Director Michelangelo Antonionni made fine use of Page's Tennessee Waltz in Zabriskie Point, his only American film, in the scene where the hippie girl visits a bar full of old timers wasting away in a little desert town overunned by wild, mentally retarded children from the city.
Grace Jones also recorded a cover of She's Lost Control.
Most worthwhile show on tonight: TCM- After The Thin Man with Powell and Loy as Nick and Nora Charles swilling martinis and solving a mystery on New Year's Eve in San Francisco.
My dad took me to see Watership Down when it first came out in the theaters. I was 12 or so at the time. I really liked the movie and wasn't scared or traumatized by it. I was given the book and I read it 12 times in a row. As soon as I finished it, I go back to page 1. I was obsessed. Still one of my favorite…

Garbo's last film, Two Faced Woman, where she performs a Rhumba, was sold as "Garbo Dances". Needless to say, the law of diminishing returns kicked in—the movie flopped and Garbo pretty much gave up on her career.

Another classic: In 1927 MGM filmed Anna Karennia with John Gilbert and Greta Garbo who were engaging in a hot affair that was getting a lot publicity. MGM changed the title of the movie to "Love" and sold it as "John Gilbert and Greta Garbo are in Love".

I always liked the tag line to see Gilda (1946) with Rita Hayworth: There Never Was a Woman Like Gilda.

The 1976 version of Sparkle didn't star Diana Ross, it starred Irene Cara and Lonette McKee. The girl group in Sparkle is based, sort of, on Diana Ross and the Supremes.

How about the Saul Bass designed credits sequence for the trashy 1962 movie Walk on the Wild Side?

In the 60s Motown released some of the oddest live albums on their acts like The Supremes and The Temptations. The shows were recorded at nightclubs in which they performed show tunes and their Motown hits were rearranged as big band/Vegas style medleys, all to appeal to middle aged white people.
