Girls Of Pleasure Island-Loomis Looking


1953 movie with the film stock, hairstyles, lighting, make-up, making these women look like something Andrew Loomis could have painted.

TOTALLY. Ellis, y're spot-on.

And in this movie you'd be cast (a la William Demarest) as the irascible father of the bride-to-be--a former Oklahoma oil worker who's done well for himself, sent his little girl off to college--and is thunderstuck by the news she's going to marry that Ivy League fop.

BTW, I can't believe you scrubbed yrself from Facebook. I agree with you that it's an uneasy feeling to have yr online persona swirling in that punchbowl of invisible internet exploitation--but dammit, you were my favorite FBook commenter! Well, you and Ron Thompson! I went back on there the otherday and saw you'd even scrubbed yr comments...it's like you never existed. Boo hoo!

Genn is the big image on the right. I also watched that Green For Danger movie. Netflix streaming is awesome for all these lost or at least neglected potboilers.
I just made a stripped down copy of one of Clint Walker's first movies. Fort Dobbs. I stripped it down to just scenes with horses to have as reference. A very horsey movie. Brian Keith (playing a great heel) and Virginia Mayo. Pretty good.

Leo Genn was a good actor, love his role in Quo Vadis opposite Peter Ustinov
