frank roberts “Lucky Terror” is another Hoot Gibson flick featuring trick riding (Hoot – not a double. Check his background – he is more of a cowboy than most of his peers). As usual, the humor is there, and lots of it – such as an old western accordionist who is a descendant of Beethoven. The cast of characters are a bunch of characters. All in all, this is highly recommended, except to old grouches. thanx, bnw which stands for brilliant ‘n wond…

frank roberts I hadn’t seen “M” in many years. As a story, it holds up well and, Peter Lorre’s performance is exceptional. Later, he became a shadow of himself. The story of a child killer hits close to home these days. It is frighteningly current. When his sentence seems light, the people are ready to lynch – the same people who later approved Hitler’s actions going in the same direction. An ok movie , I guess this was aimed at being a recruitme…

frank roberts I was reviewing “Horace Takes Over” when it got blocked out. Just want to say this is 10 star hilarious – the lines, the action – everything is crazy-funny — no let up.

…k out of this one – a PRC movie. (My father worked for them in NYC). frank roberts “The Blood of Jesus” is a movie from ’41 that played in black theaters and, these days, is a curiosity – but one that should be seen. It is a cheapie, but worthwhile – God vs. Satan story, with plenty of old-time hymns. It alternates between the heavenly people and those living in Satan’s den.Spencer Williams, who had a lengthy career was the star. Beautiful Cathryn…

I guest conducted the Kent State University Orchestra three years ago and my selection was “La Marseillaise” in memory of all the European resistance fighters who…
frank roberts Fascinating silent film, a D. W. Griffith product. frank roberts “Isn’t Life Wonderful” is, as advertised, fascinating – a look at post World War 1 life, mixing love, humor, sadness. It is a short piece – too short. It ends abruptly signifying nothing. Leading man, Neil Hamilton, who had a long movie career, is too doggone handsome. Most annoying is the background music, fitting nothing that is going on in the flick. Still, this D….
