Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
It's difficult to pick the "greatest" American musicals. Musica;s are my favorite movie genre, but I tend to go with ones I like rather than ones that scholars and critics would call "great." So, my favorite American musicals are: 1. Cabaret [probably no surprise to anyone] 2. Vi...

Re: SPOILERS!
It sounds like Son Of Fury with the beautiful Tyrone Power and the beautiful Gene Tierney as the native girl, both of them were at the height of their beauty.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Just once I'd love to see THE BIRDS and MARNIE without an intro or outro mentioning Hitchcock's misogynistic treatment of women, Tippi Hedren in particular (and now I've learned he also sexually harrassed Diane Baker). Last night I heard that a major theme in his movies is "the dominant male&q...

Re: I Just Watched...
They've started showing Miss Marple ones before Poirot now. I've seen many of those (with McEwen and Julia MacKenzie at least), but it's been awhile so I don't remember them well). I've never seen the original (her name escapes me) which is considered the best one. So unlike Margaret Rutherford's l...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
When needing a quick dessert I sometimes mix chocolate chip morsels into my Philadelphia cream cheese and then just gobble it up on a plate. A bagel isn't even necessary! ONE TOUCH OF VENUS just concluded, and I remembered almost every line of dialogue. I've always however thought how unfortunate t...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
"Disaster to the wench who did wrong by our Johnny." (Oops, wrong movie.) In the right movie, Bart Hunter (Arthur Kennedy) says "Molly is merely a succulent little wench!" My favorite A SUMMER PLACE quote is Molly (in Sandra Dee's New Jersey accent) saying to her mother: "J...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I saw the outro to GREY GARDENS last night while I was waiting for Noir Alley. Olivia Wilde, wearing a lovely green pantsuit, was the guest who had chosen it. She said all the things you might expect--no, it wasn't exploitative, the Maysles Brothers weren't manipulative, etc. That's not how I saw i...

Re: Theater
Wow!!!! Tom Francis's performance of "Sunset Boulevard" from Sunset Blvd at the Olivier Awards was epic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVKGIscnLyU And then for him to win the Best Actor in a Musical award! I am so glad I'll get to see him in New York when the show transfers to Broadway.

Re: WONKA ('23)
It's on HBO now, so I took a look over Easter weekend. ... the whole film feels like something that wondered in from the big musical era of the late 60s. That gives it enough charm, coupled with some nifty sets and camera tricks So happy you posted this. Watched it last night and found it charming....

Re: Films that made you cry
About 35 years ago, I made the "mistake" of telling a group of buddies, we were milling about after some meeting or ruther, that Dumbo made me cry. Man, did they get on my case, or what! Some razzing, but it was okay, I was a little defensive but feelings were not all that hurt. Then, som...
