  Hume Blake Cronyn, Jr., OC (July 18, 1911 – June 15, 2003) Cronyn enjoyed a long career, often appearing professionally alongside Jessica Tandy, his wife of over fifty years. His first Hollywood film was Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943). He later appeared in Hitchcock's Lifeboat (1944) and worked on the screenplays of Rope (1948) and Under Capricorn (1949). He was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his performance in The Seventh Cross (1944) and won a Tony Award for his performance as Polonius opposite Richard Burton's Hamlet (1964). Cronyn also made appearances in television, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Kill With Kindness" (1956) and Hawaii Five-O episodes "Over Fifty, Steal" (1970) and "Odd Man In" (1971). In 1990 he won an Emmy award for his role in the TV Movie Age Old Friends. Cronyn married the actress Jessica Tandy in 1942, and appeared with her in many of their...

is where a hat-check girl (Martha Stewart) was murdered and her body unceremoniously dumped, but as it turns out this is barely a background detail in what ultimately becomes an almost-Hitchcockian  Suspicion  (1941) like story. This, however, is not a film overly concerned about protecting a handsome leading man’s carefully crafted, studio persona, and coyness in playing his directorial hand is nowhere in evidence in Nicholas Ray’s work, (though similarly, an alternate and bleaker conclusion was at one time also considered and apparently, for personal reasons and not due to studio interference, was changed.) Supposedly a veiled autobiographical portrait of the relationship between Gloria Grahame and director Nicholas Ray, this is a dark and disturbing film, but also very funny at times. (Robert Warwick as an alcoholic has-been is hardly the single comedy relief element.) The story instead becomes that of a candle which by virtue of burning brighter burns out that much quicker...

  March 30, 1985, the final episode of the NBC sitcom Double Trouble aired. The series starred real-life twin sisters Jean Sagal and Liz Sagal as Kate and Allison Foster, teenagers navigating life under the care of their widowed father. Built around a familiar “twins in mischief” premise in the tradition of The Parent Trap and The Patty Duke Show, the sitcom leaned on contrast-driven humor, with one twin portrayed as more serious and the other more carefree. Originally set in Des Moines, Iowa, the show often revolved around school life and their father’s dance studio, showcasing the Sagal sisters’ real-life dance background. After a midseason cancellation and later retooling, the series relocated to New York City and underwent cast changes, including Barbara Barrie joining in a key supporting role. Despite returning for a second run, the series was not renewed beyond its second season, though it continued in reruns on NBC and later on cable syndication.

Only bookended by Christmas songs, the movie might seem mistitled to a partial viewer since the middle body of the film is concerned only with debts incurred in wartime and the lengths some will go to either milk them for all they are worth or pay them off. One of which efforts results in a (much too) successful and profitable partnership between a couple of entertainers (Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye); so much so that one partner hopes, by playing matchmaker (with Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to fill-in an emotional void he perceives in his professional partner. The other debt is to a much beloved officer (Dean Jagger, who left military service due to an injury?) only to be encountered later as the veteran owner of a sky resort in trouble because of too-hot weather conditions. The obvious solution is for the two partners to  put on a show . The movie starts out its Christmas credentials strong, meanders for a little bit showing little of the romantic chemistry we'd expect from its l...

  De Nachtegaal – Liefde is overal Orakelboodschap : In het donker van de nacht zingt de nachtegaal zijn lied van liefde en hoop. Als voorbode van de nieuwe dag herinnert hij je eraan dat de zon spoedig zal opkomen. Luister, je bent zo geliefd. Het verlichtingslied van de nachtegaal op deze kaart roept je naar een nieuw niveau van zelfbewustzijn en verbinding met het Licht. Ja, er is schaduw en duisternis, maar er is ook liefde en voorspoed, zelfs in de schijnbare leegte van het donker en de nacht zonder sterren. Hoor de boodschap, en laat het lied van de nachtegaal je eraan herinneren dat er overal om je heen liefde is. Voel het en vertrouw erop dat het licht van de nieuwe morgen je laat zien dat de ruimtes die nu misschien leeg lijken, in werkelijkheid vol liefde en overvloed zijn. Je zult het licht snel zien.

  March 29, 1978, the final episode of Police Woman aired on NBC, concluding its four-season run that began on September 13, 1974. The series starred Angie Dickinson as Sgt. “Pepper” Anderson, an undercover officer in the LAPD’s Criminal Conspiracy Unit. Alongside her were Earl Holliman as her superior Bill Crowley, with Charles Dierkop and Ed Bernard rounding out the investigative team. The show followed Pepper as she assumed a wide range of undercover identities—from nurse to nightclub dancer—to infiltrate criminal operations and solve cases. Police Woman broke ground as one of the first successful TV dramas centered on a female police officer, helping pave the way for future women-led crime series. The character originated in an episode of Police Story, though her name evolved before the series settled on “Pepper” Anderson. The show’s popularity was notable—even Gerald Ford was said to be a fan, once rescheduling a press conference so as not to conflict with an episode.

  A great behind the scenes look at Bewitched, these blueprints show the layout of Samantha and Darrin Stephens’ familiar suburban home, where much of the series’ action took place. The house set, with its living room, staircase, and kitchen, became one of the most recognizable interiors on television during the 1960s. It was part of Screen Gems’ stock set inventory, which meant it could be reused and redressed for other productions. In fact, variations of the same house set were used in other Screen Gems series, most notably I Dream of Jeannie and The Partridge Family, with different décor and layout adjustments to fit each show’s needs. This kind of reuse was common in television production at the time and helped studios save both time and money. The misspelling of the Stephens name on the blueprint is simply a small oversight, but the real interest here is seeing how this well known television home was designed and adapted for use on screen.

Despite some nice Cary Grant and Katryn Hepburn acrobatics this is not a screwball comedy and it's much closer in tone to the mature, sophisticated comedy of  The Philadelphia Story . Jonathan "Johnny" Case (Cary Grant), an orphan who has worked since he was ten, has planned to  'drop out'  (this is before the popular term was coined so instead, he calls it  'a holiday' ) as soon as he hits a big business score which will allow him to retire so that he can reflect on life and whether it's worth spending the rest of it accruing more wealth than he cannot possibly enjoy. On his first break ever he meets, falls in love and immediately sets out to marry Julia Seton (Doris Nolan,) a young lady whose own family wealth comes as a late surprise to him. Her father Edward Seton (Henry Kolker), after being initially distrusting, is impressed by his business acumen if not by his family background, social position or wealth; accepts him and welcomes him into the fa...

  De Onvoltooide Symfonie ¥Wezenlijke betekenissen: Onvoltooide zaken; een onvolledige les; gebrek aan woorden; de behoefte om iets goed te maken ¥Boodschap van het orakel: Dit is het moment om alle losse eindjes aan elkaar te verbinden omdat je een project bijna hebt afgerond, of een les bijna hebt geleerd of iets bijna onder de knie hebt. Het is belangrijk dat je beseft hoe ver je bent gekomen voordat je verder kunt gaan. Accepteer dit zonder voorwaarden. Kijk eens wat je al hebt, zodat je een ander emotioneel en fysiek kunt afsluiten en je het antwoord vind dat je zoekt. Je kunt niet verder gaan als je de dingen niet hebt afgerond. Denk nog eens na over wat er is gebeurd, zodat de symfonie uiteindelijk in de goede harmonie kan eindigen. ¥Boodschap voor de liefde: Als de liefde voortsukkelt, is het moeilijk om verder te komen. Gedachten en gevoelens worden niet uitgesproken, en het lukt niet om een eind te maken aan het debat in je relatie of in je hart. Je voelt je nog steeds op...

    March 28, 1976, the final episode of Bronk aired on CBS. The series starred Jack Palance as Detective Lieutenant Alex Bronkov, a tough and world-weary investigator working in the fictional coastal city of Ocean City, California. Across its single-season run, Bronk delivered 24 episodes, blending crime drama storytelling with a character-driven focus on its central lawman. The series premiered on September 21, 1975, and concluded on this date in 1976, ending after one season despite Palance’s commanding performance in the title role.

One of the mid-to-early, but not quite so memorable Cantinflas comedies; still a far cry from the preachiness of his later works, but hardly among those considered classics. Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas' plays a gluttonous, lazy, crooked, flirty (with young, attractive females) and rude (with the unattractive) studio assistant who is fired when he goes too far. Why wasn't he fired before? He goes into business by himself at a local park only to encounter a chemist (Ángel Garasa) who has reverted to childish, violent behavior upon receiving a blow to the head during a kidnapping attempt, and who now has no memory of his previous life as the inventor of a tiny hand-held bomb, (which results in a comic, but much less than spectacular explosion,) in which a shady figure from the American underworld is interested. He is hired to take care of the escaped 'madman' until his mental faculties are able to be recovered. In the meantime, he romantically pursues a beauty shop worker...

A couple of SPY Magazine reporters (James Stewart, and Ruth Hussey) are smuggled into a high-class Philadelphia wedding by blackmailing an also unwelcome former husband because of his ex-father-in-law's peccadilloes with a dancer. The writer and photographer get more than they bargained for when their cover is immediately blown without them being automatically aware of it. The whole family participates in a malicious campaign of befuddlement and confused identities starting when the interview tables are turned on them; then with a nutty performance of  Lydia the Tattooed Lady , (later someone will croon  Over the Rainbow ); the planting a 'stolen' wedding gift cigarette lighter in the writer's pocket, etc. It's not until the writer is revealed as more than simply a tabloid article writer that the tide beings to turn and he is better accepted by some of the family. Complicating matters is that when he shows up, the father expresses no interest whatsoever in having hi...
