Puss-y Galore

Jagerdad · Apr 17, 2016

Puss-y Galore (The website did not allow the language of the first word) Puss-y Galore = Actor Honor Blackman.

I wanted to ask if others enjoy Puss-y Galore...? Or should I say, James Bond 007, 1964 "Gold Finger". (I had to make a tricky caption for fun)

I remember paying, not the normal 35 cents but 50 cents (for loge seats) at the Vine Theater to be captivated buy seeing scenes in the show that actually scared me as a youngster. See: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058150/ for details.

If I see old 1940 through 1960's shows, including Dirty Harry, I am stuck to watch them all. I stop the TV to study cars especially, along with everything else taken for granted in the background of all such films. Many scenes in Gold Finger were shocking back then and in today's films, comparing special effects and anything on old films seem to be worlds apart.

Does anyone else also stop and watch old films...? Enjoy the Orchestra's in the background or, old Fashion's in clothing's and how even youths wore suit's, etc... Plus, everyone in the backgrounds were physically fit and...well...old cars....Lost in time advertising signs on streets, buildings.

A few months ago the local oldy-movies channel (free over-the-air via antenna) did a James Bond marathon. I watched all the early ones; Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball,..... etc. After the 2nd or 3rd Roger Moore film I had my fill. Then they also showed the spaghetti western trilogy (Eastwood), I love that old stuff.

More tidbits on old stuff.

The movie High Plains Drifter
Town of Lago = Mono Lake. Other scenes in Reno and Winnemucca. It's possible to stand today where Lago set had been.

RE: True Grit

I use to work with a guy overseas back in 1971 & 1972 who had pictures of that scene in the shoot out with JW in that meadow. while I was looking at it I asked him HOW did you get your picture in that group. He laughed and said that is his twin brother and proceeded to show me more pictures of his bro and John Wayne. His brother was in a lot of John Wayne's film.....he was the Mexican along with the others shooting at JW as they rode towards each other blazing away. His brother using their birth name but the brother I worked with used his step-dads name don't know why.

RE: True Grit

I'd wager that i've watched True Grit over 20 times, huge fan. 007's stuff, yeah, but not so much.

I too watched "Gold Finger" at the Vine Theater in Livermore.

For a newer Movie, "Open Range" is hard to beat.

RE: True Grit

I just recently watched Open Range with Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones and honestly expected a better movie. I guess to each his own.

Speaking of old movies, some friends of ours asked if we'd ever seen the "scary" movie Salems Lot. We hadn't but remember it from the 70's being one of the frightening movies of that era. We ended up watching it....the whole thing, unfortunately. I wish I had turned it off and spent my time waxing my bikini areas. That movie was horrible...and not scary in the least.

RE: True Grit

You are correct, Sage...It was lonesome dove that I watched. Open Range was with Nick Nolte or someone like that? Nope....that was True Grit. Who was in Open Range? I'm so confused...LOL

RE: True Grit

Open Range may have been Robert Duvall & Kevin Costner.

One interesting thing about the "True Grit" Film is that when John Wayne was charging Mexican Bob ( Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper and Strother Martin) and Glen Campbell is seen atop a ridge, then shoots Ned. Well, in reality, Glen Campbell was actually laying on a ridge top in; California. That's the longest shot (California to Colorado) I have seen with a Sharps.

Also, John Wayne almost got into a fist fight with Robert Duvall.

Now that we have near 90 degree temps, I'm going out to plant Flowers.

Goldfinger was the best Bond movie ever IMHO.Sean Connery was the best actor to play Bond.All the rest were never as good till Daniel Craig came along.Craigs portrayed a little different character, not quite the lucky smartass that Connery played.Casino Royale was great.
I liked Open Range a lot.I will watch it again when it comes on

Thank You Brian, that was good information.

My mind screwed with my memory because I remember a Scary Mexican with a Machete in "BIG JAKE".

I looked and found this site: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/24313/Big-Jake/ That has a Cast & Crew drop down menu. Yet I failed to locate the Machete wielding Mexican. He chopped up everything.
