Oscar winner Christopher Plummer made his feature debut in "Stage Struck" (1958), Sidney Lumet's remake of Zoe Akins' 1933 stage play: the start of a career that spans over five decades and includes substantial roles in film, television, and theatre: http://www.christopherplummer.eu/Introduction.php

Network is my favorite film of all time. Sidney Lumet was truly a fantastic Director and his work will live on forever. RIP.

Disagree with notes on "Sea Gull." Simone Signoret is miscast, but Vanessa Redgrave and James Mason are the best Nina and Treplev I've seen, Warner is terrific in a nearly impossible part, and the supporting cast is very strong.

I don\’t remember the morning after being *that* bad, but then again, I was probably 10 when I saw it. Also, why was I watching this movie at age 10?

Leah, if you manage to get any fun out of that one, let me know. And let me know how.

I realize that the reviewer\’s intention was not to generate MORE interest in \”The Morning After\” … but on that premise alone, I just upped it to #1 on my Netflix Queue.

Ha, I will Chris. But when it comes to 80s-era cinema, I just can\’t get enough vaseline-lensed dinner dates and young Jeff Bridges-es — so I have a feeling I\’mgonnaloveit.

Awesome writeup! I love it. Lumet was one of my first big inspirations to become a filmmaker, and this is a fitting, beefy tribute to a man with a beefy body of work.

Note: Rod Steiger did not win an Oscar for ON THE WATERFRONT as noted above. Edmond O\’Brien won that year for THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA. Steiger won only for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.
