Harvest Home and...Hi Jack - thanks for stopping by!<br />Harvest Home and The Other are awesome horror stories, in my opinion on a par with Ira Levin and Stephen King. Tryon's other genre is legends of old Hollywood: Crowned Heads and All That Glitters are both awesome too. <br /><br />I too am LOVING Feud with Bette and Joan! It's a winner...<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-23539112175939270402017-04-03T20:21:17.555-07:002017-04-03T20:21:17.555-07:00I will soon be reading "The Other" and &...I will soon be reading "The Other" and "Harvest Home" after recently discovering Tom Tryon. I'm discovering something new every day it seems. I had no idea that there was a TV adaptation of "Harvest Home". I am also a big fan of Bette Davis and am really enjoy the new TV series "Feud" about Joan Crawford and her. Great show!

I suspect they shot this film on a quickie TV-like schedule, too. <br /><br />I LOVE the idea of a remake of this one..the movie falls short of doing justice to Tom Tryon's original story, due to the lackluster elements we've angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-66399226147044787862015-02-20T14:33:51.684-08:002015-02-20T14:33:51.684-08:00Hi Chris (again)

My rapidly-fading memory is usually a point of consternation with me, but in this instance, remembering very little of of this film paid off in that it confirms that the mystery side of the film is as solid as ever. <br />In fact, the mystery is so compelling you wish it were presented with more visual distinction.<br />Doesn't Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-25790598007663169682015-02-06T21:33:07.720-08:002015-02-06T21:33:07.720-08:00Hi Ken - I hope you do enjoy this upon your next v...Hi Ken - I hope you do enjoy this upon your next viewing...I am indeed impressed with Marthe Keller...recently watched Marathon Man too, and I understand her appeal, tough she is a bit remote and Teutonic, the opposite of most American female stars of the mid to late 70s...<br /><br />If you get a chance, also read the story in Tom Tryon's Crowned Heads on which it is based...I actually read angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-52417726416202956262015-02-06T17:02:58.636-08:002015-02-06T17:02:58.636-08:00What a treat seeing your post about this film!

I saw it way back when it came out and remember thinking it looked so much like it should have been a mini-series or "Special Two-Night Event" movie (which were all the rage then). <br />I think it had to do with the fact that it was one of the few nostalgia-based films of the time not to use that diffused light and "flashing" Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-80362582928290329372015-02-06T12:08:39.647-08:002015-02-06T12:08:39.647-08:00I'll definitely look for it!I'll definitely look for it!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-65754440167242916962015-02-05T09:32:34.024-08:002015-02-05T09:32:34.024-08:00Hey William - yes, I think this is worth a second ...Hey William - yes, I think this is worth a second look. Your friend is right, Marthe Keller is a damned good actress...apparently in recent years she has been enjoying some success in theater on the stages of Europe...good for her! Michael York does indeed play himself in a one-scene cameo. And the recent news about Stephen Collins came as a shock to me, too. <br />I hope I have piqued your angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-67960493047714413062015-02-05T09:06:39.459-08:002015-02-05T09:06:39.459-08:00Haven't seen this one since it opened, and I&#...Haven't seen this one since it opened, and I'd like to see it again to see what I think of it now. If I recall correctly, Michael York played himself, and every time he appeared these two guys sitting in front of me would giggle -- they just seemed to find it hilarious that he was playing "Michael York."<br /><br />As for Stephen Collins -- I don't shock easily but I was Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.com
