O/T What's the last oldie film you watched you've seen before?

The Graduate was excellent first time out. Was there some kind of a rom com follow up made more recently where it goes into the background of the characters?

There was "Rumour Has It" (Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner) which played on the idea that a girl finds out that her mother and grandmother may have been the inspiration for Charles Webb to write the book "The Graduate" in 1963.

Charles Webb also wrote a sequel to "The Graduate" called "Home School" which picks up on the same themes as the first book with Elaine and Benjamin now married and Mrs Robinson comes to stay...Webb sold the film rights but nothing came of it.

There've been some TV shows that have been tangential spin-offs of the original story without being specific about the origins.

Charles Webb, the author of the book, died just last year. He and his wife were rather sad old eccentric Californians (she more than him) who lived out their last years in self-imposed poverty - in Eastbourne of all places.

The Abominable Dr Phibes. Enough ham to make an omelette, but great fun.

Just a Good film, always remembered the music.

Watch " The Jackal " last week, starring Edward Fox, seen it many times, but thought
a decent film.
On the television again today.

Thanks CT. Yes that is the film

Just read up on the Webbs. Strange lifestyle but probably very happy.

It was a great line. That’s why Tessio asked Tom if he could get him off the hook as it was just business.

Did you know that Johnny Fontaine was played by Al Martino who was a top singer in his own right.
His major hit was in 1965 with “Spanish Eyes”

I found the sequel to be as good as, and perhaps even better than the original. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were fantastic.

Did you know that Robert De Niro's Italian is very good but Al Pacino's is terrible?

Psycho is one film I find myself watching quite often. Visited the set at Universal Studios in LA but not quite as chilling as the film.

Talking of horrors. The full 90+ minutes of the Coventry game are available on ESPN+ replay if anyone wants to watch
