TCM tonight featuring movies that have no sound track whatsoever.
I think it's 10PM, one of my favorties: Fail Safe. A cold war movie taken from a cold war novel, and the same book "Dr. Strangelove" was made from!
Two different movies based on the same story.
Fail Safe movie is good.I think How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is better.
They used to show it at midnight every Friday night at a local theater.
Fail Safe does not have Very Lynn singing "We'll meet again" at the end... ;)
no sound track??????????
Probably means (quote from a poster on IMDb).........
- This is a good movie - and there is a sense of immediacy to it because there are
- no special effects, funny lights, odd sound effects, there's no background music,
- nothing but what goes on. It's like watching a play in your own home.
Er, I mean, no musical score! Ooops!
The ones with no sound track are run Sundays (Actually, Monday morning) at midnight!
I remember when I was about 13-14 they did (I think it was CBS) "Fail Safe Live", as it was written for the stage. Wanna talk realism?
They redid the Live version again just a few years ago (10? )

Are you *sure* it's the same book? The stories are quite different and then there's this:
The story clearly changes, but Fail Safe was directly based on the book of the same name, and Dr. Strangelove is in many ways a parody of that book.
Watch the two back to back for severe brain-twist.

Have you *read* both *books*? Hollywood has a long history of changing stories to meet their competition at the box office among other reasons. I have doubts whether the master would do it, And they both came out in the exact same year.
I see your point, but you're challenging direct proof with logical argument. Show me a link that shows *your* point.
Shoot, a fellow could have a good time in (Dallas) Los Vegas with all of this ~ Slim Pickens. cuhulin

Ok, fair enough. Nothing's that serious.
My favorite line *has* to be "Sgt. Bat Guana - *if* that's your real name" or possibly the very last one. "Mein Fueuer, I can walk!"
Mandrake talking to the idiot seargent that finally breaks down the door. is the situation of the first one for those foggy on the movie. I've seen it at least 4 times. Only laughed the first two unfortunately.
