Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The one with James Mason and Pat Boone. Hadn't seen it in years, but you know what? It's still a pretty good movie....for an oldie with no computer graphics. Consider getting a copy and watching it yourself. I thing most of you would enjoy it.

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Have both versions. When nieces and nephews are around they love the Brendan Frazer version and it is okay. Once they go home I quietly drag out the Pat Boone version and really enjoy that one.

Lots of stories about the early R&R singers. He knew them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 There were a few other movie adaptations of Jules Verne novels made in the late 50s/early 60s. Mysterious Island, Five Weeks in a Balloon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days. Another good one, though not a Verne book was The Time Machine.

That's OK; H.G.Wells was on the same level as Jules Verne. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember waiting in line to get our tickets to see Five Weeks in a Balloon (1962). I was 7 and didn't know who Red Buttons was. Looking at the marquee poster I said that Red Buttons must be the chimp. An older and obviously much more worldly kid set me straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Red Buttons. I heard him tell this story on himself on some daytime talk show - Mike Douglas, maybe. He was traveling with Anthony Quinn. And they had just arrived in Italy from Germany. Everybody they met knew who Anthony Quinn was. No one had ever heard of Red Buttons. So Quinn talked him up to all the hotel staff, and they was all excited about having that famous actor, Buttino Rojo. And when the bellboy took his luggage up to his room, he decided to live up to all the hype that Quinn had spouted, and give the bellboy a good tip. Gave him 10 lira. Bellboy gives him a dirty look, and as he's leaving the room he's mumbling something nasty in Italian that includes the words Buttino Rojo. He says "we just come from Germany, where we had been for a while. I was used to German money. 10 marks was about $5. That's a good tip. Ten lira, on the other hand, is about a penny and a half."

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 From the era when actors could enunciate, dialogue was more important than sound effects, action wasn't shown in half second close up clips, and sets were lit and not filled with smoke.
