What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Arabesque from 1966 with Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck Director Stanley Donen made two Hitchcockian-like movies in the 1960s, Charade and Arabesque. Charade, with a better story and Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in the leads, gets the nod over Arabesque, but the latter is still a fun picture...- Fading Fast

I promise not to post this grumble again this season, but the World Series starts tomorrow night and on ESPN's homepage, you have to scroll down to the sixth story - after an NFL story, two college football story, a pro basketball story and a story about gender bias at schools - to get to a...- Fading Fast

You might recognize the name Robert Standish because he wrote the book "Elephant Walk" that was turned into a very good movie by the same name in 1954. And, yes, after eighty years, most of them under communist rule, the Chinese culture is much changed from Standish's time. Still, even today...- Fading Fast

She Couldn't Say No from 1953 with Robert Mitchum, Jean Simmons, Arthur Hunnicutt and Edgar Buchanan Before Hallmark, Hollywood realized there was money in simple romantic comedies with obvious scripts and easy-to-overcome problems. But Hollywood, back in the 1950s and still in the studio...- Fading Fast

He hasn't posted in a long time. My concern, as he noted he had health issues, is that he has either gotten sicker or worse. It would be great to see him return, greater still just to know he's okay, but from the incomplete picture we have - as he was an avid poster - the signs are not encouraging.- Fading Fast

No Greater Glory from 1934 No Greater Glory's story of two rival gangs of kids fighting to defend their playground works as a straight-forward Hungarian Our Gang-/East Side Kids-movie mashup, but it also works as an allegorical anti-war movie. The picture opens with an All Quiet on the...- Fading Fast

What continues to amaze me is that ESPN, on its homepage, places a regular season NFL game's progress above a MLB playoff game's progress. It's been this way all through MLB's playoffs. Maybe it just reflects fan interest. If so, it is what it is, but what a fall for what had once been America's...- Fading Fast

Ivy from 1947 with Joan Fontaine, Richard Ney, Cedric Hardwicke, Patric Knowles, Lucille Watson, Herbert Marshall and Sara Allgood In Ivy, Joan Fontane is outstanding playing against type as a Victorian-era femme fatale with too many men and not enough money. Her character's passive aggressive...- Fading Fast

I would think so, but she was also better equipped for it. I don't expect it to be her, but it would be nice to see her return at some point.- Fading Fast

I'm guessing it's Grett Murmer sliding into the trench (wonderful illustration), but how great would it be if it was Hu Shee? I'm more forgiving of Caniff than you are, but if it is one of the lasses we think it is and Terry doesn't, umm, become familiar with her, I'm going to be a bit miffed at...- Fading Fast

Look Back in Anger from 1959 with Richard Burton, Mary Ure, Claire Bloom and Gary Raymond Look Back in Anger is another entry in the British post-war angry-young-man kitchen-sink genre with perhaps Richard Burton claiming the championship title as angriest of all the angry young men.
