a very dear friend sent me a buttload of incredible DVDs, among them is 1978's DEATH ON THE NILE , which includes a MAKING OF FEATURETTE that I had NEVER seen and did not know existed (which surprises me as this film has been a minor obsession of mine) it's always weird for me to see PETER USTINOV ...

I'll be back later with a new spoiler.

It always warms my heart to find someone else who knows about this not very well-known gem.
It is probably my favorite Natalie Wood movie although I understand that she was not doing well personally when she was making PENELOPE.

PENELOPE

AND if you were a child of the 80s or 90s, you also ran the risk of HAVING YOUR DAD TAPE OVER IT WITH GOLF OR NASCAR. Also, there was a risk of accidentally recording something in the middle of something else you wanted to keep because you quickly grabbed a VHS tape without a label. So that Nada Su...

I'm posting this to highlight how amazing Helen Mirren looks at age 78 (she'll be 79 in July). Talk about aging graciously! https://assets.mycast.io/actor_images/actor-helen-mirren-440253_large.jpg?1653664296 Here's a photo of young Helen Mirren: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/65/c6/e665c6a876d2c...

Next clue:

A man and a woman both eat a piece of paper to avoid detection.

CI, I think we need another clue.

Anyone catch the Jennifer Jones/Joseph Cotton double feature on Sun. night? Neither of those films are shown on TCM very much. I tuned in during the middle of Portrait of Jennie (not realizing it was on). I love Love Letters, but it ran too late, so I recorded it to watch this wknd. I love the scor...

I think Aumont was with his mistress: Oh yeah, MAHOGANY. You've got to love a movie that features Tony Perkins and Jean-Pierre Aumont. or this unforgettable pose...... https://media.tenor.com/CYXdi_GWi7AAAAAC/diana-ross-mahogany.gif Oh, CI, that's so wrong . . . . . . but it's so right.

For me, the post that was last week's Gem of the Week was this one by Bronxgirl48 in the Theater topic in the Off Topic General Chat forum: Post by Bronxgirl48 » April 19th, 2024, 9:19 pm Late 1970's Los Angeles, I saw Ron Moody backstage in his underwear at a production of OLIVER.

I have a pretty complicated and nit picky PERRY MASON QUESTION and it is entirely possible that no one will have the answer for it, but: If you go to the IMDb top 10 highest rated episodes FOR PERRY MASON and then you go and you look up THE SERIES on FREEVEE or AMAZON or PARAMOUNT PLUS- almost HALF...

Late 1970's Los Angeles, I saw Ron Moody backstage in his underwear at a production of OLIVER. He wasn't very friendly. Bronxgirl, this is probably my favorite SSO post this week! I literally laughed out loud when I read it. "Reviewing The Situation" indeed . . . This reminds me of a pers...

"There's energy in chocolate. Ah need energy."

Paul Thomas Anderson has chosen two fun ones for his Two For One movies tonight (April 20).

THE BAD NEWS BEARS (1976)
BUGSY MALONE (1976)


I own a copy of BUGSY MALONE, but I'll watch Paul Thomas Anderson's comments about the movie if it's on Watch TCM

Lucrecia Martel’s LA CIÉNAGA is airing again as part of TCM Imports. I know when it aired a few years ago some posters at the old TCM message boards commented that they found the movie boring. Not me! As soon I finished watching, I watched it again ---- which something I hardly ever do with an entir...
