For movie lovers only
Big movies of the past that seem different now
|
"Double Indemnity", 1944
One of the greatest American film noir movies,
Barbara Stanwyck is one of the finest
Americans actresses of
all time, and probably
the most underrated,
|
|
"My Darling Clementine", 1945
One of the greatest American classics, and pure mush,
Almost nothing about the infamous Shootoutt at
the O.K. Corral happened this way,
Yet so powerful and touching. A favorite of mine,
|
|
"Duel In The Sun", 1946 -- INTENSE
Handling horses was never the same.
This move was considered shocking
and almost obscene
when it was first released,
|
|
"Dial M For Murder", 1954
Ray Milland plays one of the
slickest smoothest, most
slippery liars and con men in movies history .
|
|
"Not As A Stranger" (1955)
About when the 1960s Fullerton doctors were young men,
Look who the medical students and doctors are here.
|
|
"The Man With The Golden Arm" 1955, HARD TO WATCH
One of the first Hollywood movies that
approached he subject of drug addiction honestly,.
Frank Sinatra as a heroin addict,
|
|
"The Young Lions" 1958 HYPER-VIOLENT
Still scary after all these years
This sequence was filmed on
location in Borrego Springs, CA
|
|
"Can Can", 1960
Many considered the dance
shocking snd lewd at the time,
|
|
"he Absent Minded Professor", 1961
How science works.
I laughed as much here at this
movie as I ever have at a theater.
So much fun,
|
|
"The Guns of Navarone", 1961 EXCITING
Jeff Nic and I wen to this
one at the Fox Fullerton,
Remember, bro?
|
|
"Under The Yum Yum Tree", 1963
Mr. John B Ferzacca explained in our 1967
Creative Writing Class what a sleazy,
misogynist movie this was.
A bachelor peeping tom in an
apartment building who
spies on the young woman,
What a creep, .
