If that doesn't work, be somebody else. That's what the middle-aged hero of John Frankenheimer's 1966 film Seconds tried, with unhappy results. Both dramatically and technically it's a neglected tour de force that especially rewards replaying with the commentary Frankenheimer recorded in the late 1990s. For example, he gave up his three-pack-a-day habit after he saw that the cinematographer James Wong Howe, already 60, could climb California hills that left Frankenheimer gasping for breath. ivory chair covers for rentClick on Rock Hudson's photo for my commentary on the Atlantic site.desk and chair nz Located in the San Bernardino Mountains, Big Bear Mountain Resort, is a year - round destination for high energy outdoor experiences.black leather chair with chrome legs

Buster Brown series: Buster's dog to the rescue / Buster Brown series, scene I [Buster's revenge on the tramp] Buster Brown series: Buster's dog to the rescue Buster Brown series, scene I "The opening scene shows Bridget asleep at the kitchen-table, and Buster enters on tip-toe. After tying her apron over her head and to the back of the chair, he tries to reach a jar of jam on the top shelf of the pantry. After several futile attempts, he gives up. His attention is now attracted by a tramp at the window. Buster beckons the fellow to come in through the window, and asks "Weary Willie" to get jam for him. The tramp secures the jam, he places the jar on the table, and proceeds to enjoy the sweets, but neglects to give Buster his share. Whereupon Buster angrily gets up from the table, shakes his finger threateningly at the tramp and goes out, but almost immediately comes back with his mamma and his dog Tige.

Buster's mamma is greatly shocked at the sight, while Buster now sets Tige on the tramp, and in the melee Bridget wakes up, and falls over backwards, chair and all. Buster's mamma releases Bridget from her predicament, and the tramp, with Tige holding on to his coat- tails, makes a hasty retreat through the window. Bridget succeeds in getting hold of her broom and helps him a little. Buster is rewarded by his mamma for getting rid of the tramp, and is given permission to eat all the jam he wants"--Edison films catalog, no. 288, July 1906. Porter, Edwin S., production.
