RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about The Three Stooges.
April 16, 2012
posted in Pass The Remote!
The Three Stooges is one of those shows that'll never get old for me. While slapstick comedy largely stinks, Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine had this type of humor down to a science (the same can be said for the classic Looney Tunes shorts). Those over-the-top physical jokes with the excessive sound effects will always give me a good laugh.

"Fail Safe" is my favorite as it demonstrates the absurdity of the MAD doctrine and what may have to be done to maintain the "tit-for-tat" balance.

I thought I'd answered this one also but I'm relieved my response was lost because my answer ("One of Our Aircraft is Missing") is British. So for a Hollywood film I'd pick "Twelve O'Clock High" starring … more

I answered this question yesterday but it seems my answer got lost in the limbo of cyber space. Anyway, Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglas was my favorite. We watched this film in film English and critiqued … more

tomtom13 reviewed Wizard of Oz: The Lost Original L. Fr....
January 10, 2012
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
After the success of the Oz books, L. Frank Baum moved to California. He became part owner of a film company, the Oz Film Manufacturing Company, that was interested in making movies directed at children (they were ahead of their time). The studio didn't do very well and after a couple years folded. The studio only made four feature films and a handful of shorts. For almost half a century, all … more

littlesam1 reviewed Mr. Skeffington.
December 03, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
My favorite Bette Davis movie. Bette and Claude Rains star in this 1944 masterpiece. Bette plays the beautiful turn of the century New York socialite Fanny Trellis. She has many suitors but is forced into a loveless marriage with Mr. Skeffington, to save her brother Trippy from embezzlement charges. Bette plays the role of the bitch to full tilt in this film. I don't know when she was more beautiful … more

Spenser Tracy and Katheryne Hepburn had amazing chemistry. Just check out Woman of the Year and some of the others they made. Honorable mention to Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney and Bogart /Bacall.

littlesam1 reviewed Lulu Belle (1948).
December 02, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
Lulu Belle is a 1948 film that I had never heard of until it showed up on my Netflix suggestions. It stars Dorothy Lamour and George Montgomery. It has little or no notice on either of their biographies on the internet and I found very little written about it. I am not sure why though. I found it to be very entertaining and much better than I expected. Dorothy … more

Clark Gable and Joan Crawford Bogart and Bergman Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers of course and into the 60's I would add Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton.

littlesam1 reviewed Bird of Paradise 1932 film.
December 02, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
I have spent some time this week watching old films from the 1930’s and 1940’s. I have been semi housebound with a very nasty cold or flu, so it was a great time to go to Netfilx and stream some old films. I watched the original Bird of Paradise today. The movie stars Delores Del Rio and Joel McCrae as the star crossed lovers. Delores is the daughter … more

I have been under the weather the past week nursing a really bad cold. I have spent a lot of time under the comforter watching old movies on Netflix. I have been watching some really old films from the 1930’s and 1940’s. I really enjoy watching the early talkies from the 1930’s. There is still that silent film feeling to the movie without the … more

littlesam1 reviewed Don't Bother To Knock.
November 15, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
I first saw Don't Bother To Knock about twenty years ago. I have always been a Marilyn Monroe fan and was not expecting such a dark disturbing film. I just recently watched this film again and still find if fascinating. In many ways the disturbed character Marilyn plays must have come from deep inside Marilyn herself, causing her to revisit some of the darker days of her life. … more

littlesam1 reviewed Whatever happened to Baby Jane.
November 09, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
This is grand daddy of all aging actress turned ax murderer movies. Whatever Happened To Baby Jane sets the standard of the genre. With Bette Davis chewing every piece of scenery on the set and Joan Crawford left in a wheel chair to watch her steal the movie, its all you can ask for in a grand guiginol classic. Bette screams classic lines that have become familiar to all movie … more

littlesam1 reviewed Boy's Night Out.
November 08, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
Boys Night Out is one of my favorite 1960's battle of sexes comedies . Its a Doris Day Rock Hudson film without Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Kim Novak plays the beautiful blonde bombshell who takes up residence in an apartment to be the companion to the four men who share this New York apartment. The men are James Garner,( who also made several battle of sexes films with Doris Day), Tony Randall … more

This 1967 Tarzan 88 minute film stars Mike Henry as Tarzan for the second of three times that he will have the role. A vicious tribal leader called Baracuna frightens people who are convinced that he can make them sick and kill them with magic. His people attack peaceful native villages, in modern day South America, along the Amazon River, kill some inhabitants and take others as slaves to work Baracuna's … more

littlesam1 reviewed A Shot in the Dark (1964).
November 07, 2011
posted in Classic Silver Screen Film Reviews!
Blake Edwards film A Shot In The Dark was made before The Pink Panther became a true franchise. There is no mention of The Pink Panther or of Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the title. Yet this is the best of the Pink Panther series. Clouseau is almost a supporting character in the original Pink Panther movie. David Niven is closer to being the star than Peter Sellers. But in A Shot In The Dark Clouseau … more
