What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Black Hand from 1950 with Gene Kelly and J. Carrol Naish The Black Hand, while a bit obvious in its storytelling and plotting, is still an engaging 1950 period movie set in the early 1900s in Manhattan's lower east side Italian immigrant community. Of interest to students of film will be...- Fading Fast

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I know I've posted about this before, but as a young kid in the 1970s, my introduction to Barbara Stanwyck was watching "The Big Valley" on reruns. It took a bit for me to connect her to her younger self in the old movies I'd see on late night or Sat/Sunday afternoon TV. On "The Big Valley,"...- Fading Fast

The Two Mrs. Carrolls from 1947 with Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart, Alexis Smith and Ann Carter The Two Mrs. Carrolls is a good movie whose whole is worth less than the sum of its parts. With Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart and Alexis Smith starring and a script from a hit Broadway play...- Fading Fast

Re "Annie," Other than the rooming house not quite fitting Nick's style (but he is a "you do what you have to do" guy), it feels like it could be him. Re "T&TP," Cheery's put on some weight since we last saw her.- Fading Fast

Alice in Wonderland from 1933 If you enjoyed Alice in Wonderland as a fairytale when you were a kid, you might enjoy this movie version of the story; if you didn't enjoy the book version, this movie is a hard pass as it's a reasonably faithful rendition. One take on the story is to see the...- Fading Fast

"A man's got oiges." "Nanananananana! I can't hear you!" The double-headed arrow. God bless the Daily News. It also could have been used quite effectively with one end pointing to Owen's glove and the other end to the ball, with the distance in between marked off. "It MIGHT be -- it...- Fading Fast

"J. Paul Getty????" I haven't been focused on this story, but I've followed it, did I miss Getty's name before or did it just pop up, amazingly, today?- Fading Fast

Good quote from a good movie that even had a respectable remake made in 2003, but the original, as almost always, is better.- Fading Fast

"And one day they found George Bungle lying face down in a quicklime pit." Or perhaps the service pit of a gas station. I've read that can happen, too. "Gawdawmighty."

Indochine from 1992 with Catherine Deneuve, Linh-Dan Pham, Vincent Perez and Jean Yanne Indochine is a beautifully filmed epic that observes more than it comments on the final decades of French colonial rule in Indochina, a part of which became Vietnam. But it is observation with an opinion...- Fading Fast

I agree with your take, but Mickey Owen's take, "we all did the worse things we ever did in our lives that day." is "a bit" of a stretch. And poor soccer-jersey-wearing Raven Sherman, one heck of a woman.- Fading Fast
