Them! (1954)
Them - Big Ants 1954
This is Sci Fi at it's best for 1954. It stands the test of time. I love the Los Angeles locations, since I was born in LA. The Los Angeles river and the California desert scenes bring back great memories. This film " Them " is for all audiences and is entertaining. By far one the greatest classic suspense science fiction films of it's time. It will be enjoyed by young and old alike. Some people will find it to corny. That is o.k. too, it is meant to entertain. If you love a great story line you will love this film. Some over acting, or over directing. It's science fiction after all. Not a small world , BIG ANTS after all ! It should make people that are civil servants or military members able to relate to dedication.
Agi Murad il diavolo bianco (1959)
The White Warrior, Steve Reeves
This is a very interesting B movie with Steve Reeves as the hero. I think the audience will learn about Russian history watching this little film. The great talent of Steve Reeves is once again able to entertain the public. It is not easy making a film of this nature in a foreign location. Even with the imperfections with this little film there are many enjoyable moments. Steve Reeves was once offered the part of Samson, but later turned it down. He was also offered the role as 007, instead of Sean Connery, but declined the role. He was also offered several roles that actor Clint Eastwood later accepted in spaghetti westerns, but declined. By his refusal of roles , other actors that did take those same roles have become legends.
Yours, Mine and Ours (1968)
Yours, Mine and Ours, 1968
My late father Robert Cazneau was the Prop-man for the movie called "Yours, Mine and Ours". My mother and I went to San Francisco with him and saw some filming of that show. My father had worked closely with Lucille Ball and her husband Desi. He worked for DesiLu Productions for "The Lucy Show". I met Lucille Ball one time on the set of that movie while they were filming the date seen at night.I was even an extra in a walking seen at age nine. I met Desi about two years later. The most alarming thing that happened is when Lucille Ball arrived at the set, she was mobbed by fans. This took on a tragic result when the fans nearly turned over her car. The police came out with clubs and hit everyone. Later that night Henry Fonda came out and started telling jokes. My mother and I met him then. The pretend wedding was filmed at the " San Fernando Mission " in Los Angeles since it was easy to secure. My parents attended the ceremony. I have always enjoyed this movie,even if I did not see it being made.
The Animal (2001)
The Animal 2001
Hello, I not only saw the movie "The Animal", I was an extra in it. Part of it was filmed in Sonoma , California. The Star was far more entertaining than what the film was able to capture for the audience. I think in the future he will find a film that will make him taken serious as an actor. I namely refer to Rob Schneider. He had a lot of Charlie Chaplin in him. Some of the movie was also filmed in the town of Calistoga near Napa Valley. Colleen Haskell was lovely in it and it was nice to work with her. I do not know if she will be an actress in the future. For myself I have very conservative taste's in films. Far more than " The Animal ".
