I’m either falling way behind on UMR’s new pages or they’re popping up more frequently than I remember. Should I blame the necronomicon? 😉
I’ve seen just two Mary Tyler Moore movies – Change of Habit (which features Elvis’s last acting role) and Throughly Modern Millie.
Ordinary People has to be infamous among film buffs as the film that won the Best Picture Oscar instead of Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull that year. On a par with Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Ryan’s Privates?
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….I was trying to average a page a day during May….but I fell short….not too short…but I did not make it. So you are thinking correctly….they were going out fast and furious in May. June will be alot slower. I have seen 4 of her movies….or 33%. I have seen parts of 6 Weeks…..but not sure I saw it from start to finish…..that one is a depressing movie for sure. I am not surprised you saw the Elvis/Moore movie. As for Ordinary People over Raging Bull..not thinking as many people fell that way…but I agree some do. I think Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction might top both of them. Good stuff as always.
Thoroughly Modern Millie was one of those pics I was dragged to as a kid. Mary never had much of a film career, but how many people can say they made movies with Elvis, Rowan and Martin and Ernie Kovacs. You know even though Elvis made the top 10 box office stars of the year a number of times he never had a # 1 film. Pat Boone had a # 1 film, so what’s up Elvis.

Hey Dan. So you got dragged to see Thoroughly Modern Millie. There are so many other George Roy Hill movies to get dragged to…lol. Interesting that Pat Boone had a #1 hit while Elvis did not. Boone is a Joel subject….which means one day soon….Boone will be the featured page of the week. As you say, her movie career was pretty minimal compared to her historic television career. Still as you say….she still worked with some pretty good thespians. Good stuff as always.
