Two (2! count 'em!) more Truffauts to report!

Two nights ago I rewatched Mississippi Mermaid (La sirène du Mississipi). I had watched it for my first time not that long ago, but I needed to repeat it after having now seen these several others. I also find it a bit of an odd one in terms of story, and I already didn't recall certain critical things about it. So it's a good thing I pulled it out because now I simply had more context for it in his oeuvre. Antoine Duhamel is the composer, and the score has a different feel from those of Delerue but is perfectly effective in this different kind of picture. I keep saying "different". I'm really glad there's a Nick Redman & Julie Kirgo commentary because I'm craving their perspective on this one.
Title: Re: THE POTENTIAL HAPPY CAMPER
Post by: ChasSmith on September 05, 2025, 06:50:03 AM
Then last night it was time for the last Truffaut disc in my collection, The Bride Wore Black. I hadn't seen it since first getting the Twilight Time Blu-ray, however long ago that was. At least a decade? But somehow I had missed EVER seeing it back in the day, so I had only seen it that one time prior to last night. I find that incredible, when I had "known" or known of it since not long after it had been made. But what I really knew all those years was Bernard Herrmann's music.

When I watched it that one time a decade ago, I liked it, but I didn't love it like I do now. I think it's stupendous, everything about it, and the Herrmann score is fantastic. After watching, I checked out the first five minutes of commentary - again, Nick & Julie, thank God, along with Herrmann's biographer Steven Smith - and found right off the bat that there had been some surprising disagreements between Truffaut, the cinematographer whose name I'm blanking on, and Herrmann, as far as how the final film came out. I thought it came out wonderfully in all respects, but again I look forward to hearing these people's knowledge and thoughts on all of it.

The only other Truffaut disc I own that I haven't watched in this li'l retrospective is Fahrenheit 451 which I'm so familiar with I won't watch it again right now. I'm missing just a few well-known films of his - The Last Metro is one - and since I'm just watching my own physical media this time around, I will catch up with those later.

I would also like to lessen the world's tensions by assuring everyone that I haven't left my Beach Party double-features behind.

I didn't feel like watching one after Mississippi Mermaid, but I returned to them last night with Beach Blanket Bingo which I enjoyed much more than Bikini Beach a few nights prior and found irritating for whatever reason. And I'm no expert on Beach Party history, but I was surprised to find Candy Johnson and one or two other regulars not in this one. Are they out of the series now? I'm not cheating by looking ahead, I'll just keep watching. The only movies I have are the eight in the "Frankie & Annette" box set of DVDs, so I had to skip Pajama Party which isn't included. Up next is Ski Party which will probably be tonight.

Post by: Jrand75 on September 05, 2025, 07:25:13 AM
Yes DR CHAS SMITH Miss Candy only appeared in the first four of the beach pictures. She moved on in her singing career, opened a short lived nightclub in NYC,

Johnson died on October 20, 2012.[1] Her cremated remains, along with those of her sister Gayle, were sent to outer space in 2013 by the Houston-based space burial firm Celestis.[13]

Post by: bk on September 05, 2025, 07:52:38 AM
I always liked Mississippi Mermaid, which I saw when it came out, as I saw all Truffaut back then, mostly because of my love for The Soft Skin and Fahrenheit 451 - the latter has one of the most shameful Blu-ray transfers ever.

I liked Pajama Party because Annette is paired with Tommy Kirk and they probably my favorite duet of the series "There Has To Be A Reason" - a close second Frankie & Annette 'I Think, You Think" from BBB.

Have you seen the later "reunion" movie 1987's BACK TO THE BEACH?

I saw it in the movie theater the weekend it came out, and had such a great time.

DR FREDDIE I loved BTTB as well...lots of fun.

But Miss Annette was certainly beginning to show the effects of her MS.

And I love the story she told in her book. She would be out with her husband and friends - having a drink and smoking a Lark cigarette. Someone would always stop at the table and say: "Why, Annette, I didn't know you smoked and drank."

And she would always reply: "I also have three children, guess what else I do?"

Looks like Pajama Party has to be gotten on an out-of-print Blu-ray or on the old separate DVD.

As Covid is reported to be coming back in NYC, PLEASE watch out for the elders in your life.

Remembering Dad, Naftali Landau, whom everyone called Nat, for his heavenly birthday, born Sept. 7 1920.  He passed away of Covid at 100-1/2 Feb. 2021, and given longevity in the family, Covid clearly cut his life shorter than it should have been.  It's a "mystery" that even with 24/7 care, he caught Covid and hadn't been vaccinated even as late as Jan. 2021, when at 100, he logically should have been among the earliest eligible for the vaccine.  (His caregiver was a Miami company, which may relate to Florida's lax Covid precautions, I think.)   

Here we are on what was a very happy day indeed, the bris in 1988 of my nephew David Landau, who's celebrating his birthday today, Sept. 5 (Happy birthday weekend, David Landau!) -

It sounds scary, especially after so many years of not having interviewed.

Even more so that my greedy brother and his greedy wife had gotten me removed from the health contact list for both Mom and Dad - Because of that, I wasn't even told my Dad was in Aventura Hospital until the Rabbi's wife had tried to visit Dad and she just double-checked to make sure I knew Dad was in the hospital.

My brother and sister-in-law wanted full control over everything, financial and medical.

As Covid is reported to be coming back in NYC, PLEASE watch out for the elders in your life.

Remembering Dad, Naftali Landau, whom everyone called Nat, for his heavenly birthday, born Sept. 7 1920.  He passed away of Covid at 100-1/2 Feb. 2021, and given longevity in the family, Covid clearly cut his life shorter than it should have been.  It's a "mystery" that even with 24/7 care, he caught Covid and hadn't been vaccinated even as late as Jan. 2021, when at 100, he logically should have been among the earliest eligible for the vaccine.  (His caregiver was a Miami company, which may relate to Florida's lax Covid precautions, I think.)   

Here we are on what was a very happy day indeed, the bris in 1988 of my nephew David Landau, who's celebrating his birthday today, Sept. 5 (Happy birthday weekend, David Landau!) -

I was locked out of the decision making for my father.  My sister did not call me so I could be there when he passed.  Someone else called, and then my brother called but I arrived about 15 minutes late.

And I found out what dear Grant was charging him for his tiny little abode and it was OUTRAGEOUS. I don't think he'll be renting it out at that price anytime soon. Robert Yacko just got a studio that's 200 MORE square feet for 1100 bucks LESS in Sherman Oaks. My fear is that if he can't rent it out he'll try to raise my rent and IF he does that I'm afraid I will be out of here, too. Don't know where but I get ten Zillow options a day that are slightly cheaper than what I'm paying for slightly larger places - this is two bedrooms - everything I look at on Zillow is three and either the same price or less. I don't really want to move at this point. And I have been looking in Palm Springs, too, but that would be wholly dependent on a whole bunch of things.

After my sister's initial round of her chemo cocktail it seemed it worked.  I was doing the study at the NIH at the time.  When the cancer return within, I forget how long, they told me she would be gone in x number of months and they were right.

Before it came back I tried to get her to sign up for a trial and she wouldn't do it.  Once it came back she called me to get her into a trial, which at that point she didn't qualify for any :(

Here's the title track from "Kiss of the Spider Woman."

Jennifer Lopez - "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBJ0ZoUb5uM



It took me a moment to get used to the Hollywood orchestrations, which are overwrought but actually quite good for the situation. JLo has problems with the word “kiss” the first two times she has to sing it.

DR FREDDIE I loved BTTB as well...lots of fun.

But Miss Annette was certainly beginning to show the effects of her MS.

And I love the story she told in her book. She would be out with her husband and friends - having a drink and smoking a Lark cigarette. Someone would always stop at the table and say: "Why, Annette, I didn't know you smoked and drank."

And she would always reply: "I also have three children, guess what else I do?"

Good for her! ;D

As Covid is reported to be coming back in NYC, PLEASE watch out for the elders in your life.

Remembering Dad, Naftali Landau, whom everyone called Nat, for his heavenly birthday, born Sept. 7 1920.  He passed away of Covid at 100-1/2 Feb. 2021, and given longevity in the family, Covid clearly cut his life shorter than it should have been.  It's a "mystery" that even with 24/7 care, he caught Covid and hadn't been vaccinated even as late as Jan. 2021, when at 100, he logically should have been among the earliest eligible for the vaccine.  (His caregiver was a Miami company, which may relate to Florida's lax Covid precautions, I think.)

Thanks for sharing! His voice is higher than Aaron Tveit's but he's playing the lower-voiced role. Sure, they can transpose, and it's not that much lower, but that wasn't an arbitrary choice in the original show. On the other hand, since the books have never worked well, shaking things up a bit might not be a bad idea. We'll see.

Not allowed?   Can you say why?

We tried to schedule and the pharmacy said due to new restrictions, I can’t get one unless I’m over 65. Maybe with a doctor’s order but I gather docs won’t be doing that now.

I applied for a couple of jobs but didn't get interviews, but just doing research on what one needs to put on resumes nowadays, and what one should do, say, how to dress, etc., if you get an actual interview was really scary.  Everything seems so specific and one wrong move could put you at the bottom the the list.

It sounds scary, especially after so many years of not having interviewed.

Yup.  I know that I was very lucky in that my mortgage was paid off, and I was close enough to my early retirement age that it didn't make a lot of difference to start to draw it early.

Nice photo.  It had to be doubly upsetting knowing a vaccination might have prevented your father from dying of covid.


Even more so that my greedy brother and his greedy wife had gotten me removed from the health contact list for both Mom and Dad - Because of that, I wasn't even told my Dad was in Aventura Hospital until the Rabbi's wife had tried to visit Dad and she just double-checked to make sure I knew Dad was in the hospital.

My brother and sister-in-law wanted full control over everything, financial and medical.

And I found out what dear Grant was charging him for his tiny little abode and it was OUTRAGEOUS. I don't think he'll be renting it out at that price anytime soon. Robert Yacko just got a studio that's 200 MORE square feet for 1100 bucks LESS in Sherman Oaks. My fear is that if he can't rent it out he'll try to raise my rent and IF he does that I'm afraid I will be out of here, too. Don't know where but I get ten Zillow options a day that are slightly cheaper than what I'm paying for slightly larger places - this is two bedrooms - everything I look at on Zillow is three and either the same price or less. I don't really want to move at this point. And I have been looking in Palm Springs, too, but that would be wholly dependent on a whole bunch of things.


Oh, my!  Hope everything works out, BK!
