It was filmed in and around my native Montreal (primarily on Nun's Island). When the film was originally released in English in Montreal (and probably other cities) it was called "the Parasite Murders". I was also friends with the late Kirsten Bishop(ric). She told me once that the scene where...
I think the first 4 seasons were the best and seasons 5-7 basically fought crime in the US. The stories became less interesting and less believable were also shot mostly in and around Paramount studies. The infamous episode with William Shatner where they built a city and populated with extras...
I believe so and there part episode called The Falcon with an abundance of guest stars, Noel Harrison, Lee Merriweather, Diane Baker, John Vernon, and Logan Ramsey. The story collectively runs 2hrs and 15 minutes.
I don't think Albert Dekker's death could be considered mysterious. Unusual, weird, strange might be better words. This is from Wikipedia. I first read about in Hollywood Babylon.
He was naked, kneeling in the bathtub, with a noose tightly wrapped around his neck and looped around the shower...
I have a collection of the original printings mainly for the artwork. The later releases had photos of women that obviously were trying to capture the James Bond audience. The editions with the artwork are more to my liking
Rick Polito of the Marin Independent Journal:
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.
Adding to MatthewA's comment
And Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, Ben Vereen, Le Roy Reams, Suzanne Charney, Barbara Bouchet and many of the other Fosse dancers. A missed opportunity.
It's too bad that they couldn't branch the happy ending onto disc one, so you can choose which version you'd like to see. And have disc 2 have the shorter, neighborhood theatres, version for comparison. But I will get it anyway.
Fun fact #1
The only PG-rated film that shows full frontal male nudity.
Fun fact #2
The movie Cruising was filming in the Village at the same time and protesters confused them because they both had leatherman. Allan Carr finally had to tell the protesters: We’re the good guys making a good gay...
There is another scene of the roof of Esther's apartment that Nancy Kulp was in. Ronald Have wrote a book about the making of the film and the restoration of the film.
It would be very rare if the shows you mentioned would be in the public domain. The only way it could happen if the copyright date was omitted. Many of the shows were produced by the same producers/studios so I doubt they have let it slip into PD. The last TV shows I know that are in public...
I would love to see Duck You Sucker on Blu. It played uncut for over two years at a small cinema (Alexis Nihon 2) near my home in Montreal. I must have seen it five times during the run. Usually on a Sunday afternoon. I hated the FIstful of Dynamite cut.
It's too bad that the special features don't have the alternate songs, other material and end titles for Rudolph. Most interesting was that the first broadcast on NBC did not have Santa going back to the Island of Misfit Toys to get the toys. Audiences complained and the producers filmed a new...
Re: Glynnis Johns in A Little Night Music. It was a money issue. The German money men wanted a star of international stature to play the lead and Liz Taylor was that person at the time. Johns was a name, but far from being a "star". This was also the reason why the story location and the...
I saw the re-release of 2001 on an IMAX screen last month. It was presented as the original roadshow version. Overture (in the dark. No title card saying Overture), a 15-minute intermission, entr'acte music, and exit music. After seeing it on a huge screen like this I thought to myself how could...
I remember seeing a French dubbed version whose title translates to The Four Thugs. I also owned years ago LP of the soundtrack whose title was How To Steal A Diamond which I was used in the UK.

But Widmark's part as Major Baker was the most difficult to cut down. I wanted to take out the entire military focus of the movie and try to re-establish the more scientific bent of the Arthur Herzog novel (which is excellent, by the way, and still in print). But when the main...
Merrily We Live's Oscar Nomination for Best Song was the first time that a title song, sung over the main credits, received a nomination. (Pennies From Heaven was the first film whose title song, sung during a film, was nominated in 1936.)
It should be noted that the film received three Academy Awards for Best Actress (Hepburn), Best Adapted Screenplay (Goldman) and Best Music Score John Barry. Surprised no mention of him in your review.
It was also nominated for Best Actor (O'Toole) , Best Director (Harvey), Best Costumes...
