For Fans of Marlon Brando: "The Ugly American" (1963)

If you told fans of Marlon Brando to summarize his acting career of 6 decades with one word, they would probably say: Stella!

If you told fans of Marlon Brando to summarize his career with one line, it depends on the generation of fans you're asking. 
If you were to ask any Brando fan to name their favorite Brando movies, I seriously doubt that "The Ugly American" would be on anybody's list. Nevertheless, I'm recommending this movie. Why? Because ...

The novel “The Ugly American” was published in 1958 and in 1963, the book was adapted to film by Universal Pictures. Marlon Brando (1924 – 2004) played the part of Ambassador Harrison Carter MacWhite. Many critics gave Brando great reviews for his acting; however other critics did not have praise for either the movie or Brando. If you're a fan, you can watch this movie on YouTube, in English, with Spanish subtitles and decide for yourself.

Vintage Classic Movie vs Modern Remake: “The Manchurian Candidate”

“The Manchurian Candidate” which was released in 1962 and which starred Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, along with Angela Lansbury, is now a vintage classic movie.

♦ Lifting a description from Wikipedia, this movie is a "Cold War neo-noir suspense thriller".

In 2004, "The Manchurian Candidate” was given an extreme make-over. It was updated - from Cold War to Gulf War - and the remake which starred Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep actually had the blessings of Tina Sinatra, daughter of the late Frank Sinatra.

♦ By contrast, the description supplied by Wikipedia for the remake is "science fiction political-thriller film".


The Manchurian Candidate

The movies were film adaptations based on a 1959 novel, written by Richard Condon.

Both films are worth watching. But only one of them is the best!

In my opinion the 1962 version is the best! I love Frank Sinatra.

♦

In Memory Of:
Laurence Harvey (1928 – 1973)
Frank Sinatra (1915–1998)

For Fans of Maureen O'Hara: Flame of Araby (1951)

Maureen O'Hara is one of my favorite actresses. (Born Maureen FitzSimons; 1920 – 2015). She was an Irish actress and singer. I remember her for her flaming red hair. I thought she was gorgeous! I have seen her in so many movies. But I found a movie that I had not seen. She starred in this movie with another one of my favorite male leading actors, Jeff Chandler (born Ira Grossel; 1918 – 1961).

* Flame of Araby (a.k.a. Flame of the Desert), released in 1951. *

Jeff Chandler plays the part of Bedouin chief Tamerlaine and Maureen O'Hara plays the Tunisian Princess Tanya. Of course, you know as soon as they meet sparks fly! They make a charismatic onscreen couple. The Bedouin chief is searching for the legendary black stallion Shahzada. To be the one who catches this prize steed is all he could ever want. All that he could ever want that is … until he met the Princess Tanya.

It's a love story with both a hero and a heroine. A wonderful wholesome family movie. I enjoyed it! 

You can watch this classic film onYouTube.

Classic Movies: The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959) (Reblog)

It's probably the saddest and most heart-breaking movie, with an awesome soundtrack, about a shipwreck. But the Titanic isn't the only movie about a shipwreck. What about the Mary Deare?

I heart classic movies.
  • True stories about shipwrecks or ships lost at sea always tantalize you. You just got to know what happened! However, if you never really quite know all the truth, you can always make something up!
  • The Wreck of the Mary Deare is a classic movie that stars two powerhouse American actors, Gary Cooper (1901 - 1961) and Charlton Heston (1923 - 2008). Based on a novel by Ralph Hammond Innes.

Three (3) Vintage Classic Movies That Created Wonderful Childhood Memories

I was born in the 1950s. That means that I am from the first generation that got to experience television in the home. What a marvelous invention! I know my late mother never intended for the TV set to become her babysitter but my sister, my brothers and I spent hours in front of the television. There were so many wonderful programs to watch that educated and entertained us. I especially loved to watch movies with my big sister. The movies back in my day were memorable and made a lasting impression on my young developing mind. Below are three (3) films from my childhood that created indelible memories.


Heidi (1937) ~ This is a classic children's story written by Swiss author, Johanna Louise Spyri, adapted to film. Famous child star Shirley Temple played Heidi, the little orphan girl who was taken to live with her grandfather. After she and her grandfather had bonded and become close, she is tricked into leaving “the grandfather” and sold to be a servant in a wealthy man's household. If I tell you more and you have not seen the movie, that would spoil everything. So I'll stop right here.


The Wizard of Oz (1939) ~ I loved this movie!! It was a musical but everything about it was magical. The Yellow Brick Road, the Wizard, the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch, Glenda the Good Witch, the ruby red shoes that Dorothy wore, and that song she said that melted everybody's heart: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. Judy Garland was cast as Dorothy. Yes, it was also based on a book. L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's fantasy novel titled “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”.

National Velvet (1944) ~ This is a film about a horse race. Not just any race. England's Grand National Sweepstakes horse race. There is a young girl who has a dream that she can win. It is based on a story by Enid Bagnold. Famous child star Elizabeth Taylor played the role of Velvet Brown. Did she win the race? You'll have to watch the movie.


Do you have any favorite childhood movies?
