What classics did you see last week ? (9Feb - 15 Feb 2020)

Here is the Tele week, before and after heart problems.


I have to be honest, while I liked some parts and actors, it wasn't a movie for me.
I can understand others attraction and I respect that.


A very tough movie to watch. Kristen Wiig plays a woman with a very serious personal disorder, who happens to become a millionaire in a lottery. She more or less forces a small TV producing company near bankrupcy to produce 2 hour productions solely about her, with her cheques.
Since there is nobody in the movie to feel for it's a very tough watch, that didn't even made a million dollar at the box-office.
My brother an I once yoked around trying to explain some movies, and some movies seams to be made solely to please Movie Festival Critics, and that is were it can go wrong.


While laying at the hospital I suddenly thought about Louis Armstrong and "We Have All the Time in the World" and that there is still something left.
I love this movie even if it's Sean-less. Telly is a great Bloefield, he and Donald Pleasance are the best Bloefields. Nowdays Dame Diana Rigg is a marvelous "Bond Bride".
Ilse Steppart character ordered a "Piz Gloria" for Bond, i've been looking around the net and I can't find a dish called "Piz Gloria" LOL!


and bombastic he was in the shape of James Robertson Justice (who found his niche playing variations of Sir Lancelot Spratt after the first Doctor movie)
Funny in parts, seeing once modern kitchen tools was very interesting, we really heated bread that way once?




Something tells me that this very studio bound movie might have come a few years too late, I get that feeling, it's too studio bound for a 1960's movie.
Sentimental gangsters of Damon Runyon belonged to another era.
The Dude played by Glenn Ford (sometimes I forget he was a good comedian too), 8 years before The Italian Job 1969, a car moves up a ramp and hides in a lorry)
Some scenes are streched a bit to long, but with this cast it's never unintersting.
It's Bette Davis, and that is reason enough to watch it at least once.
Historically interesting, final Feature of Frank Capra and Oscar winning actor Thomas Mitchell.


A variation of Hitchcock's Lifeboat but with more survivors. aka  Seven Waves Away.
A drama about survival and how to deal with it.
The movie gets better as it rolls along on the waves, former pretty boy Tyrone Power shows off his skills since he has to make a few unpleasant descisions along the way. Since the life saving boat only rooms 14 people, and they are 26, some have to be thrown of, and someone had to make the tough decisions.
More or less playing God, in the most unpleasant ways.


The poster advertises 3-D, but I watched the flat vesion.
Tangiers in Africa was once a city under international rule, according to this movie, and if so something I didn't know.
Several persons is awaiting an airplane at Tangiers Airport, it doesn't land there but a bit outside it crashes without crew and passangers. It conatined something many persons are very interested in, that is gone in the wreck, what was it? 
Well I was interested and tagged long, Fontaine and Palance isn't the worst companions.
It entertained during it's running time, and that is sometimes good enough.


There is something haunting and beautiful with this movie, too close to God, or close to another God. The windy feeling is everywhere and some might crack, and they do in different ways. The wind always blows where the nuns are. Is it the clean air or are they too close to heaven that changes their personalities...
Incedibly beautiful movie.
Kathleen Byron as the nun cracking is incredible.


If you read through my long tirades your are worthy of a Doughnut or two, or as we call them in Sweden "monks", because of the hole.

Until next time!

Thanks to all of you for your incredible support, Love you all!
