    	Does anyone know if a soundtrack for Casablanca is available??? 
    Specifically I'm looking for a recording of "As Time Goes By". 
    Hopefully the complete version as opposed to the one verse in the
    movie.  RCA/Victor did put out a recording that looked like it might
    have this, "Classic file scores for Humphrey Bogart", but it doesn't
    have a version with the vocals.
    
    	Any leads would be greatly appreciated...  I need it soon (or I may
    be forced to use the version from "Sleepless in Seattle", by Jimmy
    Durante (ugh...).

    RE: "As Time Goes By"
    
    If you can't find the "Casablanca" soundtrack, you might want to find 
    Harry Nilsson's "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" which
    contains a perfectly fine rendition.  It might also be on one of his
    anthology collections.

RE .1 and .3 -  Mandy Patinkin also does "As Time Goes By" on his CD titled
"Mandy Patinkin: Experiment" (which I don't have; just saw this in a blurb
that came yesterday from Book-of-the-Month Club [which also sells some CDs
and videos]).

    Does anyone know if their local video store rents the made-for -tv
    movies, "The Bastard", "The Rebels" and "The Seekers".  Three films
    that were loosely based on the John Jakes novels on the Kent family?
    
    Thank you in advance.

    available on tape.

    Does anyone know where Roman Polanski's movie "Cudulsac' is available on
    video tape.  I've seen all of his movies except for that one. It;s
    listed in the Video Guide 95, but I can't find it.  Any help will
    be appreciated.  Thanks!
    

    Culdesac can be found at the end of many streets in America.

    help me ?

    HI All,
    
    	Does anyone know of any Web sites which list videos available for
    order in the U.S.?  I came across Picture Palace the other day, but I'd
    like to know if there are any others?

    Don't forget that your videos are different to ours.
    
    Sue

    
    
    
    you can get multiplay vcr's , which is what I did when I moved to the
    UK. Panasonic makes them and they play both NTSC and PAL tapes.
    
    ( NTSC = north America )
    ( PAL = England )

    Re-1
    
    Thanks...I'm actually trying to find a particular video to order for my
    friend in the U.S. as a crimble pressie...
    
    hmm...can your video tape my Pal output into an NTSC format?  (sorry
    ratholing...).
    
    Mikef

    
    
    
    some can..but alas mine cannot. Mine just tricks the machine into
    thinking it has a PAL tape but it doesn't record in NTSC. :(

    :)

    
    
    
    at least the cost of tapes in the states is half that in the UK!

    Help!
    
    I am looking for a copy of "Reefer Madness" to replace a badly worn
    copy, and cannot find it anywhere anymore.
    
    Viewfinders (see note 5.1) has tried to get it for me, but their
    warehouses have not turned it up - most unusual for a film that is
    supposedly public domain.
    
    Anyone know what the story is?  Anyone have a spare copy they'd be
    willing to sell me?  Has anyone seen this film in stores anywhere in
    New England??
    
    All leads welcome - E-mail me at SCOMAN::PHILLIPS if you find anything!
    
    						--Eric--

    
    	Video Dimensions in Northboro MA has Reefer Madness
    	for rent. They may be able to order it for you.

    My wife is looking for the name of a movie.  
    
    All she can remember is a scene in this movie that has a kid who is a
    paperboy and and his line is "I want my two dollars".  She remembers this 
    kid follows this guy everywhere and keeps repeating the "two dollar" line
    through out the movie.
    
    I wish I could give more details on this, but that is all she can
    remember.  Does anyone know what the name of this movie is?
    
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I don't know the name, but the guy the paperboy was following was
    played by a young John Cusack.  This was on cable somewhere the other
    night and I thought it was "The Sure Thing" at first but it turned out
    to be something else.  So, alas, I changed the channel...

    RE: 3.19
    
    I think that's "Better Off Dead".  
    
    Good movie; great line.

	I'm interested in finding the name of a film,

	It stared Jack Lemon, Terry Thomas and Kim Novak (I think).

	Things I remember about the film:

	- Jack Lemon palyed a playboy author of a detective comic strip
	- He (plus Terry Thomas) always played out the scenes for real
	  photographing them
	- There was a Glopater, Glopater machine (!!)
	- And a pill that made you go Whhhuuuuupppp (raise hand palm upways
	  towards ceiling - pause dramatically) - Splattttttt (turn palm
	  downward and drop hand/arm)
	- And one of the final scenes had an extremely polically-incorrect
	  courtroom scene where he was accused of murdering his wife and
	  got the jurors (all men) to push an imaginary button that killed
	  off their own wives.

	I'm sure that this must jog somebody elses memory for a title as I
	would like to see it again.

	Paul. 

    
    
    I think its called "How to murder your wife"
    
    
    
    good movie!
    
    
    							Ian

    It *is* "How to Murder your Wife", and the wife is Virna Lisi (not Kim
    Novak).

    Sigh for the good old days ...
    
    This was one of my favorite comedies. Now I have to live with Dumb and
    Dumber ...
    
    Geoff

    I'm trying to remember the title of a movie from the late 60's to early
    70's.  It was about 2 children and there parents who moved into an old 
    house in the English countryside.  There was an attic (or barn loft?) 
    that had an	old witch chained up.  A co-worker remembers some details
    such as the children hearing noises/screaming from the witches room and
    the children bringing food to the witch.  I do remember a fire at the end 
    of the movie.  I saw this on TV in that timeframe, but I'm not sure if it 
    was a movie or made for TV special.  I was young then and don't remember 
    any actors/actresses.   Does this ring a bell??  The real question is why 
    do I still remember this movie?      Any takers?

        I just found this conference...I hope this is the correct way to
    	find the title of a movie.
    
    	I'm looking for the title to a *really* stupid movie (it actually
    	was quite funny at times).
    
    	Two guys, buddies, work during the day as trash collectors. One
    	of them wants to be a stand-up comic, so he works at a local club
    	in the evenings. His buddy plays the accordion.
    
    	The would-be stand-up comic's jokes are absolutely terrible. He
    	rarely even gets a reaction from the audience.
    
    	His life begins to change when a bump on the middle of his back (I
    	don't know how it got there- I missed that part) begins to grow
    	into an arm. So, he has this arm growing from the middle of his 
    	back. His comedy routine doesn't do any better, tho, because the
    	crowd says "Oh, sure..the old fake arm growing out of the middle
    	of your back routine".
    
    	The actor whose name I remember is Wayne Newton..he played the
    	role of a small-time talent agent.
    
    	Told you it was stupid. Please don't ask why I want the name of it.
    
    	Thanks                    
    	
    	John

    Hi. I'm looking for a copy of "Radio Ranch" with Gene Autry.
    I don't even know if it's on video. Any way I can find out?

    Hello,
    
    I'm looking for a copy of the "ceremony for the Oscars 96". I can pay
    for it, no problem. I have the NTSC system.
    
    If you have one and you can help me you can directly write me to
    LEMAN::BUGNON
                   
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    I got the original at the Movie House, 35 Nason St., Maynard.  

    I'm looking for movies in which there are elderly people who reminisce
    about the past, review their lives, and remember the events that shaped
    them. 

    Thanks for any and all help.

    Lisa

    
    
    "Fried Green Tomatoes" comes to mind.
    
    Chris

    Re: Reminiscing Elderly
    
         "Ghost Story", if you don't mind a sinister twist.
    
                                       Greg
     

    "Trip to Bountiful"
    
    It's a beautiful story of an elderly woman who tries to return to her
    home in rural Texas before she dies.  
    
    "Driving Miss Daisy"  
    
    "When Harry Met Sally"  Is that the movie where elderly couples explain
    how/where they met?  I always loved those little scenes.
    
    Dancing with the White Dog (?) with Hume Cronin and Jessica Tandy.
    
    You might also want to look up other movies with Cronin and Tandy. I
    seem to remember them doing a movie at the Cape.  
    
    That's all I can think of for now.

    "The Company of Strangers" aka "Strangers in Good Company" is a good
    one.
    
    -Stephen

    "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman (I think - it's been years since
    I've seen it)

    Terrific! Keep 'em coming. 

    Lisa

    Lisa, what about real people?  I have a wonderful video called
    "Crones".  It is elderly Quaker women reminiscing.  You are welcome to
    borrow it.

    In case .35 is still interested, a couple of vintage movies may fit
    the bill:  "The Great Man's Lady" (1942) had Barbara Stanwyck as
    revered pioneer/politician Joel McCrea's 100-year-old widow, whose 
    reminiscences shed light on the legends.  Greer Garson was a similarly 
    feisty widow who recalls life with gambler-turned-mogul Walter Pidgeon
    in 1944's "Mrs. Parkington".

    >Hi. I'm looking for a copy of "Radio Ranch" with Gene Autry.

    I think the movie you are looking for is called "The Phantom Empire".

     I am looking for a movie called  Three Hundred Spartans, this is an
    old movie, perhaps around 1960, 61 timeframe.... I have called Columbia
    House to check there, they don't carry it.....
    
    This movie stars Richard Egan.... if anyone out there has or could give
    me any pointers to check, it would be much appreciated......
    
    This is a True story, about 300 Spartan (Greeks) soldiers holding off 
    an attack by the Turks at the Pass at Thermopolhe... spelling is
    bad....
    
    Columbia House only has Seven Cities of Gold for a Richard Egan film..
