Am I Missing Something?
... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreI often think about this show. It was an amazing show and sometimes for an eight year old it was pretty scary. I remember one show where someone was walking through an alley and you just knew something bad was going to happen. I walked through an alley like that on my way home from school. After seeing that showed I walked through it really fast. I wish these shows were on DVD. I would love to see the episodes again.
... View MoreOK, I totally agree when the other users say that CLIMAX was a great TV show. And so rare too. I don't think that any one would be able to get all the 166 episodes !!!I have already watched some of them. Some are actually amazing, such this one starring Vincent Price, as a very bad husband and father - NIGHT HUNT or NIGHT KILL, something like that...A great episode with a twist ending in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents manner. That's exactly what I love in this kind of TV series. But what I quite don't understand about CLIMAX is WHY making episodes that are the perfect copycats of great classics such as HUCKLEBERRY FINN or DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE...WHY THE HELL ????What's the use to show the audiences the exact story of films every one has already seen?CLIMAX was not the only show to do this. I watched some others which did the same thing. LAURA, KISS OF DEATH, and many more classics made again for TV shows...I hate that. I only look for short stories in the AH Presents manner. Nothing else.
... View MoreI wanted to see the original Casino Royale, and when I finally did, I wasn't expecting much, but all up, I was pretty disappointed. It's alright, but pretty weak.It's live, so done like a play, but isn't that good. I apparently saw a version which had the last minute cut from it, so maybe the reason I don't like it so much is that I was disappointed when it ended.Black and white doesn't bother me, so it wouldn't make much different whether it was colour or not. I actually don't think it would look as good in colour to be honest. I was surprised to hear that Ian Flemming had preffered this too Dr. No and the other official movies.Acting is very good, I can't complain about it, and the story doesn't add much at all to flemmings novel, but took a lot away.People say this casino royale is great, but all up, I can't see why.
... View MoreThe director could not yell, "Cut!", so, when Peter Lorre's character dies, he lies there briefly. When he thinks the show is over, he gets up and walks off the set! He probably thought he was playing Rasputin. This is a prime example of the pitfalls of live television.
