Apr 3 12 1:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Many thanks for posting the link to this gem, Craig. I, too, am a huge Eddie G. fan but had never heard of this before. And, as always, Eddie does a superlative job. I think a day of Robinson features is coming up on TCM. Check your schedule if you want to watch some incredible acting. I always thought the showcase of Eddie's versatility was his portrayal of the gentle, loving farmer father of Margaret O'Brien in "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes", then just a few years later he was the conniving, sadistic, ultimately cowardly Johnny Rocco in "Key Largo". And of course his Dr. Ehrlich was unforgettable. There was NOTHING that man could not do!

From memory, I LOVED A WOMAN, THE MAN WITH TWO FACES, THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING, THE AMAZING DR. CLITTERHOUSE, BIG LEAGUER. I might be missing one or two, but aside from BIG LEAGUER, which I've not seen yet, those are all really heavy hitters. And Saturday afternoon, TCM will also be airing LARCENY, INC. For an Eddie G fan like myself, these are all must-see.

I finally got to see it yesterday and here's my review. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way. Porfle's Secret Blog HK and Cult Film News Andersonvision.com

Apr 23 12 10:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Love The Red House! I first watched it about 20 years ago after reading how good the music was. It was, and so was the story! Excellent acting and cinematography with tons of atmosphere. Now, can I add just the smallest, tiniest quibble? (SPOILER--SPOILER) I've always wished Robinson's watery death scene would've included showing the water go over his eyes, AND he would've kept his eyes open the entire time. The shot cuts away just a few moments too soon, imho. Your mileage may vary. SPOILER OFF The Red House is a great movie!

Apr 24 12 3:37 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks, Batman and bela! About the commentary, I neglected to mention that it pretty much consists of the guy just telling us what's happening onscreen the whole time. But he's very enthusiastic about it.

May 7 12 11:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anudder library loaner, and we've got it, 'natch. Only recently did we discover Robinson ( !!! ) after knowing about sooo many of his films for years. He's not the reason I wanna see this, just knowing it's that good is enough. Plus he IS in it. "Lord I love Spring! The birds, the fair weather, the new flowers. It doesn't get any better than this. HOLY CRAP! what's THAT?!?"

Jun 28 12 12:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Was just watching the new DVD from the BluRay set,on loan from ClassicFlix- beautiful. (I'm not equipped for BluRays yet but the cleaned up DVD beats the heck out of my Internet Archive copy). Anyway, can anyone pinpoint any of the beautiful locations in the movie? Looked it up in IMDB and it says "California, USA". Duh! A little more specific, please? I figured that much out myself. There is a thread that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started it not knowing that a tree can walk, And they'll keep posting forever about a movie they can mock...

Jul 3 12 6:10 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Robinson Update: Saw "The Red House" back in May, and it's great fun. Great mystery, great score, great acting. Didn't recognize Julie London, the nurse from "Emergency!" Well, how could I? It's been, what, 40 years? Robinson is great as the conflicted and mysterious Pete Morgan. The plot is not convoluted at all, and as the action continues, the more we learn, the more ... well, that'd be telling, wouldn't it? The crap VHS copy we borrowed added to the atmosphere of the film, as such cases usually do with films as this, and to read it's been BluRay'd is fantastic news indeed. "Lord I love Spring!

Jul 6 12 11:00 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Let's face it, gang! The fun never ends with EGR. The guy was just an incredible talent. If you get the chance, catch "The Widow from Chicago", which aired not too long ago on TCM and is certain to be re-broadcast. Robinson's Dominic is an effective precursor to Rico. Not a bad little crime flick. "The Whole Town's Talking" is a gem with Eddie so believably playing two totally different types of character. And "The Last Gangster" where Eddie goes from hateful lout to arousing your sympathies in the final moments of the film and, as always, pulls it off beautifully. "Two Seconds". Man, that's one bizarre movie.
