A Cry in the Night
A Cry in the Night (1956) was directed by Frank Tuttle, who made Puritan Passions (1923), A Kiss in the Dark (1925), and This Gun For Hire (1942). Young Natalie Wood, who was lost between The Searchers and The Burning Hills, plays a headstrong girl who needs to learn her lesson after rebelling without a cause. Edmond O'Brien plays Natalie's overwrought father and overacts a storm. Brian Donlevy, the man with "the shortest arms in Hollywood," plays a no-nonsense detective. Richard Anderson, who made a career out of playing dweebs, is Natalie's concerned boyfriend. Closet case Raymond Burr, who had just finished Godzilla and was not yet Perry Mason, plays a nutjob who kidnaps Natalie. The poster for A Cry in the Night is slightly better than the movie. (And this is what passes for serious and insightful film criticism here at Starlet Showcase? Oh my!)

A Bird Named Sue
For those guys out there who are about 40 or 50, you might remember having seen Sue Upton on The Benny Hill Show (1969-89). Maybe your Dad was watching it on the family television. And the Hill's Angels dancing girls came on the screen. And suddenly you and your Dad both quit laughing at the silly, baudy humor and went, like, WHOA! And you learned something about Bump-and-Grind dancing. And you learned something about your Dad, too.
Oo, I feel romantic.
Oo, I wanna let you know.
Have you ever really studied dancing
or do you make it up as you go?
Shake it slowly,
do that bump and grind.
- David Lee Roth
