That seems a bit off -it seems odd that the decision was there was no complicit proof the advert was put up dishonestly yet he also lies about the injections
-weird decision-thankyou EL

Thanks for the compliment but the chances are that I would freeze in the chair
Even if I didn't British Film is a huge area and, although I would probably be able to get some right, I wouldn't get them all right. The British film industry started on about 1898. I know a fair amount relating to Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Powell and David Lean films but that's a very small proportion.

Possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel for the coming week:
Tomorrow 16.35 "Double Whoopee" (1929) a Laurel and Hardy short. It also features Jean Harlow in her first role of any significance. Also the first film which was made as a silent film but had a dialogue track added to it to make it a talkie.
Next Sunday 22.05 "Confession" (1955) known as "The Deadliest Sin" in the USA. British thriller about a priest being marked for murder after hearing a confession. One of Ken Hughes's first feature films as director, best known film being "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Film's lead was played by Sydney Chaplin, father was Charles/Charlie.
'Older voices' should be refused platform - Hamilton
That's how the front page of BBC's Formula 1 section has been showing a news item for the last 3 days.
When you look at the article, that inflammatory heading is poor journalism as he's saying 'Older voices' should be refused platform to make offensive comments.

It's been years since I've seen it, I remember it mainly as to could More get Bacall and the young prince to safety, for the casting of More and Bacall in the same film, and for the main character - the train

I'll probably watch the Laurel and Hardy film...I like them
Don't know about the other one...I might have seen it...not sure but it sounds familiar.
I'll record it

Keneth Moore was a fine actor.
I don't think I know too much about Bacall...probably do, just can't remember 
Of course I knew from the start that Herbert Lom was going to be a baddie

Personally I don't think a person should be silenced because they speak what they think or know, whether they are old, young or inbetween.
To me that says that the rest of us are too stupid to either ignore it or respond with a more up to date/ less inflammatory answer/perspective.
Am I too old to say that

You may be thinking of Hitchcock's "I Confess" where a man confesses to a priest about a killing resulting in considerable problems for the priest

Yes you could be right El
I've seen 'I confess' with Montgomery Clift as the priest and Karl Marlden as the Inspector
Karl Marlden was in many a film..he was a good actor....easily recognisble by his... nose

Bogart and Bacall, one of the most famous Hollywood marriages. Their romance started during the filming of their first film together "To Have and Have Not" (1944), they married afterwards and stayed married until he died. In his coffin, she put a whistle:

Karl Malden was a fine actor as you say, his nose was as a result of being broken twice when he was playing sports as a teenager

Howard Hawk's wife noticed Lauren Bacall on the cover of the magazine "Harper's Bazaar" and she showed Hawks the magazine with the result that she was cast in that film (her first), Nancy, his wife, had a nickname of "Slim" The scene I posted was in fact Bacall's screen test, so Bogart calling her "Slim" was a nod to Hawks' wife. That scene wasn't initially going to be in the film but the producer told Hawks to integrate it into the film.
"To Have and Have Not" is a good film. It's not a remake of the earlier "Casablanca" though there are some slight similarities.
Hawks, Bogart and Bacall would go on to make "The Big Sleep", one of the best films of the private eye genre.
