Wow. I hadn't heard of Corman's death (or Damon's either) What a long life! I didn't realize he was that old.

So sorry I missed this. I love Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. I must not have checked the tv schedule that night. :( Even if you had remembered you would not have been able to see it. There was a glitch in the video on TCM that evening so it was replaced with another showing of Carnival Story . TCM has...

Found this about Karl Held on Perry Mason!

Perry Mason again! Perry Jr. was on again over the wknd. How many episodes was he in? According to imdb, the actor (Karl Held) is still with us at 92! He was a cutie (if a little bland in the show). I watched one episode he was in recently where he Indian wrestled some wharf rat type in a saloon and...

Hundreds of Beavers (2022) Get your mind out of the gutter--it's about a mild-mannered applejack distiller who is ruined by marauding beavers. He responds by reinventing himself as a backwoods fur trapper. LOL!!!!! It's a live-action film (the beavers and other animals are played by adult-sized hum...

And what would Mother's Day be without a showing of I Remember Mama?? (I've heard the rare times they don't show it they get a lot of complaints!) I rarely miss it. Love this film and Irene Dunne is so great in it. Great direction by George Stevens too.

After doing some checking, the final chase scene of Follow Me Quietly was done at the Los Angeles Gas Works near Union Station. (now demolished).

Odd, because the Hollywood Walk of Fame didn't even start until 1960, as an attempt to revive what was fast becoming a derelict neighborhood. Manners had been out of the Hollywood spotlight for a quarter century by then. According to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which manages the scheme, star...

State Fair (1933) is down for Janet Gaynor but, as in the case of Thelma Ritter / Jeanne Crain, the real star attraction is Will Rogers as the head of the farm family. A young Lew Ayers is in it too. I think TCM showed it way back but I still have my copy from AMC days and that was a terrible print...

HAHA Don't count on it!!1!

LONG, LONG running.......

Had Follow Me Quietly been shown before? Some of it seemed awfully familiar. Nicely directed. Dorothy Patrick is like a cross between Dorothy Malone and Rosemary Clooney. Jeff Corey did some scene stealing. Interesting intro by Eddie about the condition of RKO just before this picture was made. Yes...

In times though of actually hating a film at the very moment it was the "it" film, there were the following: Don't Look Up/2021 (I actually used these GIFs of Elaine to voice how I felt about the film) Spenser/2021 to be fair, I don't think you were in the minority by not liking those two...

I came across this article about David Manners. Very strange his star was removed. Has that ever happened before? I know some have been removed over the years at the Chinese, but they have limited space, while the Walk of Fame does not. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hollywood-star-removed-when-gay...
