Tuesday Tchochekeles
It's All Time Greats Hour in The Projection Room and this one was no violet of the shrinking variety, it received an emphatic nod from the Academy. And there are three reasons to be cheerful - Jean Peters, Dana Andrews and Dean Stockwell. The story comes right off the pages of Americana authoress Ruth Moore's Spoohandle . The book was penned two years
prior to the release of this film. Deep Waters (1948)
And time for a Turkish thriller, Kadin Dusmani which is known in certain circles as Woman Despiser (1967). No, it's not a D. Trump bio-pic, it does happen to fall into the early giallo department category and as you may well be aware, a rare form creation for that nation.
It feels an awful lot like something that came from the marveloso mind of Mario Bava,
this one gots personality and poise take it from your humble Projectionist.

And whatever you do, oh dear Lord, whatever you do, please don't go and take that test. Just accept your defeat and go work at your uncle's gas station. Don't even bother sharpening up your No. 2 Palomino Blackwing. They know when you are revising, repeat, they know when you are revising -
its the Final Exam (1981)
Now it's the Psycho-Western theatre hour and guess who's swinging dem louver doors a'open. Why it's Sterling Hayden, that notorious noir mush decided much like that
young man, to go west. But this picksha never goes west and why - because it's written
by HUAC refugee Dalton Trumbo and given he was still very much in blacklisted mode, the credit would go to Ben Perry at the time. And we've got trouble...right here in Prairie City!
Joseph Lewis helms - Terror In A Texas Town (1958)
Well kiddies, it's time for some spy versus spy theater action and there's chockful o' Cold War comedy chaos in this that was quilled and directed by the same fella - Dick Clement. And one of the angrier
of the once young men - Tom Courtenay he stars as the titular character -in case you were wondering why he was so keen on the lasses. Otley (1968)
Time for a little cartharsis with a little help from our Universal Pictures friends.
Winning (1969) and this is winning in 2016 to boot - how could it not take
home the blue ribbon, what with Paul Newman and his missus who
is always a hit herself. Dave Grusin' is cruisin' for bruisin' with his beats
and Robert Wagner couldn't resist gooseberrying. Directed by prolific
television director - James Goldstone (running time 1 hrs 57 mins)
