Norma Tanega sings Jubilation … Alone I can’t fly … beautiful song, a real 60s vibe, resonates with all fellow Gen-Xers, I bet:
Movies Watched -- Odd Man Out (1947)
116 minute running time so at least 20 minutes too long … kind of interesting, but got talky and super heavy on morality, allegorical, and filled with Christian symbolism so I wasn’t that thrilled … unusual ending, didn’t see it coming … this was a John Farr reco. This guy bothered to identify all the semi-Biblical characters of Odd Man Out .
“… the film is telling me to give Johnny’s situation a more abstract significance. And, finally, that significance comes through loud and clear when Johnny shouts out the agape verses from 1 Corinthians, and Lukey and the doctor discuss his soul. This is not your usual heist movie.” That’s an understatement!
Mister, give us a penny
Movies Watched -- The Small Back Room (1949)
106 minute running time … David Farrar gorgeous enough to be James Bond, except he has a wooden leg in this picture … somewhat unusual since he drinks and pops pills and grouses … I wasn’t that thrilled with it, but John Farr liked it…
Shut up you little B… (drumshot!)
Movies Watched -- The Phantom Carriage (1921)
107 minute running time which is fairly long for a silent movie … heavy-handed morality tale about the dangers of demon liquor and what it does to marriages and families, etc. Made use of double exposure (see screencap) to good effect … I wasn’t super thrilled with it, but Ingmar Bergman apparently watched it at least a hundred times. This was a John Farr reco.

Jackie Shane, a transvestite from way back before it was fashionable … I love his/her song, Any Other Way:

Movies Watched -- Topsy-Turvy (1999)
160 minute running time so at least an hour too long … I like Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, especially The Mikado, but I wasn’t too interested in this historical re-creation, mainly because of its extreme length. Theater people will like it, Farr no doubt loved it (he did), but I say you can give it a miss.
