BRIDELESS GROOM (Colourized) - The Three Stooges (1947)

 You know, there are certain things I don't keep track of, but just kind of assume, like I assume I've seen every episode of "The Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits," and probably every episode of  "The Three Stooges," but I don't honestly know any more. A lot of those viewings were a long time ago! Anyhow, that being said, I was playing a "Three Stooges" online slot the other night, and I didn't remember the exact episode, so I did a Youtube search, and bigger than shit, there it was, and it was in colour! Colourized B&W movies can take you aback if you're not ready for it, and I know a lot of purists hate them, but I have to admit, it looked pretty cool!

So let's get this show on the road already! Here's a great little Stooges tale titled

"Brideless Groom!"

Shemp is a vocal instructor with a very trying student! Give it a shot, and you'll hear what I mean!

Moe has just delivered the news that Shemp has inherited $500,00.00, but there is a catch, he either has to be married or get married in a matter of hours in order to get the money!

He calls every number in his little black book to no avail! Nobody will accept his marriage proposal!

Shemp drops something and because they're stooges, him and Moe get all tangled up inside a phone booth!

Outside Larry meets a girl who is interested in the marriage proposal until she gets a peek at Shemp at his best!

What a set-up for disaster!!

Shemp cleans up pretty good to make a pass at a neighbor who thinks he is a long lost cousin, and she's all over him until she gets a call from her real cousin! Then she blames the whole thing on poor Shemp! Christine McIntyre was a regular in a lot of Stooge shorts like "Punchy Cowpunchers," "Dopey Dicks," and "Three Hams On Rye!"

The only gal who seems to like Shemp is his vocal student Dee Green as Miss Fanny Dinkelmeyer! He doesn't really like her that much himself, but he's willing to do it for the money!

Fanny and Shemp are just about ready to tie the knot.........

.....When Shemp drops the ring inside of this piano!

There was an announcement on the radio that Shemp was going to inherit a fortune, so suddenly all the girls he was calling before now show up and want to marry him to get a piece of the action!

Well, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out where this is all going! The stunning group of ex-girlfriends are Virgina (He Walked By Night) Hunter, Alyn (Blondie Knows Best) Lockwood, Judy (Two Nuts In A Rut) Malcolm, Nancy (The Ghost Talks) Saunders, and Doris (High Blood Pressure) Houck!

In a tussle, this gal ends up with a big hank of Larry's hair!

Doris Houck is the woman who is really putting the pressure on Shemp to marry her!!

Finally Shemp and Fanny are married, and Shemp bolts out of the room yelling "Help, Help!"
All hail Youtube for keeping this stuff alive!

GODZILLA 2000 / Toho Pictures - 1999

Now, here's a great newer Godzilla flick, absolutely one of my favorites. Godzilla returns with a new look and a powered up atomic ray, this time he battles a mysterious UFO that later transforms into a weird Kaiju monster, dubbed Orga. They end up in a final showdown in the Japanese city of Shinjuku.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our monster model shelf, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... GODZILLA 2000!

Here's a scene you never want to be in! Every shot in this movie looks completely realistic.

A scientist discovers a giant odd shaped rock in the ocean, so, he devises a way to raise it to the surface. But, the thing has a mind of its own and soon flies away toward japan.

Then, sensing something is up, our big guy shows up in Japan yet another time... Now what?!

The mysterious transformed alien saucer goes inland, the helicopter following to object is on the verge of being destroyed by sonic waves.

Things get strange, the saucer hovers over a skyscraper, then, changes into one weird looking creature. Toho studios is the master of coming up with unique monsters for us... Wild!!

The scenes of destruction are amazing, every shot looks like you are in a real disaster!

The alien changes again, this time into a really creepy reptile with sharp, giant claws.

It opens up its jaws to reveal a huge reptile mouth that can swallow a whole building!

In a very strange move, Godzilla walks over to the monster and sticks his head full into its mouth!! What the freakin' Hell is going on?!.. Is this the end of our mighty hero?!

Big G actually has a plan!!.. He starts heating things up to like a million degrees!

Then, it causes the monster to blow itself sky high. But, what about Godzilla, did he survive?

Oh Hell yeah!!.. It's a great victory gained in a most unusual manner, but, the perfect ending to a great movie! Be back Wednesday for another new post from Eegah!!

DEVIL'S CARGO - "The Unwritten Law" - Falcon Pictures Corp. (1948)

Saturday the 13th, what does it mean? 

Time to get back to the basics!

"Devil's Cargo" was made in 1948, and lasts just a little over an hour, so they don't have a lot of time to waste! What the F it has to do with the devil's cargo is your guess is as good as mine!

Here's just a taste of the action to get you in the mood!

I'm pretty sure this was meant as a joke, and if it wasn't, then it sure should have been, because I mean, like, how lucky can you get?

This dude watches another guy go from the bank to a bowling alley!

"Devil's Cargo" stars John Calvert as 'The Falcon!' 

The Falcon's dog is named 'Brain Trust!'

John Calvert was not only a good actor but he was also a great magician, and he's able to showcase his magical talents in this role! He's in the Magician's Hall Of Fame, and pulled off one of the biggest tricks of all, living to the age of 102, and performing almost all the way to the end! He just passed away in 2013!

This is an interesting scene where The Falcon explains his uncanny resemblance to real-life magician John Calvert!

Location, location, location!

Rochelle Hudson sure as Hell had an interesting career! She was the voice of Honey, the cartoon character Bosko's girlfriend in the 30's, she was in the classic "Rebel Without A Cause," and in the 60's, she was in "Straight-Jacket," The Night Walker," and "Gallery Of Horror!"

Time for a night out on the town at the Flamingo Club!

I just dig the gal who is sitting at the table's two-tone outfit!

"Devil's Cargo" is a fairly simple tale, but it has a few twists!

It gets pretty exciting after a bomb goes off in a bowling alley locker!

Like what the Hell happened!

The Falcon's landlady has got a crush on him!

The Falcon like a lot of other celluloid heroes has been played by a number of different actors. I've read quite a lot of negative stuff about John Calvert's version, but since I'm not a Falcon purist, I had no problem at all with his portrayal of the character, in fact, I actually liked it!

The magician angle also provides some good clean comedy!

How cool is this? The Falcon drives a classic 1947 Studebaker!

Oh, how I yearn for the good olde days, when there were drivers licenses, not driver licenses, and Pluto was still a planet!

The jig is up!

Over the next couple of years, John Calvert was in two more 'Falcon' movies with pretty exciting titles, "Appointment With Murder," and "Search For Danger!"

It all ends right where it started, with The Falcon in the bathtub smoking a cigarette, but this time he's entertaining a cop instead of a killer!
