Watching “Movies” (Channel)

Going light, I truly enjoyed watching, (on “Movies,” a nice channel, however, I miss TCM), albeit with commercials, two “better than I thought,” movies, “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” and “Village Of The Damned,” starring respective greats, Patricia Neal in the former and George Sanders in the latter.

No, was Michael Rennee’s character, minimum a Jesus reference, here– yet I did just type the question but no speculation.

Honesty compels, he became Mr. Carpenter on earth.

In the movie, “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” later better known for TV roles, Frances Bavier (“Aunt Bee” on “The Andy Griffith Show”) saying “rummy, rummy” in her unmistakable voice, as she won in cards and Billy Gray, still on part of the movie’s title (earth), as are ” Father Knows Best” siblings Elinor Donahue and Lauren Chapin, as Neal’s character’s son.

“Village Of The Damned” from ’60 had nice product placement and brought nice memories, as one could pretty clearly see “Tony The Tiger’s” “ringing endorsement” of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, in the background at least twice.

A true great performer and person, Patricia Neal is pictured above.
