During Roman's husbands drinking binge, we see, through his glass of booze, his letter of termination, and in the Date of Termination is typed October 10,1960. He claims to have just been terminated but this scene takes place the day before the 4th of July... tomorrow being the pool party. I'm not sure if we're to assume that he's been out of work all this time or if it was just an editing mistake. Just my two cents. Great reviews, as usual...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176078894456695167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-81195933189756612242016-09-12T08:39:30.576-04:002016-09-12T08:39:30.576-04:00John, Thanks for stopping by and reading, commenti...John, Thanks for stopping by and reading, commenting...! Glad you got to re-watch this rather obscure gem and hopefully extend the fun a bit through this post. I've found myself turning to it again every so often.

This time around, I actually knew some of the actors (Jack Cassidy, Ruth Roman and Micky Dolenz' father George Dolenz). When I was a kid I only knew Paul Anka. Glad I was able to revisit this film and also somehow end up on your site!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425767371238841598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-37477532297832102962012-07-06T16:36:23.249-04:002012-07-06T16:36:23.249-04:00We are in utter and complete accord on everything ...We are in utter and complete accord on everything you said.

What kept me in my seat was the Barry's shocking (for 1966)offer of a "boy" to the married man he was trying to bribe and the odd look that passed between them. I hung around wondering if it was going to turn into a plot point. No!

I didn't focus on it the way I did this one because I can only stare at Barry Sullivan's craggy face for so long. That had to be one of the most "set-bound" films I've ever seen! Two of them in all, I think. I lost interest before it was over and began to FF the (most) dull bits.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-75598833968570933052012-07-05T22:18:42.851-04:002012-07-05T22:18:42.851-04:00I happened to see this on TCM as well and of cours...I happened to see this on TCM as well and of course wondered where it had been all my life. TCM should really hire to introduce these films because you really dig up a wealth of information about all facets. Even Robert Osborne couldn't unearth so many butt shots of Anka. Thanks for another fun post. (Any chance you caught that wonderful stinker "Intimacy" when TCM screened it? Jackie DeShannon's film debut could use your special brand of exposure.)Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-90507688573052158602012-07-05T19:07:02.056-04:002012-07-05T19:07:02.056-04:00I'll have to add this to my list of obscure fi...I'll have to add this to my list of obscure films to keep an eye out for, it sounds like a hooty delight! <br /><br />As a fan of Ruth Roman I've always felt she was a better actress than she was given credit for. A great deal of that was due to the fact that a lot of the movies she made in her heyday were programmer junk. When given half a chance she was quite good. She and Paul Douglas were cast in a modern dress version of MacBeth called Joe MacBeth set in the criminal underworld where she is excellent and quite deranged. Plus she always seemed like somebody it would be fun to sit down and knock a few back with, probably that voice and ever present cigarette! Of course she has a bit of immortality as a survivor of the Andrea Doria, you can find her memories of the sinking online.<br /><br />I agree that TCM has been a goldmine of late for little known films, that's were I ran across Joe MacBeth, especially their birthday and remembrance tributes like the recent Priscilla Lane and Ann Rutherford ones. Some <br />are wonderful and of course some are deservedly forgotten but at least you get a chance to decide for yourself.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-1423367372523194962012-07-05T12:10:57.552-04:002012-07-05T12:10:57.552-04:00Thanks for the feedback, you guys.

Good to see you again.<br /><br />Like most of you, I didn't know how cute Paul was as a youth, either. You don't have to feel TOO pedophilic about him here though because - like so many other movie teens before and after him - he was nearly twenty when this was filmed. ;-)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-26286098153638465302012-07-04T20:24:15.890-04:002012-07-04T20:24:15.890-04:00I can't believe THAT's Paul Anka.
