Happy Birthday, Ursula Andress

2011-03-19T20:01:00.000-07:00

I've really only seen one film with Ursula Andress, but that's enough to make me a fan.

The original Bond Girl from Dr. No.

And before some nerd mentions it. I realize there was James Bond tv movie before Dr. No. But that doesn't count.

70's Robert Mitchum

2011-03-17T22:30:00.000-07:00

In the 70's Robert Mitchum starred in a couple lesser known Phillip Marlowe films.

Farewell, My Lovely and The Big Sleep.

in fact he's the only actor to play the role more than once theatrically.

I can't help but think Mitch would have made a terrific Marlowe had they been made 30 years earlier.

Original versions from the 40' s with Dick Powell in Murder, my Sweet, and Bogart in The Big Sleep are far superior. Mitchum is great here, but these later films just dont have the atmosphere.

And the underground adult book racket in The Big Sleep seems really hard to invision in todays world.

In addition to Bogart and Powell, some other notable actors have donned the role including James Garner, Elliot Gould and James Caan.

Rowdie Animation Sneak Peek

2010-04-14T15:08:00.000-07:00

Pan & Scan version of an animated piece I did for the Indianapolis Indians.
The original is extremely widescreen. A whopping 2232 x 120.
about 14 screens wide. I had to pan& scan it in Final cut to get it show in this format.
The animation looks choppy because of the pan & scan. The original looks smooth.

Cary Grant "Suspicion"

2008-12-13T19:39:00.000-08:00

To me this is the pivotal scene in the movie. Cary Grant bringing a glass of milk to Joan Fontaine...is it poisioned???
Is he planning on murdering her?
I've often wonderd what his expression was as he climbed the stairs. In Hitchcock's Shot we never see Cary Grant's face.
