What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The James Stewart oater Winchester '73, one of several films he made with director Anthony Mann in the 1950s. It's a busy, active movie, with the title rifle passing from Stewart to villain Stephen McNally, then to Indian trader John McIntire, then to a young Rock Hudson as Young Bull the...- Benzadmiral

What was the last TV show you watched?
I'd forgotten to tape last Sunday's episode on MeTV of The Fugitive, so I dipped into my Ellery Queen (1975) DVD set. "The Adventure of the 12th Floor Express" sets up a seemingly impossible murder; "The Adventure of Miss Aggie's Farewell Performance" (co-written by series developers Levinson &...- Benzadmiral

Name the Actor...
Then I'm not alone! (At last.) Marlowe played Ellery Queen on TV; I've always thought that Carlson would have been good casting as well.- Benzadmiral

Anotehr Season Two episode of the Fugitive. "Nicest Fella You'd Ever Want to Meet" features veteran character actor Pat Hingle in the title role, a glad-handing (and covertly sadistic) Arizona U.S. marshal who claims to be descended from Apaches, aspires to be governor one day, and is using...- Benzadmiral

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I don't know if anyone has commented on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the latest in the Michael Crichton-inspired dinosaurs-brought-to-life saga. I saw it this weekend, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's not the strong entry that the previous JW film with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard...- Benzadmiral

Corner Gas sort of reminded me of Cheers meets The Andy Griffith Show with a dose of Seinfeld. I didn't get any of the Canadian jokes, but that was okay, it was loony enough without that.- Benzadmiral

"Ballad for a Ghost," another Season Two entry for The Fugitive. Kimble is working as an odd-job man at a roadhouse. A big singing star, Hallie Martin (Janis Paige), is coming to perform and record an album. Small problem: She's the ex-wife of the owner (Mark Richman), who is still not over...- Benzadmiral

What role did Patricia Neal play in Tiffany's?? It's been a while since I've seen the movie. Was she the heiress (or something like that) who wanted to, ah, "subsidize" George Peppard?- Benzadmiral

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2?
Apparently so. But stranger things have happened in Hollywood. Recall the movie of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which (I think) did not do well . . . and yet its writer, Joss Whedon, parlayed it into a high-quality TV series only a few years later, when everybody thought the concept was dead. A...- Benzadmiral

Re: Anatomy of a Murder, it is the cast, yes, but there are flashes of humor in it that lighten the tone just at the right moment they're needed. A good adaptation of the novel (which also had the humor -- it's narrated by the character Stewart plays). And it was pretty shocking to hear...- Benzadmiral

I don't think you have to be in your 40s to appreciate the movie, or the novelette by Stephen King. I read the story when I was about 29 and saw the film when I was 32. Both, I thought, were fantastic. (Probably one of King's greatest works, along with "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.")- Benzadmiral

It is sad . . . but it features probably the most moving performance Cary Grant ever gave. The scene with the judge -- After watching that, anybody who could dismiss Grant as "merely" a light comedy actor does not know what he is talking about.- Benzadmiral

Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?
I use Barbasol shaving cream and Clubman aftershave and cologne. All of my double-edge safety razors are vintage Gillettes from 1947-1962.- Benzadmiral

"Devil's Carnival," a late 1964 episode of The Fugitive. Kimble hitches a ride with one Hanes McClure, career outlaw, heading back home to Corona (South Carolina? Somewhere in the south, anyway). Everybody in this stereotypical Southern small town is terrified of him. He and Kimble are both...- Benzadmiral

Name the Actor...
My first thought is Virna Lisi, though I've seen her only as a blonde. Same for Anita Ekberg. And I'm pretty sure it isn't Luciana Paluzzi of Thunderball and To Trap a Spy fame. So -- no idea, though she does look *faintly* familiar.- Benzadmiral
