Kim Novak is a legend. Bell, Book and Candle is a gem!!
She's really underappreciated.
@@terrytalksmovies I love that movie even more because I see it as the launchpad for Bewitched. But just in itself she's wonderful; and the beatnik scenes are hilarious.
@@zorglubmagnus455 Ernie Kovacs was just the best along with Elsa and Hermione too. Great jazzy soundtrack by George Duning.
I have to watch that, have been meaning to. For me it is interesting coming off of VERTIGO, and working with JAMES STEWART again.
@@zorglubmagnus455 Ned from Spain here. Have you ever seen " I Married A Witch" 1942, dir. Rene Clair, w Veronica Lake and Fred March ? It's totally proto Bewitched too.
“Sands of the Kalahari” (1965) starring Stuart Whitman, Stanley Baker and Susannah York is a terrific movie. I first saw it as a kid and the fight scene at the end for supremacy over the baboons always stuck with me. I got the DVD in 2011 and the movie still holds up well. Stanley Baker was a great actor and producer (both roles in this film) who unfortunately died way too young at 48. He was also lead actor and producer of Zulu (1964) which is an outstanding movie.
He's great in Innocent Bystanders, too.
@@terrytalksmovies I haven’t seen that one but two other Stanley Baker movies I recall are “The Guns of Navarone” (1961) which is a great WWII fictitious action movie and “A Prize of Arms” (1962) which is a great robbery flick.
John Farrow also directed one of my favourite 30s movies Five Came Back. A dark adventure about survivors of a plane crash trying to escape a tribe of South American headhunters. Very pulpy melodrama with great dialogue penned by Dalton Trumbull, Nathanael West and Jerry Cady.
I'll check it out.
Of my favourite films set in Africa, Sands of the Kalahari, The Naked Prey and Sammy Going South are up there.
I had a crush on Kim Novak back in the 1960s. Pal Joey is one of my favourite musicals. Loved Kim in Picnic and Vertigo. You hit the nail on the head. She portrayed a sensuality with vulnerability which was irresistible.
I really like her in Bell, Book and Candle.
I Have Bell, Book And Candle!! Kim Is Marvelous In It!!
She is!
Fun fact, Commandos Strike At Dawn, was filmed in my neck of Canada, Victoria on Vancouver Island. I guess the location was chosen as a substitute for the Norway fjords. My mother as a kid remembered the local papers covering the story. At the time it must have seemed exotic and a big deal to have a Hollywood film crew in town. I recognize several of the locations in the movie including a historical Victoria church. It is also a pretty good movie.🎥🙃
I look forward to it.
When I was in the army in the 70s, those comic books that were like those films we called training manuals.
LOL
Region free. Love it! "Sands of the Kalahari" is a vastly underrated film that more people should watch! I've never seen "The Lost Command" (I almost bought the DVD years ago), but I will eventually get it since Anthony Quinn, in my book, can do no wrong!
These box sets really hit and finding out they're region-free always is great for film buffs.
"Sands of the Kalahari" is one movie I have never seen... but always wanted to. I will have to check it out.
It's really good. The locations are brutal and really effective.
Another top video Terry I love what Imprint are doing Especially the Tales of Adventure sets they look amazing but they are a bit pricy for me in the UK I managed to pick up the Imprint Hammer set and I was glad I got that one it was well worth the price. Thanks again for the video.
My pleasure, Shane. Yep, they're a bit pricey but you did the right thing by cherry picking the ones you really wanted. I love Imprint's selections. Not all of them are to my taste but there are inevitably some deep cuts that really interest me.
Hi Terry. You scored some great sets. Please review Botany Bay for us Aussies 🇦🇺 filmed in California, should be a blast. Old school Hollywood magic 😜 led by little Laddie.. good stuff.
I'll be looking at it over the next week. I'll add a review to the next livestream.
Lost Command is among the movies in the set I've seen. It starts out in Vietnam and ends in Algeria.
I love a good Burt Lancaster adventure flick.
I'm a Big Clock fan and wouldn't mind seeing more Farrow. I also check Heroes of Telemark from time to time for fun. (So what is Stuart Whitman's BEST role?) Looking forward to your reports.
The Farrow box set is great. So much depth and breadth. Stuart Whitman's best role was in The Mark. He got an Oscar nom for the role.
The Heroes Of Telemark is the only one I've seen for sure. I think I did see Sands of the Kalahari in the distant past, but I don't recall it, especially no surprising ending!
You need to see Sands. Truly epic.
I absolutely love The Night Has A Thousand Eyes. I'm commenting a month after you posted this video but no spoilers. The film is like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone or like a Greek tragedy with EGR in top form. I love The Big Clock too and Kim Novak is a goddess...nuf said.
Kim Novak in Vertigo was such an essay in tragic vulnerability.
John Farrow is one of my under-watched directors. Only seen Hondo starring Michael Pate, and I've been looking around for The Big Clock for some time. He directed lots of well know stars in their day. Also, Bell Books and Candle is a fascinating and playful James Stewart/Kim Novak movie I saw recently but I'll have to try a few more of her movies. Great work!
Thanks, Ian. The box sets this month are incredibly great. I watched The Hitler Gang last night and it's unlike any Hollywood propaganda film I can remember seeing.
The Big Clock is available in Region B from Arrow video. It's GBP18.
"Sands of the Kalahari" is very good!
Yeah, you'll remember the end long after forgetting the rest of it. I remember TV; haven't watched it for years. Wonder if it'll ever matter again?
Agreed!
It holds up well!
"Bell, Book and Candle" has been one of my favorite films for a long, long time, though I absolutely agree with you about the ending being something of a letdown. Besides the fact that Kim Novak makes the sexiest witch ever, I love some of the little touches, like her Siamese cat familiar's name "Pyewackett" referencing an actual witch trial. If I recall correctly, the clandestine sub-culture of witches and warlocks was inspired by the author of the original play's experience as a gay man.
"Sands of the Kalahari" is another awesome pick. I've only seen it a couple of times, and that on relatively small tvs (at least of the color variety, thankfully) in the pre-flatscreen days, but what a hell of a story! Definitely one of Whitman's best roles.
The whole Tales of Adventure box sets are terrific fun to watch or rewatch.
I SEE those sexy Christopher Lee Eurocrypt box sets. Picked those up a few weeks ago. I also got the Peter Cushing Curiosities set.
11:27 Bell, Book and Candle is such a cute movie.
I believe your audience would love a slow-pan video of your many shelves. Very curious about some of those box sets. :)
I'll do a room view in a future video.
You're gonna break my bank Terry! 🤣 These look awesome. Going to start with the John Farrow set
Good choice!
Only one of those I've seen is The Heroes of Telemark which is a solid behind the lines, men on a mission WW2 film. True story, the destruction of Hitler's A-bomb experiments. Only John Farrow film I've seen is The Big Clock which you covered recently. I see you have a Tati box set over your right shoulder.
Yep. The Tati box set is a great one, too.
You kind of missed the obvious Jeff Chandler Credit for our set--he was the original Captain of the ENTERPRISE on STAR TREK!
Nope. That was Jeffrey Hunter.
@@terrytalksmovies - you're right!
Uhhhh.... 😬
Excellent video Terry, I’ve got the John Farrow box set coming from Imprint films to review as well (I’m from the UK so it will be a few days before the set arrives) there’s some very interesting titles in it. Nice one mate, very informative as always, take care👍😃👍
You too @kermitsghost. The boxset really hits. You'll enjoy it.
Wow, the cast really resembles the real subjects in the publicity photo for "The Hitler Gang."
It's astonishing, that one. Also, there are some squib shots with blood when people are plugged by the Nazis and some borderline gore effects... in a 1944 movie!
Quite a haul and a cute hat. I’m hoping that you review some of the films you haven’t seen yet.
I'll cover a couple of them in Monday's livestream. Thanks for mentioning the hat. You're the first person to do so. 😀😉☕
Hey again Terry, I forgot to ask if you've ever seen "Five Came Back" 1939 ? I haven't seen it yet but plan on it. Thanx for the video and keep well.
Yes I have. It's a great doco which gives a greater understanding of the directors' post-war careers. Recommended.
I'm a big fan of Stuart Whitman. He always seemed to effortlessly slide into his characters which seems to be a hallmark of the very best actors. You said Sands was Whitman's second best role. Which do you think was his best? I'm guessing it's not Night of the Lepus.
The Mark 1965.
I'm going to have to invest in that John Farrow set. Haven't seen Night Has a Thousand Eyes, but I have read the book it's based on by Cornell Woolrich, which is phenomenal. I'll be interested in your thoughts on Jeanne Eagels, which was based on the life of a 1920s actress of that name (one of early Hollywood's less fortunate drug addicts), and which the family sued the studio over cos it seems to have been very fictionalised.
The Hitler Gang is superb. I watched it last night. That Farrow set has some incredible deep cuts.
"It's about an a$$hole, played by Frank Sinatra". That's redundant....
Not untrue. 😀
@@terrytalksmovies I still hold a grudge from Young at Heart : ) Nobody hurts Doris Day.
I've seen The Hitler Gang a couple of times, but decades ago. It brings up Hitler's apparent obsession with his young niece and suggests he murdered her.
Yep. It's very full-on for a 1940s movie with blood squibs and some gore.
Always wondered what if Frank Sinatra did accept the role as Dirty Harry, what it would be like? Likely similar to Bronson in Death Wish. Sinatra was an SOB to many, he was a great entertainer to his audience when he stuck to singing.
Sinatra was too leftie to do Dirty Harry, an explicitly RWNJ character. Same with Paul Kersey in Death Wish: a macho psycho with no understanding of the complexities of criminal behaviour.
@@terrytalksmovies As obnoxious as Frankie could be he did all right in The Detective The film was a bit backwards about Gay people but right on about high level corruption and real estate especially in NYC which has only gotten worse.
🎞📽💎💎
😉🙂👺👹
I like IMPRINT more than Criterion.
I think they both do great work, as does Umbrella and a number of other companies. I see them as complementary rather than competitors.
Terry sands of kalahari is great! read the book
I have. 😉🙂
@@terrytalksmovies The film and in particular the book reminds me of modern commentary on human nature. Where can I get a a good copy of film?
