What have we done to be so punished? You're Canadians. Do you really have to ask? Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 I didn't want to create a thread just for this. I noticed it in The New Yorker. But the copy that I found on YouTube wasn't very good quality. The Front Row A Lost Orson Welles TV Pilot as Groundbreaking as “Citizen Kane” “The Fountain of Youth,” now streaming on YouTube, is as artistically original for television as “Citizen Kane” was for the movies.

By Richard Brody I saw it a year or two ago. It was made by Desilu. I believe that's why Welles appeared on I Love Lucy. The pilot received a Peabody award, the only unsold pilot to do so thus far. It's a shame Desi Arnaz didn't stick with Desilu longer. Would have been interesting to see what would come of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Oscar winning short. 10:45 p.m. Our Relations (1936). This is my favourite Laurel and Hardy feature where they play mis-matched twins.

This would seem to confirm that, as they would need more time than 24 hours to get these discussions between Jacqueline Stewart and Carla Hayden ready for air. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen either film you mention here Bogie, but I think it's rather odd that a movie shot partially in Canada and co-starring one the Dominion's comedic icons cannot be seen north of the 49th. Well, I guess it beats a TV screen with a test pattern on it. 😐🎅 Link to post Share on other sites

But is based on a book in which the story takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark ("Think Of A Number" by Anders Bodelsen) It is one of the movies on my short list of "Movies better than the books" And is a purely Canadian production right down to excellent Canadian jazz pianist OSCAR PETERSON providing the score. Luckily, I have this flick on both DVD and tape and won't have to try to catch it in what I consider the middle of the night. Sepiatone 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also a first rate cast with other actors, many just starting to make-it, like Dan Duryea. Also the lovely Patricia Morison (playing the not-so-nice gal she was so good at playing). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
