I seem to remember hearing some good critical reviews of it over the years -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Martin Baxter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In "The Whole Truth", Granger plays either a playwright or an author of international renown who's also a real playa. He gets caught in a tryst with an actress, getting himself in serious trouble (because he's married to Reed). He has to go to a small town in England to hide out until the heat dies down. There, he meets Sanders, a charming sociopathic serial killer who frames him for his crimes. Seems forumlaic, but it works out well for me. If I ever fall across it on DVD, it's a must-buy for me.

It's 52 movies to date, ranging from "Lawrence of Arabia" (my all-time favorite) to "Purple Rain" (the movie that once made over 1,000 women at my alma mater, Virginia State, cry like babies). Beyond that, I watch pretty much anything that TCM offers, and add to the list as needed. My last addition was about three months ago, a flick called "The Whole Truth" with Stewart Granger, George Sanders and Donna Reed. I wasn't expecting much out of it, and found myself pleasantly surprised at the quality of it. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Horror Marathons on Cable Date : Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:10:53 +0000 >From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Do you keep a list of classic films you must watch, as I do? Mentioned it before, I know, but it's got 130 films on it, compiled from the AFI's list of Top 100 films of all time, and my own ideas of must-see films. The latter includes quite a bit of films about Black people that I feel the AFI overlooked unfairly. About a quarter of the way through it so far, mostly thanks to TCM. Top films on the list I still need to see: It's a Wonderful Life, Forest Gump, To Kill a Mockingbird, Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather 1 and 2, and Citizen Kane. (Though thanks to a peeved Frasier on "Cheers", I unfortunately already know what "Rosebud" is, dang it all!) -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Martin Baxter" Daryle, aside from my few must-watch network shows (NCIS, CSI:, et cetera), my TV lives on TCM most nights after six. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Horror Marathons on Cable Date : Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:31:44 -0400 >From : Daryle Lockhart To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com See, the thing is, SFC could get these movies, and it wold be cheaper than producing the originals they do. It's just that advertisers won't pay as much as they pay to be a part of ECW wrestling. Notice...no ads on TCM. Turner has CNN and CN as cash cows. I have a feeling TCM viewership is about to skyrocket, as there's not much to watch on TV these days, and TCM's demo hasn't fully given up on TV -- yet. "Rocky Horror" was on last night -- with commercials (boooo!). I am such a downtown film geek - I made toast in enough time to throw it. Tonight, for special family viewing, I am unveiling a gem I have had on stash for a looong time. MST3K episode -- Prince of Space!
