Bogie56 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Sunday, June 21 3:30 p.m. The Entertainer (1960). Great cast in this one about a cheeseball music hall showman who is well past his sell-by date.

This is a great film and Olivier in top form. I think I heard this was his favorite role of his as well. Ironic that Joan Plowright, who plays his daughter in here, went on to marry him in real life.

kingrat Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I definitely need to record Tiger Bay. For late Tuesday night's Ann Sheridan lineup, I'm fond of Honeymoon for Three, which has some very funny moments. George Brent can actually play light comedy very well. The story is a bit like Noel Coward's Present Laughter, with Brent as a writer whose female fans swoon over him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Wednesday, June 24 1:30 a.m. The Blue Lagoon (1980). The 1949 original with Jean Simmons and Donald Houston was scheduled to be shown at BFI Southbank London but was cancelled due to covid-19. Each month the BFI curator shows a film for the ‘Projecting the Archive’ series. They pick a film from a list where the rights to replicate on dvd are not available. I’ve seen a few Elisabeth Bergner films this way including Escape Me Never (1935). Link to post Share on other sites

kingrat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Thursday night I am looking forward to recording New Orleans, especially because it stars Billie Holiday. I know two of the songs from the film, "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?" and "The Blues Are Brewing," both memorable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Friday, June 26 9:45 p.m. The Watermelon Woman (1995). Quite relevant today and I’m interested to see how it is handled. 5:30 a.m. The House In the Middle (1954). Military test demonstrate the dangers of poor home maintenance in the event of a nuclear attack in this short film. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

IT'S KIND OF A DISAPPOINTING FILM- largely because the white leads are HORRIBLE (especially the actress.) But Billie- while a little ragged about the edges- was a pretty good actress, which is saying something because SOMETIMES black performances in classic films are not great, due in large part (I imagine) to a lack of coaching, direction and encouragement given to the players. BILLIE HOLIDAY and LOUIS ARMSTRONG did TWO DUETS together, which were released on the three-CD COLLECTION BILLIE HOLIDAY ON DECCA, which included multiple alternate takes of songs like MY SWEET HUNK O' TRASH, which actually includes one take where LOUIS ARMSTRONG SERIOUSLY SAYS THE "F" WORD!!!!!!

Bogie56 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Saturday, June 27 10 a.m. Popeye: I’ll Never Crow Again (1941). 4 a.m. Baby Boom (1987). Not a bad effort. With Diane Keaton and Harold Ramus. The gag about Harold wanting to sell the apartment rather than clean it is still with me 30 odd years later. Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 6/26 AIRING RIGHT NOW (and hopefully ON DEMAND later) YOU'LL FIND OUT (1941?) , a predecessor of sorts to HOLD THAT GHOST/ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN- KAY KAISER (who is the squarest white man who ever lived, sorry LAWRENCE WELK) and his band play a birthday party for the heiress to a fortune in an isolated haunted mansion. SHENANIGANS ENSUE. The special effects are, surprisingly, OUTSTANDING. It cosTARS PETER LORRE, BELA LUGOSI (in a TURBAN as PRINCE SALIANO) and KARLOFF: THE UNCANNY. Sadly, the three do not have much screen time together, but this is a fun film. MALTIN gives it TWO STARS, which nearly always is a sign that it is a film worth watching.

I only discovered this film a few years back. I also think William Daniels and Elanor Bron do a good job playing their traveling companions and the over-indulging parents of Ruthie. Jacqueline Bisset also has an early role here, and look for a young Judy Cornwell as a choir member early on. She later became well known as Daisy, on the BBC's Keeping Up Appearances. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AndreaDoria Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 In some biography or other Audrey gave the impression that she sort of fell in love with Finney during this. Poor woman, it was about the only time she was cast opposite a man who wasn't old enough to be her father. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
