That is widely regarded as one of Lewis's "straightest" roles.

I want to get a DVR for birthday/xmas, just for time-shifting TCM content. I want to watch The Spiral Staircase, but I ain't getting up at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Rock Hardy, Monday, 27 October 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link

you know you could probably get a vcr for $3 nowadays

Edward III, Monday, 27 October 2008 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link

hahaha, I have a cheap VCR, but taped stuff looks so bad.

Rock Hardy, Monday, 27 October 2008 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, get TiVo, definitely.

So what do people think of the ending of The World's Greatest Sinner? On its IMDb page, "God strikes him dead."

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 08:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Or "down." Something like that.

the film sucks

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:31 (sixteen years ago) link

and then god struck him dead

Edward III, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link

I should have recorded it off of TCM since I saw that their print was gorgeous (how???). My version ends with Carey writing in a bedroom lit by a Kiss Me Deadly-style Great Whasit. So yeah, God or some similar sort of ineffable phenomenon gets him in the end.

Oooh boy is this a kooky one!

Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I've never even heard of this one but it sounds like a great victory movie:

6 Thursday

3:30 PM First a Girl (1935)
An out-of-work actress passes herself off as a female impersonator and becomes a star. Cast: Jessie Matthews, Sonnie Hale, Anna Lee. Dir: Victor Saville. BW-92 mins

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 6 November 2008 02:14 (fifteen years ago) link

My version ends with Carey writing in a bedroom

That should be "writhing." I'm only correcting it because I don't want some poor soul to search for a version with Carey writing.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 21:48 (fifteen years ago) link

It still annoys me that they don't move to NY.

robert osborne is looking tired lately. slurring his words, big bags around his eyes. i think they're working him too hard.

amateurist, Thursday, 25 December 2008 04:13 (fifteen years ago) link

cluny brown rules btw.

amateurist, Thursday, 25 December 2008 04:13 (fifteen years ago) link

i'd never known about 'in the good old summertime' until this afternoon, what an abomination, and here i thought tom hanks was the first dope to think of remaking 'shop around the corner'. it may be worse than grace kelly, bing crosby and frank sinatra in 'high society'. margaret sullavan, sigh. one day they will show 'the good fairy'.

keythkeyth, Thursday, 25 December 2008 05:02 (fifteen years ago) link

oh, it wasn't that bad. van johnson's pretty obviously doing a jimmy stewart impression though.

meet me in st. louis on next! sweet.

amateurist, Thursday, 25 December 2008 05:52 (fifteen years ago) link

DVR-ing meet me in st. louis because i have to get up at 8 tomorrow, def. watching it before dinner

Wiggy Woo, Thursday, 25 December 2008 07:04 (fifteen years ago) link

It still annoys me that they don't move to NY.

I'm confused. What exactly would this achieve?

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 25 December 2008 07:40 (fifteen years ago) link

I conked out at the start of cluny brown; thank god for Tivo.
Rewatching The Shop on the Corner for the zillionth time reminded me how much I adore lubitsch.

what's that Jennifer Jones entrance line in Cluny Brown? something like "Where's the action"

Dr Morbius, Friday, 26 December 2008 00:15 (fifteen years ago) link

all-SCREWBALL New Years Day!

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 28 December 2008 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link

Excited for both equally, obv.

Eric H., Tuesday, 30 December 2008 04:55 (fifteen years ago) link

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 06:38 (fifteen years ago) link

i'd never seen grand theft auto, it was sort of adorable.

tipsy mothra, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 06:59 (fifteen years ago) link

(and eat my dust also belongs on the road movie thread...)

tipsy mothra, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 07:00 (fifteen years ago) link

maybe I'll finally see Theodora Goes Wild!

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link

A John Waters fave on Sunday:

4 Sunday
1:00 PM CST Susan Slade (1961)
A pregnant teen allows her mother to pass the baby off as her own. Cast: Troy Donahue, Connie Stevens, Dorothy McGuire. Dir: Delmer Daves.

Has anyone seen this?

Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 2 January 2009 19:07 (fifteen years ago) link

Is this the Sarah Palin story?

EZ Snappin, Friday, 2 January 2009 19:13 (fifteen years ago) link

6 Graham Greene adaps all night! Brighton Rock almost excuses Richard Attenborough's directorial career.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 6 January 2009 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Susan Slade wasn't so hot. But I'm such a genre freak that I enjoyed its particular variation on (instantiation of?) an ancient story. And there was a downright shocking shot towards the end that I waaaay did not anticipate in its graphicness. Did anyone catch it?

Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 7 January 2009 07:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Two rare (are there any other kind?) Borzage films tomorrow: Big City (1937) and No Greater Glory (1934). But I'm too busy with my BRAND NEW MURNAU, BORZAGE, AND FOX BOX SET!!! so someone else please take these in and report. Thanx!

Kevin John Bozelka, Sunday, 11 January 2009 19:39 (fifteen years ago) link

KJB I may fly into Austin in March to steal yr set.

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 11 January 2009 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link

You can fly in (and if you do, lemme know!) but ain't comin' near my set! :)

Kevin John Bozelka, Sunday, 11 January 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Vichitravirya_XI, Sunday, 11 January 2009 23:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 January 2009 14:28 (fifteen years ago) link

The number one movie on my must-see list is on tomorrow morning (Thursday the 15th) @ 6:15am CST:

Downstairs (1932)
An evil chauffeur seduces and blackmails his way through high society. Cast: John Gilbert, Virginia Bruce, Paul Lukas. Dir: Monta Bell. BW-78 mins, TV-G

I've been dying to see it for quite some time. Someone pretty please record it in case one of my helper bees misses it. Thanx!!!!
