Love old films and music. Classic (and not so classic).
Pinned
Given the state of things, I have to take joy from the little things. Therefore, I'm happy to see that my favorite 007 score (and my favorite Bond film) is being released in an expanded form.
.. it goes without saying that composer John Barry is a legend.

Tony (Nick Adams) was better behaved with "Miss Namikawa" (Kumi Mizuno) several years later! 😜
BTW: Adams co-starred in 3 Toho sci-fi films in the mid-1960s and (from everything that I've read) was very popular with his co-stars and crews.

Some people look at me kind of strange when I state that I enjoy #PillowTalk. Don't care. The farce of a plot just makes me smile. 😀
Plus .... Tony Randall and Thelma Ritter make EVERYTHING greater. (Doris and Rock are fine too ICYMA).

Choices! but .. LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN. The scene where Tierney’s Ellen Berent leads Danny (Darryl Hickman) to his doom. The red lipstick, the heart shaped glasses and that stare 😱; few images in classic noir are as iconic.

Comparing classic and contemporary movie posters is an impossible task.
Old School: A tie – GUN CRAZY and GILDA (no lies detected on those BTW 😍😂)
Neo Noir: Again, a tie - CHINATOWN and THE LAST SEDUCTION (elegant & clean)

The one and only ... Gloria Grahame. 😍
Even in this scene from the BIG HEAT that features Glenn Ford and Lee Marvin going mano a mano, her presence totally draws your attention. Framing? Yes .. but also star power.

Same.
Still, the music was fine, and I enjoy all of the #TCMParty comments. Thanks everyone.

No judgement! He's not really my cup of tea either Most #TCMParty people understand that we all have our own likes and dislikes ^PG

That was a very long flash back (it needed more voice over to be effective IMO).
.. and we have Tom Powers. Powers apparently survived Walter's attack, made it back from the Moon and is now a police LT. 😜

Stanley clearly saw the movie "Laura" and Waldo Lydecker became his hero.

Other than the swinging band sounds, Sally Forrest is the best thing about #TheStrip thus far. According to wiki, Ms. Forrest's mother was a ballroom dancer and she followed suit.
*Gee I hope nothing bad happens to her character in this film.

A quick Sally Forrest (1928-2015) appreciation post. The face and the name seem very familiar, and now I know why. Ms. Forrest starred in several of Ida Lupino directed films: Hard, Fast and Beautiful, Never Fear and Not Wanted.

Since we saw Fred MacMurray last night, it seems strangely appropriate that we see William Demarest this morning.

The costume design for #Chinatown (by Anthea Sylbert 1939-2024) is excellent. I totally buy into the 1930's period design.
