Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Yes, I've never understood that Ellen Corby sequence and it's never explained. Apparently she was paid off to say that, I assume. In the Donald Spoto book The Art Of Hitchcock Hitchcock called scenes like this "ice box talk", a knot in the narrative which people may ponder at home after t...

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 se...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
It was very hard believing someone like Judy could pull off being Madeline, no matter how much "coaching" she had. That jumping into the ocean bit fascinates me because when Scottie phones Elster to tell him about it, there is a pregnant pause from Elster's end, which I took to mean he di...

A lot of her scenes were cut. (the growing up part).Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑May 5th, 2024, 8:49 pm 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.

Re: Noir Alley
The plastic surgery segment in DARK PASSAGE always creeps me out, including a scary looking Bogie with those bandages. It almost seems like a nod back from Warner's to their 1930's urban horror thrillers, DR. X, MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM and THE RETURN OF DR. X. Yes! And what doctor is available fo...

Re: I Just Watched...
I only pay for cable TV as well. The above channels are free. You would need a streaming device and you have Internet. My Xfinity/Comcast TV box has a select amount of Internet services. Nothing to directly compete with them. I am experimenting with streaming to learn and hopeful dump cable televis...

Re: I Just Watched...
Back to Perry Mason. Bette was on last night pinch hitting for Perry defending Michael Parks. (Does anyone know what his operation was about when he was out of the show for awhile? It's not a very good episode (I'd seen it before). It must've been shot around the time of Dead Ringer as she's wearin...

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...
Right now Pluto TV, The Roku Channel and Freevee Live are showing "Amsterdam Kill" on Murder, She Wrote. The Freevee app has MSW On-Demand, 6 seasons. The Amazon Prime app is needed for the Freevee live channels. I have none of those services. Just straight cable tv. But MSW is on 3 or 4 ...

Re: May 2024 Schedule Posted, Asian Stars featured
I'm getting tired of these group SOTMs or "trying to right past wrongs" SOTMs by focusing on a minority SOTM who was never really a star. There are so many stars waiting for a month that have NEVER been chosen and TCM seems to have no interest in showcasing them. Sessue Hayakawa is an Aca...
