Film Albums: Doctor Dolittle ( 1967 ) - The Mike Sammes Singers

Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Jul 30, 2022

When Doctor Dolittle was released in 1967, 20th Century Fox studios thought it would have received a much better box-office reception than it did. In fact, they were not the only ones who thought so. The music was so beautiful that The Lawrence Welk Show featured an episode that included many of the read more

On Blu-ray: Hepburn and Tracy Team up in Without Love (1945) and Pat and Mike (1952)

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 7, 2020

 The nine films Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy made together may vary in quality, but it is always fascinating to watch these two together. I was reminded of that as I recently watched two of their collaborations on new Blu-rays from Warner Archive.  Without Love (1945) and& read more

Magic Mike XXL (2015, Gregory Jacobs)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 30, 2018

All of the characters have the same arc, with the exception of “lead” Channing Tatum. He’s only the lead read more

Jane Wyman falls for... Three Guys Named Mike (1951)

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Sep 19, 2016

Many years ago, I was a classic film novice. It feels like a lifetime ago that I didn't know who Cary Grant was or what Citizen Kane was about, yet I can still clearly remember the small steps I took that led to my passion for old movies. One such step was Three Guys Named Mike. My oldest sister had read more

Secrets & Lies (1996, Mike Leigh)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 5, 2016

From the opening credits, Andrew Dickson’s score sets the tone for Secrets & Lies. It’s going to be severe. I don’t think there’s a light moment in the score–any of the film’s lighter moments, usually involving Timothy Spall’s ability to make people smi read more

Classic Television Thursday #025 – Rod Serling On The Mike Wallace Interview (1959) (1964)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 5, 2015

Something different for this week. Long before he became the head reporter and interviewer on 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace gained notoriety for an interview show called Night Beat which aired from 1955-1957 on the Dumont network’s New York affiliate WABD during a late night time slot. This led to read more

Three Guys Named Mike: Three Times Bravo!

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Oct 21, 2014

It’s with a great pleasure that I bought, recently, a 16 DVDs box set. All classics, but not very popular classics like The Wizard of Oz or Casablanca. Anyway, after watching some trailers and read a little about these films, one of them kept my attention: “Three Guys Named Mike” read more

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 9, 2014

The short intro: For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, Old Time Radio is the phrase generally used to refer to the time when radio was (mostly) live, and was full of a variety of different shows, as opposed to simply being a means for record labels to use robots to promote the top records o read more
