PEYTON PLACE was and still is, a great movie. I saw it many times when it was first released, where I worked. The sequel RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE was less successful. .I only ever watched a few episodes of the tv series as it didn't interest me. KING'S ROW is a masterpiece-you won't...
The oscars have never meant anything to me.They are purely a marketing thing.Best films rarely mean that they are the best of the year. How many voters actually see the films that they nominate?
It was common in those days to use the same scenes in different films. One indoor scene in THE ROBE was also used in HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE- just the décor was changed.
It is time that THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT was released on bluray. A brilliant film. Luckily it was screening where I was working. The title song is unforgettable.
I was bored with GWCTD when I saw it on it's original release. ONE POTATO TWO POTATO was screening where I was working. It was very successful at the box office. I watched it on dvd a couple of years ago and it is still a brilliant film. It is available in the UK.
