They 2nd was an old, old Disney movie "In Search of the Castaways," with Haley Mills, Maurice Chevalier, George Sanders, and Wilfred-Hyde White. There were some Oscar nominees and in that cast who had more than a little talent. I saw the film back in 1962 when Disney released it. Loved it back then, last evening I found it amusing. Here's a clip. Special Effects were done by Ray Harryhausen.
And this late posting is because I did choose to sleep in this morning. I don't have to go back to the store for 3 days, and many chores have been planned.
Also, while I have a lot to say about the evil Republican Empire, I'll save most of it for later... except for this smarmily amusing bit. Evident on Loser #45's trip to Saudi Arabia, he as given gifts that were illegal, and, of course he kept them because why should he be concerned about legalities. Well, it seems like the leopard and white tiger robes were fake, died just like his skin, to make him believe he was getting something much more expensive than it actually was. Now, isn't that just furry?
Thing 45 is a fucking idiot.
ReplyDeleteThat's all.
My suspicion is that he probably got a little boner when he was told the gifts were illegal.
DeleteLoved Castaways! Orange Anus wouldn’t know fake from real. I cringe hearing that voice again when the news shows include sound bites.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain Disney influenced a number of childhoods back then. I don't really watch news shows, so rarely hear his voice.
DeleteI have always been in love with Ray Harryhausen's effects in films.
ReplyDeleteRay's an icon in the field of special effects.
DeleteI liked Wave. Hollywood should take a clue and learn about tension and character development in disaster movies. That last part when they go to the hotel and it floods? I screamed at the screen.
ReplyDeleteCheeto got fake, gaudy, illegal gifts. Just like himself. Karma knocks.
XOXO
And that's the point in the film where I thought things began to fall apart, that water would have ripped everything apart.
Delete"By jove, that was a narrow squeak" - must be the understatement of the year!
ReplyDeleteRichard Hyde-White, what a great character actor, nominated for 2 Tony awards (Broadway).
