yeah the time travel ones are usually good.Quote:

In this movie, Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu (Clifton Webb) selects a man who had died of pneumonia, because the corpse would need to have similarly damaged lungs if it had really drowned. There is also a very emotional scene where the man's father is persuaded to allow his son to be used for the deception. In fact, a Welsh vagrant, both of whose parents were dead, was used, and his death was due to his committing suicide by ingesting rat poison. It was judged to make it almost impossible to tell that this, rather than drowning, was the real cause of death. The identity of "the man who never was" was a closely guarded secret until 1998, when it was discovered that he was called Glyndwr Michael. His grave in Huelva, Spain (near the beach at Punta Umbria) now uniquely carries both his fictional and real names.
In a rare straight role, an uncredited Peter Sellers impersonated the voice of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Peter Sellers can also be heard as the voice coming over the airfield speaker during the parachute demonstration and, very briefly, as the voice of an unseen taxi driver. Sellers was a superb voice copier.
Wilt, 1989...

Watched Blue velvet again the other night, saw it first about 20 years ago, cracking film, I like Dennis Hopper, he was good in 'The American friend' too (my fave film. This week tried a couple of Tarkovsky films - Andrei Rublev, which was a bit slow, but the phrasing of each shot is so artistic it's a joy just to watch, even if the story line bogs it down a bit. Then another Tarkovsky - Solaris - which is mind bendingly good, again, quite slow, but such artistic shots. Getting bored of AMazon now, trying to find some 70s Hollywood thrillers I haven't seen.
Agree re. 'Blue Velvet', it is the most accessible of Lynch's films (apart from 'The Straight Story').
Apropos Tarkovsky, try to watch 'Stalker' and especially 'The Mirror'. He makes Hollywood look childish and obvious.
never managed to watch a film of his through...:rolleyes:Quote:
