Love old films and music. Classic (and not so classic).
Pinned
Given the state of things, I have to take joy from the little things. Therefore, I'm happy to see that my favorite 007 score (and my favorite Bond film) is being released in an expanded form.
.. it goes without saying that composer John Barry is a legend.

An excellent point and one that I've long pondered. From "The Concert for Bangladesh" to "Live Aid" to "Farm Aid" and all of the public benefit efforts in between, none of them (by my count) were organized by the Trumps of the world.

No worries. I confuse actors and actresses all the time.

Excellent point. And not just the actors. IIRC, when "Stange Bargain" was aired on #NoirAlley, Muller made note that the film received a sequel of sorts on "Murder, She Wrote" - using many of the surviving players.

Television sleuth Jessica Fletcher solved a remarkable number of mysteries throughout the 12-year run of “Murder, She Wrote.” During the 264 episodes and four movies, the mystery writer – eternally…

Yes!!!
"Godzilla 1985" is the U.S. edit of 1984's "The Return Of Godzilla". IIRC, Burr actually had a great deal of affection for Godzilla and demanded that they tone down some of the more comedic aspects of the U.S. film inserts. It is, however, a hard version to locate now.

Thanks to everyone at #TCMParty and #NoirAlley for a great morning (and from limiting my doom scrolling). Until next week: be safe out there.

It occurred to me a while back that Stanwyck is the Stan Musial of actresses (baseball fans may get the analogy). In a career spanning decades, she witnessed significant changes yet she was always on top of her game.

Well Eddie, Stanwyck did do "The Night Walker" in 1964 (which was a pretty good movie BTW)

Well, that affair was a short one. No promotion for Bill ...
so, no Tony (as in shot dead). 💔
..... Bill, the killer is a bit closer to home, so there is no need for everyone else to get involved. 🙄

Well, if it wasn't an affair before then, it is now.

Yes. In fact, the connections that Perry Mason has with old horror and sci-fi films is a running joke on METV's Svengoolie.

But an "older" Barbara Stanwyck is still 🔥.

I agree w/Burr having a day. But only on the condition that I get "Godzilla 1985" out of it. 🤓
January 11, 2026 at 3:50 PM
Kathy has a "new and improved" social circle it appears.
Stanwyck is knocking this out of the park ... as usual. 👍

I guess love conquers all, but Kathy as a police detectives' wife doesn't strike me as a long-term match. But let's see if these young (middle aged actually) love birds can make a go at it.

Yep. That was Robert Ryan (who boxed in college BTW). But I have a feeling that one would be wise to avoid Hayen in a fight as well.

People that say that, typically would have a tough time boiling a cup of water. So, they may not even know that there are utensils in a kitchen.
January 11, 2026 at 3:22 PM
Yes. The shot of the newspaper truck reminds me of "Sweet Smell of Success." Do you think Kathy and JJ are pen-pals? 🧐

I've been up since Godzilla was fighting a giant moth! So, send some of that coffee over to my house when you get a chance.

The job of a public notary is a tough one!
Seriously, #DOA is really well done - especially as it was a product of one of "poverty row" studios. And I mean - like really well done.

Edmond O'Brien appreciation post.
A fine actor that doesn't get his due IMO. "White Heat", "The Hitch-Hiker", "The Killers" etc.. are all made better by him.

Correction: #DOA has been remade five times (I forgot 2006's "Crank"). It has also been done up as a stage play with an original Jazz score.
#TCMParty
#DOA has to be one of the most remade films in history. Wiki lists 4 different re-makes: Color Me Dead (1969), D.O.A. (1988), Dead On Arrival (2017), and D.O.A. (2022).
... and I haven't seen any of them (yet).
