Re: I Just Watched...
I saw OIALN when it was on TCM a year or so ago. It had a bit of a look of a TV movie, not that that's a major problem. Very emblematic of the early 1970s. Didn't white knight Markham turn out to be married? So maybe Janet Leigh had a point, at least to some degree. I'm watching The Strangers in 7A ...

Re: Noir Alley
I like Dark Passage even though there are some implausibilities in the movie. Nicely done with a good cast of supporting actors--the cabby who doesn't know where to go for a good time but does know where to go for quickie plastic surgery, the rundown doctor who apparently knows his business. I would...

I wouldn't trust either one of them, but a fictional character is harmless.HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑Yesterday, 2:30 pm
Yes, a less articulate Lonesome Rhodes with the physical presence of Jabba The Hut.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I've seen it a couple of times, though not recently. From what I remember the
Redgrave character makes Maxim de Winter seem totally normal. Replicas of
murder rooms. Red flag anyone. Get the hell out of there lady.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I hadn't seen Rebecca in a long time until it was on TCM a while back. It's a rather silly though fairly enjoyable as entertaining fluff. And suave George Sanders chowing down on a chicken leg. Both the leading men of Rebecca and Marnie are kind of jackasses. Larry goes to pieces at the least little...

Re: I Just Watched...
Coincidentally, Return to Mayberry the 1986 TV movie was on METV this afternoon. IIRC it was a big hit when first shown. Not much of a plot, but it was fun to see the characters as they are almost 20 years later. I remember Andy in a few TV movies where he was a real mean s.o.b. and he was quite con...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Ha!!! They overdid the New York "spunk" with that one transit guy (not Matthau) initially dealing with Robert Shaw's demands of $1,000,000 or passengers would be killed: "Dream on, maniac!" With lives on the line like this you'd think a bit more diplomacy would have been used. Y...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
lol, I thought it was weird that the actor playing the NYC mayor was an Ed Koch look-a-like. He wouldn't become mayor until 1978. It should have been Abraham Beame in 1974. I realize they couldn't make fun of an actual real-life politician but as a born and bred New Yawker that definitely was Ed! I...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Ben Stiller. What a precocious kid. Just kiddin'. Pelham is a wonderful 1970s thriller.
Thrills, chills, spills, and laughs too. I was kind of hoping that Martin Balsam would
get away with it. I get a kick of the the finale, as if the sound of a sneeze would
hold up in court. Hey, it's just a movie.

Re: I Just Watched...
Gertie believed in an informal office atmosphere.
{She'll show up sooner or later. Della didn't need
to smoke that often. She got plenty of second-hand
smoke from Perry's & Paul's coffin nails.}

Re: I Just Watched...
LOL! Hopper was good casting as Drake. I don't think he could've carried the show as Perry. I don't think it would've been the long running hit it became. Perry needed someone with gravitas. "Star Quality". Burr had it. Hopper was a good supporting actor. I never realized they ever showed...
