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 p...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

On that self-congratulatory 30th TCM anniversary: "We like to get things right" Well of course human beings make mistakes but it seems the channel is churning out more and more of them. Because of some mysterious glitch last night with DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID, we were treated to an extra...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

I have a heads-up for today (Friday) on TCM at 6 p.m. EST -- CARNIVAL STORY. Do not miss this delightfully seedy tale, filmed on location in Munich, of three men vying for the love of a sexy drifter played by Anne Baxter with her unique brand of hamminess. She falls hard for Steve Cochran who is his...

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&qu...

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...

Swithin, I used to get confused as well with those hunchback characters. Your "hunch" (sorry) is correct -- Naish is the one in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. He falls in love with a gypsy girl (Elena Verdugo, who has eyes for someone else...) Poor Daniel.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Actually now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been so surprised. They choose Betty Compson as their birthday girl for March 19th.

TCM programming dept.: "Whose birthday should we celebrate for May 2nd?" -- "How about Theodore Bikel?" -- "Great!" LOL Bless their hearts. (but then they don't even schedule I BURY THE LIVING) You're now officially Southern, with that "Bless their hearts"......

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

lol, I thought it was weird that the actor playing the NYC mayor was an Ed Koch look-a-like. He wouldn't become mayor until 1978. It should have been Abraham Beame in 1974. I realize they couldn't make fun of an actual real-life politician but as a born and bred New Yawker that definitely was Ed! I...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is coming up next! One of the legendary worst movies, it is still more entertaining than what I'm trying to get through now for my first viewing: TOWARD THE UNKNOWN. When Bill Holden's leading lady is Virginia Leith, (in addition to a cornball script), you know it's turkey ti...

Wesley Addy summed it all up but we still don't buy it. Fish four days old, etc. in signature Odets parlance, lol.

Hibi -- I seem to recall you missed the last TCM airing of REBECCA. Well, it's on this evening! (along with MARNIE)
