TopBilled Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Rosemary and Thyme - Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris play two gardeners who travel all over Europe and beyond refurbishing existing gardens and planting new ones and in their spare time are amateur sleuths. It's a terrific series. The scripts and actors are wonderful and the locations are a treat for the eye to behold. Breathtaking gardens and landscapes and locales. I have been wondering what this show was like...your description, of course, makes me now want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To be honest, I had to look up what anthologies exactly were). I know Creepshow and Creepshow 2, but I don't know if those are considered classics. Hope I helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaKatz Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Trio (1950) and Encore (1951) - Both films are anthologies each containing three adaptations of short stories by W. Somerset Maugham. "Quartet" (1948) was the first in this Maugham trilogy. New York Stories (1989) - 3 short stories each with a central NYC theme - directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen. O'Henry's Full House (1952) - John Steinbeck introduces 5 of O'Henry's most celebrated short stories written during his "New York" period during the early 1900's. The Story of 3 Loves (1953) - 3 passengers aboard an ocean liner reminisce about their past loves Dead of Night (1945) - British "horror" anthology with the central theme of an architect going to a house and once there he gets the feeling he has been there before and meets a group of people all who seem familiar to him. He tells them he has dreamt about each one of them and then lists events that occurred in the dream, thus prompting each individual to admit having experienced a strange and unexplainable event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryPeckfan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Most anthologies I know are TV shows. As for big screen adaptions, my favourite has already been mentioned: O Henry's Full House. I'm also a fan of Dead of Night and The Story of Three Loves (although the Red Shoes entry is not as good as the main Red Shoes movie despite my love of James Mason).

TopBilled Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Here's an anthology film, produced by Universal in the 1940s. Three separate stories connected by a supernatural theme. It's been a while since I watched it, though I recall it being quite excellent. Look at the cast: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 These are some different types of clowns (which I find rather interesting): Auguste (clumsy types, such as Bozo or Lucy Ricardo) Blackface (we all know what that is) Buffoon (self-explanatory) Harlequin (thwarts the plans of a lovestruck master, like Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream") Mimes (Marcel Marceau) Circus clowns (kids love 'em) Rodeo clowns (can't think of any famous ones, can you?) Tramps or hobos (Charlie Chaplin) Jester (think Danny Kaye for this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to include Mary Martin in my earlier post. Thanks for mentioning her. Would people consider Rita Hayworth a musical star? I think she is...she came from a very musical family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
