The male lead John Lund is a lightweight, but it hardly matters.
Not according to Cameron Crowe.

Anyway, Marlene is great, Millard Mitchell is great and keep your eye out for Frederick Hollander.

the tcm app for the iphone is pretty great

The very first thing I've heard about that might make the iphone appealing to me.

Amazed this is the first time I've seen 2010 on TV this year. What programmer could resist the temptation?

Nhex, Saturday, 20 February 2010 23:39 (sixteen years ago)

This is the SECOND time TCM has had it on since Christmas! They're repeating way too much lately.

Fusty Moralizer (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 21 February 2010 01:58 (sixteen years ago)

by another name (amateurist), Saturday, 27 February 2010 05:00 (sixteen years ago)

I LOVE Seconds.

dan selzer, Saturday, 27 February 2010 06:15 (sixteen years ago)

Great movie! Big influence on Larry Cohen's equally corrosive Bone (1972).

If you miss it or don't have cable, you can watch it here:

Warren Beatty night is ongoing... coming up: The Parallax View & Ishtar

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 03:48 (fifteen years ago)

After A.O. Scott praised Ishtar as undervalued, I got curious again. Should I?

Gucci Mane hermeneuticist (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 12:30 (fifteen years ago)

Robert Osborne is such a cool guy. I think he and Brian Lamb from CSpan are two of my favorite television personalities.

TTA has the most embarrassing drunk routine I've seen in a movie -- worse than Tom Cruise's in A Few Good Men.

The March of Time shorts last night were spectacular; worth TIVOing if they repeat.

Gulab jamun (Gulab Jamun) into the syrup please. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 6 September 2010 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

haven't had a chance to prop read this thread, so it may have already been mentioned (even by me!), but the TCM 'Movie Morlocks' blog is consistently entertaining reading

Ward Fowler, Monday, 6 September 2010 15:49 (fifteen years ago)

I think I mentioned it in passing a while back.
