Too bad!

 

My provider's schedule says that Asenic and old lace  should have started but it did not.

 

I wasn't in the room when the movie started so I don't know what it is- but it is NOT A&OL.

 

Edit:

 

It's Night and day, which I've seen.

 It's on okay version of Cole Porter's life to the point where he he's walking on crutches.

It would be nice to see a remake of the Cole Porter story which shows that he and Linda were probably just friends and that Cole had a more intense relationship with guys like Montey Wooley mayhaps.

 

Gives new meaning to the phrase "I've got you under my skin".

There was a remake and I have seen it. It is fantastic!

 

I have the soundtrack.

 

It stars Kevin Kline as Cole Porter and does not shy away from things the earlier film was not allowed to show-

that he was homosexual ad that when he lost his leg, he had "phantom"pain.

 

It's a wonderful film. It is called De-lovely and it  was released in 2004.

 

He is ready to die and has been brought to an theatre to look back on his life - the triumphs and the tragedies.

In honour of tonight's TCM showing of 'Three in the Attic' (1968) - a movie about a young man named Paxton Quigley (played by Christopher Jones of 'Wild in the Streets' and 'Ryan's Daughter') who has revenge done to him for being a womanizer by three chicks who decide to **** him to death. Seriously.

 

The only youtube post of the song unfortunately. I have it on cd and it sounds much better. Still - here's 'Paxton Quigley's Had the Course'!

I have enjoyed today's line up of rarely seen Grant movies.  Of course Arsenic and Baby are not "RARELY" seen but always enjoyable lol comedies.  Cary is always entertaining regardless of the movie.  Yet I am extremely confused as to why on a day of Grant films where does the final movie of the line up fall in to play.  It doesn't look like Cary is in the movie from the cast credits or the synopsis. What is going on there at TCM?  I would love to know exactly how the final movie- "Inside Straight" fall into category of the day

 

Anyone else ?  Please explain......

The link between Crisis and Inside straight is Paula Raymond

remember hearing about this one from my yoot ;) Wild in the Streets(1968)

Thursday, May 19 @ 01:15 AM (ET)

 

"The connection between politics and the worship of pop idols is fascinating....

 

Two... movies have explored this idea. One was a good film, Peter Watkins' "Privilege." One is pretty bad, Barry Shear's "Wild in the Streets." Of the two, I'm afraid "Wild in the Streets" is more effective because it has a greater understanding of its audience."

Friday, May 20

 

Back to Robert Ryan.

 

1:30 p.m.  Trail Street (1947)  I haven’t seen this one before.

 

midnight.  The Wild Bunch (1969).  Not for the faint hearted but one of the best western ever made.

 

4:30  a.m.  Executive Action (1973)  Based on the early Mark Lane theories of the JFK assassination case.

There are great Robert Ryan films on Friday.

 

I have not seen Trail Street either.

 

The westerns I have seen I love - although I don't think that I will be watching The Wild Bunch again since it airs overnight.

I have never seen LOLLY Madonna XXX before.

Friday I have 4 more Robert Ryan films taping:

 

Trail Street

Return of the Bad Men

Best of the Bad Men

Lolly-Madonna XXX

LOL! I just read my earlier post about the Robert Ryan movies I'm recording tomorrow and I noticed I had it down as LADY Madonna XXX.

 

Someone is still in the Rock and Roll thread in her mind thinking about The Beatles....

morlock blog re. tonite's airing of THREE IN THE ATTIC....

 

http://moviemorlocks.com/2016/05/19/sexual-revolution-on-campus-three-in-the-attic-1968/

 

"Tonight also marks the TCM debut of Three in the Attic (1968), a fairly bleak sex comedy that loosely dabbles in gender politics and became the studio’s highest grossing film of the decade. Despite its financial success and popularity with audiences, Three in the Attic has largely been forgotten and has yet to find its way onto DVD...."

Lolly-Madonna XXX

 

Make sure you get this one. I haven't seen it since around 1975. One of those "gone missing" movies I thought I'd probably never see again.

 

Didn't think it was a great movie way back then - but I'll sure be recording it anyway. Who knows - it may be better now. Lots of movies get better as one grows older.

 

What a cast!!

 

Rod Steiger, Robert Ryan, Jeff Bridges, Scott Wilson, Randy Quaid, Gary Busey, Paul Koslo, Ed Lauter, Kiel Martin ('Trick Baby', 'Panic in Needle Park' & 'Hill Street Blues' - always like that guy), Timothy Scott - and the "star" of the movie, Season Hubley!

 

Remember her? She was a mid 70's sexy thang - kinda intended to be what was tried with Pia Zadora a few years later.

I remember Season Hubley. She was married to Kurt Russell for a spell, after they appeared in that Elvis TV movie.

There was a bonus with last night's The Wild Angels (1966).  Ben and Roger Corman did an intro.  I know that The Wild Angels and The Trip have been on TCM before.  Were these intros new to last night?

Yes, those introductions were new. TCM never repeats old wraparounds. The segments you're referring to were produced especially for this month's Spotlight on American International Pictures.

Those were great wraparounds.

 

I love how Corman was talking about how he hung  around with real Hells Angels  for TH WILD ANGELS and tried LSD (nevr done it myself and I never would) for The Trip.

 

Also, that he did not realize until he was just watching hem that in both movies, the last image is of Peter Fonda by himself.

 

edit: I've been told I was in dreamland and wrote down the wrong tile.

Really been loving Corman's commentary. He's funny, articulate, generous and has a great memory for stories & detail!

Wish he could be more of a regular :D

He'd make a great replacement for Robert upon Robert's retirement.
