kingrat Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thursday, June 2 10:15 a.m. High Tide at Noon (1957) English director, Phillip Leacock usually delivers a good film so this is my pick of the day. Set in Nova Scotia. 2 p.m. All Night Long (1963) This British film has now been bumped in both Canada and the U.S.. With Patrick McGoohan and Betsy Blair. Not to be confused with the Gene Hackman film. Bogie, I liked High Tide at Noon, and I'm glad to see someone else has discovered Phillip Leacock. Innocent Sinners, Abandon Ship, and The War Lover are all good movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 6/1 ME IN BLUE- LHF This should have been the day of Marilyn Monroe's 90th birthday tribute on TCM, but I digress (lol). AS ALWAYS, YOU MAKE MANY GOOD POINTS. TCM and Fox have been working together much more often over the last few years, but it seems a little like they're loathe to give up too many Marilyn titles at a time, so we usually only get one or two at a time, and some of her lesser efforts (HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE, THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL) show up with more regularity than is merited. I'm recording all the Bette Davis movies that I've never even heard of, let alone seen! Payment on Demand June Bride Winter Meeting Bette's winning streak from 1938 to 1945 came to an abrupt end in 1946 when DECEPTION became her first film to lose money for WB. This was followed by several underperforming films, of which I have only seen JUNE BRIDE- but I'll heartily agree with the positive review below- it is a surprisingly funny and charming film, much lighter and more down-to-earth than most of her moody melos and a film not entirely unlike THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER or CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT. One worthy aside, Bette repeatedly went on the record with how much she haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated costar ROBERT MONTGOMERY, referring to him as "a sort of male MIRIAM HOPKINS" for all this scene stealing antics. In my effort to see more of Ginger Rogers' work and warm up to her more (which I am! The Major and the Minor definitely made me like her more, thanks to my friends here on the board for the recommendation!), I'm recording: The only slightly disheartening thing about Ginger Rogers is that after THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR, and only got a handfull of roles that were really worthy of her talent. A lot of her mid to late forties films just don't give her a chance to shine, and it's also worth noting that, as she got older, Ginger really "slathered on the war paint"- becoming overly made-up in a way that distracts from her incredible natural beauty. The only film of her hers from that era where we see "Old Ginger" is MONKEY BUSINESS (1952)- I like this film very much, although there are some who don't. Long Day's Journey into Night, This Katharine Hepburn movie sounds really interesting. It is. It is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. And DARK. But well-acted by all; take special note of Dean Stockwell- whenever I come across him in anythng, as a child or adult, I am routinely blown away by what a talent he was. -- I recommend: Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf? I still think Sandy Dennis is annoying YES. I also like These Three. I think it is better than the remake, The Children's Hour, even though I like the leads in the latter film more. The original film starring Miriam Hopkins and Merle Oberon I think is the better film and Bonita Granville is a nasty piece of work in this film-- I love her. I also recommend the Lux Radio version of These Three, I liked it better than The Children's Hour as well and not only because the doctor was played by Errol Flynn. I also thought that Mary Astor and Barbara Stanwyck played the lead parts very well. AND I LOVE that you give a shout-out to OLD RADIO. ARCHIVE.ORG and youtube are both home to tons of old radio episodes, some of the most intriguing are OF THE Luxe Radio Show, which was hosted and produced by CB DeMille. the most fabulous thing about it is that it often presents hour long versions of classic films WITH ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CASTS, providing us a whole new look at our favorite stories and actors. WILL DEFINITELY CHECK OUT THE FLYNN/ASTOR/STANWYCK version of THESE THREE. Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat post. You had me chuckling with this, kinda cute.

Bogie56 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Friday, June 3/4 2:00 a.m. The Lost Weekend (1945) A great way to start the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosebette Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Winter Meeting was much better than I expected. In some ways it was less dated than some of Bette's earlier performances; I liked the understated performances of the leads. The ending was unexpectedly moving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Friday, June 3rd; Billy Wilder night (and afternoon): All times E.S.T. 2:30 p.m. "Some Like It Hot" (1959)--One of Wilder's best films, and certainly Marilyn Monroe's best starring part. 10:00 p.m. "Five Graves to Cairo" (1943)--Fine WWII drama.

They showed this sometime in the late winter/early spring and I raved and recommended it to everyone, and didn't get a lot of feedback from anyone on whether they watched and liked it or not, but here i go again: No one in the history of Filmdom has made more perfect movies than Billy Wilder, and one of those perfect movies that is not noticed as much as the others is FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO. I love this film with every fiber of my being and I shout its merits to anyone who will listen. One of my top five favorite Wilders, one of my favorite films of the forties. Exquisite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should give it another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

film lover 293 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just adding to Bogie56's post: "The Red Mill" (1926) was directed by Fatty Arbuckle, under one of the many aliases (William Goodrich, in this instance) he used after the 1922 scandal of Virginia Rappe's death effectively ended his career as a movie star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamCasey Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Saturday, June 4 10 p.m. The Seven Ups (1973). I haven’t seen this one since it came out. I saw The Seven-Ups (1973) when it was going through the second run theaters back in the early 70s. And saw it again a couple years ago on television. And it was just as good as I remembered (especially the chase scene). Needless to say, my plans for this evening include both this and the oft-seen The French Connection (1971).

HelenBaby2 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The Red Mill (1927) is the Silent Sunday night offering tonight starring Marion Davies & Owen Moore. It's a good one. And of course, tomorrow starts this month's tribute to Marie Dressler. I recommend all of them. The lineup includes a couple of Silents and a couple of early talkies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Divine Lady won the Best Director Oscar for Frank Lloyd. I saw the movie several years ago, and retain very little memory of it. Lots of costumes is about the extent.
