It is one of my all-time favorites also.

My wife Pam and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a cruise in the Western Mediterranean last month. One of the first stops was in......Casablanca. There was a lecturer on board who gave a fascinating talk on the historical WWII aspects of the movie, and then the entire movie was shown in the ship's theatre. It was a sensory overload to see and hear all that the day before we were actually there.

PS now that I've mentioned it I might as well bore everybody with pictures (and music):

I watched a couple weeks ago--you can't do much better. But my kids don't like it--it's in black and white.

How old are your kids? My high school students in Calexico swore they would NEVER like a black and white film---that was untill I showed them Blackboard Jungle.

Now round up the usual suspects

My world stops for Casa Blanca. Good thing they always show it late at night.

Another favorite is “His Kind Of Woman”. Also black and white, it makes many references to some out of the way resort near the Sea of Cortez.

I can almost envision Russell and Mitchum exchanging quips at the bar of the old Club Aero Mulege...

Sorry, I just finished “One Hell Of A Ride” the other night, and my imagination is on over-drive.

Yea, but that is such a brutal place to visit---avoid it at all costs.

Not bored at all, Ken. It was excellent!

I loved that slide show of Morocco. The music really enhances it. I hope others see it as it is buried in this 15 page thread.

Sorry to disagree with you guys about Casablanca. That film does nothing for me. I know that's sacrilege for some. The "African Queen" was a better romance in my opinion.

Not-so Old Movie

MrBillM - 12-9-2007 at 10:52 AM

Last night, I finally watched a movie (1969) that I had burned off of TCM.

"Age of Consent" starring James Mason and a "Young" (and firm) Helen Mirren. The story of a middle-aged artist trying to resurrect his flagging talents by travelling to a semi-remote Great Barrier Island and making use of the nubile Mirren as a model. It is notable for the many opportunities they utilize to display her completely nude body.

Not bad (Mirren, that is). A little wide in the beam, but not overly so.

Didn't google it up. I swear.

Ken,

Those pictures are great----thanks. Would love to travel there someday.

One of my favorite scenes the great movie, African Queen, was when Rose finally stepped into that leech infested water to help push the boat.

Thanks Pompano, you really legitimized this thread by relating it to Baja---just hate that off topic area.

I was going to correct you Diane, but then I realized:

You were testing us, weren't you?

I have always loved Carta Blanca------was not aware that they made a movie about beer------but I am on-topic? (aren't I?)
