Who's Bob's opposite number on The Essentials these days- still the star of the upcoming Cougar Club, Carrie Fisher?

Yup, Leia's still hangin' in there.

Early monday morning TCM is showing the nineteen thirty one film of "The Maltese Falcon" with Ricardo Cortez as Sam Spade. Should be worth a look just out of curiousity.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 9 December 2007 01:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I've seen that. Alison Skipworth is great in the Greenstreet part!

in high school, i used to smoke weed on george m. cohan blvd, and felt compelled to watch yankee doodle dandy and seven little foys. jon, elmo, and i were all, also, in 'george m.: the musical' ca. 1995.
― remy bean, Sunday, 9 December 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Are they showing One, Two, Three, Morbius?
Sam Spade For a second, I read that as they were showing Queen of Spades and I got real excited.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 9 December 2007 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Someone should've mentioned Ford's The Iron Horse was on last night. Rent it!
I had my early versions of Maltese Falcon mixed up -- the one w/ a female Gutman is Satan Met a Lady.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 10 December 2007 14:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, someone should have mentioned that Ford, otherwise we're going to have to pays hundreds of dollars for that boxed set.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 10 December 2007 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Kim's will have the individual titles as rentable. :)

Tonight: Preminger's sublime Bonjour Tristesse (D Kerr RIP), and the punky Suburbia in the cult spot.

Not TCM but Sundance is doing an Antonioni fest right now. I turned it on and The Passenger was on, to be followed immediately by L'Eclisse, and L'Aventura at 5:45 (following som eother stuff). West coast times.

old travel films
Is that a ref to To Catch a Thief?
The best thing about those locs is Grace speeding along the road where she'd plummet 30 years later...

The elusive Theodora Goes Wild is showing tonight at ten as part of the Irene Dunne festival.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 20 December 2007 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
the whole night was location-oriented, but there actually were some brief old travel clips prior to it
― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 December 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm reading an excellent novel by David Dodge, author of To Catch A Thief, called The Last Match, which also takes place partly in the Riviera, among other exotic locales. I'll bet the book of TCaT is better than the movie.

Why dint you bitches tell me Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was going to be on?

I actually stayed up all last night through rollerball/terminator/THE WARRIORS. it was worth it.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't get how The Warriors is futuristic. It's set in Never Never Land!

I DVRed The Woman In White a while back during their salute to Eleanor Parker and I am finally peeping it out. I didn't know Robert Burks got his start as a special effects photographer.

There's a familiar-looking UK character actor that I couldn't place for a while, but I just figured it out- he played some kind of Alien Alderman on Star Trek TOS.

John Abbott. Not quite as long a resume as Mr. Atoz, Ian Wolfe, but still kept pretty busy.
