Drivel Part of page. Last night I was re-watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie. Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren are the leads, but Diane Baker as Lil really caught my eye on this viewing. So….she now has an UMR page. Some good trivia from this movie. Bruce Dern, in a very small part, has been in a movie with grandma Tippi, mother Melanie and daughter Dakota.

Baseball ref. com has dropped the Baseball oracle. They say only 10000 people checked it out in the past year and they haven’t updated info says 2021.
Baseball trivia question. Solly Hemus managed 3 years in the major leagues (all with 1 team). He never managed against a New York team and pulled this off since World War II. How did he pull this off.
Hey Dan, hope all is going well in your neck of the woods. Marnie, which I watched last night was my 400th movie watched in 2024. Good information on Ms. Baker. Not surprised see is not on the current Oracle list, but dropping from the mid 600s to off the list seems like a huge drop off for one year. As for the Baseball Oracle list being dropped, I guess it is another piece of evidence that baseball is losing so many fans. And now to your trivia question. My first guess was that he was a manager of either the Yankees or the Dodgers. So unless they appeared in the World Series he would not ever manage against a New York team. After having no other guesses, and assuming that was the wrong answer I looked up Solly Hemus. I guess the correct answer is, he managed the Cardinals during the brief time between the Brooklyn Dodgers leaving New York and the Mets coming to town. I read that Solly was part of the coaching staff of the inaugural 40-122 Mets season. Good stuff as always.

Hey Flora. I have seen 10 of her movies. I have only seen three movies made before 1990, and 7 after 1990. I have seen 3 of the 6 you have seen. As for Marnie, it has some good moments, but it is not the best of Sir Alfred. Good stuff as always.
