Cast:

and many more

Story:
An aging silent movie star, Jolly Grimm, lives in his house with his girlfriend, Queenie who has to endure a lot on his moods. James Morrison helps here and there, yet his opinion doesn't count in Jolly's eyes as he's making a movie on his own. To the screening, he invites all important people in Hollywood from directors, studio bosses, young actors and actresses, musicians, dancers. Queenie's friend, Kate, comes with her boyfriend, Dale Sword and well, he only then has eyes for Queenie and so slowly the tragedy begins. However, the party turns into a sex orgy for all, and for Queenie and Dale a new life. Yet Jolly can't live without her and with being drunk, he then shoots at Dale and Queenie and James. Two people are dead, and one lands in the hospital to tell about it.

Some pictures:


More than enough pictures, I think. lol

And tomorrow another little time travel. More I won't tell, just that this movie is going to be long.

[Tim]

Know a lot of the actors in this one.

[Squad 51]

Oh wow, and another set back to the 1840ies with Mandingo, as well from 1975!

Cast:

and many more

Story:
A run down plantation, before the Civil War, is run by the Maxwells. Father and son are not in agreement when it comes to treating their slaves, yet are when it's clear they need a heir. Father Warren is old school and treats his slaves like always, son Hammond likes to have sex with them, yet is a bit limping due a childhood accident. Never mind, after buying two more slaves, a man named Mede and a woman named Ellen, he sets out for Mandingo. Mede is trained to be a boxer and Ellen is Hammond's favorite - until he's forced to marry his cousin Blanche who is fleeing from her abusive brother. To make matters worse, Blanche seeks out for Mede and sleeps with him as a revenge on her husband who does the same. Yet Blanche gets pregnant, and you can imagine the outcome. Some slaves rebel and many people end up dead.

Some pictures:


I'll stop now with the pictures. More than enough, I guess.

Never mind, tomorrow then we'll go a year further into 1976.

[Tim]

Never seen this one either.

[Squad 51]

All I know is that the movie was on an index for a long time. Just recently then given free, yet can't say exactly when. So I took my opportunity - in both languages.

[Tim]

Got it.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Well, when a film is free why not download it when you can. It's better than paying for it then.

[Squad 51]

Exactly. Never mind, today I saw Lipstick from 1976.

Cast:
Margaux Hemingway - Chris McCormick
Chris Sarandon - Gordon Stuart
Perry King - Steve Edison
Anne Bancroft - Carla Bondi
John Bennett Perry - Martin McCormick
Mariel Hemingway - Kathy McCormick

and many more

Story:
A top model named Chris got raped by her little sister's music teacher, Gordon. The case went to trail, ending him free. After some time, Kathy met Mr. Stuart again and he did the same to her, sending her older sister out on revenge by shooting him dead. Her trial ends the same way - free.

This is clearly made for the Hemingway sisters and Perry King only has a minor supporting role. The women play the main part here, and the US court system.

Some pictures:


Note: In some pictures are foreign titles for this movie. My guess is one is French but the other one is definitely German (re-translation: A woman sees red).

Second Note: Can't promise yet if I watch a movie tomorrow. My friends and I have planned a game night again, so I'm back with one on Tuesday from 1979. 1977 and 1978 are already done.

[Tim]

If you want to take a break, go for it.  We can wait

[Squad 51]

I know but my list is already long enough. Never mind, tonight then Love's Savage Fury from 1979! A set back to the Civil War.

Cast:
Jennifer O'Neill - Laurel Taggart
Perry King - Col. Zachary Willis
Raymond Burr - Lyle Taggart, Sr.
Robert Reed - Commander Marston
Connie Stevens - Dolby
Ed Lauter - Sgt. Weed

and many more

Story:
Shortly before and during the Civil War, a Southern family has treasured gold for the Confederacy. Father and son Taggart are getting killed as the Union Army takes over the area. Laurel, the sole survivor of the family, is getting led to a prison where she has to take care of wounded soldiers. Yet as a good looking, presumably Confederate soldier named Zachary Willis enters her life, she wants to have more - love and be with him. Still, she also has to face some losses. After some time, Laurel helps her great love escape, not knowing that this was planned to show Zach the way to the hidden gold. Just then he tells her the truth and that he's an Union Colonel, and naturally she feels betrayed but he's left his gun behind. However, the end of the Civil War comes quicker than expected and both can admit to be in love. *sniff*

Some pictures:


More I can't find here.

Note: This movie felt kinda like a copy of "Gone with the wind" or a prediction for "North & South" several years later.

Well, and tomorrow another year further. 1980!

[Tim]

Never seen this movie.  However, I know most of the actors in it.

[Squad 51]

Yep, like Raymond 'Perry Mason' Burr, Ed Lauter and I didn't mention Debbie Morgan, the Seer from Charmed. This was one of the two I recently bought.

Tonight then the one with a young Mickey Rourke.

Story:
An alcoholic columnist, Vince Perrino, is hired by a very rich man who just bought a little newspaper around L.A. to make it famous again. Yet Crawford is only out for the news about a new serial killer they call the "Dream Girl Killer". After a while, the man starts contacting Vince and calls himself the "Centurion". However, Vince and Lt. Armstrong try to work together, yet still Crawford only wants sensations. It goes that far that Tony, an employee at a super market, is threatening Vince but the police then questions the right persons and goes after Tony. Especially Armstrong and his partner, Raymond Zavala, who would be separated if they fail this case. Well, at a discotheque the final shooting happens and the police got the killer. Vince then quits whereas Crawford just wants the news about the Lieutenant this time.

Some pictures:
