LornaHansonForbes Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 When I was first getting into jazz in the 1990s, everything was on CD and nothing was instantly available on the Internet, So it was many years before I heard DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS? and discovered that it is NOT about a disgruntled beauty queen. Still a great song though: 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cloris Leachman was MISS CHCAGO 1946. I don't think she was disgruntled though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Saturday, August 7 Abbott & Costello SUTS 8 p.m. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). I bought an abridged silent 8mm copy of this when I was a kid. And for years I had never seen a version on television that included the opening scene in the shipping office with Frank Ferguson.

laffite Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I agree. But if Ramon doesn't do it for (the general) you, there is the cutie Dorothy Jordan. The Barbarian is on in a couple of hours. No Dorothy there, but Myrna instead. There is a measure of eroticism that is uncommon in this era. Eroticism, not pre-code sexiness that we have grown to love. Or maybe it's a matter of taste. It doesn't approach anywhere near Swept Away (I refer to the Wertmuller version) there is only a speck of that, but it's a good movie. Bogie, surprised that you didn't highlight that one. It's a curio at worst. And I remember The Student Prince of Heidelberg only a little but I remember liking it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually have most of those Novarro films myself. My joke fell a little flat !!! But if I could try to wriggle out of this I would just add that these Novarro films are on ALL of the time so it might still be safe to go shopping. Link to post Share on other sites

nakano Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Saturday, August 14 at 4.00 am Tout Va Bien 1972 (non tout ne va pas bien dans ce film...) Yves Montand Jane Fonda if an experimental political social movie by Jean Luc Godard interest you...otherwise a major must miss.Godard got the financing for this 'work' because he got Montand and Fonda interested in it.Fonda's career was going nowhere during this period (for several years till Julia and Fun with Dick & Jane.)I lost a lot a precious time watching Godard's films and i still have some to see i guess i'am a masochist... Godard is really overrated imo Link to post Share on other sites

Director John Huston Cast Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart, Leo Genn "............Huston saw his father Walter Huston as the perfect Ahab ..........Gregory Peck became Huston's new choice through a chance meeting at a Hollywood party. Peck was not sure he was right for the role, in fact, he always thought John Huston would have done a better job. However, Peck's box office draw delighted Warner Brothers ...... Huston's quest for the perfect film of Moby Dick chewed up writers, cast and crew, strangely mirroring Ahab's own search. Perhaps it gave Huston a way of looking into the mad captain's soul. The result of all that pain and torment yielded the most accurate and probably the quintessential movie version of Melville's book. ............" see: https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/17660/moby-dick#articles-reviews?articleId=31523 -terrific cast, good production............. ===================================================================== 8:00 pm The Big Country (1958) 2h 46m | Western | TV-PG An ex-ship captain arrives in the West to marry a rancher's daughter and finds himself cau...
