What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A little slow in my film watching lately. I did continue my exploration of the British New Wave with Billy Liar, and of film noir with Dark Passage. Billy Liar is based on the novel by Keith Waterhouse (first turned into a play, then this film), and was directed by John Schlesinger; it stars...- Patrick Murtha

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Here's another interesting connection: the actual house and grounds used for the filming of Sunset Boulevard show up again in Rebel Without a Cause as the location where James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo hide out. The empty swimming pool where the three youths sit and talk is the same pool...- Patrick Murtha

Oscar Levant-Any Fans?
I'm a Levant fan, on many grounds. He was an inspired interpreter of Gershwin at the piano; his performance of Gershwin's Piano Concerto is so gorgeously atmospheric it gives me the shivers. And he is frequently hilarious as a supporting performer in movies; take the marvelous Humoresque, for...- Patrick Murtha

The Northeast Wisconsin weather reverted to semi-wintry in the past 24 hours, with temperatures in the 30s and high winds up to 60 mph -- there was even a tornado warning last night. Out comes the overcoat... Claire my Birman cat is exceptionally cuddlesome today. She loves the extra time...- Patrick Murtha

What was the last TV show you watched?
Don't even bother with watching shows in first run, I say; just wait for the DVD box sets and watch the episodes in the correct order, at your own pace. I don't own a TV anymore, and if I get another, it will be for Turner Classic Movies and no other reason.- Patrick Murtha

What are you wearing today??
I went to the Michael Buble concert last night at the Resch Center in Green Bay. After seeing Buble live, there is certainly no doubting his star quality! He and his impressive 13-member big band put on a terrific show given the limitations of the arena format. But those limitations are...- Patrick Murtha

This is easy. Move to Seaside, Florida, the New Urbanist community where much of the film was shot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaside,_Florida- Patrick Murtha

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Incredible movie, isn't it? And it holds up beautifully no matter how many times you watch it. It is easy to forget, but in 1950 (the year of Sunset Boulevard's release), the silent era was the very recent past, only 25 years before -- far closer than we are to the Sixties, say. It all passed...- Patrick Murtha

Why Do You "Dress Up"?
Hmm, maybe this is an age thing. Because I get compliments from women (and men, too) all the time. I walked into a supermarket one day in suit, tie, and fedora, and a nice woman stopped in her tracks and said, "Now, that's how a man should look." Seersucker suits, spectator shoes, bow ties...- Patrick Murtha

Lovely day here in Wisconsin, although for some reason the Middle American-ness of Middle America has got me down today. Of course that could partly be because I live in Appleton, Wisconsin, which is practically an epicenter of that Middle American quality. It's a nice, affordable city in the...- Patrick Murtha

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I didn't care for Kill Bill Volume One at all. That's my review.

Today is my tribute to the businessmen of Dallas -- or at least the ones of the 1980s, when I often saw outfits of this kind. Probably Mark from Plano can tell me I'm living in the past, but I kind of know that. :) Navy pinstripe SB 2B single-vent suit (two shades of stripe) White-on-white...- Patrick Murtha
