Thanks, Professional Tourist, for that date! Is there anything Danny COULDN'T do? Your Majesty! lol That was my first viewing of Danny on the Cosby show -- he's hilarious! I never had any of the albums unfortunately. The genius of how Danny plays the dentist is that he's doing it as part vaudeville ...

Professional Tourist, I'm going to watch that clip again (because my memory always seems to be failing me, lol) and re-catch those cultural references you speak of. Jackie, I love that USO clip! Always poignant seeing the enlisted men's reactions. Ha, Danny's git-gat was so versatile! It could fit a...

Wow SueSue, Danny and Bev are fantastic together! Was that from his television show? So funny, lol, was Purina one of the sponsors?

Thanks, SueSue! Oh my gosh, Danny is astounding with Louis! (and I love the way he imitates him, lol) As soon as you posted the Tickety-Boo lyrics, I was singing them out loud, ha! What a great way to teach your students! Danny is universal! I've always loved the way he used his arms and hands -- wi...

Danny was charismatic and sexy! I love this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWC65MZthwE Also: (it's actually my favorite part of THE COURT JESTER, because I just love watching cute guys being tender with babies) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fteMYl0Dzk And the movie that first introduced me to D...

A shot of whiskey with a beer chaser, which Myrna as Mrs. Devaney in AIRPORT 1975 really enjoys, lol.

SueSue, I really enjoyed Danny's Day. My favorite as a tyke and teen was HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON and I still love singing along to "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen". Great tunes over-all but Joey Walsh still gives me the creeps, lol. I re-visited UP IN ARMS, THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY...

I've been pronouncing it wrong too, Bronxie, if Melina is to be trusted.... I love that trailer, everything about it, except for the conspicuous lack of Maximilian Schell scenes shown. You'd think they'd have wanted to capitalize on his good looks. It's one of my very favorite movies and was my int...

kingme, AIRPORT 1975 is entertaining. And they use a real 747! At least I can get through it without feeling queasy (and needing a Myrna Loy boilermaker) like with THE BABY, lol.

Jackie, yes, Alexis is in STEEL AGAINST THE SKY. But she always looks more comfortable in noir. I'd love to hear Stan and Ollie in those other two languages, German and Italian. Somehow I think German would suit Ollie best, when he's railing against Laurel. I love how they got the perfect Mae Busch-...

I recently saw AIRPORT 1975 for the first time.

Glorious Badness.





The inspiration for:



But you can't beat the original.

I always find it fun to listen to the different ways people pronounce RIFIFFI and TOPKAPI. :) I like the TOPKAPI trailer, and never realized I've been pronouncing Peter Ustinov's name wrong all these years. According to Melina, it's "Oooh-TEE-nov". (I guess much like Akim Tah-MEER-off) I'...

Lloyd Nolan and nice pits don't automatically become synonymous in my mind, but he does look good in this movie! This is the one that's a remake of the Jimmy Cagney Pat O'Brien THE IRISH IN US, I think? Almost a shot for shot steal in that underwear scene. I can't think of anyone who is better at p...

I for one supports BronxGirl48's assessment that Victor Mature was an underrated actor. :) I know I'm not alone in this, king, and that makes me happy, because Victor certainly deserves praise! I tend to get his gladiator roles a bit mixed up, though; it always seems he's with Jean Simmons in ancie...
