Favourite clips from films, adverts, soaps.

I have just been trying to find the full film on You Tube. It states unavailable? I can only find trailers for the Bette Davies version of the film. I did find a full film from 1929 staring Jeanne Eagels and OP Hoggie, adaptation from the  play  'The Letter' by W Somerset Maugham  it runs for 59:54.? I think it is a very early version. I will wait to see if I get the chance to watch the film with Bette Davis staring .

I do like this ad for Maltesers This is Beattie Edmondson daughter of Ade Edmondson and Jennifer Saunders. http://www.davidreviews.tv/Work/Maltesers_Leaving/

carnie and margie, here's one for you both. A wonderful fantasy romance film starring the lovely Jennifer Jones. The music is nearly all Dubussy. creating a mistiness to the story. Note the use of col

I have posted a scene from the Bette Davis picture Dark Victory before (not that anyone took any notice). I make no apology for posting another. This scene displays her superb acting skills, without h

Carni, I did chuckle at the appropriate misspell of 'starring'  as BD did a lot of 'staring'!  It's not her fault but she did have very protruding eyes, poor love.  Maybe she had hyperthyroidism - that sometimes happens with that....

On a positive note (I had to try very hard) I thought  the discordant music was well thought out at appropriate times during the film.

The author was only a teenager when she wrote A Taste of Honey! It is a brilliant film which I have on DVD. Dora Bryan is unequalled as Helen, Jo's irrepressible mother, yet manages to convey the tragic life she's had. Bryan, I feel, was a greatly underrated actress. Her face is able to tell a story without the need for dialogue.

Clockwise is a favourite of mine, especially the part with the hymn "He who would valiant be against all disaster!" Very funny and very appropriate.

When my friend and I saw this at the cinema we laughed so much our eyes were sore and our ribs ached. We were helpless at the part where the head uses his binoculars to spot smokers from his office. We used to work at a school where the head of year spotted smokers from the staff room window using binoculars.

Love the bit where Brian is trying to tell the crowd he is not the Messiah and they keep repeating everything he says ...

Brian: ”You are all individuals!”

Crowd: ”We are all individuals”

Michael Palin: “I’m not!”

 

Clever!

I love the drumming gorilla advert, was it for Cadbury’s chocolate. Best films, Shining, Kelly’s Heroes and Gone With The Wind. Always watch them when they appear on tv.

Correct TBI about Freddie Frinton  this film is certainly a German New Year tradition we have been over to my brothers for last 2 new years and yes! they watch it and watch it again and again.

Then they say Germans have no sense of humour. They must have something or they would not watch Freddie Frinton.
