What was the last TV show you watched?
Two broadcasts from the Westinghouse Studio One program, Twelve Angry Men, from 1954, and Pontius Pilate, 1952. TAM had a stellar cast - Robert Cummings, Franchot Tone, Edward Arnold, Walter Abel, among others, including Norman Fell. Pontius Pilate featured Geraldine Fitzgerald and Cyril...- Julian Shellhammer

What's for Dinner?
Tonight, just little while ago in fact, my wife's crockpot pork chops in tomato soup with onions and bell peppers feast. A rare repast. She made this for me when we were dating, and I am positive now it was the missing ingredient that finally made me go buy the engagement ring.- Julian Shellhammer

The other night, Heroes for Sale (1933) dir. William Wellman, starring Richard Barthelmess, Aline MacMahon, and Loretta Young. Last night, A Quiet Place, co-written, directed, and starring John Krasinkski. Very well done: we all liked it.- Julian Shellhammer

Browsing through some threads, I found your idea for a radio broadcast. Your pitch sounds top-notch - did it ever come to pass?- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Littlest Rebel, starring Shirley Temple. Panama Hattie with Red Skelton and Ann Sothren, and a host of others. Based on the play by Herbert Fields and Buddy DeSylva. Songs by Cole Porter. Keep your ears turned up for the wisecracks and the high speed dialogue: if you laugh at one line, you...- Julian Shellhammer

New Mission:Impossible. Slow start, sort of tricky middle section, then non-stop thrills. NB: despite the high-speed last section, some of the dangers and situations made parts of the audience laugh.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Death on the Diamond (1934) with Robert Young as a rookie pitcher whose St. Louis Cardinals team-mates are being murdered. The title and the premise seem to have been lifted from Joe Gillis' story pitch to Mr. Sheldrake in Sunset Boulevard. Walter Brennan is unbilled as part of a trio working...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Saw JW Fallen Kingdom a couple of weeks ago: the Missus and I, and her brother and his wife, binged all the previous Jurassic movies as preparation for the latest offering. The consensus is the first one and the first Pratt one are the best. And yes, leather recliners and "reserved seating" are...- Julian Shellhammer

Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?
I shook Keye Luke's hand outside a revival theatre in Santa Monica where two Charlie Chan movies were shown. Also, got Captain Kangaroo's autograph from an appearance at UCLA: can't find it after all these years.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last night, Quigley Down Under. The Tom Selleck Mustache ably assisted by a massive soul-patch takes on Young Snapes in mid-1800s (?) Australia. Today, a hard-for-me-to-really-get-into film called Three Strangers, with Geraldine Fitzgerald, Sidney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre, and a screenplay...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
From Here to Eternity. Had not watched it as a grown-up: as a youngster, thought it would be a WW2 action movie. Director Fred Zinnemann chose to film in black and white and to avoid the wide screen ratio Hollywood was using to keep the movie-goers in the theaters; the film keeps us tightly...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A Walk in the Sun (1945) directed by Lewis Milestone, with a large cast headed by Richard Conte, Dana Andrews, George Tyne, Lloyd Bridges, and the screen debut of John Ireland. Huntz Hall gets a sort of straight role as a GI.- Julian Shellhammer

Alexander Nevsky, off of Filmstruck. Propaganda? Yes. Dazzling film-making? Indeed. Crime Wave, from Noir Alley. At 73 minutes, not a wasted shot in the story, thanks to director Andre de Toth. Personal favorite Timothy Carey (uncredited) plays the crazy thug character, speaking most of his...- Julian Shellhammer

From TCM's Noir Alley, The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950) with Lee J. Cobb, Jane Wyatt, and John (Gun Crazy) Dall. Despite its shoe-string budget and casting against type (Wyatt as a femme fatale and Cobb as a leading man), there were numerous suspense-building moments and some light touches in...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Whole Town's Talking (1935). John Ford directs Edward G. Robinson in a dual-character role comedy, with excellent trick photography. Jean Arthur plays the wise-cracking co-worker of Robinson's who delivers zingers with an arch smile. I didn't have on the subtitles, but I am almost positive...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Sometime last week, Reckless (1934) with Jean Harlow, William Powell, and Franchot Tone. Victor Fleming directed. Despite a power-packed cast and a story written pseudonymously by David Selznick, it lacks the punch and entertainment value it should. Admittedly, the two-tier Broadway sequence was...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Saturday night, Ocean's 11 (1960). The Missus prefers the remake. If you see it, watch for the dominant color schemes in the different sets - gray-walled apartments, blue-walled apartments, nearly completely white mansions. Also, there is something the color of orange in nearly every scene.- Julian Shellhammer
