Here’s a smoking hot duet with Ann-Margret and Tina Turner doing a medley of songs from a 1975 television special called ‘Ann-Margret Olsson’. The show was filmed in London while both promoted the movie ‘Tommy’. There’s a little intro which shows us the two women hanging out as friends dressed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKzj0o9YZ7g ‘Booby Dupes’ (1945) is the 84th two-reel short subject made by The Three Stooges for Columbia Pictures. It was photographed from Wednesday, September 27 though Saturday, September 30, 1944 and released on Saturday, March 17, 1945. The film rests firmly in the bottom rung of the Curly shorts, with
A few days ago I posted a terrific clip of Jerry Lewis dancing to ‘Rock-Rock-Rock-A Bye Baby’ and doing an intentionally bad job of it. The brilliance of the routine is that Lewis is, in fact, an excellent dancer and keeps giving you hints of his actual dexterity and skill
I’ve long harbored the desire to travel back in time to visit certain specific movie sets, ones which were storied and special for various reasons.. ‘To Have and Have Not’ (the meeting of Bogie and Bacall), ‘The General’ (dumping that train into the drink), ‘Citizen Kane’ (enough said), ‘Casablanca’ (the
Here’s Mel Brooks, age 91, on an English chat show telling the story of showing Alfred Hitchcock the finished version of ‘High Anxiety’. I love Mel’s reaction to dopey Russell Brand–his face clearly reads: ‘who is this prick and what am I doing sharing a show with him?’
My longtime love/hate affair with Jerry Lewis has entered a new phase; the one in which I’m discovering talents of his that were–ready for this?–subtle and skillful. These are not words often associated with Joey Levitch but check out his dancing in the above clip from ‘Rock-A-Bye Baby’, a 1958
‘Squareheads of The Round Table’ was the 106th short comedy made by The Three Stooges for Columbia Pictures. It was photographed from Monday, December 9th through Thursday, December 12, 1946 and released on Thursday, March 4, 1948, fifteen months after its making. The reasons for this are buried (one might
Yesterday I posted a late 1960s Volkswagen TV ad featuring a young (and very funny) Dustin Hoffman. Apparently, fifteen or so years later, Hoffman remembered the ease with which he’d picked up a few shekels by pimping himself out for a car he would never drive and put the word
The VW Fastback Sedan–a car you simply never see on the road anymore–received a big boost when newly famous star of ‘The Graduate’ Dustin Hoffman became the car’s key pitchman. Hoffman is still so close to his ‘Graduate’ persona that watching the commercial makes it seem like Benjamin Braddock found
W.C. Fields last home in Los Angeles was in a Hollywood neighborhood called Laughlin Park. The neighborhood is close to the hills of Los Feliz and gated for privacy. The house was for sale last year and a rather nice video was made showing the joint off. The house was
