I screened Niel Simon's Sweet Charity (1969) the other night and I was pleasantly surprised.  Shirley McClain and John McMartin and the elevator scene was a classic!

Also, I noticed several shots in that film that happen to contain several other film posters from the 60's, in fact, I've noticed quite a few films that do that so I've started taking screen shots of them with my cell phone.  Maybe one of these days I'll post a few and see if you all can figure out what they are from...

Face of Fire (1959), a smaller, indie film, directed by Albert Band, starring Cameron Mitchell, James Whitmore, Bettye Ackerman. Shot in B/W and what caught my eye was the director, Albert Band, long before his later horror films made via his production company, Blue Moon Entertainment.

A story about a well liked man in a town, who upon getting severely burned after saving a child from a burning house, is avoided and shunned.

Bringing Up Baby (1938), with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.

Fast paced and witty, the humor driven action is non stop and almost doesnt allow you to catch your breath. But Grant and Hepburn are great together, as was shown in previous teamings.... Holiday, also from 1938 and Sylvia Scarlett from 1935.

This flicker is a fun watch all the way around.

The Black Cat (1934), with Lugosi, Karloff and David Manners. Had been a while since I watched this. What great sets, as well as the overall look of the flick. According to the intro on TCM, the movie was shot in all of 19 days.

Well worth a watch. And Karloff's look... superb. I remember seeing this as a kid, and the scene near the end in which Lugosi tells (a bound) Karloff that he is going to flay him alive always creeped me out and stuck with me.

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Happened to catch this on TCM last night.

It's always entertaining and the casting is brilliant, all the way around. Joe E Brown is hysterical as Osgood, too.

John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl (with guest Kobe Bryant!!!)  A close friend of ours owns a radio station here in LA, so we had box seats.  Williams is 85, so it could be his very last public concert.  Awesome, as always (I've probably seen him 20 times in concert).

They printed this for the occasion.

I checked out Death Note on Netflix. The reviews are pretty abysmal, but I enjoyed it for what it was.  It was an interesting premise. 
Lowering the brow of APF since 2010.

I've seen J.Williams, too, at the Bowl, and it's always an amazing show and performance.  notworthy.gif

The poster, tho, does little for me. It's a bit too on the nose, image-wise, imho.

Brief Moment (1933) with Carole Lombard & Gene Raymond (shown on TCM).

An early drama with comedic moments, that shows what Lombard would eventually do in her later flicks. And with a running time of 71 minutes, it was a quick and enjoyable watch.

A fun, lighthearted and enjoyable flicker with Clifton Webb, Myrna Loy and Jeanne Crain. (And based on a true story, too).

Cheaper By the Dozen (1950)

Last night.. a French movie, starring Charles Boyer, Danielle Darrieux & Vittorio De Sica, Madame de... (The Earrings of Madame de…)(1953)

Beautifully shot and acted, and overall, a wonderful movie. In French, with subtitles.

Great movie, Jeff.  If you liked Madame de, you should check out other films by Max Ophuls, in particular La Ronde, and Le Plaisir.  He was an extremely gifted filmmaker.  I'm also partial to Lola Montes.

Watched The Band Wagon (1953) last night, with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. A musical directed by Vincente Minnelli.

Truly a dumb story (imho) and the last part of the movie with a supposed theatrical show that was nothing but a bunch of unrelated musical numbers, played on a stage that must have been the size of a football field, and 4 stories high.  Doh.gif

Astaire was good, as was Charisse, and the Technicolor photography vivid and intense. And, of course, the well known song from this flick, "That's Entertainment."

Abandon Ship (1957), with Tyrone Power, Mai Zetterling and Stephen Boyd.

Based on a true story of an overloaded lifeboat, after its ship is sunk, and deciding who must be put out to see to as not endanger everyone in the small boat.

I wasnt familiar with it but caught it on TCM On-Demand. I enjoyed it, and the interaction between all those held together on the small watercraft.

Got home last night and flipped on the TV. I scrolled thru the channels and saw that PBS was showing Hitchcock's Suspicion (1941).

Had been a long time since I'd seen it, as was hooked right away. Such a great flick. And Grant and Fontaine are amazing to watch together, too.
