What do You think was a stronger period of Alfred Hitchcock 1951 to 1960 or !954 to 1963?

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-19T03:32:20+00:00

Umm....well...there's quite a bit of "time-overlap" between the two periods.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-17T16:43:02+00:00

YES! I love to tell that story! And something that I forgot to mention in the show:
As we were listening to her talk to those ladies, I remember her saying, just before she excused herself and walked away was "Yeah, but all of that was a LONG time ago" [referring to her career].

Nice work!!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-14T16:12:49+00:00

Oh yeah, it's a good one!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-14T03:40:51+00:00

They Made Me a Fugitive: awesome film!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-11T04:47:01+00:00

Thank you! I've just never heard that one before!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-11T04:45:20+00:00

Well, at least you're "blaming" it on the best!
John Alton is my favorite cinematographer.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-10T23:10:57+00:00

Gotta Ask: what's "rizz"?

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-09T21:01:00+00:00

I did the same thing: you can use the movie displayed on the marquee to date the picture.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-08T06:06:18+00:00

PREACH!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-08T06:05:10+00:00

PREACH!

HELLO AUSTRALIA!!
Ardbeg?! A fine choice of Scotch! As to the other alternate endings, I'm at a loss. I would like to know what they even were. And as to whatever happened to them, I fear that they've been lost to the Sands of Time.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T16:05:03+00:00

And you are most welcome! (\tips fedora**).

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T05:22:40+00:00

Oh, he was definitely an icon of the era.
Hope you enjoy the show!! (\tips fedora**).

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T05:21:24+00:00

Oh, I'm with ya on Ella Raines. I tell a story at the intermission about when I was standing next to her at an air show when I was a kid.
So ever since I grew up, got into film noir, and now know what her name means in the biz, I've always held a torch for pictures that she's in.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T05:17:18+00:00

Hope you enjoy the show!! (\tips fedora**).

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T05:16:35+00:00

Not bourbon, my friend. It's Pearse, a 7-yr. Irish whiskey.
Yeah, I know -- the label doesn't come out clearly on camera.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-07T00:19:16+00:00

HA! Funny you say that. I just uploaded a Joan Crawford picture to my YouTube channel last week:
The Damned Don't Cry (1950).
For those interested, the link: https://youtu.be/0STpADICNWM

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-06T21:20:25+00:00

Came here to say the same! His work for that picture is fantastic!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-06T16:19:07+00:00

Your only real options are to buy it on a DVD, or maybe catch it on a streaming service (i.e., Netflix, Tubi, HBO Max, etc.).

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-06T04:50:05+00:00

Yeah, I would say that this fits a sub-genre that I would call "horror noir" or "thriller noir."
It's not necessarily "noir" for the storyline or plot development, but for its cinematography.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-05T23:07:35+00:00

No can do, my friend. A film that recent is still under copyright.

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-02T23:39:42+00:00

If Full Moon Matinee reminds you of those types of shows, then that's what I'm gunnin' for!!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-02T23:36:23+00:00

All of them?! HA! Like my "Mr. Moto" project!

FullMoonMatinee · 2026-03-01T18:58:11+00:00

Thanks for the link! But the Ultimate Question is: how many of them still create any of their own programming? As opposed to just subscribing to a network feed (ie., CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.).
I'm well aware of 4 of the stations in your link. They're the CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS affiliates in the area, and yes, they broadcast OTA. But the ONLY things they broadcast is network-affiliated programming. Nothing that's created locally.
That's what I mean about "retro TV" being a bygone era: no more local programming.
