Re: Top Ten Robert Ryan Films
Just watched Robert Ryan on Zane Grey, a TV western from the late 50s\early 60s. Ryan was solid as a rancher. His wife was played by Cloris Leachman. There was one minor character actor it took me a while to recognize: Don Castle. Looks like but this stage of his career he was a bit player (not that...

Re: Noir Alley
Use of "one of" and "contemporary" gives one a lot of wiggle room!cmovieviewer wrote: ↑May 10th, 2024, 7:49 pm To represent Eddie properly, his actual quote was that Follow Me Quietly is "one of the first contemporary serial killer movies made in Hollywood."
I'm sure he will say more this weekend.

Re: !
...Didn't hear any complaints about CA after that!! This couple are very nice and fine people, but like so many, make clueless generalizations. Gee, I'm actually kind'a surprised that showing 'em the facts would shut 'em up here, James?!!!! I mean, surely they must've had OTHER reasons for their mo...

...There are some real nutcases out there in the heartland. OH yeah there are and always have been. Now, MY personal little "favorites" of these kind'a folks have always been those who after some natural catastrophe has befallen the state of California, they'll opine the idea that that's ...

I like Dark Passage even though there are some implausibilities in the movie. Nicely done with a good cast of supporting actors--the cabby who doesn't know where to go for a good time but does know where to go for quickie plastic surgery, the rundown doctor who apparently knows his business. I woul...

Re: I Just Watched...
I will put in a good word for Arty Tragg. I never got the impression that he loathed Perry and Paul. Naturally they were on opposite sides, but for the most part Tragg kept his cool. In some episodes he would come to Perry's office at the end and pass along something that had made Burger mad and al...

Re: I Just Watched...
Does anyone recall Ben's closing comments after Guys and Dolls. I saw the intro but only watched the first half of the film. In Ben's intro he appeared to imply Sinatra was fine with Brando getting the role and top billing in this musical even with his limited musical talent, but he would explain mo...

Re: I Just Watched...
To discuss something more interesting: Last night I watched the first half of The Iceman Cometh . This is from the American Film Theater project that filmed eight plays with various stars in them. Whatever complaints I could make about the play--such as that the Brit and the Boer are too Boer-ing--...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Maxwell Caufield must have enjoyed removing his clothes. On the DVD set for Dynasty II: The Colbys, he admitted in an interview (filmed in 2016) included as a bonus on the set that the producers of the upcoming show were told to go see him in a play to see if he was right for the show, and it was s...

Re: Noir Alley
Thanks to James for the reference, I was not aware of The Gun Runners either. Has been on TCM a few times before, last in 2015, not on Noir Alley (yet). This week on Noir Alley is the third-time! showing of the Lawrence Tierney - Claire Trevor film Born to Kill (1947). No doubt you've seen it. Yea,...

Re: Noir Alley
Yes, THE BREAKING POINT is well done, but I don't have any need to see it multiple times. Whereas Howard Hawks's earlier, less faithful adaptation of the Hemingway novel --- TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT ---- is a movie that I can watch again and again. Bogie and Bacall were more interesting than Garfield a...

Re: Noir Alley
I thought it was rather funny that Hawks took the "worst" Hemingway novel to make into a film and then made a number of changes and then when it was remade in 1950 they stayed close to the "worst" Hemingway novel. I've seen it a number of times before. It's very well done with a...
