And then and as its original trailer boldly states: "No one word ever heralded such a heart-pounding experience, and because no one word ever charged the screen with such terror, horror, excitement, mystery"...there's... https://www.themoviedb.org/t/p/w440_and_h660_face/izusa2K3Xatwme5Y7cw...
While not an old photo, I loved the following "Glimpse of Golden Age Hollywood" (and in this case about Linda Darnell, starting at the 1:27 mark) that Carol Burnett relayed to Stephen Colbert while she took his Colbert Questionert last week on his program. I think you folks will like it to...
Actually, it's no big secret. I just located the issue of the L.A. Times that featured the article. The interesting point about the story is that Producer Arthur Jacobs was going to cast the winner of the contest as a chimpanzee in the film, but when he saw the lady, decided he'd rather cast her as...
Leo. G. Carroll slowly pointing the gun on himself and pulling the trigger in Spellbound . My what a big gun and hand you have. Yeah, the hand holding the revolver isn't actually the most lifelike or realistic looking thing you'll ever see in a movie, is it. https://youtu.be/tRiuo_KlvCk (...btw, ev...
...Didn't hear any complaints about CA after that!! This couple are very nice and fine people, but like so many, make clueless generalizations. Gee, I'm actually kind'a surprised that showing 'em the facts would shut 'em up here, James?!!!! I mean, surely they must've had OTHER reasons for their mo...
I love the poignant film friendship of Sol and Thorn... Interesting anecdote to the SOYLENT GREEN duo, Dargo, which you're almost certainly already familiar: Charlton Heston eulogized Edward G. Robinson!! Yep, Eddie G. died within a few weeks of its post-production, as I recall. However, there's ab...
Honestly don't have to double-check: the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena!! (I think. ;) ) Yep, that's it! Or, at least WAS it, anyway. 'Cause as I'm sure you know, that location is now where they would build that stadium where they play that game in which almost all players aren't allow to use th...
...There are some real nutcases out there in the heartland. OH yeah there are and always have been. Now, MY personal little "favorites" of these kind'a folks have always been those who after some natural catastrophe has befallen the state of California, they'll opine the idea that that's ...

Damn, Dargo, I wish I'd come up with that one!
So NS, you fellow ol' SoCal boy, you. Can you tell me where the exterior shots were filmed in this flick and as Eddie G. walks toward that assisted suicide building?
When I hear the opening strains of Beethoven's 6th (Pastoral) Symphony, still to day and after over 50 years of first watching it unfold on the silver screen, I sometimes think back to how Edward G. Robinson decided to end his life in the film 'Soylent Green'... https://youtu.be/SW4-jcTnjLo And now ...
As a side note, the winner, Dominique Green, was cast in the upcoming Battle For The Planet of the Apes . Wow! Now THAT'S impressive that you know this, Rich! So, in addition to being a guru of silents, you're ALSO very knowledgeable about beauty contestants TOO, eh?! ;) Gotta admit #2 DOES have a ...
I've always felt one of the more interesting and unusual means a character willingly ends his life is shown at the end of the film 'The Light That Failed' (1939). Ronald Colman, a former British soldier who becomes a painter and who gradually goes blind and thus does not want to live any longer, ret...
Dargo, would not be surprised to read that you'd attended the following CONQUEST contest to promote the 1972 installment: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/81/2d/ac/812dacf5cd52ec286788732f0edfb82c.jpg Heck, wouldn't be surprised if you'd subbed for Gary Owens during some of that day!! Oh yeah! I was there...
