George Slv 28th Sep 2015		Cinema Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958)	Based on a Tennessee Williams play. As a young guy Elizabeth Taylor was my favorite female actress. MGM was only making one movie with her yearly, to maintain her value. So I want to start getting to know her better, I sees the TV ad where she drops her slip down her legs, which were nice, and I goes to the movie. Lesson learned: flush Tennessee Williams, and MGM didn't appreciate her female appeal enuf. That leg shot was the only sexy bit in the whole movie. Here's her husband telling her not to get sexually involved with him. Williams' homo tendencies. MGM constantly using homosexual lead actors for Liz's movies too. Go see Cleopatra.
George Slv 28th Sep 2015		Cinema The Rose Tattoo (1955)	Based on a Tennessee Williams play.
George Slv 24th Sep 2015		DVD The Court Jester - Paramount	I bought this in Canada in 2007 for $6. Now with stock almost run out it's selling for ~$100 on Amazon.ca.
George Slv 21st Sep 2015		TV Summertime U.S.A. (1953)	Image from Teresa Brewer Center (under Celebrity Photo Collection).
George Slv 19th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - 20 All Time Greats	Robot Man was an unreleased recording. This is not a definitive collection, it misses things like Warm This Winter, Second Hand Love, and even Follow the Boys. I wondered if Connie chose the contents herself. Mama is for the females.
George Slv 18th Sep 2015		Classical Item Orchestre De Chambre "Pro Arte" De Munich - Autour Du Celebre Canon De Pachelbel	This Pachelbel Canon is not the same recording as on Airs Et Adagios Baroques. See the back cover for better information on the pieces.
George Slv 16th Sep 2015		Classical Item Orchestre "Pro Arte" De Munich, Kurt Redel - Airs Et Adagios Baroques	Review This is THE album for such pieces. Couldn't be recorded better. I heard it on Canadian radio in the 1970s, and don't know if there was an English release. (These instruments are playing in French.) Part of the Plaisir du Classique series. It's Johann Sebastian Bach in English. 10 is the so-called Air On The G String. It's from his Orchestral Suite #3 in D, movement 2. 3 is Winter from the Four Seasons. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 8th Sep 2015		Cinema Huckleberry Finn (1931)	It can be seen at Internet Archive. It would be public domain in most if not all countries.
George Slv 8th Sep 2015		Cinema Tom Sawyer (1930)	It can be seen now at Internet Archive. From Canada TV, it should be legal.
George Slv 8th Sep 2015		TV Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall (1948 - 1955)	An early 15 minute version of the show, prior to the one hour starting in 1955. Episodes labelled Public Domain can be found at Loving The Classics. I don't know if they include any 1-hour shows. I'd be interested if they did.
George Slv 6th Sep 2015		Cinema The Court Jester (1956)	Rated 10/10 Danny Kaye plays a junior member of Robin Hood's merry band. Glynis John is an eyeful as his female sidekick. He gets the assignment to infiltrate the king's palace as a court jester, from where he can help restore the throne to the rightful heir, who happens to still be a baby. This is one of the funniest films in history. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 6th Sep 2015		Cinema Ten Seconds To Hell (1959)	Filmed in England by Hammer Studio for the American producers.
George Slv 6th Sep 2015		Cinema The Flame And The Arrow (1950)	My title shot is from the preview. Check if it's different in the film. [YouTube Video] YT from Movieclips Trailer Vault. It's not a classic, I thought it was routine.
George Slv 5th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Bill Justis And His Orchestra - Cloud 9	This contains the genuine original masters, as opposed to the 1969 "Raunchy" LP compilation which is unreliable. See description at boija.com. Then read his biography at rocky-52.net. It says the guitar had "a cavernous, resonant sound further buffered by studio echo". I have a problem with that. Too many of the Raunchy copies we hear have just a thin guitar sound. Maybe reissued from an unmastered tape. It must be thinking of what Duane Eddy did.
George Slv 3rd Sep 2015		TV Perry Como Show (1955 - 1963)	This is another series that can be purchased at Retro Video by video professionals. See the list of stars involved, including Brenda Lee, Teresa Brewer, Everly Brothers. You can research the episodes at tv.com. This is one more example of where I need someone with professional pull to get some. I can pay for these. I'm looking for Teresa Brewer. Has anyone seen the collector DVD sets?
George Slv 2nd Sep 2015		12" Single Teresa Brewer - Music, Music, Music (Disco Version)	I have one extra copy of this.
George Slv 1st Sep 2015		TV Saturday Night Wrestling	The reference I read about it being filmed in Buffalo may be correct. If it ended in 1959 so be it.
George Slv 1st Sep 2015		TV Saturday Night Wrestling	Probably produced in Toronto. Canadian wrestling stars like Whipper Billy Watson, Gene Kiniski, Hard-Boiled Haggerty. There were also midgets, and native Indian wrestlers like Little Beaver. In fact I got to know him while living in Toronto in 1982.
George Slv 30th Aug 2015		Cinema Rio Conchos (1964)	Youtube preview (yeah yeah - "trailer") [YouTube Video] from Shout! Factory. It's not top quality, and the shape is wrong.
George Slv 29th Aug 2015		Cinema Rio Conchos (1964)	Richard Boone and his American team search for the source of the gun selling to Indians around Texas / Mexico. At one point a band of Mexican bandits tries to rob their group. This is one intense exciting western. Also starred Jim Brown, the black football running back star of the day.
George Slv 29th Aug 2015		TV Summertime U.S.A. (1953)	Notes from JaneFromanShow_USACanteen: "Summer Time U.S.A." premieres with Teresa Brewer, Mel Torme and The Honeydreamers. It aired Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:45-8:00 PM after the network news. spotlight_torme: Mel Torme returned to prime-time TV in the summer of 1953 as co-host of another music series, Summertime U.S.A., with Teresa Brewer.
George Slv 29th Aug 2015		TV Summertime U.S.A. (1953)	Review From Teresa Brewer Center: Teresa Brewer and Mel Torme cohosted the show, and were seen in different resort settings on the twice-weekly live telecasts which aired each Tuesday and Thursday during the summer of 1953. The scenic backgrounds ranged from Manhattan, Atlantic City and Niagara Falls in the USA, to Scotland, Rio de Janeiro, Havana and the Casbah overseas. Teresa wrote: "When Mel Torme and I had a TV series in the 1950s, we usually sang one song together per show, which was nice." 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 29th Aug 2015		TV The Jimmy Dean Show (1963 - 1966)	Added second title image, from a Youtube video of this specific series, so it's more likely correct. 23skidoo, did you mean to say the 1st one "looks more like something from the 50s THAN the mid-60s"?
George Slv 28th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Shadows - Shadows '67	There was a 1980s UK reissue compilation named Jigsaw that corresponded. These Canadian issues were not common, and draw high prices used. I struck paydirt in a budget dept store and found this plus Out Of The Shadows in a bargain bin at the time.
George Slv 28th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Shadows - Dance On	Apache was excluded. I recall B6, B4, B1 charted in Canada. An exotic fascinating guitar sound. Dance On became a vocal "In the Middle Of a Dream" by Jimmy James.
George Slv 25th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Arthur Smith - Original Guitar Boogie	But the original Guitar Boogie was not done with that kind of guitar. Acoustic I think.
George Slv 23rd Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - Pat Boone Sings Guess Who?	Pat is not serious here, he is making fun. I saw the cover in the 1960s with a subtitle "100,000,000 Fans Can't Be Wrong". Can't find that right now.
George Slv 21st Aug 2015		CD Album Pat Boone - At His Best:	There's confusion over Love Letters In The Sand because he rerecorded it in 1959 for the stereo edition of Great Hits. Here is an archive copy from this release, made in 1974.
George Slv 19th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - Pat's Great Hits	The sessionography says all 12 songs were rerecorded. Meanwhile the Goldmine editors had reason to say not all songs were stereo. Rerecording hits is a terrible thing.
George Slv 18th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - Pat's Great Hits	So which of the songs were not rerecorded in ST? Where are these sessionographies?
