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.

Re: Noir Alley
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.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
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 did...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I have to confess that I've never truly understood VERTIGO, much less why it's been on Top Ten lists as one of the greatest American movies. I have less of a problem with Scottie than I do with dumb needy masochistic Judy, putty in the hands of controlling men to be sure. Everyone in this story is p...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
On that self-congratulatory 30th TCM anniversary: "We like to get things right" Well of course human beings make mistakes but it seems the channel is churning out more and more of them. Because of some mysterious glitch last night with DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID, we were treated to an extra...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I have a heads-up for today (Friday) on TCM at 6 p.m. EST -- CARNIVAL STORY. Do not miss this delightfully seedy tale, filmed on location in Munich, of three men vying for the love of a sexy drifter played by Anne Baxter with her unique brand of hamminess. She falls hard for Steve Cochran who is his...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Just once I'd love to see THE BIRDS and MARNIE without an intro or outro mentioning Hitchcock's misogynistic treatment of women, Tippi Hedren in particular (and now I've learned he also sexually harrassed Diane Baker). Last night I heard that a major theme in his movies is "the dominant male&qu...

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
Swithin, I used to get confused as well with those hunchback characters. Your "hunch" (sorry) is correct -- Naish is the one in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. He falls in love with a gypsy girl (Elena Verdugo, who has eyes for someone else...) Poor Daniel.

Actually now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been so surprised. They choose Betty Compson as their birthday girl for March 19th.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
lol, I thought it was weird that the actor playing the NYC mayor was an Ed Koch look-a-like. He wouldn't become mayor until 1978. It should have been Abraham Beame in 1974. I realize they couldn't make fun of an actual real-life politician but as a born and bred New Yawker that definitely was Ed! I...
