• Journey to the centre of the Earth  –  Trip to the Center  of the Earth.

I love this film and the great Bernard Hermann soundtrack.

(As a Scot, the only drawback is Pat Boone’s accent!)

 

• Dial M For Murder.     The Phone Rings at 11pm.

The original title is definitely better.

 

 

• The Las Vegas Story.      The City of Pleasure.

Another film I  can watch anytime. Victor Mature, Jane Russell, Vincent Price – all re-united from “His Kind of Woman”, a year earlier.  Plus Hoagy Carmichael at the piano.

 

• Hell On Frisco Bay.        The Bay of Hell.

I guess American place names weren’t considered a draw overseas.

Can anyone explain that hand on Alan Ladd’s cheek. Looks odd. Can’t be Joanne Dru from that angle.

 

• Bringing Up Baby.       He,She,and the Leopard.

Well, that’s pretty basic and true!

 

Edge of Darkness.       Freedom Struggle.

One of a very few war films I can watch any time. Great cast and story.

 

 

If I Had a Million.      One I’d like to see. Big cast. And it’s Ernst Lubitsch.

 

Crossfire……….Crossroads of Hatred.

A great thriller which I always think of as ‘The Three Roberts’!

Good painting of Robert Young, not so much for the other two or Gloria Grahame.

 

 

• Honky Tonk………I Want You As You  Are.

Lovely color poster. Presumably the American slang expression wasn’t acceptable. But the alternative is a bit pedantic.

Lana’s hair is outstanding!

 

Show Boat………..Magnolia.

Can’t think what is wrong with Show Boat. The musical isnt just about ‘Magnolia.’
Noted  that Ava Gardner gets top billing.
