Forrest J. Ackerman said that the portrayal of Bela Lugosi was false. He wasn't the sort to call Boris Karloff a "c*cksucker" or to exhibit jealousy towards him.
No, but that’s why we had “firewatch” every night. Not much danger of fire, greater danger of AWOL or suicide attempt.
PI really messes with your mind. If you’ve read Dante’s Inferno, sometimes you think you are one of the characters therein.
"Hey Kingfish, if these dollars were supposedly buried by Ponce De Leon, how come they've got Andrew Jackson's picture on them?"
"Trick photography, Andy. What else do you wanna know?"
>> And how do you define: ‘right ... up ... there ...’ ?
On top of a steaming pile of bullstalin...
Yes there was LZ Columbus. I know a guy that was in the 2nd Battalion 5th Cav. that marched to Columbus. He was also involved in the rescue of the lost platoon.prior to that.
No one admitted to ordering the dividing of the troops and the march out instead of withdrawing everyone by helicopter.
LOL scene from the movie... when the B-17 formation does a go around as they can't see the target, and the want to hit the munitions plant and not the school next door. (Like carpet bombing will take care of that.)
Good grief!
What about ZULU DAWN.
And in America, SON OF MORNING STAR.
Johnson (Liver Eating Johnson) as he was known, years later admitted he never ate an Indian’s liver. He cut out the liver and passed it in front of his mouth, giving other Indians watching that he had taken a bite of it.
This part is completely left out of the movie.
Be interesting to compare it with HOUR OF THE GUN (1968).
You’ve probably seen “The Light Horsemen”. One of the few movies that really conveyed how fast a charge can be.
Yes, I’d heard that. Thanks for bringing that out.
***...one will see the rear rank armed with .303 bolt action Enfields instead of the Martini-Henry .451.***
In the Russian movie, WAR AND PEACE(1967), if you look close during the battle of Borodino you will see troops in the back ground using bolt action Mosin-Nagant rifles.
In one scene of the battle you see a Russian soldier running toward the right of the screen, the rifle carried in his left hand but the bolt is clearly showing it to be a bolt action rifle.
2012
Because when hasn’t the fate of humanity hinged upon the acting ability of John Cusack?
I hope “Patton” made the list.

Lies by omission are lies too.
There was a lot of violence (by Leftists) that was excluded from that film (there are references to the capitalist food vendor's hot dog stand being burned down by arsonists but no footage of it, the famous leftists who tried to steal (by threat of force) the film crew's rented equipment, the Black Panthers and Yippees blackmailing of the promoters for $25,000 to not disrupt the event (as well as free booth space at the event) was violated when Abbie Hoffman interrupted the Who's concert to lecture and agitate), etc. etc.).
Which version? There were 3 adaptations.
I’ve only seen the one with Bogart. I’ve read the book four or five times. I’ve read all of Hammett’s novels more than three times.
