Janet0312 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 'Brides of Dracula' was my favorite Hammer movie when I was a kid. Thought it was bent and wonderful. Loved the vamp's mom! Same here. When I was young I thought David Peel as the vampire was dreamy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 I bet Speedy would know! Yeah, they started out separated. Maybe after Ricky was born? (LOL). The beds actually started pushed together. After Little Ricky was born, the network forced them to separate the beds as a way to play downplay the implication that Lucy and Ricky had a sex life.

speedracer5 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Now here's a kinky sight: Lucy and Ricky in bed together, in handcuffs! And this is after they try to undress and realize that it's impossible without cutting off your clothes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenIsHere Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 At what point did Lucy and Ricky push their two beds together, basically making one big bed? Wouldn't that have been before Bewitched? The Ricardos slept on separate twin mattresses that were "pushed together" during the first two seasons of I LOVE LUCY so I guess many make the argument that they slept in separate beds. They were close enough to conceive Little Ricky. It's interesting that the network had the beds pushed apart after Little Ricky was born. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a clip of an episode where the beds are pushed together and Lucy is awakened by Little Ricky's crying. That was from 1953. If you look at some of the images of the "beds-pushed-together" episodes, you see different headboards joining the beds. I think the joint headboard is a sign that says "sex!"

Dargo Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hmmmm....what I'm wondering here is if perhaps it WASN'T the CBS Network censors that had the beds pulled apart later on, but perhaps if was actually Lucy HERSELF who had it done...and after she discovered Desi in the arms of yet another little starlet in his personal dressing room. (...I mean remember here, the day after "I Love Lucy" wrapped she filed for divorce, RIGHT?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 No, it was after Desilu Playhouse (or whatever it was called) some years later. The Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour was part of that for several years..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer5 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks for the clarification here, Hibi. Yes. It was the day after the last Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour with Ernie Kovacs & Edie Adams, when Lucy filed for divorce. This day was also Desi's 43rd birthday!

(...still though, this wouldn't invalidate my earlier little theory about Lucy HERSELF, and for the aforementioned reasoning, moving those beds apart, RIGHT?)

It's a work in progress) https://whimsicallyc....wordpress.com/ Thanks for the Jailhouse Rock review. Before this movie Judy Tyler was well known to us kids as Native American "Princess Summerfallwinterspring" on The Hoody Doody Show. I remember being excited about her movie break and disappointment when it turned out to be too adult for us to see. Of course I later got the chance to see it on TV and agree she would have been around a long time but for that accident. I also couldn't believe that anyone so young could die. The only other piece of adult acting I saw her in was the Perry Mason episode, The Case of the Fan Dancer's Horse. Ironically, Ernie Kovacs, who was in that last Luci-Desi Comedy Hour episode would die in the same way. I loved his crazy comedy show and felt like I'd lost a friend for days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCannady1 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 At what point did Lucy and Ricky push their two beds together, basically making one big bed? Wouldn't that have been before Bewitched? I am guessing near the end of the series. IT is funny that I never noticed that and just loved the show! I watched it so many times growing up and later. All 4 characters interacted so well together. I was very aad when Lucy and Desi split up for the last time. IT must have been so hard on Lucie (my age) and Desi Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so sorry to hear about Judy's fatal accident on her honeymoon. She and her husband were both killed in the car accident. I remember her vaguely in Romper Room and did see her in Jailhouse Rock and Perry Mason. The very episode I have is The Fan Dancer's Horse. I was so sad and shocked to read about what had happened to her. Sad about Ernie Kovacs too and Belinda Lee, the lovely British actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarjoe Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Lenny (1974) Bio Noir There is a very small sub genre of Classic Film Noirs and also Biographies or "true story" based films that have a quasi noir vibe, I call them Bio Noir's such as Dillinger (1945), Young Man with a Horn (1950), I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955), The Wrong Man (1956), Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), The Bonnie Parker Story (1958), I Want To live (1958), Baby Face Nelson (1957), In Cold Blood (1967), The Honeymoon Killers (1970), and Raging Bull (1980). Lenny easily slips into this lineup, and takes top honors. 9/10 More review in Film Noir/Gangster thread and NSFW Screencaps with full review here: http://noirsville.bl...-bio-noir.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sunrise at Campobello (1960) Nicely done account of FDR's early political life, including his bout with polio. Ralph Bellamy is so convincing as Roosevelt that I thought I was watching the real guy. For an actor in his mid-50s, he did some incredible physical acting, including crawling upstairs backwards without even breathing hard. Hume Cronyn offers some great support. However, I was disappointed with Greer Garson's performance as Eleanor. I have no clue why she would get nominated for an Oscar while Bellamy would not. I generally enjoy her work, but here she should have just used her own speaking voice, which was always pleasant, yet dignified. Instead, she tries to impersonate Mrs. Roosevelt and comes off sounding like Julia Child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Rich, I've always felt Greer's impression of Eleanor in this thing comes off sounding a little more like Dan Aykroyd's impression of Julia Child. (...ya know...kind'a like how my Cary Grant impression actually sounds a little more like Tony Curtis' impression of Cary Grant in that Wilder flick set in the '20s!)

It was considered pretty easy to imitate Eleanor in the 40's and 50's, since she was on radio and speaking in the newsreels enough to be common-- Even Judy Garland tried to do a convincing Eleanor in the restored patriotic Mickey & Judy number from the end of "Babes in Arms": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCannady1 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Talk about timing! LOL. Guess that was Desi's birthday gift. Terrible timing! When I was 9 that summer and picked up the TV Guide I will never forget the article - Lucy is Humilated. So I read inside that she was fed up with his affairs and this time - the third time they were on the rocks for good. But it was awful on Desi's birthday! As a big fan of the show. I really felt very bad for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
