CaveGirl Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Oooh...Le Plaisir is House of Pleasures? I'm a dummy! Yes, Spirits of the Dead is on the US schedule at 4:30 AM EST. However it's not on the Canadian schedule, they have Remorques in that timeslot. SOTD was scheduled in the original booklet but now seems to have been removed. No problem since of all the anthology ones scheduled, that is the one I would give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Here are the other two covers for the other Ophuls films released on DVD at the same time La Ronde The Earrings of Madame de... It's so funny because I had already seen and had on tape all three of these Max Ophuls' films but when Criterion came out with those new dvd covers back in the day, I had to buy all three of them. The art truly is beautiful and worthy of being a giant poster to be sure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryPeckfan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks for all the info! My mind was blown when I saw the promo for this because I DID NOT KNOW THIS MOVIE EXISTED, and I'm like a solid 7.5 on the "Film Buff's Knowledge of Golden Age Obscurities and Esoterica" scale. The only version of RED CHIEF that I have seen is in color, I am assuming that this is not Hawk's version...no? ps- Zanuck had terrible taste, so I'm willing to bet there's nothing wrong with Hawks' contribution. I have not seen RED CHIEF in colour. But it stars Fred Allen and Oscar Levant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have not seen RED CHIEF in colour. But it stars Fred Allen and Oscar Levant CF, don't forget it also stars Lee Aker, who played Rusty in "Rin Tin Tin", as the little brat, uh...I mean small dear child who is kidnapped. I wonder what he is doing today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregoryPeckfan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Tomorrow, Tuesday, I'll hopefully be taping The Fallen Sparrow. It's a great film, and focuses on the psychological aspects of Garfield's character having been a POW. The inability to control a dripping water faucet is mentioned as an example. In Garfield's case, it is the sound of a man he never sees but who has a heavy limp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineHoard Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Did anyone watch The Flame Within on Maureen O'Sullivan's birthday? Ann Harding was quite good and I always enjoy Herbert Marshall but this was post pre-code so Dr. Anne had to be oh-so subtle in her desires. She gave up her career in the end and decided to leave all the decision-making to Dr. Herbert. This is why I sometimes hate the code. It could have been a much more interesting movie made about two years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Wednesday, May 18 Disfigurement day! 8 p.m. Jeremiah Johnson (1972). Pretty good Sidney Pollack film with Robert Redford and Will Geer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Double man is new to me too. I will be recording it to make sure that I can watch it when I am not disturbed - and well, there is power washing going on next door this week.

LornaHansonForbes Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wish I could say that I enjoyed THE FALLEN SPARROW...but, no. It was not for a lack of effort and substantial charm on the part of a very seductively lit John Garfield, who does everything he can short of waving a pair of semaphore flags and doing a little softshoe to keep the audience focused, but the story is a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 May 18th/19th--All times E.S.T. 6:15 p.m. "Eyes Without a Face" (1959)--Horror film finally not scheduled in the late night hours. 4:00 a.m. "The Last Frontier" (1956)--Anthony Mann western is Arguably the best of the night, buried in the early morning hours--worth recording if you can't stay up for it.

Well,, you can cross that movie off of your list of John Garfield films. That's always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy the movie (last night was the first time I saw it) but the story was confusing e.g. matching the faces to the names as the various characters, many actors unknown to me, appear. (well except for Beavers dad!). There were also characters that had nothing to do with the story like Garfield's ex-girlfriend. Okay that was done to not expose the bad guys right off the bat but it just added more confusion and dragged the story down. Garfield was in fine form and O'Hara was so beautiful in black and white, but I wish she her character was just a more straight forward femme fatale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why the movie is confusing. We were not supposed to know who the bad guy was. Because of stereotyped casting of Slezack usually playing a bad guy, we know who it is in retrospect. But movies are not made in retrospect unless it is a remake, sequel or prequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
