    Crawdaddy's "Random Thoughts" about Home Video, Film & TV

    I've always enjoyed this film. Thanks for reminding me of it. I'll make a point of re-watching it in the next few days, possible tonight if I'm in the right mood.

    Thanks for that. I'll search for that today.

    It's a good film and Stephen McNally is a very strong villain. He was a versatile character actor but, like Richard Conte, was always most forceful when playing unpleasant people.

    I've never seen this movie either and I've never noticed a legitimate disc.

    A marvellous film which should be remade in today's less inhibited culture.

    Yes, I agree about Simone Signoret whom I don't normally like.

    I didn't know the film until I bought the Blu-ray disc. I agree it's a good film.

    I don't know but she has the eyes of Mia Farrow.

    Yes, very much so. Eddie Muller must have forgotten that film.

    Ella Raines was always very slim.

    Yes, I think it's a good film too. I particularly like Ella Raines' performance. I'd like to have this film on disc.

    Virginia's a very naughty girl in this movie. The tag line describes her as "a girl with a heart of ice." Well worth watching.

    Yes, I'm always impressed by his work in this film. (I have the DVD) I'm surprised he didn't have a bigger career in movies.

    Maureen is at her most beautiful in this film. It's an unusual role for her too.

    Andrea King and Leon Ames also play against type. Andrea King was often cast as a bitchy character, but she's really good here playing a sheltered virgin who's tempted to shed her inhibitions but is nervous about doing so.

    Off the top of my head and as a major Cyd Charisse fan, I must inform you that the DVD of The Band Wagon contains as an "extra" the outtake of Two Faced Woman which is missing from the Blu-ray disc. In no circumstances will I let go of my DVD!

    One of the very few photos I've seen where Burt Lancaster is wearing glasses. At a young age too. I had no idea.

    She's superb in this. If anyone doubts that Linda Darnell could act, they should watch this movie.

    For some reason I never got around to buying the DVD and I'm more than ready to watch this film again, so I'd snap up a decent Blu-ray disc immediately. Having watched The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers twice in the past three days, I'm also more than ready for some additional Barbara Stanwyck.

    I haven't seen this for decades! It's high time I watched it again.

    I once saw Robert Mitchum on a TV chat show, and he told how he took Elvis home to have dinner with his family. He said he went up in his son's estimation after that! I'm going to watch Elvis tonight in Loving You.

    I have the DVD and I'll probably watch it today. The leading lady is played by Keely Smith, one of my favorite singers. It's notable that Robert Mitchum cast another singer, Julie London, as the female lead in the next movie he produced.

    I read somewhere that Virginia Mayo said that Alan Ladd was one of her two favorite co-stars. I don't know if that's true but I like to believe it it is.

    . . . . which, of course, is one of the reasons Paramount paired her with Alan Ladd.

    In her splendid autobiography Esther Williams tells of her first visit to MGM. Louis B. Mayer, somewhat insensitively, remarked that Esther was tall. She assumed that was game, set and match and she had no chance. She turned to walk out and Louis B. Mayer shouted "Come back. You're not as tall...

    I'm guessing that was taken at the time they were shooting They Were Expendable, an MGM picture.

    For me, Marie Wilson is by far the best thing in the film.

    I mis-spelt her name! Shame on me! I've now corrected my typo. I re-watched the disc and I can understand why I didn't remember much about the film. It's a fairly routine story with a few plot holes. It has Dolores Moran whom I like a lot. The film was produced by Benedict Bogeaus who made...

    I have the Warner Archive DVD-R of Count The Hours. It's high time I re-watched it because I don't remember much about the film. I do recommend all film noir/crime movie enthusiasts to watch this movie because it was directed by Don Siegel and photographed by John Alton. As we have one member...
