The Hucksters (1947) TCM On Demand 7/10 A veteran (Clark Gable) returns from WWII and takes a job in an advertising agency. An entertaining film, a first time viewing for me. This was an early look at the advertising business which became more popular in the 1950s and 1960s with films like The Man ...

In Mature noir films for 20th Century Fox, he was very vulnerable without coming off as weak; We see this side of his screen persona regardless of if he was on the wrong side of the law (Kiss of Death), or on the side of the law (Cry of the City. This side of Mature was put to good use by the direct...

I'm a member of the National Audubon Society. Birds are cute and add so much to my enjoyment of nature on my daily hike.

Great to see a fine actor like Victor Mature get some credit.

Well you answered one of my questions about this site and that was if Canadians could join. I assumed YES, but I don't recall seeing MSWonderly and some of the others. Look forward to discussing films with you and I plan to stay out of politics (I don't even know if this site allows for that, but e...

Actually Nipkowdisc came fourth. There were three winners then Nipkowdisc became the alternate. Sort of like if Miss America cannot fulfill her duties Nipkowdisc would step in and get the $10 gift certificate. Yes, I now recall. Are you Bogie56 from the TCM site? I ask because the avatar photo is t...

Very nice write-up of the film White Cargo. This is one of my favorite films Lamarr is featured in since she gets a more gritty part which, as noted, allows her to be more than just a beautiful face.

HEY, and btw...how's the house comin' along lately? The major project at the moment is installing a door between the laundry room and the garage so that one does not have to go through spare/storage/unwelcome-guest room to reach garage. Removing ugly painted paneling revealed that it had been insta...

As for the whole "God" thing and TB, I was once part of a website based on the same forum software (it was the movie group that kicked me to the curb), and I am pretty sure that the site creator always gets "God" listed next to his name, and the same might be true for the most f...

The Steiner documentary was nice to see on TCM. I watched it and then went to the NBA since all the associated films shown, I have seen multiple times.

I have posted my experiences with six movies in: 'The Films' board. I have contributed to two threads in: 'Off Topic -> General Chat' and created a new thread. I do not know how much more I can do. It is not as if I can be 'interesting' on demand. :smiley_chinrub: I, for one (and I know that I'm no...

This is a true story, and I don’t tell many of these, but I never paid much attention to lips on a man, some are thin and some are thick. It is how you smoke a cigarette and drink a drink. So, my third or fourth day on the job as front desk clerk at the hotel one of the maids comes up to the desk a...
