The Night Walker (1964)

"Have you ever dreamed that you were flying, flying into strange places, far beyond the worlds we know? Yes, that's it: fly. Fly! Maybe you can get away after all... fly! Fly! No. There's no escape. Now you're falling, falling... and they say if you ever complete that fall in a dream, you'll be dead. Yes, there's death in your dreams, too. Death and blood and the realm beyond death - the realm of eternity."

Castle eschewed his usual stunts and theatre gimmicks in favour of the high #profile Stanwyck Taylor casting‚ and there's no onscreen intro by him either (but the opening narration we do get by Frees overlays some of #the most impressive imagery in the whole film‚ visual interpretations of dreams and nightmares that stand alongside some of the best trippy #visuals of this era). the plot is so much hokum but i must admit it kept me guessing to some degree; Stanwyck is very fine playing against #type‚ and Bochner makes for a suitably otherworldly dream figure. the final black and white feature from Universal studios‚ the lukewarm #reception of this film marked the beginning of the end of Castle's reign as a horror king of US cinema. he'd wanted Joan Crawford for the #lead and that's a film I'd have been very interested to see but props to Babs on a strong performance #outside of the dream stuff this owes a fair debt to Hitchcock's Psycho (which had been Bloch's own stepping stone into the film biz)

In 1939, a time traveler from an undisclosed time in the 20th Century travelled back to Berlin to try and assassinate Adolf Hitler and prevent World War II. He ran out of time before he could accomplish his goal and history continued on its natural course. ("No Time Like the Past", The Twilight Zone, TV)

June Bride

Anybody who thinks Bette Davis couldn’t play comedy need only look at ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), which isn’t exactly Greek tragedy, to see how wrong they are. Yet, that fallacious assumption is at least understandable given the comedies Warner Bros. usually gave her during her lengthy stay at the studio. Apart from THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER (1941), the scripts were pretty weak, though at least she had the consolation of co-starring with Leslie Howard in 1937’s IT’S LOVE I’M AFTER and James Cagney in 1941’s THE BRIDE CAME C.O.D. In Bretaigne Windust’s JUNE BRIDE (1948, TCM, Plex), she had neither a good script nor a congenial leading man. She’s convincing as a tough lady editor (with a great Edith Head wardrobe), but as the former lover assigned to write a wedding story under her, Robert Montgomery is just wrong. He’s not horrible in the scenes without Davis. By 1948, he’d at least acquired enough life experience to play with a degree of conviction. But his comic style doesn’t match hers. Davis keeps struggling to find the truth in the shoddy plot and succeeds a good deal of the time. She has the star’s trick of playing as if she had a secret. She’s always withholding something, which makes her lighter scenes charming. The only scene that seems false is her big Act II confrontation with Montgomery. The writing is so phony even Davis can’t whip it into shape, and the whole idea that a strong, accomplished woman needs a man to serve is just antediluvian. But there are other moments — her reaction to a wedding, a cross to turn out a light — that reach the level of mastery for which she was most acclaimed. Montgomery doesn’t withhold anything. He mugs mercilessly, making him the country bumpkin’s notion of a sophisticate (no wonder he played so much light comedy at MGM). The two stars seem to be in different movies; he’s a McKinley stinker, and she’s a Truman modern. There’s a very deft supporting performance by Betty Lynn as the bride’s younger sister who blossoms convincingly and nice supporting moments from Fay Bainter and Mary Wickes as Davis’ assistants, Jerome Cowan as her publisher and Marjorie Bennett and Tom Tully as the bride’s parents. If you blink, you’ll miss Debbie Reynolds’ film debut as a wedding guest.

KISS ME DEADLY (1955) Grade: B-

I'm not sure, but I'm going to guess this movie shocked the audience when it came out. The plot felt ahead of its time. The ending was good, I'm trying to think of earlier films like this with a similar surprise ending.

The Bennetts from Down Other

Enid (Looks like Gish & Pickford, eh?) Four of five Australian Bennett siblings figure in Hollywood history. I became interested in Enid Bennett (1893-1969) because she played Maid Marian to Douglas Fairbanks’ Robin Hood (1922) and was the second wife of director Fred Niblo. Her sister Marjorie Bennett (1896-1982) was a bit player though she many more screen credits than Enid, many in classic…

Wshjsjsjsi I had a thought what if Bianca calls Bennett's dads "dad" and Aslia and Marjorie her sisters and Bianca's adoptive "family" are just in the background seething bc they're seeing their "golden ticket" of sorts find love and acceptance from others 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Six Plays by Alan Bennett: All Day on the Sands (1.6, LWT, 1979)

"Look at the level of that sauce. Only started yesterday, it's gone down dramatically. I'm under no compulsion to provide sauce. Lathering it on. It's not as if my cooking needed sauce!"

"Make it available on request. Sauce available on request, that'll bring them to a sense of responsibility."

"Wouldn't care, but they go at the salt and pepper like lunatics. You'd think they'd never seen a cruet in their lives."

#six plays by alan bennett #all day on the sands #alan bennett #giles foster #1979 #single play #marjorie yates #alun armstrong #gary carp #susan hopkins #jane freeman #ken jones #helene palmer #lynne carol #clifford kershaw #harry markham #albert modley #rosalind wilson #jonathan coy #stephen greenwood #bert gaunt #elizabeth dawn #having pushed the envelope a little at times‚ this series ends on a safer note with a classic Bennett piece about holidaymakers and wryly #observed class and relationship inspired dialogue. it's also for my money perhaps the weakest of the six plays; it has some brilliantly #sharp lines and scenes in true Bennett fashion but the overall play is just a little... aimless. a meandering look at a family on holiday #as Alun Armstrong's father figure struggles with being newly unemployed and Marjorie Yates as his wife variously supports‚ cajoles‚ and #picks at him. at the centre are their two children‚ but particularly their son‚ whose misadventures we follow as he attempts to retrieve a #lost sandal. it's fine enough but it doesn't really go anywhere‚ and it hasn't the bite nor the impact that the others in this strand had #i think partly as well that lies with Giles Foster's direction‚ which hasn't the spark or creativity of Lindsay Anderson‚ nor the fluidity #or careful precision of Stephen Frears (who helmed 4 of the 6 plays and acted as producer). still‚ despite my griping‚ not a bad piece

It would be cool if a few signs like this showed up in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

Speaking of traitors, the hunt for January 6th insurrectionists continues throughout the US. Another MAGA loser just got nabbed – this time in Wisconsin.

Plover man charged in Jan. 6 attack on US Capitol

Lock ‘em up!
