Marian Schedenig 9,149 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I've always been meaning to listen to more of his stuff. I was totally unaware of him until 2009, when I saw him live in Vienna, in a fabulous concert. He must have been 75 then but still played a mean and energetic blues. RIP.

Marian Schedenig 9,149 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I've not seen much of Delon's stuff, but I like Scorpio: The entire middle section of the film takes place in Vienna, including a lenghty chase across the construction site of Vienna's first subway line. I always find it fascinating to see that area that I know so well in its current layout dug open completely, just a few years before I was born.

Thor 8,503 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 James Darren has passed away. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/james-darren-gidget-moondoggie-star-trek-1236127756/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFDNiNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUYdB4HBBGTXT_WMclLIrEePVfH7EZ6IJRc7N9RqvOmjMiHw6mq-EiN3Qg_aem_HAldYPbcryvt38pl_BCRaQ As I wrote on FSM: Sorry to hear this. I've always confused James Darren with Johnny Desmond a bit, probably because they both have a John Williams connection across several things, and they're both JDs. Desmond passed away decades ago, so I somehow also thought Darren was dead. Good to hear that he reached 88, which is pretty good innings. But in either case, it is - as I said - the Williams connection that made me aware of him. I'm too young and too non-American to have experienced his fame as a teenage idol etc. as it was happening. So these Williams connections were THE TIME TUNNEL (incidentally a series I fondly remember from my youth, as it was shown in syndication on Super Channel, but I wasn't aware of Darren as a name at the time, nor Williams for that matter), BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG, GIDGET GOES TO ROME, DIAMOND HEAD and even - sorta - THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, where Darren had a role and Williams orchestrated a bit. Even a non-film album recording from 1959, conducted and arranged by Williams. So the Williams-Darren connection is "tight", as the kids say.

Apparently, all the cosmetic procedures that are available today can't do much for the neck... How many aging Hollywood stars have we seen with smooth, tight faces but wrinkly, sagging necks? John Williams has remedied this nicely by wearing turtlenecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
