-Anyone seen this before?

It's been in the rotation over on one of PlutoTV's movie channels, although of course with ads. Not a bad movie, although at times it felt a bit stagy.

I mentioned Barbara Baxley a while back. She wasn't a big star or a glamorpuss, but I always thought she was as cute as a button and with those big Bette Davis eyes. Maybe they wouldn't let Cary be the murderer a la Suspicion . https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/exorcist9990/images/5/5b/Barbara_Ba...

Decoration Day should be devoted to Civil War movies.

Isn't Venu a character from Scientology?

Ask me how excited I am seeing Edward G. Robinson taking a bath in KEY LARGO.

I'm reminded of a comment I made about the early 30s movie Flesh: the problem with the movie is that we all want to see Karen Morley's flesh, but instead we only get Wallace Beery's flesh.

THE PRIZE (1963) Tongue-in-cheek, glossy, schlocky combo of NORTH BY NORTHWEST and GRAND HOTEL (listen to Leo G. Carroll's closing line). Can someone please explain Elke Sommer to me? Has she ever been good in anything? And is this or TORN CURTAIN Paul Newman's worst performance? Newman's about as ...

Not Welcome to Mooseport.

Wild Rovers (1971) Ryan O'Neal and William Holden play ranch hands on the Montana cattle ranch owned by Karl Malden. When O'Neal finds that even old guy Holden doesn't have much money saved up, he jokes that perhaps the only way for a cowhand to get the money to start his own spread is to rob a ban...

Miracle Mile (1989) Anthony Edwards visits the La Brea tarpits one day and meets Mare Winningham, spending the day with her and agreeing to meet late that night at an all-night diner. However, his alarm clock doesn't go off and he shows up late, calling her from a pay phone to try explain things. T...

You forgot Mildred Pierce.

Altered States (1980). Apparently, somebody gave Paddy Chayefsky an odd idea: write a darkly comic version of the third act of 2001: A Space Odyssey . William Hurt plays a college professor who as a student was interested in sensory deprivation tanks and what the experience is like. Years later as ...

Not all prints of Spellbound have the red tinting in that scene.
