Jim Brown (The Dirty Dozen, Kenner, Tick Tick Boom, Ice Station Zebra, The Split, Mars Attacks) And I just thought too of Alex Karras (Paper Lion, Blazing Saddles, Victor/Victoria, Against All Odds)

Next: Appeared in a musical despite not being known as a singer.

Pick any number of scores by John Barry (The Tamarind Seed, Somewhere in Time, Frances, Out of Africa, Peggy Sue Got Married) Peggy Sue likely cause the biggest bucket of tears though, so I'll go with that one.

next: a movie that is beautifully photographed.

I'll be back later with a new spoiler. It always warms my heart to find someone else who knows about this not very well-known gem. It is probably my favorite Natalie Wood movie although I understand that she was not doing well personally when she was making PENELOPE. I've known about it for quite a...

We now turn to tackle 1948, which seems like a very popular year. The next one up will be 1993. 1948 (Films Seen: 113) The Best: 1 Portrait of Jennie 2 Letter from an Unknown Woman 3 I Remember Mama 4 Fort Apache 5 The Boy with Green Hair 6 The Red Shoes 7 They Live by Night 8 A Foreign Affair 9 Red...

Regarding Sylvia Miles, I honestly thought she was hysterically funny in her small part in 1989's She-Devil as Meryl Streep's vengeful mother who rats all of her daughter's dirty secrets to a People magazine reporter as payback for having been put in a nursing home.

He only lived about half as long as his father Henry Ford did to boot.

Yes. Never liked Hazel, even as a kid! Perry needed that extra power to move him along. Especially in the later seasons when he had put on quit a few pounds. His weight really fluctuated during the series. I recall that Raymond Burr had to go on a major crash diet to even be cast as Perry Mason. He...

Yes, that's the one! Your turn!

Editing to put the clues together at the top of a new page. 1. A bride is severely ticked to find another woman trying to seduce her husband on their wedding night. 2. A man and a woman both eat a piece of paper to avoid detection. 3. A woman donates a dress to charity, but not for the most upstandi...

As promised, a trip back to over 100 years ago. No worst films for me in these lists, only best. The next year up will be 1948. 1920 (Films Seen:16) 1 Way Down East 2 The Love Flower 3 Pollyanna 4 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligeri 5 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 6 Nurse Marjorie 7 Leaves from Satan's Book 1921 ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kFdUIm1ezI I remember this scene! Made me laugh. In a similar Edsel vein, I had to laugh at one of the later episodes of the (all-too-short-lived) early 1990s series Brooklyn Bridge, which was set in 1956 and 1957. One supporting character was a cynical middle-aged ...

Song of Norway was Florence Henderson's shot at being the new Julie Andrews. She and the film failed miserably. I'll give the film this much: it was exquisitely photographed and the music was beautiful. Otherwise, I'll go by what Thumper's mother said: "If you can't say something nice, don't s...

https://twitter.com/TCMComingUp/status/1783231942399324303 & the final death knell for '70s musicals AND Cinerama... :lol: :roll: I didn't see this film, but I saw the earlier Song of Norway, made by the same group of people. That film made The Sound of Music look like A Clockwork Orange by com...

just FYI Leonard Maltin still gives the film a BOMB rating in his annual Movie and Video Guide, stating "Beautiful source material has been raped, murdered and buried". Oddly enough, there are some rave reviews for this film on imdb. No accounting for taste, I guess. Granted, adapting thi...

I'm waiting for TCM to air Monogram Month. I do realize that would only happen in my (and many others) dreams. Let's not forget that they changed their name later on to Allied Artists. Yes and the films were a lot better! LOL. Yes. Under that name, the former monogram did Friendly Persuasion, Invas...
