I wonder how Bacall came up with that one? And what a coinky dink that she happens to be friends with Agnes who figures in Bogie's murder case.

Or --- TRILOGY OF TERROR! Actually it was Lee Grant as Alex's mother who was the real scary one. I barely recognized Jill Clayburgh as the Israeli girl. A lot of her scenes were cut. (the growing up part). Lee's? If the ones they left in were any indication I frankly can't even imagine those they c...

Mandy Patinkin is hot as Avigdor in YENTL. But he looks so much like one of my uncles that there's no fun in that for me! https://i.imgur.com/0WNDONhl.png https://i.imgur.com/O6F3XIel.png https://i.imgur.com/i64x0nPl.png He sure doesn't look like any of my uncles, so I guess we can make a date and ...

Whoops. My mistake. The film was called "My Past" not my sin, and it was with Bebe Daniels. I was pretty stunned by the distorted picture. LOL. Sounds like a similar type film. I have to confess that many of the pre-codes even though they were so enjoyable to watch had such similarly flor...

TCM slipped up again this morning. My Sin was broadcast with the frame out of whack, so that the top of the image was at the bottom below the rest of the image. Nice! Was that the old Tallulah Bankhead film? Whoops. My mistake. The film was called "My Past" not my sin, and it was with Beb...

It's like that old Tootsie Pop commercial: "The world may never know." Burr, who famously fudged his personal life details for decades, never really explained it. Burr supposedly said afterwards in a talk show that he had a non-serious physical condition that prohibited him from being abl...

Yes, I've never understood that Ellen Corby sequence and it's never explained. Apparently she was paid off to say that, I assume. In the Donald Spoto book The Art Of Hitchcock Hitchcock called scenes like this "ice box talk", a knot in the narrative which people may ponder at home after t...

Wow, I never knew about that coda, txfilmfan! What a great post, thank you. Raises more (important) questions! Not only the ones you mentioned, but Madeline's car supposedly parked at the hotel but which desk clerk Ellen Corby refutes. Was she paid to say that? For some reason I always enjoy the se...

It was very hard believing someone like Judy could pull off being Madeline, no matter how much "coaching" she had. That jumping into the ocean bit fascinates me because when Scottie phones Elster to tell him about it, there is a pregnant pause from Elster's end, which I took to mean he di...

Oy vey.

Not the best choice.....

LOL. I warned you!

The plastic surgery segment in DARK PASSAGE always creeps me out, including a scary looking Bogie with those bandages. It almost seems like a nod back from Warner's to their 1930's urban horror thrillers, DR. X, MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM and THE RETURN OF DR. X. Yes! And what doctor is available fo...

I only pay for cable TV as well. The above channels are free. You would need a streaming device and you have Internet. My Xfinity/Comcast TV box has a select amount of Internet services. Nothing to directly compete with them. I am experimenting with streaming to learn and hopeful dump cable televis...
