    The Cat and the Canary, 1939... bluray directed by Elliot Nugent... reg a disc...






    Many people believe that the lawyer's name (Crosby) is an in-joke reference to the Bob Hope(I)/Bing Crosby pairing. In fact it's a coincidence; this was the character's name in the stage play as well as the two previous film versions. Moreover, Hope and Crosby did not make a film together until Road to Singapore (1940) the following year.


    In one scene at the beginning of the movie, a crocodile is shown swimming through the bayou. If you look closely at its snout, you can see tape, preventing it from opening its mouth.

    6.10pm today on Talking Pictures TV, 'Two Way Stretch' with Peter Sellers & crew. One of the best sixties comedies, great fun!

    The Mouse on the Moon, 1963..




    Ron Moody was only four years older than Bernard Cribbins, who played his son Vincent.

    The American premier was held at Cape Canaveral, Florida, where cast members mingled with NASA astronauts.

    A good take-on, and spoof of films about extra-terrestrials.

    some needed humour now with... Throw Momma from the Train, 1987.





    When Larry reads the book title "100 Girls I'd Like to Pork", the word "pork" is clearly dubbed in, because he is saying something else, most likely "fuck", which you cannot say in a sexual context without receiving an R rating from the MPAA. The word "pork" is at a different volume and doesn't match his lip movement.

    The movie was set in 1987, the present day. At the end of the movie, Larry and Owen meet again the next year, 1988, and Larry asks "How's Momma?" to which Owen replies "Dead." Sadly, Anne Ramsey did die in 1988, a year after the movie was released.

    I watched 'The Big Country' 1958 once again on 5 ACTION channel last night. I'd forgotten what a superb movie it was, a proper treat!

    '10 Rillington Place' (1971)

    Richard Attenborough is serial-killer John Christie in a fairly accurate re-telling of the real-life events.

    Good film this mainly because Attenborough and John Hurt both give very convincing performances. Ludovic Kennedy, who wrote a book about it, was a technical advisor, as was hangman Albert Pierrepont, who was brought in to ensure the hanging scene was as accurate as possible.

    The exterior shots in the film were on the actual location. The street was renamed in the 1950s and then the whole area demolished completely not long after the film was made. It has since been re-developed beyond recognition. The street no longer exists under any name.

    Christie had a high IQ but his big problem was disposing of the bodies. He buried some in the back yard but his dog was digging them up. An initial police search failed to find the shallow graves, or notice that a human femur was propping up the fence.

    With the yard full, Christie resorted to stashing corpses in an alcove of his kitchen and then wallpapering over it. They were discovered when a new tenant attempted to fit brackets for a shelf he was putting up. At his trial Christie pleaded insanity but the jury didn't buy it and he was hanged.
