Irresistible portrait of Jane Hounda! What a great film, starting with the musical setup, and the side-story of Lee Marbone. I have to watch it again, now!
Like Marilyn Monroe yesterday, Charlie Chaplin is another one who can be barely recognizable when not costumed, or made up, or whatever it takes to make him look like the character we expect to see…
in this case, his famous film persona, “The Little Tramp”, whom we nowadays assume he resembled in his private life, but he didn’t.
“Sunshine Superman” was one of the half-dozen or so songs that I’ve been serenaded with over the years by well-meaning people who think they’re the first to be so clever…
Not nearly so often as “You Are My Sunshine”, or even “Good Day Sunshine”… but a fair number of times… and I like this one better than most.
LOL
(And yeah, Susan Sunshine isn’t my real name, but it’s close enough to make people sing me “Sunshine” songs.)
Thanks for the memories, Alexi. I grew up in New Jersey listening to Cousin Brucie on WABC, and the Ronettes were always in the mix. More recently he was doing a show on Sirius XM on their 60s channel. The timing was right because I was in my car at the right time, and he often had Ronnie as a visitor. Good times. I will miss Ronnie Spector.
What an ending! !
I did wonder about yesterday’s warning; there was nothing there; today….there is (Playboy’s “Annie Fannie” is shown as in the magazine / the artists came from “Mad Magazine” /and there is some defecation of missiles, yes, missiles).
But what really blew my mind was the similarity between Felix the Cat, and Mario.
A fun series, — , thanks for posting them all.
As Susan said yesterday, you may be logging in at the wrong place.
I’ve put an attachment below that, once again, I hope is clear enough (read the boxes left to right).
You probably know all of this, but I mean no insult if you do; I’m just trying to help.

I’ve got too much time on my hands.
By my count, in Stel’s poster she’s firing at the rate of 138 rounds a minute.
That’s 2 and 3/10s rounds per second.
I’m sure the basset universe’s was better, but we in the human universe are stuck with what we’ve got.
The picture is the link (as always, click through the clutter and go full screen).

I thought I’d never get here… my internet was down again , and there were complications….
But even though I’m late, I guess I’m the only one so far to mention that this is an animated poster!
…
What a great job… it seems by the signatures that Nighthawks had a hand in it too… probably because of the animation.
…
Gotta take a walk past the BassetPlexII, usually my favorite dog movie palace, to see how it looks outside the theater….
Is it all contained in the poster… or are those glass display cases especially wired for animation?
….
It’s such a great movie.
and a huge cast of great actors, too.
Who can forget Marbone’s tin nose?
How did he sniff bu…. I mean…. oh you know… stuff?
And of course, there’s the star… the beautiful young Jane Hounda.
….
I have to mention Dwayne Hickbasset…
I remember being surprised to see him in “Dog Ballou” …
He always looked like a puppy… forever associated with his starring role in “Doberman Gillis” ….
but a few years before that, he was already old for a puppy, but played one anyway, in (possibly my Mom’s favorite comedy) “Love That Dog.”
…
Well, sadly, his human counterpart…. Dwayne Hickman… passed away just a few days ago, at the age of 87. RIP, Dwayne.
But how could he have been 87?
He, too, had youthful looks…
A perpetual teenager, he was already 25 when he copied Hickbasset by taking on the role of the teenage star in the human version of “Doberman Gillis”, which they called “Dobie Gillis”, and played a high schooler till he was nearly 30.
And that was, like… not long before yesterday, wasn’t it?
…
I notice that the human poster StelBel found is in Italian.
Maybe only the Italians attempted to copy an animated poster… but theirs didn’t come out moving.
And who could forget Jane Hounda as “Barkarella” – a role designed for Brigitte Barkon, but (from the human version):
“The original author, Jean-Claude Forest, based Barbarella on Brigitte Bardot. Bardot was asked to play the title role, but she said she didn’t want to play sexy roles anymore.”
It’s a “Southern Pacific” passenger train.
The whole video (part one) is listed at 18 minutes and 4 seconds (set to start where the gif was taken from).
Here’s the dashboard (tachometer is aftermarket) of the 1964 model Dodge Polara. This is the model car my sister and I finally got some teenage autonomy in.
Note the crisper, in my opinion, layout of the transmission buttons. The lever on the left is the lever used to put the car in park or take it out.
It’s down in the picture so the car is in “Park” (when you pulled it down after stopping the car, the gear buttons automatically went to neutral, no need to push “Neutral,” and then pull the lever / a well designed and executed piece of engineering).
Note the lap belts. They were only in the front as I recall, and my dad made us use them from the start. None of the family could understand the fuss about “MANDATORY SEATBELTS ‽ ‽ – QUIT INTERFERING, GOVERNMENT “fuss that came later.
Oh, and you could get a tire chirp on the level and a squeal going up a slight grade. That 318 engine was also well engineered and executed.

Irresistible portrait of Jane Hounda! What a great film, starting with the musical setup, and the side-story of Lee Marbone. I have to watch it again, now!
Yay! Glad you liked it! It’s certainly at the top of my favorites, and I’ve watched countless times!
interesting that a late as 1967, a film made ‘a color!’ was still being touted
Wow, the human version is so lifeless. They had to emphasize certain anatomical features to get any interest.
A great movie — glad I liked it!

Churchill and Chaplin on the set of City Lights, 1929

Mrs Miller
I’ll have to sing “Happy Birthday” to a friend of ours a few weeks from now again – in her style.
… and 34 and a bit years later, these guys’ hair dos were immoral and a menace to society…hmmm.
For some reason this song reminds of riding on a school bus to out-of-town junior high basketball games.
What does it remind you of, @StillTheBelle?
Oscar Wilde, 1882
One of the funniest, or I should say, wittiest, men who ever lived…
with, unfortunately, a sad ending to his story, in spite of his previous fame and fortune… partly due to the unaccepting times he lived in.
Today I think he’d be a multi-media star.

(And yeah, Susan Sunshine isn’t my real name, but it’s close enough to make people sing me “Sunshine” songs.)
Just be grateful they’re not singing, “Ain’t No Sunshine.”
Actually, unless you know a different one, that song is “Ain’t No Sunshine When You’re GONE”…
And, sung by Bill Withers, was indeed posted to me in a romantic situation.
Nothing wrong with that!
Here are seven by “The Ronettes”
“Silhouettes”
“Good Girls”
“Be My Baby”
“Baby, I Love You”
“(The Best Part of) Breakin’ Up”
“Walking in the Rain”
“I Can Hear Music”

Oops. I got the two mixed up.
Dog Ballou is one of my all-time favorite movies!!!!
Why, I would sit in the front row and throw paw-fulls of kibble at that Lee Marbone whenever he would slitter on the screen.
And Nat and Stubby steal the show with their crooning.
Good choice, Stel!
Totally agree!
Unanimous, so far!!
I gave you my vote right there on the poster!

I’m logging in there ~ it just logs me out every couple days for who knows what reason. And I click ‘remember me’, but it has a short memory.
I think that happens to all of us, they’re not picking on you on purpose.
Dog Ballou never has to reload, it seems.

kinda hard to get a power shift with a push-button, automatic transmission
So, is today your birthday?
No. But you’re getting warmer.
oooooo! I love getting warmer.
