David Morrill	Tashlin's best?	#7281	[-]

Pretty funny satire of television that holds up well today. Tashlin gets in his cartoony visual gags, but they aren't too distracting. A cast to die for, including Henry Jones and John Williams. I still can't believe that one of Joan Blondell's lines got past the censors in 1957.... "I had a boyfriend once. He was a milkman. I used to get a lump at the back of my throat when I knew he was coming. But it didn't last -- I guess he found a girl who liked his brand of cream more than me."

Am about halfway through the 45-episode run and still find it amusing -- not as amusing as when I first discovered it in high school, but enjoyable nonetheless. At my age now, I get all the arcane references. What I find truly brilliant this time around are Terry Gilliam's animations. What a talent!

The colorisation looked fantastic, I personally would love to see all the titles fully colorised (which I doubt will ever happen).

Posts: 1300 (08/21/09 12:08 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Over a couple weeks I re-visited all the German "Doctor Mabuse" movies, from the silent two-parter, right through THE DEATH RAY MIRROR OF DR.MABUSE. The films range from great to just fun, but all quite enjoyable. I even popped in a GREEN HORNET television show two-parter titled "Invasion From Outer Space" where the featured villain was named...Doctor Mabuse. Clearly whoever wrote the episodes must have had the good doctor on their mind...or IN their mind. And last night I finally saw the old Monkees movie HEAD, produced by Jack Nicholson with cameos by Jack, Dennis Hopper, Annette Funicello, Frank Zappa and Victor Mature. Among the barrage of images the filmmakers throw at us are clips from THE BLACK CAT (1934) and Bela's line "Supernatural perhaps...baloney, perhaps not."

It's about three old sea captains; David Carradine, Bruce Dern and Rip Torn, retired and living together in 1905 Cape Cod who advertise for a wife and end up with Mariel Hemingway. Charles Durning is also in it and looked like he wasn't going to make it through. His character doesn't and I don't think it took much acting to portray that. The film moves kind of slow, but that's OK, the old farts looked like they had fun making it and having spent a goodly portion of my life in Chatham visiting my father, it was certainly wonderful seeing it.
