I'm not a big fan of James Coburn or his movies per se.

But there is a great sort of clock and dagger, whodunit that really is good.
The Last of Sheila plays like a sophistocated Clue game
leaving you at the very last asking, "what really happened to Sheila?"
Most of the movie takes place on a yacht, leaving a cast of star-studded
actors as suspects into the disappearance of Sheila.
I recommend this as a great little psychological whodunit from the 70's.
And well worth the watch and the rent if you can get it.
There aren't any good lifts from YouTube, but at least there's visuals:

There's a thousand comments we could all make about Jack Nicholson as to what makes him a fantastic actor,
a few not even preferring Nicholson.
I won't share my views about Nicholson other than to say the first time I ever saw him was in 5 Easy Pieces in 1970.
He was nominated for Best Actor. All I remember was his profound presence on screen
and the fact that he made everything seem so real. I thought, "I've never seen anybody like that!"
The best scene of all was in the famous diner scene
which typifies Nicholson's edgy, off the cuff presence.
It's awesome and I'd recommend viewing it as well as a great movie which about...

Summary, 5 Easy Pieces

Robert Dupea has given up his promising career as a concert pianist and is now working in oil fields.
He lives together with Rayette, who's a waitress in a diner.
When Robert hears from his sister that his father isn't well, he drives up to Washington to see him,
taking Rayette with him. There he gets confronted with his rich, cultured family that he had left behind.

See ya at the movies....

I like sitting down to a classic just because it is classic even if it's not great.
I like The FBI Story as unreal as it was because I like Jimmy Stewart movies.
J. Edgar Hoover had script approval being the paranoid, schizo control freak that he was...

I like The Glenn Miller Story too. Helen Miller did wear a size
3 and 1/2 shoe. A peer of mine and I wrote a 3 hour docudrama
for radio on the life Glenn miller called "The Major." They did locate
his single-engine monoplane, a Norseman, in the English channel, a few year's back.
I speculate that, if he would have lived, Glenn Miller would have been a great composer
and arranger in films. He had already done two movies before entering the army and forming the AAF band.
Here's the scene when he discovers "the sound...' after Willie Schwartz cuts his lip on a trumpet. The story is legend but it is a nice one...

Here's the movie that John Dillinger walked out of to be shot down in Chicago in 1934. Love the story and the movie, Manhattan Melodrama.

I love this ol' movie too, Ol' Jet. Here's one I think you'll appreciate. It has the sounds you love - 40's music, and a voice you may like - Lynn Bari. Enjoy.

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 09:08 PM

"lay somebody"? Sounds a tad risque, yes?

Oh, and p.s. let me know when 'Brief Encounter' is coming on - that's my favorite all time film!!

yep.....hey, I saw your Joan Fontaine chick flick the other night. And then I put in The Uninvited with Ray Milland. Speaking of Jourdan I watch Julie with him and Doris Day the other night where he's trying to kill her.

Reminds me....
I wrote a documentary for radio all in rhyme if you can imagine. Titled "The Cardigan Years" and written in segments; I wanted Charles Kuralt ay CBS to narrate it as an enterprise piece. I never finished it...but I remember devoting a segment to the time when radio was being replaced by TV....

"I Love Mystery....and I miss Major Bows."

And I do love mysteries.....

see ya at the movies my learned comrades.

I never appreciated John Wayne until much later as I got older.
Now, I enjoy him as an icon and for the style of actor he was.
I never really thought he was a good actor, he just wore on us
with good westerns, as they were in that genre.
My two favorite movies are The Cowboys and The Shootist.

Here's a video tribute to John Wayne.
See ya at the movies.

Add The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence and Three Godfathers to my John Wayne favorites.

QueSeraSera · 03-24-2010, 09:49 AM

To add my 2 cents on the subject.... I ofcourse I loved the Movie The Man Who Knew To Much.... And Whatever Happen To Baby Jane....And I am a big fan of most any Marilyn Monroe Movies as well...... I see that most of these have been talked about. I just wanted to put my lil $.02...

Til another time

Is anyone planning on seeing the movie "The Rite"? It is about a Roman Catholic Priest from America who travels to Rome to learn how to perform exorcisms. It is going to star Sir Anthony Hopkins and is going to be directed by Mikael Hafstrom. The movie is based on the book "The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist" by Matt Baglio.
