| 1954  *A little trivia... Sterling Hayden once said, "There isn't enough money in Hollywood to make me work with Joan Crawford again. And I like money". That was nothing compared to her feud with Mercedes McCambridge. She was jealous of the younger star and was infuriated when the crew burst into applause after one of her scenes. According to Nicholas Ray, he then began shooting the younger actress' scenes in the early morning before Crawford got there. After the star witnessed one of these early shoots she flew into a rage, broke into McCambridge's dressing room and slashed her clothes to shreds. McCambridge blamed her next two years of inactivity on Crawford's repeated attempts to blacklist her. | |

|  Storyline When her father is hanged for shooting his wife and her lover, biracial Pearl Chavez goes to live with distant relatives in Texas. Welcomed by Laura Belle and her elder lawyer son Jesse, she meets with hostility from the ranch-owner himself, wheelchair-bound Senator Jackson McCanles, and with lustful interest from demonizing, unruly younger son Lewt. Almost at once, already existing family tensions are exacerbated by her presence and the way she is physically drawn to Lewt. | |

|  Architect Walter Craig (Mervyn Johns), seeking the possibility of some work at a country farmhouse, soon finds himself once again stuck in his recurring nightmare. Dreading the end of the dream that he knows is coming, he must first listen to all the assembled guests' own bizarre tales. The film's U.S. distributor thought that it was too long; therefore, two of the five segments, "Christmas Party" and "Golfing Story", were both cut. This confused U.S. audiences, who could not understand at all what Michael Allen from "Christmas Party" was doing in the nightmare montage at the end of it. The two segments have since been restored to all U.S. releases of the film. | |

|  The biggest box office hit of Bette Davis's career. The movie's line "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." was voted as the #46 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100). | |

|  In his autobiography, Charles Chaplin described the making of this film as "like pulling teeth" due to the mental block he suffered as a result of his unhappy marriage to Mildred Harris. | |

|  Hysterical little film that’s reminiscent of “Duel in the Sun” in that it features a somewhat tortured dark-haired beauty trapped between two men, one who could be good to her, one who will be very bad for her. | |

|  Texas greenhorn Joe Buck arrives in New York City for the first time. Preening himself as a real "hustler", he finds that he is the one getting "hustled" until he teams up with down-and-out but resilient outcast Ratso Rizzo. The initial "country cousin meets city cousin" relationship deepens. In their efforts to bilk a hostile world rebuffing them at every turn, this unlikely pair progress from partners in shady business to comrades. Each has found his first real friend. Trivia Before Dustin Hoffman auditioned for this film, he knew that the all-American image that he carried after The Graduate could easily cost him the job. To prove that he could play Rizzo, he asked the auditioning film executive to meet him on a street corner in Manhattan, and in the meantime, dressed himself in filthy rags. The executive arrived at the appointed corner and waited, barely noticing the "beggar" less than ten feet away who was accosting people for spare change. At last, the beggar walked up to him and revealed his true identity. | |

|  The family of "Big Daddy" Pollitt (Burl Ives) convenes at his and Big Momma's (Dame Judith Anderson's). Among the attendees is alcoholic son, Brick (Paul Newman); an ex-football player, who spends his time drinking and avoiding the ministries of his libidinous wife, Maggie (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) - "the cat". As this gathering isn't so much as a gathering but a farewell (Big Daddy is terminally ill) a lot of memories and revelations which had been hidden come to the surface of both father and son. TRIVA - Tennessee Williams wrote the role of "Big Daddy" Pollitt with Burl Ives in mind. Prior to the original stage production, Ives was known primarily as a folk singer, and many within the theatre community questioned Williams' decision. Ives won rave reviews in the role on stage and screen, and went on to a long and prestigious acting career. Last edited by imonline on 2023-08-07 19:11:42 | |

|  Storyline Dr. Constance Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) is a psychiatrist at Green Manors mental asylum. The head of Green Manors has just been replaced, with his replacement being the renowned Dr. Anthony Edwardes (Gregory Peck). Romance blossoms between Dr. Petersen and Dr. Edwards, but Dr. Edwards starts to show odd aversions and personality traits. Trivia The dream sequence was to be produced by poverty-row studio Monogram, and met with rejections by producer David O. Selznick. Alfred Hitchcock originally wanted Josef von Sternberg to shoot it, but he ended by directing it himself, working closely with Dali.While the movie was in production, Selznick promoted it as "Dali's Dream", capitalizing on Dali's recognition by the American public and the press. On his interviews with François Truffaut (for a book published in 1966), Hitchcock says: "When we got to the dream sequences, I really wanted to break with the tradition of cinematic dreams which are usually hazy and confusing, with the screen shaking, etc. I asked Selznick to make sure the Salvador Dali's collaboration. Selznick agreed but I'm sure he thought I wanted Dali because of the publicity it would give us. The only reason was my desire to achieve very visual dreams with sharp, clear strokes , in an image clearer than that of the film precisely. I wanted Dali because of the sharp aspect of his architecture (...) - the long shadows, the infinity of the distances, the lines which converge towards the perspective... the shapeless faces... Naturally, Dali invented some rather strange things that it was not possible to achieve. I was anxious because the production did not want to make certain expenses. I would have liked to shoot Dali's dreams on location so that everything would be flooded with light and become terribly high-pitched, but I was refused this and had to shoot in the studio." | |

| Cleopatra Jones (1973)  Cleopatra Jones is a United States Special Agent assigned to crack down on drug-trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. After she burns a Turkish poppy field, the notorious drug-lord Mommy is furious at the loss of her supply and vows to destroy Cleopatra Jones. Mommy uses her connections with bad cops on the force to cause trouble for Cleopatra's friends and set her up for an attack. Meanwhile, Mommy is having trouble with some of her pushers, like the renegade Doodlebug. Trivia - Cleo's car is a customized black and silver 1973 Corvette Stingray. When she opens the door to get out, the T-bar panel in the roof above the driver's seat automatically opens, so she can get out without squashing her Afro. Five Corvettes were custom-made for the film. One also appears in an episode of The Rockford Files (1974). | |

|  Film that relates the story, as told by high-school principal Dr. Carroll to parents at a PTA meeting, of the scourge of marijuana. The tale revolves around Mae and Jack, accomplices in the distribution of marijuana, who manage to entice the local high-school kids to come to Mae's apartment to smoke reefer. The lives of all who are involved with this menace are inevitably shattered. One man becomes so addicted to the killer weed that the guilt over framing a teen for murder causes a judge to order him to be committed for life to a mental hospital. Dr. Carroll closes by advising us to not incur the same tragedy. TRIVIA: Inspired by the case of Victor Licata, who killed his father, mother, two brothers, and a sister with an ax in Tampa, FL, on 10/16/33, allegedly while under the influence of marijuana. Declared unfit to stand trial for reasons of insanity, subsequent psychiatric examination at the Florida State Mental Hospital determined that Licata suffered from schizophrenia with homicidal tendencies. The Licata case was used to propagandize the passage of the federal Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 that effectively outlawed legal sales of the "demon weed". According to author John Cocchi in his book "Second Feature", Thelma White told him she was loaned in 1938 from RKO to do the film. According to her, the film was written by a religious group and shot in three weeks. | |

IMDB Link Storyline: Vicious drug dealer Vince Ryker escapes from San Quentin with another prisoner after stabbing a guard to death and stealing what he believes to be a cannister filled with experimental heroin from the prison hospital. In reality the container is filled with cobalt-60, a highly radioactive substance which threatens the entire city if it is somehow opened. The ruthless Ryker dumps his dying cellmate and murders a bypassing motorist, burning his body beyond recognition. Assuming a new identity, Ryker heads for Los Angeles to become reunited with his beautiful girlfriend and Crown, a corrupt businessman and front man for Ryker's drug business. Fully aware of the potential dangers of the situation, the authorities are engaged in race against time to recover the cannister and avoid citywide panic. | |||
