The Manhattan's should take care of your problem like the Burgundy did
mine......

I wish. I've switched channels to The Scars of Dracula, while sticking to the
Manhattans. Wish I had some vodka for Bloody Mary's.

Sheldon, stop pretending you're 100 years old 🙂 As a teen a friend and I
would watch silent films and other "oldies" at the main library some
Saturdays. They had a small theatre and didn't charge admission. They have
since closed that lovely old branch (the building itself was circa 1920's)
and opened a shiny new glass and chrome-like monstrosity to take its place.

And before Lugosi, Max Shreck in Nosferatu, 1923, a silent German film.

Not a bad combination. But if you had had those Manhattans before
dinner like I did, and some wine with dinner. You would have been
sound asleep by midnight like I was :-)

I trust those Manhattans are being made with good Canadian rye
whiskey. I had one in the US once made with some kind of bourbon or
something . Yech.

Ah, I have a videotape of Nosferatu. Max Shreck was carier than Bela
Lugosi, I think.

That was the era of really scary films. The Cabinet Of Dr. Mabuse and
the first Waxworks (Wachsfigurenkabinett) comes to mind. Freaks was
another one, but that was already a sound film. The first Phantom Of
The Opera, the first Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Invisible Man (a
sound film), all were real horror films. Actually, I shouldn't even
talk about this, as I never went to see one. I do not like horror
films and didn't go to any of them. :o(

Shirley Temple, Nelson Eddy & Jeanette McDonald and Ginger Rogers &
Fred Astaire were more my speed. Still are and I watch the same old
films on TCM and other such stations, whenever they are aired. :o)

Most of these films had scenes of elaborate meals and at least one man
or woman character who had indulged in too much alcohol. Everybody
drank and smoked, which was considered very cool. Remember The Man
Who Came To Dinner?

I had hairy navels, and watched Final Fantasy (which is one of the best
animated films I've ever seen--too bad it bombed at the box office).

Fell asleep before the end, though......

I've actually seen all of these except for The Cabinet Of Dr. Mabuse and
the first Waxworks. I used to really love the old horror movies. I still
occasionally watch them when they come on television.

Yes, with Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, and Monty Woolley. A very funny
picture! Yes, drinking and smoking evoked an air of great sophistication.

We put on The Man Who Came to Dinner as the senior class play a couple
of generations ago.

I would probably appreciate it more now than I did then.

That's an "interesting" movie. Just saw it for the first time last
weekend - thanks to NetFlix.
