As Sam Fuller said in some movie: "Life is in color but black and white is more realistic"
That's it.

Yeah, this is a good one to take in when youre in the mood for a classic without the cheese. Not to be confused with the Philadelphia Story. I give it another decade before the remake.
A few words in praise of Robert Vaughn

he's always been a reliable screen presence, with a screen career of what - 50 years? Sure, he's been typecast to a certain extent as the suave, cynical one (MAGNIFICENT SEVEN through to BBC TV's con comedy-drama HUSTLE) but he never fails to deliver, plus he's one of those faces (Peter Falk springs to mind) whose mere presence guarantees a level of professionalism and enjoyment. Long may he and his schtick continue. And while I'm at it, a tip of the hat to his UNCLE compadre David McCallum. He's just awesome on NCIS, a show which I first dismissed as a CSI ripoff (tho it is most assuredly that) and which has taken on a cheeky life of its own, largely due to the confident playing of the leads from Mark Harmon down. Harmon, a kinaa TV version of Kevin Costner, got a bum deal by being cast against Sean Connery and Meg Ryan back in the late 80s in Peter Hyam's THE PRESIDIO, has come into his own in that show. Maybe there's a movie career out there for him yet...

a guy called Nicholas Musuraca. As Quint delves into these movies, just think about the shot composition, the lighting, the camera movement. There's team effort here. CAT PEOPLE, CURSE OF..., I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE - these and other movies evidence a geek love of visual storytelling, cinema, and of flat-out coolness that we've just seen in the minor Hammer movies Quint covered last week, and that we just don't see these days.
I'm glad Vaughn got work later in The A Team

but the truth is the show that I loved had jumped the shark before that season which was the last, and the worst. I only saw one or two episodes of The Man form UNCLE, but Vaughn was great in that and as mentioned The Magnificent Seven. I wonder if he'll have a guest spot on NCIS.
Vaughn was also in Superman III

Who can forget Superman III? Seriously, I really want to forget that film entirely.
