The Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special is this weekend and we are literally falling out of our chairs with excitement and anticipation. Newswire: Damn, Tilda Swinton looks like a stunt double from Grumpy Old Men Van Enger Original Music: Nelson Riddle Written by John Tucker Battle, story by Martin Rackin Associate-Produced and Directed by R. Cinematography: Jack Marta (Naturama and Trucolor) Film Editor: Richard L. Street Date Novem/ available through Kino Lorber / 29.95 Starring: Ray Milland, Maureen O’Hara, Claude Rains, Yvonne Furneaux, Francis Lederer, Percy Marmont, Jay Novello, Edward Chapman, Harold Jamieson, Robie Lester. Lisbon Blu-ray Kl Studio Classics 1956 / Color / 2:35 widescreen / 90 min. Filmed in Republic’s ‘Naturama’ and ‘Trucolor,’ both of which prompt plenty of fuzzy man Savant-‘splaining. Most remembered is Nelson Riddle’s adaptation of the film’s title theme, one of the most admired pop instrumentals of the 1950s. Claude Rains is magnificent, Maureen O’Hara is okay and relative newcomer Yvonne Furneaux is a knockout. Ray Milland produces, directs and stars in this odd, forgotten travelogue / adventure / romance /crime tale filmed in Portugal’s beautiful capital.
