Here's the made-for-TV horror film i talked about on another thread - The House that Would Not Die with the iconic, Barbara Stanwyck.

[Walter Hale 4]

Here is "A Howling in the Woods" with Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman and Vera Miles, which may surprise some members who associate Eden and Hagman with their "I Dream of Jeanie" TV series.

Here , the film is more of a suspense, high drama script.

Hell's Belles (1969) starring two Elvis co-stars Jocelyn Lane (Tickle me) and Jeremy Slate (G.I. Blues and Girls Girls Girls). Look forward to watching this later in the week as i not seen the movie since 1993 !

Blowing Wild (1953) HD, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Ruth Roman, Anthony Quinn, awesome western and cast !

Great opener by Frankie Laine, too.

The Blue Knight is available on you tube yet again ! Good to see.

The Blue Knight is a 1973 made-for-TV film adapted from Joseph Wambaugh's 1973 novel The Blue Knight.
It inspired the 1975 TV series also named The Blue Knight. The film was broadcast on NBC TV in November 1973, was directed by Robert Butler, and featured an all star cast headed by William Holden as Police Officer Bumper Morgan. The additional cast includes Lee Remick, Anne Archer, Sam Elliott, Joe Santos, and Vic Tayback.

100 percent recommended.

Here is the TV show with George Kennedy playing the role of Bumper Morgan.

[Walter Hale 4]

as is THE BIG SLEEP, a U.K. remake, not the Bogey classic !

Victim (1961) - The classic and groundbreaking thriller starring Dirk Bogarde.

Just found a very early, and rare, Bette Davis , Humphrey Bogart film called "Bad Sister".

I know of four other films they made and starred together but not this one.

It's really a pleasure to add this one here-

[Walter Hale 4]

YEEEHHHA, The Damned Don't Cry available in 1080p Qual on youtube...

The more Joan, Bette and Barbara, the better !!!! I'll be sure to post them here as and whenever i find these

[Walter Hale 4]

Although it's not what i was searching for, i thought i should add this made-for-TV film with Victoria .
I was looking for another Vikki Principal title called 'Naked Lie' which i have not seen since the late 1980's...but...it's not available

But out of the two "Mistress" is a far, superior movie and there may be some folks here who have not seen it. So, worthy of posting it here.

Vikki's a lot like Donna Mills as they both owned their own production company, producing mostly television films while at the same time, having long running TV roles in Dallas and Knots Landing (Dallas offshoot) respectively... and beyond.

Here's the basic storyline - A woman's world suddenly caves in when her wealthy lover suddenly dies. Without him, the loneliness and stigma of being someone's mistress are brought home to her.
As well as having to grieve without emotional support, she also has to move on, without the financial support / stability of her relationship.

Wow !!!

Now hows about this one with another Soap TV queen , next to Vikki and Donna, the stunning Morgan Fairchild?
Morgan was in the long running television soap , Falcon Crest.

The Haunting of Sarah Hardy 1989 - Sela Ward, Morgan Fairchild ,Michael Woods and Polly Bergen...

Plot - She was a child when she witnessed her mother's suicide, but now Sarah Hardy is a newlywed who is moving into her wealthy mom's old estate. She soon begins to think she is being haunted by the spirit of her dead mother. Or could someone be playing tricks on her?

Found this 1993 film Deadly Relations with Robert Ulrich and Shelley Fabares. It's based on a true story. I reckon it's nice to find a Shelley film or record post-1960's as many of us (myself included) whenever her name is mentioned , only really think of her famous "Johnny Angel" tune, her various 1960's beach movies and her three Elvis movies. Certainly there's a lot more to Shelley's career than that. Therefor it's my pleasure to add this movie here:





Good write-up on wikipedia about Shelley movie and television career...

Just found this excerpt from "Baby Face" movie made in 1933. Features a very young looking John Wayne (with jetblack hair!) and Barbara Stanwyck. I don't recall seeing either screen legend looking so young before.

Anyone here seen "Baby Face" ? I know i haven't.

[Walter Hale 4]

this here is the made-for-television U.S. movie i talked about with Lindsey Wagner who is investigating child abuse.

Lindsey was in a number of television films and mini series following her popular Bionic Woman series came to an end in 1978, and many of which were magnificent, diverse roles by her.

[Walter Hale 4]

Off topic i know but this is the pilot to the TV series "Hotel". Screen icon Bette Davis was in the cast. Morgan Fairchild, Erin Moran and Shirley Jones (pictured) guest starred.

There was also a 1967 film "Hotel" based on a popular novel by Arthur Hailey.
The series , produced by Aaron Spelling is set in the elegant and fictitious St. Gregory Hotel in San Francisco (changed from the New Orleans setting of the novel and film).

[Walter Hale 4]

just found this Lee Remick film "Sanctuary" in 720p resolution.



Whilst i'm at it, hows about i add this song, "Lee Remick" by australian outfit The Go-Betweens. Fits in context AYE

[Walter Hale 4]

Here's another one with Lee Remick as Kelly Sherwood in the black and white thriller , Experiment in Terror.

The cast includes Glenn Ford (Inspector Ripley), Stefanie Powers (Toby Sherwood) and Ross Martin (Lynch).

It' s my pleasure to add it here.
