Harpo Marx
US , 1888-1964

Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers.

Remembered for his delicate vaudeville, clown and pantomime in the Marx Brothers-movies.
The eternal nuisance, driving people mad with his honk-honk horn, never speaking.
Calm father in real life, cherishing his adopted children and his harps.
Loved to play them as self-educated harpist.

Un regard par la fenêtre sur Le Corniaud (1965), réalisé par Gérard Oury.

Louis de Funès et Bourvil forment un duo inoubliable dans cette comédie culte mêlant quiproquos, poursuites et satire sociale. Entre la France et l’Italie, le film enchaîne les scènes mythiques et incarne à merveille l’âge d’or du cinéma populaire français. Un classique intemporel à revoir sans modération.

Lon Chaney is amazing in this (so were the stunt feet)

Just watched 'Yellow Submarine' by The Beatles. Its bonkers and brilliant. Crazy to think it was all done by hand.
When I was a little kid we taped it off the TV and it was my favourite thing to watch. Explains a lot!

Remember I used to write those reviews? Sometimes I still do and I may pick it up more frequently again. Here's a look at the German Blu-Ray release of Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery, one of my favourite movies.

The Haunting, 1963.
Eleanor Vance, Julie Harris (1925-2013) arrives at Hill House, the housekeeper, Mrs. Dudley, Rosalie Crutchley (1920 – 1997) shows her to her guest room --then just with perfect quietly menacing delivery outlines the rules of the house: “I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at six. You can serve yourselves. I clear up in the morning. I don’t stay after six. Not after it begins to get dark.”

By today's standards The Maltese Falcon (Bogart, 1941) should not be advertised as a suspenseful film noir. I watched it yesterday. Today is just a #comedy, but a good one! The plot is not overly complicated but rather slightly silly. Supporting actors like Lee Patrick make it shine.

One other version of this remake is supposed to be even more comedic and the 1931 (first) version fell victim to censorship (which would in itself be funny if it weren't true). #classicMovie #movie #detective
