DJBrenton 738 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've seen plenty of sites to find the pop number 1 when you were born, but of course the charts started too late for many of the members here to have had a number 1 on their birthday. What was the number 1 film (in America I think) when you were born? http://playback.fm/birthday-movie Mine was Zarak which I had to look up Zarak is a 1957 British Warwick Films CinemaScope in Technicolor action film based on the 1949 book The Story of Zarak Khan by A.J. Bevan. It was directed by Terence Young with assistance from John Gilling and Yakima Canutt. Set in the Northwest Frontier and Afghanistan (though filmed in Morocco), the film starred Victor Mature, Michael Wilding, Anita Ekberg, and featured Patrick McGoohan in a supporting role.

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 My film was House of Wax thanks DJ, and entrance fee was 60 cents! I am just about young enough for a No 1, it was Frankie Laine with 'I Believe'. Are you going to watch Zarak now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merthyr Imp 729 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 For me it was the Disney 'Cinderella'. I hadn't realised the film was as old as that (I knew I was of course). It must have been nearly 10 years later that I saw it at the cinema (The New Empress if I remember right). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Oh - Sweet Rosie O`Grady was the film and the song was by the Mills Brothers and by the time I`d got back here I`d forgotten the title. Sad, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blondie 1,392 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 'Brief Encounter' - with Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard.......my kind of old fashioned love film, a chance meeting on a railway station between 2 respectable married people, when the man (a doctor) removes a piece of grit from the lady's eye and a brief fling developes into a short intense romance which leads to heartache as the man is destined to go to South Africa to embark on a Medical Career in the coming weeks.........A real tearjerker...........

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 CP WHAT!!!! never seen The Third Man. Only the best British film ever made. Saw it a few weeks ago at the Broadway in Nottingham. It is on YouTube. What was No.1 when I was born - Gone With The Wind. All About Eve - terrific Bette Davis picture.

Commo 1,292 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Possessed with Joan Crawford and Van Heflin, but I was too young to go and see it! If you've never seen The Third Man, make sure that you do; it's a great film and that zither is fantastic for setting the atmosphere of the film. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AntW1956 8 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 My film was: The Lieutenant Wore Skirts In this hilarious romp starring Tom Ewell, Sheree North and Rita Moreno, a middle-aged ex-serviceman who plans to re-enlist (Ewell) is shocked to learn that not only did he fail his medical exam, his wife (North) has enlisted - and is really making the grade in the Air Force. Unhappy to be a "house husband," he flies to Hawaii to be near her - and also to hatch a scheme to get her discharged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
