED FOREST, both for a buck. I bought them and still have them. That's the best deal I have ever found on a classic film, marked down. When I think of all the other films where I spent upwards of $25 to $40 for a single film, it makes those two $1 bargains all that sweeter! TCM can run PRIDE OF THE YANKEES and PETRIFIED FOREST till the cows come home, but I will always be glad I have my own official copies at such a great price. If only all classic films were sold at $1, wouldn't that be wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
