    Interesting video

    It makes sense up til 1995 then it's all just metrosexual vanilla with no identifiable style at all.

    The Big Sleep location?

    Interesting stuff!

    The Big Sleep location?

    I totally agree about this film's watchability. I've lost count on how many times I've seen it. The book gives a much better accounting of the murders, pornography, etc. All too hot for Hollywood to handle in 1946. If you haven't read it yet, do so and then re-watch the movie. Your head will...

    The Big Sleep location?

    Agreed Mike. Greystone is a must see. You are correct about the Geiger house appearing at night and in the rain, which tends to make one believe in the controlled environment. Is your thesis film available on youtube? :D

    The Big Sleep location?

    I believe Sternwood was a set as well but Chandler's image of it was heavily influenced by Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills which has it's own sordid history. Read up on the Doheny murder/suicide for more info. Chandler alluded to the cover up in his book The High Window. However he changed...

    Good info Mike, thanks.

    The Big Sleep location?

    Hi Gang, I did some research on this a few years back and never found a definitive answer. Now it's piqued my curiosity again. The home of A.G. Geiger in The Big Sleep listed as being on Laverne Terrace in the Hollywood Hills; I'd assumed it was filmed on one of the Warner...

    Can Anyone Here Identify These Two Items?

    I recently purchased an old car and these were in a box tucked away in the trunk. They look vaguely familiar, (probably seen some in an antique store before) but I just can't place them. Your thoughts? Ed Bass Hotel Central, Milwaukee "We're all together"

    Break Out the Board Games!

    This time of year, when the family's gathered round, after we've finished enjoying a couple hours of Masterpiece Theatre followed by brandy and cigars over a few games of chess, we retire to the library where the true mental stimulation begins over a challenging game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

    Which is your favorite Golden Age movie studio

    I too chose Warner Bros.... but it's diificult not to mention Hal Roach Studios among these other luminaries. Hal, of course, gave us Laurel & Hardy, Our Gang, Harold Lloyd and the lovely Thelma Todd among others (and then lived on to the ripe old age of 100!) Best, Toots

    Great post-classic noir.

    The Two Mrs. Grenvilles Claudette Colbert's final screen appearance. Best, Toots

    Just because they could, didn't mean they should...

    UGH! I agree completely. Hank Jr. also did this with a recording by his dead father Hank Sr. And the ultimate musical sacrelige was Paul, George and Ringo stooping to this level when they recorded "Free As A Bird" using a poor recording of an unfinished John Lennon song. It was a tacky ploy...

    GM Announces the End of Pontiac

    Yes, I have a 1968 Firebird 400, 4 speed in the garage. Verdoro (dark metallic) green with black vinyl roof and black interior, all numbers match and it has the hood tach as well. I've been a Pontiac fan for years and have owned 4 '66 GTO's, 2 '67 GTO's and a '67 Firebird 400, 4 speed...

    Indeed.

    World War I ended . . . last Sunday!

    Very interesting. A crippling penance, which only served to fuel another conflict. Be careful how hard you spank.... And the German people almost a century later are still burdened with this? When is enough, enough? Best, Toots

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    Dewhurst, you are absolutely correct. I'm sure everyone who's ever watched an on screen brawl takes it for granted that men can easily withstand 8, 10 or even 20 full-on punches to the cranium and just shake it off like so many gnats. Cruiser weight fighters could not withstand this sort of...

    The Great Beer Thread
