Cattle Annie and Little Britches - Outstanding cast (Burt Lancaster, Scott Glenn, Rod Steiger, John Savage, and very young debuts by Amanda Plummer and Diane Lane)

The Oscar (1966) Tawdry and trashy Hollywood tale with Stephen Boyd, Elke Sommer, Ernest Borgnine, Eleanor Parker and Jill St. John.
Stepping Out (1991) Liza Minnelli teaches a dance class with Shelley Winters at the piano.

Yes please on these two. STEPPING OUT is a delightful, little remembered Liza Minnelli
musical that matches the charm of the Broadway original. And THE OSCAR is one of the all time
great stinkers. I still quote such great lines as "If you lie down with pigs, you get up smelling
like garbage." This gem is delivered by Tony Bennett, as Hymie Kelly. I've always wondered
why they didn't go full out and have his characters name be Hymie Alejandro Kelly.

Profumo di donna (Scent of a Woman) with the great Vittorio Gassman showing Al Pacino how the role should be acted.
I'm also in for Dramma della gelosia and Lo straniero

LOCAL HERO

 

[Alan Tully]

Lock Up Your Daughters! (1969). A trio of randy sailors on leave go looking for women in 18th-century London. A real restoration romp with (among others), Christopher Plummer, Susannah York, Ian Bannen & Tom Bell. It's never been released on DVD or Blu-ray, & I don't think it's been on TV since the mid-seventies (not in the UK anyway), so...forgotten.​

LOCAL HERO

British film critic Mark Kermode tweeted that he recently recorded a commentary for this, but offered no other details.

Night Shift (1982) I don't think and HD master exists for this anywhere. Not sure what the hold up is.

Fun film, and Winkler's best.

The musical version is also a little known gem. The University of Minnesota Theater Department's production, back in
the late 1960s, was a real delight.​

ps: Just did some searching on-line, and was surprised to learn that the film version of LOCK UP
YOUR DAUGHTERS is based on the musical, but with all the songs cut, a la IRMA LA DOUCE.
Who knew?

How about “Renaldo and Clara” with Bob Dylan? That’s pretty obscure these days.
