Look! Up In The sky! It's a t*rd! It's a pain! It's. . . TurkeyMen!

Holy Crow and The Board Of Health! Space, you have created a new nadir that at first glance seems impossible to sink any lower. In the words of The Temptations, it's "so low you can't get under it, uh huh."

And though I fear my contribution will not sink to your newfound depths, it's still pretty awful. And it's by Ed Wood, so you know it's received the Wheel Of Limburger Seal Of Bad Housekeeping. I give you. . .

Like Del Shannon, I'm still searching, searching. . . .

And this one is just a step above. But some great watchpoints to enhance your pleasure:
*Most of the actors walk like they have timber in their crotches;
*And the Oscar goes to the Gog-Go Girl in black for most seductive voice and demeanor;
*Check out the menacing/longing glances the suited hoods exchange when Khigh Dhiegh trades philosophical and cultural observations with Michael (Mr. Barbara Eden) Ansara;
*And the treacherous Ruby Macguffin seems to have been lifted from *Lost In Space*.

I give you. . . *The Destructors* (1966), which gives new meaning to "dead air" between quips.

Things round here begin to feel familiar. Just a bit. But familiar.

I like it.

I thought about doing a tribute to Lizabeth Scott this week. But then I picked up a small stack of classic comedy movies and decided to go comedy instead.

The Palm Beach Story - 1942

Starring Joel Mcrea and Claudette Colbert.

A New York inventor needs cash to develop his big idea, so his adoring wife decides to raise it by divorcing him and marrying an eccentric Florida millionaire with a capricious high-society sister.

This is cheese but the best kind of cheese. Well acted good script. Kolchak had some soon to be famous writers on it. This is the first Tv movie that did very well in the ratings.

And of course the brilliant Darren McGavin

Folks, lets stay on course for cheese. Checkout the costumes in this one. Skull cap and cargo shorts are all you need to get to the moon. The script is terrible the acting a crime. All in all a cheesy hoot.

And now for something brilliant. We had two seasons of this amazing rendition of Nero Wolfe. Maury Chakin was Wolfe. Timothy Hutton was not only Archie he was also the producer of the show. I loved how it used the same cast for all the episodes playing different characters.

Nero Wolfe The Golden Spiders

Of course we always need a cheap detective. Just gag after gag. Falk is brilliant. A laugh fest. What a cast and every gag you can think of from movie Detectives is tossed in along with the kitchen sink.

Boss, I'm a firm Peter Falk fan. If there was ever a deader deadpan delivery, I have yet to find it.

This week, I'm gonna mix things up. Starting with what is considered to be the original disaster film. This movie was believed to have been lost. But a complete copy was discovered in 1981. The special effects for 1933 astound me. Other than the obvious miniature ships, the actual destruction portrayed would require a few decades and many movies to be surpassed. Then there's the post-apocalyptic aspect which is explored. Pretty edgy stuff for the era.

Deluge - 1933

Starring: Peggy Shannon, Lois Wilson and Sidney Blackmer.

A massive earthquake strikes the United States, which destroys the West Coast and unleashes a massive flood that threatens to destroy the East Coast as well.

Wow, Space, I owe you a real debt here. Until your disaster movie post, I thought deluge was an Olympic bobsled-type thing.

I'm going to check to see if Youtuba has *Fatal Instinct*--it falls right into the comedy gap of *The Cheap Detective* with Armand Assante.


Really guilty pleasure, but I love it.
Jeff

It's time to add some more entertainment to The Screening Room. I'm gonna stick to the Pre Code era for a while. Jeff knows that I hold a serious fascination for the period. It's fun to compare the "wide open" film making from the period, compared to how we tend to look at that period. It was also the time, which gave us some our greatest performers for the next few decades. So, without further adieu..


Ladies of Leisure - 1930

Starring: Barbara Stanwyck and Ralph Graves.

A rich young man falls in love with a party girl, and the man's father threatens to take away his fortune if the couple gets married.
