A Movie A Day: Quint on UNTIL THEY SAIL (1957)
Okay, I’ll do what you say. I won’t walk with Americans until I’m 17.

Jean Simmons was quite a dish.

I really liked "The Ghost Ship". I stayed up til like 3 in the morning watching it because I really wasn't sure what was going to happen. Not too shabby for a lick from '43.
I've got a movie for you to revisit.

The 1993 comedy masterpiece FREAKED starring Alex Winter. One of the heights of American filmmaking.

That is true dedication, sir.

I admit to being ignorant of early Paul Newman so The Rack and Until They Sail are on my queue. So excited for your Cat People review!

And Netflix doesn't have them so

so much for that. Looking forward to seeing them at some point in my life though.

You've got a great stretch coming up, including four by Val Lewton (although, warning, one is pretty much a stinker). The high light to me, however, is Robert Wise's "The Set-Up". The film - pun intended - packs quite a punch.
Suggestion

Can I be so bold as to suggest a little British (well Scottish really) flick: Restless Natives. Featuring a relatively unknown cast (apart from Ned Beatty) I think it would make a nice addition to your list (so long as you've never seen it before)
I agree on "The Set-Up"

One of the better yet sadly ignored boxing flicks - and the way thoughts about suicide were depicted in the Hayes Code era is equally fascinating. Loved some of the shots of the people in the crowd - the fat guy plowing through popcorn - the housewife who was thirsting for blood - I wouldn't be surprised if Kubrick found inspiration in this for his early noir-ish flix.

Nothing coming up in the next week past the fifties? No CGI? Waaaa waaaa. This sounds like a good flick. I'm not sure how many Newman movies I've watched in my life. Sure, I've heard of the big ones, and seen a lot of them. But to learn more about his more obscure earlier works is great.
Sad that some of these are unavailable.

Wish the distributors would start reading this column.
Watching all these Newman flicks ...

are gonna make it twice as hard for ya when Ol' Butch kicks the bucket in a couple of weeks ... or, even days. (Not that I want it to happen. Just being realistic. I love Paul Newman.)
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Great Paul Newman film I caught a few weeks ago. Highly recommended. Does anyone know if he ever did any supernatural/horror film(s). I know he did that Robert Altman sci-fi movie Quintet (haven't seen that one yet). Just askin'
get to VAL LEWTON faster!!!!!!!!!

some of my favorite all-time films are in that Warners Val Lewton set. 7th VICTIM has my favorite all-time ending.

Agreed about Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I don't believe he's done anything in the supernatural or horror genres. He might've done some sci-fi television early in the 50s or something though.

Don't forget. Piper played the broken love interest of Neuman in "The Hustler."
