Didn't Daniela Bianchi appear nude, albeit filmed through a scrim, as she approaches the bed in "From Russia With Love"?    Posted:   Aug 18, 2008 - 4:10 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Non-Bond Trivia: The marriage of the Gregorian Chant overlaying the Laurence Rosenthal music in the opening cut of BECKET was an accident.    Posted:   Aug 18, 2008 - 4:28 PM     By:   David Sones (Allardyce)   (Member) One came to mind...Brando's dialogue being written on index cards and pasted on the set for his scenes in SUPERMAN 'cause he couldn't remember any of that dialogue. How's that for "method acting"?    Posted:   Aug 18, 2008 - 10:59 PM     By:   Bill Finn   (Member) Most people know this film composer as a very famous comic actor. In three films in which he starred (in about a 6 year period) : 1. He composed the score as well. 2. His character is seen scoring a film. 3. He was also a talented pianist and in the third film, his character plays the music that was written for him: on-screen and on piano. The answer of course is Dudley Moore 1. Six Weeks 2. Unfaithfully Yours 3. "10" That's quite enough to bedazzle anyone. ;-)    Posted:   Aug 18, 2008 - 11:07 PM     By:   Michael24   (Member) I was surprised to learn that Sam Raimi originally wanted Bruce Campbell to star in DARKMAN, but the studio felt he wasn't capable of carrying a feature film and wanted a "name" actor instead. One came to mind...Brando's dialogue being written on index cards and pasted on the set for his scenes in SUPERMAN 'cause he couldn't remember any of that dialogue. How's that for "method acting"? I once saw a documentary on SUPERMAN on PBS years ago (perhaps this is on the DVD set now), and one moment showed behind-the-scenes footage filming Brando as he walks around that contraption holding Zod and his gang in place. Brando is walking, delivering his lines, then immediately as he steps out of camera range, somebody hands him the script, and he continues on by reading from it, all without missing a beat.    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 12:58 AM     By:   ANZALDIMAN   (Member) Most people know this film composer as a very famous comic actor.

Unfaithfully Yours 3. "10" That's quite enough to bedazzle anyone. ;-) Where has Bill Finn been lately? Not a "favorite" but the following movie prompted me to post this and bump the thread. While channel surfing I caught some of Blake Edwards "10" on TCM late the other night and for goofs (and since I was already up) I stuck with it. Dudley Moore popping an 8 Track tape into the dashboard player of his Rolls Royce lets you know right away that you're witnessing the beginning of the end of the 1970's. Obviously it's not a great movie and it's hugely dated, but I'd never seen it all the way through. I noticed that in the Mexican resort scenes Brian Dennehy as the wise bartender "Don" (His first big break in movies) tends to lean in unusually close across the bar almost right into the other actors faces. I thought it was a bit strange but thought maybe it was a "technique" Dennehy was either instructed to do by Edwards or that he did it on his own. I looked up a few articles about Dennehy's later movie and stage work and one of them in the Chicago Tribune mentioned that he had an ear infection during the filming of "10" and that he was given a strong pain killer. If you watch those scenes in Mexico Dennehy looks mighty relaxed behind the bar. Not sloppy relaxed, just relaxed. A lot of critics commented that he was great in that small part and I agree. Just something odd that caught my eye in the movie and it seems like there may have been a story behind it after all.    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 1:30 AM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Ah! ANZALDIMAN, while we're on trivia, is The Hearth still there? What I would do RIGHT NOW for one of their CBs or one from The Fireplace in Paramus. Nothing but Checkers down here.    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 1:46 AM     By:   ANZALDIMAN   (Member) Ah! ANZALDIMAN, while we're on trivia, is The Hearth still there? What I would do RIGHT NOW for one of their CBs or one from The Fireplace in Paramus. Nothing but Checkers down here. You can't sleep either? Yeah Howard, the Hearth is still there and although I pass it quite a bit in my travels on Rt 46 I haven't stopped in for quite a while. They probably still have the best char-broiled cheeseburger platter in town. I think they have a whole new staff by now. Some of those same cooks were there for years. All the neighborhood Dad's who worked at Roche had their coffee there in the mornings way back. Good stuff. Good memories. We used to either go there or the Tick Tock Diner after seeing movies. Jersey still has the best tasting junk food you'll find anywhere. Hope you're doing well and enjoy Obsession when you get it!    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 2:06 AM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Gracias. And yes, I was a little under the weather and ended up having a 3hr. siesta late afternoon--the death knell for a sound sleep tonight/last night/whatever. A little after 4am right this moment and I's hittin' da hay. Cheers!    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 6:02 AM     By:   CinemaScope   (Member) In The Vikings, Ernest Borgnine plays Kirk Douglas' father, but he was in fact younger than Douglas. The Same with Lionel Jeffries playing Dick Van Dyke's father in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, he was younger than Van Dyke. In The Manchurian Candidate, Angela Lansbury plays Laurence Harvey's mother, she was older than him, but only by three years. Out of that lot, only Lionel Jeffries was made-up to look old.    Posted:   Feb 26, 2015 - 8:53 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) James Cameron was approached by a woman who told him the stars in the sky were wrong for the time period in "Titanic". He dismissed it, it was too late, the film was out, yadda yadda yadda. Apparently, however, it ate at him and later on when a new edition DVD came out, guess what was corrected? Laura Dern screaming bloody murder at a T-Red head comes at her, was not acting. The robotic dino head malfunctioned and it fell at her. The thing weighed more than enough to squish her like a grape. I don't recall the specifics, but I remember reading a famous crotchty director who came up, after a stunt man or actor had fallen and died, and instead of helping, ordered the cloths to be removed so they could be re-used.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Your favorite Movie Trivia?    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
