The Private Life of Don Juan (Douglas Faribanks, Merle Oberon) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1934)

Primetime June 10 Standup Spotlight I generally don't list documentaries or non-scripted films by name, but I'm going to list the Gilda Radner stand-up because it's as much part of the theme as the scripted films and because I really dug her. There's also a recent doc about Valerie Perrine, one of the stars of Lenny.
Lenny (Dustin Hoffman, Valerie Perrine) (United Artists, 1974)
Gilda Live (Gilda Radner, Don Novello) (Warner Bros., 1980)
Noir Alley
The Verdict Not the Paul Newman movie (Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre) (Warner Bros., 1946)
Late Night Rock Stars Viva Las Vegas airs previously on the first as part of the daytime Showgirls theme (which. alas, does not include the female nudity-heavy movie Showgirls). It joins The Women as the second non-Noir Alley movie to air twice this month.
A Hard Day's Night (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1964)
Viva Las Vegas (Elvis Presley, Ann-Margaret) (MGM, 1964)
Edit: I think the very early morning films on June 11 are probably intended to be part of the rock stars theme as well. Not sure if there are cameos from rock stars - I haven't seen either of them - but they're both kinda '60s counterculture-related, so I'm going to list them here.
The Cool Ones (Roddy McDowall, Debbie Weston) (Warner Bros., 1967)
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! (Peter Sellers, Leigh Taylor-Young) (Warner Bros., 1968)

The repartee between Eugene Pallette and Etienne Girardot is hilarious. I wonder about the Lyle Talbot character. He's a positive character, but I have a question about him.
Kings Row is a great film. Yeah, it could have been even better if they got actors other than Bob Cummings and Ronald Reagan for the leads, but they do a good enough job. And Ann Sheridan is brilliant, as is the supporting cast. Can anyone spot the hints of incest and homosexuality in the film? I think I can. The director -- Sam Wood -- was not one to emphasize such themes, but I think there's no avoiding them. And of course Korngold's brilliant music was "stolen" by John Williams for Star Wars! |
