As part of the Eva Marie Saint tribute, I would like to see The Trip to Bountiful . The very first production of that Horton Foote play took place on NBC-TV in 1953 and starred Lillian Gish, Eva Marie Saint, Eileen Heckert, and John Beal. Later in 1953, it opened on Broadway with Lillian Gish and E...

Looks like Tomorrow is Another Day is the Noir Alley feature (Saturday, midnight and again Sunday at 10:00 AM EDT). The first-rate noir, Gun Crazy is being shown Saturday, at 9:45 PM EDT, and Cast a Dark Shadow, a British mystery\thriller, Sunday at 8:30 AM EDT. I like Tomorrow is Another Day with S...

That is one interesting take. If that is the case by the end of the film, his name should be changed to a disease that is more fatal!

Depending on how one defines a noir film, Lizabeth Scott was in 9 noir films (and Bad for Each Other is NOT one of them), and was a femme fatale in only 2: Strange Loves of Martha Ivers - No Dead Reckoning - Yes Desert Fury - No I Walk Alone - No Pitfall - No Too Late for Tears - Yes Dark Corner - N...

I still say it is William Wyler.

Destroy All Monsters was on Svengoolie last night. I should post this under bad-movies-we-love!

I guess duplicative names were a thing for a hot minute? Berry Berry, Humbert Humbert As for the use of Berry-Berry in All Falls Down: I have always assumed the duplicate first name, was a sign of affection. One name wasn't enough to show how much they loved the child, so give him duplicate first n...

I guess I'm different. I grew up hating Fred MacMurray because of the Disney films and didn't become a fan until I saw Double Indemnity.

(and of course all of us are using "hating" very loosely).

If they showed Vietnam movies there would be so many asking why they’re showing newer movies. There is no pleasing people. True, however I have noticed TCM showing a lot of post-studio era films of late, and not that I think there's any problem with that. And now for one more comment about that sor...

William Wyler has to be right up there. I would also chose William Wyler. DODSWORTH (all the main actors) MRS. MiNIVER (Greer Garson) THE LITTLE FOXES (Bette Davis) THE HEIRESS (Olivia De Havilland) DETECTIVE STORY (most especially Eleanor Parker and Lee Grant) ROMAN HOLIDAY (Audrey Hepburn) FUNNY ...

Yea, I just googled Bree Daniels and found out she is an American porn star.

But the character's name is Berry-Berry, not Berry. The actors are just being true to the writer's creation. By the way, Evan Evans plays a role in the movie. She's one of Berry-Berry's women/victims. Gee, everyone knows all that. Still, to me it is annoying. Also, if you have read my POV all these...

William Wyler is my choice, especially for actresses. I believe the films he directed had the most nominations for best-actress, as well as wins.

I love ALL FALL DOWN. https://i.imgur.com/5kBU3MW.jpg I like All Fall Down. What I don't like is when Angela or Brandon say Berry-Berry. One Berry is enough for me. But the character's name is Berry-Berry, not Berry. The actors are just being true to the writer's creation. By the way, Evan Evans pl...

TCM is mostly a studio-era movie channel. Most of the Vietnam war films were released after the end of the studio-era. Also, many are anti-war films, and it is my understanding most Americans view the Vietnam war as a misguided (at best), conflict by the US government. Thus, showing such films on M...
