Re: I Just Watched...
Or --- TRILOGY OF TERROR! Actually it was Lee Grant as Alex's mother who was the real scary one. I barely recognized Jill Clayburgh as the Israeli girl. A lot of her scenes were cut. (the growing up part). Lee's? If the ones they left in were any indication I frankly can't even imagine those they c...

I am still recovering from PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT. Oy vey. Not the best choice..... LOL. I warned you! " You sure did but I couldn't tear myself away from the horror, particularly Lee demanding Richard Benjamin show her his poop. "You've been eating at that frankfurter place after school!!&q...

Re: I Just Watched...
Ladies and gentlemen, submitted for your bad movie approval -- ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER. Kindly ignore imdb comments along the lines of "this is groundbreaking in terms of feminist cinema". Well, you know what I say to that? Horse manure!! 1972, Trish Van Devere is left high and dry by Engli...

Just think how interesting that courtroom scene in THE CHEAT would have been on Perry Mason.

Bing's toupee looks good, which is the only positive thing I can say about this family drama which for me is a slog.

Re: I Just Watched...
I never get tired of A FACE IN THE CROWD (which is a good thing since they air it so much, lol) so decided to dive in again. Now, some of you might know that my recent great will power (not when it comes to Lay's Dill Pickle potato chips) concerning maintaining a calm attitude towards a certain mai...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I have to confess that I've never truly understood VERTIGO, much less why it's been on Top Ten lists as one of the greatest American movies. I have less of a problem with Scottie than I do with dumb needy masochistic Judy, putty in the hands of controlling men to be sure. Everyone in this story is ...

Re: I Just Watched...
Oh my gosh, txfilmfan, I got a chill reading that! Had no idea... Or, to quote Lonesome, "Moly Hoses!" This short story has a quote from Griffith himself on his temper.. https://www.metv.com/stories/andy-griffth-even-keeled-andy-taylor Thanks so much! At least he was self-aware.

Re: I Just Watched...
Lorna, love your THE MIND READER post. I'm not gung-ho about Warren William in general but "a walking venereal disease", wow, lol. (wonder who that person is) I always found him stage-hammy, but gentlemanly. I usually never believe him in any role, most particularly an ichthyologist. But n...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Wow, I never knew about that coda, txfilmfan! What a great post, thank you. Raises more (important) questions! Not only the ones you mentioned, but Madeline's car supposedly parked at the hotel but which desk clerk Ellen Corby refutes. Was she paid to say that? For some reason I always enjoy the sen...

Re: I Just Watched...
Lonesome Rhodes is one of those come-from-nowhere performances that always astound me. I wonder where Andy pulled that darkness from? Great acting. I can understand your feelings, jimimac, about NTFS but I do think AFITC is one of Kazan's best. One never expects to see Walter Matthau as "Vander...

I like Melvyn Douglas as an actor but when he aged looked just like my Uncle Louie from Queens.
