Dane Clark day on TCM:
That Way With Women (1947) Dane Clark, Martha Vickers, Sydney Greenstreet. A 'b' rom/com from the classic era. My gal pals and I were a-flutter over Dane, and today I wonder why? 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039893/combined
Embraceable You (1948) Dane Clark, Geraldine Brooks, S. Z. Sakall. A nice romance, with bad boy Dane, reforming to take care of the girl he hit with his car after a robbery, and left the scene. But he does the right thing. And I love the music theme that became a huge hit and was danced to cheek to cheek for many years. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040315/combined
My Collection:
Viva Zapata (1952) Marlon Brando, Jean Peters, Anthony Quinn, Joseph Wiseman. Brando never was better. Great cast. The story of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who led a rebellion against the corrupt, oppressive dictatorship of president Porfirio Diaz in the early 20th century. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045296/combined
I Love You To Death (1990) Tracey Ullman, Kevin Kline, Joan Plowright, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, William Hurt. What a cast! I taped this off HBO back in 1991 and haven't watched it for a long time. Just as funny and special. Based on a true story of a wife who finally gets wise to her cheating husband and tries to have him killed. Outrageous, but funny. Whole cast is having a romp. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040315/combined
The end of the month. October used to mean smoke from leaf fires, and the neighborhood men and women raked up huge piles and burned them. No more. We know better now. That was polution. But it is a memory of childhood and neighbors.
