![]() |
|
By:
Not at all, I was glad to see Nick get it
. It was just a 'doh' moment for not recalling it...I wasn't getting there, not with this awful memory, lol! |
|
By:
for anyone who hasn't watched it; please do
|
|
By:
just jesting finky. Love love love that filum
|
|
By:
Sounded familiar but have to confess that I have never seen it.
|
|
By:
I agree Baphornet, great film, one of the all-time best. My father also loves that one. I'm also tickled by the fact that it has an anagram of:
Wild Thief - stars Cagney |
|
By:
HGS: i cannot tell you how good it is
nice one finky; i shall remember that |
|
By:
Am I imagining this? Do bits of it get played in the Home Alone films or is that another film altogether? 'Keep the change you filthy animal!'

i watched it 1st with my dear mummy; it affected me greatly as i was one likkle twot at the time
|
|
By:
Pat O'Brien was the priest, iirc.
|
|
By:
^ I used it in a film anagram quiz on here a few weeks back.
I've obviously not watched it for quite a while, else would have remembered the quote (well, had a better chance of it anyway! Never trust my krap memory these days! ) I must watch it again, surely must be available for rent on Prime. |
|
By:
dunno HGS; i have to confess i haven't watched that film
|
|
By:
Jimmy Cagney & O'Brien remained friends for life
|
|
By:
i struggled to get a stream of it last time i looked, finky
|
|
By:
Also not seen Home Alone, but seem to remember someone else discussing that HGS, possibly on here. Not sure what the outcome was though...
|
|
By:
Not on neftlix or prime or sky library.
|
|
By:
Ah, cheers Baphor. I'll take a look around on the weekend anyway, see what's available...
|
|
By:
Just googled. The film in Home Alone is Angels With Filthy Souls, and Angles With Filthier Souls in Home Alone 2, so, no. Both not real.
|
|
By:
^ Ah! That answers that then! Cheers HGS. Strange, you'd think that film would at least be available for rent...these streaming companies need to sort themselves out!
|
|
By:
Talking Pictures might be our best bet one day.
|
|
By:
Ha, maybe copyright costs prevented them using it, so they made something up with a close name!

This one might be too difficult and totally unfair (as it might be the only time someone's quoted it!
)But it amused me when I heard it and it stuck in the mind (for a change!) Another oldie (1940's) : "Go milk a duck!" |
|
By:
ok i've found a stream for it. I've never used this site so if you have reservations - keep away. Believe it or not it's called the Humphrey Bogart Channel[:laugh:]
https://ok.ru/video/258634353315 |
|
By:
It's an Alan Ladd film, and I think considered one of his best/most known.
|
|
By:
Nice one Baphor, well found.
|
|
By:
i know that finky, but will let it roll
|
|
By:
i have been the guinea pig, watched 5 mins & it seems kosher
|
|
By:
Thought you may have some recognition of it Baphor, as you're excellent on the classics. But will reveal for everyone else, as it's perhaps a wee bit obscure, and not exactly a quote that appears in quizzes a lot!
![]() This Gun For Hire |
|
By:
That's good news, one for the weekend then...(I'll double-check if that quote still appears at the end of the film
![]() ) |
|
By:
i wonder how tall he actually was? Be close between him & Gollum i would have thought
|
|
By:
I think Veronica Lake had to stand in a ditch quite a lot! (or possibly on a box in a ditch, like Python did in "Scott of The Sahara!")

i read a book about Burt Lancaster tother day, & he recalled a time he hid Kirk Douglas's lifts just before they hit a big one to one. "Douglas was really pîssed" Burt recalled![]() |
|
By:
So Kirky was probably a lot shorter than he looked on screen as well then, lol.Do you read a lot of cinema books Baphor? I used to read a fair few, until the gambling bug took over ![]() |
|
By:
oh god yes! Infuriates my good lady
Lots of rumours about Burt apparently; although i suspect that was more todo with him being anightmare to work with, & a deep love of art & Michelangelo![]() |
|
By:
Lol. Yes, I do recall hearing some 'strange' stories about Burt, and some of his preferences, and his behaviour at parties. I probably heard that on a documentary somewhere. The biog channel on Sky used to be very good, and then they strangely got rid of it.
I think he's great in some roles though. I especially liked The Swimmer, which by all accounts he had to partly finance himself in order to get it finished (all those details are no doubt in the book that you read, of course). And various production problems inc. change of director half-way through. But I still think it came out great; I really like it, despite it not being perfect (whatever 'perfection' may be!) |
|
By:
aye he apparently was not a great swimmer; which would of course have led to a few delays for resuscitation & massaging of limbs
|
|
By:
Ah, that's a surprising and interesting piece of info. I just assumed he was good at everything, what with his gymnastic ability and apparent general fitness. Well there go, the movies can you make you believe anything!

By:
I must be too much of a gent Baphor, not picking up on that, lol
![]() I also thought he was great in The Dam Busters ![]() |
