  • Enjoy AVTAK @ToTheRight, but as one 1985 review stated: ".. everything about this film screams old.
  • To update (after the 1st round): https://twitter.com/classic_film/status/1660854659999842305
  • A nice one @ToTheRight .... very nice! :x And speaking of "girls in sweaters", I watched THE ASPHALT JUNGLE again today (while waiting for the repairman to arrive). What a film!!! One way or another, we all work for our vice.
  • FYI, Eddie and Ms. Ann-Margret will be introducing ONCE A THIEF on TCM (Tuesday, May 23rd at 8:00PM EST). Several years ago, Eddie and actress Dana Delaney introduced it. A great neo-noir(ish) film IMO. https://twitter.com/tcm/status/166079031067…
  • A very funny Beatles' recording @RichardTheBruce featuring Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Eventually released as the B-side to LET IT BE.
  • FYI, For those of you on twitter, the "Classic Film TV Cafe" is having a bracket style game with TV themes. https://twitter.com/classic_film/status/1660043749576114177
  • Here is the link @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/21398/the-quick-and-fun-felix-leiter-elimination-game/p6 The clip consists of portions of two interviews that Casey did with NFL films. One, during his playing days,…
  • https://twitter.com/Ol_TimeFootball/status/1659649970922979328 A nice photo @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. I posted an interview that Casey did with NFL films some years ago in the "Felix Leiter" tread. Like Jim Brown, he was a "different breed of cat."

  • Agreed @DarthDimi. I have a bit of a love/hate thing going with MR and as I’ve posted on various threads over the years, I do find MR a perfect movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon when I don’t want to think too hard. Lots of eye candy and Barry’s …
  • Based on my prior rankings (which I see no reason to change): * TSWLM * FYEO * LALD * OP * MR * NSNA * DAF * TMWTGG * AVTAK ...about this sudden love for MR...
  • I hope things work out @ToTheRight. There are a lot of familiar names in that cast, including Natalie "Lovey" Schafer. :))
  • Nice pics @RichardTheBruce. I have a DVD of "What's Up Tiger Lily?", Woody Allen's comic "dub" of Key of the Keys, (the name is Moskowitz, Phil Moskowitz!) but I've never actually seen the original film. Sometimes it's easy to forget just how …
  • @RichardTheBruce In addition to her work opposite giant apes ("Madame Piranha") and a certain "beast from the east" (Fumiko Sakarai) she did some additional spy work on the side. Ironfinger (1965) (aka" 100 Shot, 100 Killed' - reddish bikini this…
  • Fifty years ago, today – May 14th, 1973 – Skylab was launched. Skylab itself had a very long and tortuous road to the launch pad and it had issues once in flight. How those issues were overcome were critical in laying the foundations of future pr…
  • For those of you in the New Jersey/New York area the Barrymore Film Center in Fort Lee, NJ is screening many of the older Bond films this weekend (May 12 to May 14th). OHMSS (May 12th) DN (May 13th) FRWL (May 13) GF (May 13) TB (May 14th) YO…
  • @ToTheRight :Those KL Studio Classics "mini box sets" have a great reputation. The transfers are generally first rate and most of the films have an auto-commentary (at least) as a bonus feature. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on their Ida …
  • The Mysterians (1959) Directed by Ishirō Honda (May 7th marked 112 years since his birth) Starring: Kenji Sahara, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Yumi Shirakawa and Momoko Kōchi The US Release Poster Aliens come to Earth to take our land (j…

  • Odds and Ends: It seems like I have more reading to do in the next few weeks as the new issue of NOIR CITY has been released. I’m particularly excited to dive into Orson Welles’ THE TRIAL (1962) since I missed it when it was screened here in New …

  • A nice spoof of THE THIRD MAN from 1986 with the great Robbie Coltrane doing a spot-on Orson Welles. :))
  • In honor of the 82nd anniversary of its’ world premiere (May 1, 1941), I watched CITIZEN KANE for about the 50th time! Since I can’t possibly add anything to the mountain of literature that has already been written about this film, I’ll just add tha…
