George Slv 6th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Guess Who - American Woman	Check this audio sample. I don't have When Friends Fall Out on any vinyl, but it's the album version. A rerecording of the 1968 single.
George Slv 5th Feb 2016		78 RPM Al Jolson - Avalon / Anniversary Song	Dis guy can't sing. Anniversary Song based on Danube Waves of 1880. Composed by Ion Ivanovici of Romania. Shall we say a Gypsy song, adopted by Jews.
George Slv 5th Feb 2016		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - Copenhagen / Music! Music! Music!	Here's a nice new YT recording made directly from a 78, by lrh1966 [YouTube Video] You can notice a fuller tone. He cut the fade a bit because of a scratch.
George Slv 2nd Feb 2016		TV Thieves (2001)	Melissa George was the new babe on TV and we couldn't get enough of her. The series had enuf silly imperfections however that it did not last. They started filming in widescreen HD that season. First episode intro: [YouTube Video]
George Slv 1st Feb 2016		TV P.S.I. Luv U (1991 - 1992)	Review Fans of Connie or Greg Evigan appreciated seeing this. A typically slick detective series with a humorous element because the Connie and Greg characters dislike each other. It just wasn't interesting enuf and was cancelled. Connie showed a lot of legs in this one with a miniskirt. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 1st Feb 2016		Cinema When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth (1970)	Rated 8/10 Hammer Films' followup to One Million Years BC. More clay animation dinosaurs, very well done by American Jim Danforth. This one really comes thru as a good movie as well as a dinosaur pic. Worth noting that Danforth's animation was superior to Ray Harryhausen's because the motion was perfectly smooth. But Hammer found the process expensive and did not do more with him. In the uncut edition Victoria Vetri appears fully nude in the swimming pond scene. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 1st Feb 2016		TV Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1996 - 1997)	I think it's all the same 23skidoo.
George Slv 26th Jan 2016		Cinema Une Parisienne (La Parisienne) (1957)	If the English version is available, without subtitles, I'd like to find a good copy. Mine is a low quality VHS.
George Slv 24th Jan 2016		Cinema Ice Castles (1978)	A noble story about a figure skater, Lynn-Holly Johnson, who goes blind but still learns to keep skating and wins. Seems far-fetched, oh well. And they managed to degrade it considerably by using crass language and other unaesthetic elements. But I can't resist Lynn-Holly. Remade in 2010.
George Slv 24th Jan 2016		Book Jack K. Paquette - Small Town Girl	What caught my attention was Teresa Brewer's story. The author was from East Toledo same as her and knew her background. I'm posting an excerpt about how she started with the Bowes Amateur radio show. I'm looking for clearer information. She started at age 5, apparently winning a local audition contest. This would have qualified her to appear on the national radio show in New York. She did not appear there until age 7 in late 1948. Was she travelling cross-country with a show between those years?
George Slv 23rd Jan 2016		TV Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1996 - 1997)	This was enjoyable, interesting and entertaining, with good stories. People wonder why it was cancelled. 13 shows were made, a typical half-season. Maria Bello was bella alright, and was able to move on to bigger things.
George Slv 23rd Jan 2016		Cinema Cash On Demand (1961)	Review A stagey drama set inside a bank. Produced by Michael Carreras, who tried to counterbalance Hammer's other horror movies. Peter Cushing is the bank manager who is held hostage by bank robber Andre Morrell in an elaborate plot. The story adds an element of Scrooge learning a lesson at the Christmas season. You see, Cushing always demanded that the pens be filled with ink and other fussy nonsense, and was not considered charitable by his staff. It's okay, but not special. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 23rd Jan 2016		Cinema Hell Is A City (1960)	Preview from YT Hammer channel [YouTube Video] A Hammer Film that emulated the American style of exciting crime film noir, set in Manchester.
George Slv 23rd Jan 2016		Cinema The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse	Posted movie poster showing those f-f-fea-fea-fearsome horsemen flying toward us thru the sky, to haunt this terrifying awesome [NOT] non-movie.
George Slv 22nd Jan 2016		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - The Thing / Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest	Here is the first documentation I have found of a chart position for her, in UK. Also added Billboard review.
George Slv 22nd Jan 2016		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - The Thing / I Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest	Here is the first documentation I have found of a chart position for this record of hers. worldcharts.co.uk Other necessary information: Looking at the CD release I see the UK release dropped one of the verses and was shorter. Anyone have explanations? The full version is on Youtube. That webpage also lists her as having The Telephone Song by teresa brewer, but that is clearly an error.
George Slv 22nd Jan 2016		78 RPM Etienne Paree - Music! Music! Music! / Pagan Love Song	Posted Billboard comment about the record from Dec 31 '49. Infectious but not entirely successful. Actually the song originated in the 1930s, but Paree's was the first in 1949.
George Slv 20th Jan 2016		TV A Whole Scene Going (1966)	Could this be a video from this show? Any info?[YouTube Video]
George Slv 18th Jan 2016		78 RPM Etienne Paree - Music! Music! Music! / Pagan Love Song	Etienne Paree first of 3 versions on YT [YouTube Video] from GeoSilverAway. This is the version that was mocked by Gene Rayburn in New York before the song caught on. The third in the set is Teresa's 1974 RCA recording.
George Slv 16th Jan 2016		Book Adam Nedeff - The Matchless Gene Rayburn	He says that there were 20 labels that put out recordings of Music, Music, Music at the time, even before Teresa's. That would make a good subject for research, forum, list etc. The first issued recording of it was by Etienne Paree, a speak-sing style with a French accent, which was viewed poorly.
George Slv 11th Jan 2016		TV Snader Telescriptions (1950 - 1952)	Video on the history of the project [YouTube Video]
George Slv 11th Jan 2016		DVD TV's First Music Videos The Snader Telescriptions - Storyville Films	US release was 2002. And it seems that the VHS tape was produced in 1988.
George Slv 11th Jan 2016		TV Snader Telescriptions (1950 - 1952)	Review I gave the dates of production. They would have been shown on TV past 1951. The venture collapsed and the films were sold at a steal to one TV station around Ohio. But they had managed to create a historic library of the great performers of the day. They are now managed by Historic Films in New York. Not to be confused with Soundies, which were made for theaters. These Snaders have been packaged in various forms. There was a video volume devoted entirely to Nat King Cole. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 11th Jan 2016		LaserDisc Swing: The Best Of The Big Bands - Volume 2	Related VHS.
George Slv 10th Jan 2016		Music Memorabilia Teresa Brewer - Card Promo For Album Singin' A Doo Dah Song, 1972	See album here.
George Slv 9th Jan 2016		Cinema Inherit The Wind (1960)	I happened to see this as a surprise "Sneak Preview" when seeing some other movie. Meaning the entire movie was shown to this audience. Made me wonder what the purpose of that was. No one was taking surveys in the lobby or anything. As a 14 year old what the hell did I care about a film like this, buncha dialog drama. Plus it's from an anti-God philosophy. Made no impression on me.
George Slv 8th Jan 2016		Cinema Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)	It rates negative only if one doesn't like this 70s culture. Otherwise it's a great film. I'd like to know how it did financially.
George Slv 6th Jan 2016		Cinema King Of Kings (1961)	Rated 10/10 This film was done as well as can be, I think. Similar followups later in the 1960s like The Greatest Story Ever Told and The Bible were incapable of measuring up. No flaws in this one. A fine story flow, effective and moving scenes. The baptism of Jesus by John The Baptist, who looks into the gorgeous eyes of Jeffrey Hunter and feels something, while the camera shows doves flying in the air. Another fine crucifixion scene, tho not as heartrending as in The Robe. The sermon on the mount. Ben Hur is another movie that deals well with this subject. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 6th Jan 2016		Cinema The Robe (1953)	Rated 10/10 I'd like to give it more than 10. This was the first widescreen Cinemascope movie. A drama about a Roman officer's (Richard Burton) interaction with Christ's crucifixion. The story is very poignant and compelling. Victor Mature is awesome as Burton's slave, who becomes converted after watching Christ die. What a scene. One of the greats of that era, and maybe the best movie of all time. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 6th Jan 2016		Cinema Demetrius And The Gladiators (1954)	Rated 8/10 Good entertainment. I saw it in a double bill ~1960 with The Robe, which was the first part of the story. The Robe was really great drama, while this went more into gladiator adventure. Must have been one of the main inspirations for the 2000 Gladiator, which turned out more of a downer than adventure. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
