A Man's Castle
I saw A Man's Castle a few years ago; I'm pretty sure it was at The Castro in SF. Although I love precodes and enjoy seeking out early performances by major stars such as Tracy, this one was hard for me to take, due to the unsympathetic character he plays. IIRC, she is homeless, he picks her up in t...

Hi Moira - try this site: www.allrecipes.com
I like this site because you can search for recipes according to ingredients, i.e. brownie mix & peanut butter. This is where I go when I'm in the mood to bake something and am limited to what's in my cupboard.

Mad Men on AMC
I never watch movies on this channel anymore, but had read some good reviews about this new series and was curious to check it out. I also have Comcast cable and this is an offering on their On Demand menu. For those who have not heard of this yet, it is a drama that takes place in the world of a Ma...

Re: Thanks!
Marco, I thought the woman in the plaid dress looked like the English actress Millicent Martin, so I looked her up on IMDb and, sure enough, there she was - this was part of a two episode series from one of the Disney TV shows of the 60s called "Disneyland." These episodes were called &qu...

Ben baby - thanks so much for finding these! I like the Bing Crosby version because it includes the verse, and the song is meant to be sung by a man. The Fleischer toon is fun too, but leads me to wonder about something else. Although I am familiar with the bouncing ball format, it is before my time...

Just a Gigolo - the tune
I was watching Flying Down to Rio for a bit last night, and in the scene where Dolores Del Rio realizes it is Gene Raymond piloting the plane, he quips the lyrics, "just a gigolo, everywhere I go". I was taken aback as I had no idea this tune was so old - I am only familiar with the Louis ...

This movie is one of my favorites, although I am not fond of Robert Cummings, I think it is his strongest performance, as well as Ronald Reagan's. And Claude Rains, Betty Field, Ann Sheridan all give strong portrayals. I find it hard to watch Charles Coburn in any other film without recalling his ro...

Blood Money 1933 w/Francis Dee FMC 9/8/07
Yowzza! I was just scanning the online schedule for Fox Movie Channel and found this precode listed to play 9/8/07. Anyone seen it? I think it was playing recently at a Film Forum festival. I wonder if it is as tawdry as Story of Temple Drake? Gee - 1933 must be one of my favorite years!

Follow Thru - on the big screen
Hi gang - well, I just recently saw this little "gem" on the big screen at the Stanford Theatre and am almost at a loss for words to describe the experience - I'm glad I saw it, but having experienced it once, have no need to endure it again (like Wagner). I was so curious to see it, as th...

I was looking forward to seeing this until I saw the previews - won't bother now. I did see the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley, but was so put off by the modern demeanor and tone of the characters - ended up really hating that version! My favorite film adaptation of Austen ...
