The picture quality is very good according to this review.

Anne, The Elvis musical is a genre on it's own. You can call the genre the " Elvis Movie ". Especially his light films of the 1960's. The "travelogues" are one part of Elvis' filmography. His earlier "musical dramas" is another. And then we have the, mostly, straight dr...

The Name Game or Whatever Happened to Jany Babe? Here's a game which sometimes can be fun. Make new titles out of the originals. You can rearrange the letters as much as you like, but don't put new letters into your new title. The ones where you've made new words is not the best... Here's some of mi...

Anne Maybe, I'll like El Dorardo if I re-watch it. Haven't seen it since 1992. I have Broken Lance on DVD. Seen it once. A very good movie, but to me not as good as The Man from Laramie . Maybe it's better on the second viewing. I should've included it in my list of King Lear inspired movies. I agre...

Hi, all! It's been a long while, but this thread made me interested. The Western , to me, was for a long while boring. When I, as a youngster (ca. 1990-1995), watched John Wayne movies like Stagecoach , Red River , The Searchers , Rio Bravo and El Dorado . I found them quite long and boring and this...

Not the best western made (still a good one), but I like the whistling theme of The Proud Ones.

I was an IE user until I found Opera . Was very pleased with Opera until I encountered problems. Tried using IE 7.0 , but it 'crashed' constantly. I'm very pleased with Firefox , except for when I'm on 'Silver Screen Oasis' . When on SSO using Firefox or Opera I must log on twice and then I loose th...

Hollis I've heard of, but never heard, Doc and Merle Watson . Alison Krauss is, in my opinion, one of the greatest singers alive. Haven't got any of her albums though... Have a couple Dixie Chicks albums: "Wide Open Spaces" and "Home" where the former is the best. They try to kee...

Hi all! I'm currently listening to the 7 CD box set " Anita Carter - Appalachian Angel, Her Recordings 1950-1972 & 1996 ", Bear Family Records 2004. I love her voice. She was one of the Carter sisters from the Carter Family. She was the first to make a recording of " Ring of Fire ...

I totally agree with you, Ollie. Marilyn lacks what Lana Turner had in The Postman Always Rings Twice . The film has loads of beautiful cinematography where it lacks in suspense. When Cotten chased Monroe in the bell tower I just sat there thinking "this is not suspenseful, I hope she gets what...

All right, Niagara isn't the most exciting thriller you've seen, but I thought I'd start a thread on it anyway. (I guess I started this one on a bad note :) ) I watched it, last night, on the Fox Cinema Classics DVD edition. There are many cons to this film, but there are also a few pros to it. Firs...

I made an (incomplete) list of albums, so here's another list following the rules more closely: Records (it's an impossible task, but this is what I came up with): -"Guilty" Jim Reeves (a stunning beauty of a song and performance) -"Teardrops On the Rocks" Jim Reeves (melancholy,...

Hi, David! Welcome to our group! I look forward to hearing more from you. This is a great topic! I hope your desert island discs includes albums. Here's eight albums I couldn't do without: The Shadows : " The Great Shadows " (1963?) German Columbia. This album introduced me to the british ...

Synnøve

You mentioned a norwegian story. Would that be "Synnøve Solbakken" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson?
