The Magic Continues
The good films, the magic continues, doesn't it? I hope you've enjoyed To Have and Have Not tonight.
What a pleasure to see that again after so long.
It has been a long time, many years actually, since I think it's played at a good time on television.
Now, I showed you this book earlier tonight. This is the paperback. It's published by Gordon and Gotch in Australia,
with the likeness of Humphrey Bogart on the cover. It's a Panther paperback.
I got this one at the Graham Book Company. And it's not a very expensive paperback.
And by the way, apropos of nothing, but that I think it's a fantastic novel, and I love to tell people about it,
I discovered that there were supplies of this. And I know that Graham's is the only place that it's got it.
Charles Templeton's novel, Act of God, which I believe is going to be made into a film.
And this is an old stock paperback. It's not expensive.
So if you happen to be going near the Mid-City Centre, Graham Book Company store, ask to have a look at that one.
It's a beautiful edition. It's not very expensive. And that novel is mind-bending, a mind-bending thriller,
the like of which has stuck in my mind since I first read it some time ago.
Now, I've got to show you something else because I received this in the mail the other day,
and I don't know who sent it to me. And I'm asking the person to please ring me up and tell me who you are,
or drop me a note. I was delighted to receive this photograph of the Republic logo.
Thank you very much, sir. I presume it's the gentleman that sent it to me. He had a little note in there for me,
but no name. So will you please get in touch and let me know who you are so I can thank you personally.
I do appreciate that photograph. As a matter of fact, I think I might even put that one in a frame.
I rather like that Republic Studios eagle, which I showed, of course, a few weeks ago when I presented Johnny Guitar.
When I showed Flame of the Barbary Coast, I don't think we had the eagle at the front of that, did we?
I just can't recall offhand. Well, good things coming up. Next Friday night, the first film is Camelot,
directed by Joshua Logan, a very, very beautiful production. Isn't the artwork lovely? There it is.
Camelot, next Friday night. And that'll be followed by a Mitchell Leeson film for Paramount
that will have you on the edge of your seat. No man of her own, released in Australia originally as The Lie
with Barbara Stanwyck, John Lund, and Jane Cowell, an actress who only made very few movies
that she will knock you out when you see her in No Man of Her Own. Incidentally, this involved a stunt, this film,
with Phyllis Thaxter and Barbara Stanwyck, which will also put your hair on end. And that's our program next Friday night.
Next Saturday night, of course, the great, the magnificent Errol Flynn with Basil Rathbone, Donald Crisp, and David Niven
in Edmund Goulding's The Dawn Patrol. Great movies, plenty of them on Channel 10. I look forward to your company next Friday and Saturday night.
Good night, and do have a very, very happy weekend.
["The Dawn Patrol Theme Song"]
comes a horseman starring James Khan, Jane Fonda, Jim Davis of Dallas and
Jason Robards.
He was always watching me.
He was forbid to go near him.
But I'd be out somewhere and he'd be there just looking at me.
Sorry all this had to happen.
Sometimes things just work out that way.
Yah! Yah! Yah!
I don't want to have to ruin you, villain.
You're gonna have to kill me.
It's her land they're fighting for.
It's her love they're killing for.
For the ruthless cattle baron, not being able to have her or her land meant that he had to destroy both.
Comes a horseman to fight for land, love for life itself.
For the first time on television, comes a horseman.
Sunday's Movie of the Week, 8.30 here on 10.
Stay home with me for four great nights when Channel 10 presents the spectacle of Masada.
Masada, the story of two cultures locked in deadly conflict in the last hours of the Jewish rebellion against Rome.
The story of two men in a classic confrontation of faith versus duty.
The ground you occupy is the property and territory of the Emperor, Senate and people of Rome.
In their name I order you to depart from it.
Ah! Now!
I have warned you once, and one warning is all that he allows.
Your country is one long and narrow graveyard already.
Give us our due man, we know how to kill.
As long as one of us is alive, and remembers how to start a fire or hold a sword, this war will go on.
Starring Peter O'Toole.
We cannot keep doing this! We are leading the league, we are not barbarians!
Peter Strauss, Barbara Carrera, Anthony Quayle and Timothy West.
Here we are.
We were the very first to stand against them.
Now it seems we are the last to stand against them.
Masada, the fortress of freedom, comes to Channel 10 over four successive nights.
Monday to Thursday at 7.30.
Starting Monday brought to you by Toyota.
BJ's bitten by the gambling bug and Hawkeye's bugged by the war in the new one-hour series of MASH, Sunday 7.30.
This is Channel 10.
Starting Monday and in two-hour blocks over four consecutive nights, Peter O'Toole and Peter Strauss star in Masada.
For four years a tiny community held off the mighty power of Rome.
Masada is the epic story of that battle.
It premieres on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights at 7.30 on Channel 10.
Well, for now it's time for us to go until we return at 7.30 in the morning.
And until then, from all of us here at 10, we wish you a very good night.
Thank you.
