poohbear 1,360 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Saturday night Sunday morning, gritty and real enough? Apart from that Finney never quite cracked the word 'duck'...he never seemed comfortable saying it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 About 'Fonzies bike' , I read it last night in a "Bathroom book" I'm reading , "Steve Wrights More Factoids " or some thing like it . So I'd be inclined to take it with a pinch of salt knowing him, although he could just mean the same model! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wasn't doubting your word Beefsteak or trying to get one up etc, we only know in a lot of cases what we read or are told? unless through personal experience of course, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 There was no offence taken Ash ! I am more inclined to believe you than him !! The book was list priced at £6.99 (I paid 99p from the local "Works" bookshop), and the amount of facts that are in it could be loaded onto 4 pages of A4, and you'd still have room for an index , bibliography and a titles page.!!!

jackson 301 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 ALAN SILLITOE, World Renowned Nottingham Writer of 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' - the book spawning the film of the same name A few years back I went to hear Alan give a talk on his life's work at Southwell Library. A dapper, little man in his three piece suit, he was sitting behind a desk; a small bookcase at the back of him in which was displayed his life's work. He told us that way back in the 50's, with his pension from the Army and his partner Ruth, he had chosen to live in Majorca because the cost of living was reasonable and of course there was the sun. It was under the palm trees that he wrote 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' - little was he to know of the book's forthcoming success and its making into a film. When released the film 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' generated so much money that the studio was able to begin work on the 'James Bond' films. Alan liked to think that with the success of his first book he'd brought this about. Incidentally, the lovely actress Shirley Ann Field later became very much interested in politics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 'Pensioners' Special' tomorrow: 22 / 02 / 2012, 1.30 at the 'Broadway' Cinema, Broad Street, Nottingham. FILM: 'Carnage' Director: Roman Polanski, 2012 Starring: Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C Reilly 'God Of Carnage', Yasmina Reza's award winning play has been adapted for the screen by Polanski. The film deals with the anger and corruptness lying beneath the respectable behaviour of two New York City couples. Summoning up the sinister from under the cover of normalcy is something Polanski excels at: 'Rosemary's Baby'. Cost: £4 (drink and nibbles included) Good Deal Advice: Get there early - plenty of seats to choose from - as this is a popular venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley 288 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Was watching "The Red Beret" on tv this morning, crap I know but apart from owt else had a crush on Susan Stephan after I saw it at Futurist aged about 8! anyway noticed today Alan Ladd takes said Waaf out on a BSA M20 500cc combo, ( or it may have been the M21 600cc! lol) either way both had slow revving side valve 4 stroke single thumpers yet when started it sounded like some tinny 2 stroke,c/w with pop pop on over run, obviously overdubed with likes of a villiers engine, I wonder why?

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Ah, the young Jean Simmons! Its one of my favourite films. I think all these starchy, self contained women remind me of The Manning...that and their hostility to Mr Dean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
