Cow Country (1953)
Surprise watch.
Agree with most of other reviews. My concern was no reference to use of a Grieg melody with musical director not acknowledging the fact.
Exodus (1960)
Karaolas Camp
In 1957 I was billeted at Karaolas Camp.Famagusta. In the film they pronounced it as " Karry-ay-loss", we and the locals called it "Karralass"
The Gangster Chronicles (1981)
Superb series, but did it finish without a proper ending??
Whether it was the TV company scheduling (or mis-scheduling!) but it seemed to me to stop in mid- action. Did you feel this? Just like 'Amazon' did! This was my first sight of both Joe Penny and Michael Nouri and I have followed with interest their careers from then to date. As an avid reader of all things Mafia styled this was the most authentic portrayal of that lifestyle until the more recent Sopranos and Goodfellas.Why have the TV companies never repeated this series? It would be a welcome change from some of the current dross that is being shown. The epithet 'Lucky' was given to Luciano after he survived a severe beating and left for dead in a wooded area, not as some say due to his gambling luck.
