Thanks.<br /><br />Skippy, I like "Flea Market Flip," too, but usually that's a weekend morning in bed sort of show for me. I never go to an outdoor antique show that I don't wonder what I would do if suddenly asked to flip things...!<br /><br />rigs, that's a good point about Gloria's lip! A mustache probably aided Stacey Keach's career, too! I like Sam clean shaven as well as not. He was very cute on "Mission: Impossible" and in "Frogs."<br /><br />jobj69, you know what... you are so right and I have to own that bit of annoyance! I have such an aversion to spoilers. I just hate them!! But I've probably pendulumed in the opposite direction as a result. Often I will link the film somewhere in the body of the post so people can see for themselves, but sadly these recent ones haven't had that capability (unless one wants to watch hideously blurry and grainy uploads on youtube.) I'm glad you enjoyed this post (and others) nonetheless! Thanks! And that will be $0.70 in late return fees, please...

I must say, sometimes, I get so into your synopsis and can't wait to read what happens and, suddenly, it's, "If you would like to know the rest of the story, you can check this book out of the library..." lol. Have you ever considered doing a spoiler alert version? Just a thought. At least it looks like I can catch it on YouTube! <br /><br />And thank you for the glorious capture of Roy's shapely derriere in the photo where he meets the boy with crutches. Not to mention the shirtless hottie...good stuff.<br /><br />Thanks again...<br />jobj69https://www.blogger.com/profile/14657669609224295536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-42790867091240239932019-11-11T12:17:09.325-05:002019-11-11T12:17:09.325-05:00Eerily enough, I used to have dreams where I was c...Eerily enough, I used to have dreams where I was chasing Roy Thinnes, he of the steely blue eyes. I never really got Gloria Grahame's rep as a sex-pot, perhaps because I was more familiar with her frequent television work in the sixties and seventies where she was usually cast as a harridan. If she had been born a man, she could've hidden her upper lip with a big seventies porn-stache ala Sam Elliott. rigs-in-gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386949184585570184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-49405982569876522742019-11-08T20:02:51.223-05:002019-11-08T20:02:51.223-05:00This must have been on TV last Sunday night--I did...This must have been on TV last Sunday night--I did not catch the name, but I turned over and got to see the church burning part and the yellow cat, but then changed the channel to Flea Market Flip. I try to never miss that show and it is on right now on GAC.

It was so far off my radar and I was thrilled to see it on my satellite movie channel! I was a dewy four in 1971 so I know I didn't see it in its initial airing. LOLOL Cracking up about the lock of hair. And, you know, she never notices!!! Take that much offa me (if you can find it!) and I'll let you know for sure! I'm sure there are some rivals for it, but the combination of Rosey Grier and Ray Milland as "The Thing with Two Heads" has to be one of Tinseltown's most off-beat pairings...<br /><br />Forever1267, I haven't seen the Tarantino movie but I know that Burt's closest association was with stuntman/director Hal Needham, though all three men were friends with one another. Hal directed "Smokey and the Bandit" starring Reynolds with Barrett doing some of the more daring/difficult driving! Small world... I also marveled at the fact that Mr. Barrett did Paul Newman's stunts in "When Time Ran Out..." and Newman was one of his son's godfather!! <br /><br />Rick, LOL about Mimieux and her parade of rather dim bulbs. I doubt that any were quite as challenged as her first one in "The Time Machine" wherein all the blonde people on earth were like dazed zombies. (Whew! Thank goodness that's changed now... er.... ha ha ha!) I love hearing about people's mom's opinions on stars. They are nearly always either heartfelt or hootily hateful!!!! I liked it best when Ray Milland acted with that other thing with two heads: Sam Elliott in "Frogs!" Ol' Sam had a handsome one on his shoulders and a prominent one in his jeans...!!!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-58510674557028077532019-11-08T07:49:30.925-05:002019-11-08T07:49:30.925-05:00Hey Poseidon,

I always remember the one where Suzanne Pleshette was a guest star.<br /><br />Ray Milland, what can you say about an actor who goes from starring opposite all the Paramount leading ladies like Lombard, Colbert, Goddard, Frances Farmer and even Bette Davis, to a two headed monster? <br /><br />Cheers for stoking my curiousity once again!<br /><br />Rickhttp://ricksrealreel.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14243899548141583461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-81620934625501506902019-11-07T16:31:57.936-05:002019-11-07T16:31:57.936-05:00Allegedly, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood&quo...Allegedly, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is based on the friendship between Burt Reynolds and his stunt man / body double, so this is an interesting find with Stan Barrett. At the time of this movie, Burt would still not yet be the Legend he became in the 70's. Interesting. Barrett and Reynolds are equally as beautiful, if not more so, to DiCaprio and Pitt. <br /><br />I don't recall this one, and am not a Western fan, but TV Writers certainly had crazy drugs in the 70's!Forever1267https://www.blogger.com/profile/17823856461319486720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-87465035391460369352019-11-07T14:28:15.475-05:002019-11-07T14:28:15.475-05:00I jumped a bit when I saw this, I had an obsession...I jumped a bit when I saw this, I had an obsession with this movie for years. In 1971 I would have been 6, and my Dad often let me stay up to watch TV with him while he had beer and pretzels. He loved Westerns and that's probably why he was watching it. I could never remember the name of it, just the imagery of the burning church, Yvette, Tarot cards? and the hot bloody guy. It wasn't until I figured out it was Ms Mimieux and looked up her film career on IMDB that I realized it was called Black Noon.<br />You are so right about Loring's resemblance to Stephanie Powers, could be her Sister.<br />I have always been scared by people who turn out to be not what they seem, and this movie has that in spades.<br />"A lock of hair"? more like a scalping for that Avon looking voodoo doll. Gloria Grahame is unrecognizable in this.<br />Very funny about ups and downs for Ray Milland, wasn't he in The Thing With Two Heads around this time? that's showbiz.<br />Thank you so much for the thorough treatment of this tv movie. It's an indelible part of my childhood memories.<br />Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
