What Was That Film? / A Old 1950s movie. Where a guy...
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 30, 2026, 03:27:42 PMI only saw about twenty minutes of the movie. I think it was made in the 1950s — most likely late 1950s. It was in color, sort of the same kind of looking color at the Movie The Searchers. I believe too that this was a John Wayne movie. It is possible though that this was from that Kirk Douglass and Anthony Quinn movie, Last Train from Gun Hill.
I believe strongly that this was a John Wayne movie though. I remember a scene where there is an old guy out on his porch with his dog. And some people come up to him and approach him. I think they were wanting to know something or get some information about something. And they saw this guy's dog. And they said something like that is a nice dog. And the old man was like, Oh thank you. And then they say, what is the dog's name. And the guy says, His name is dog. And the people sort of look at each other befuddled and they say something like, seriously what is the dog's name. And the guy comes back more cantankerous, I said his name is "Dog! What is their something wrong with your hearing!" At least that is how I remember the scene. The main question though is what is the name of it.
Points that I am almost hundred percent sure about, but I could be wrong about!
——> It's a John Wayne movie (any movie from like the 1950s that looks a certain way and has a certain feel to it and definitely if it is a western I might say it's a John Wayne movie. Without confirming it. It is possible it was Last Train from Gun Hill, but I really think it was some John Wayne movie. Probably not one of his better known ones.)
——> That it is a western (It could be one of those stoic sort of like Dust bowl type of movies. And the way it was shot, sort of rustic and in old farm locations I might have assumed it was a western.
Appreciate the help. The internet has been no help at all on this one. It has been like the sting of a thousand cobras. I guess even the internet is turning into Grumpy cat these days. With trying to find out information.

Last post by Trevor - August 30, 2026, 10:59:08 AMQuote from: M.10rda on August 30, 2026, 10:32:41 AMThe creepy (and oddly designed) house from LOST HIGHWAY that Bill Pullman lives in was apparently David Lynch's real home. If I was Mrs. Lynch (maybe Mary Sweeney at the time?) I'd be nervous about going to bed at night. Lynch also shot scenes for INLAND EMPIRE in his backyard. A real DIY kinda' guy.
You just made me go 😳 with that info. I didn't know that.

Last post by Rev. Powell - August 30, 2026, 10:41:22 AMQuote from: M.10rda on August 30, 2026, 10:16:07 AMENTR'ACTE (1924):
Dadaists were the punks of the post-WW1 era and their heyday was the 1920s. Like Lear, Johnny Rotten, or George Costanza, they promoted a philosophy that Nothing meant anything or that everything meant Nothing. Although their two self-appointed spokesmen were a couple of snotty yet initially sincere young hipsters named Andre Breton and Tristan Tzara, an art movement that denied the inherent meaning of art or life naturally attracted all manner of artists of all ages, including photographer Man Ray (who literally objectified the body of his mistress/model Alice Prin), 3D artist Marcel Duchamps (who sold and displayed "readymades", which were just urinals and other junk that he found and signed), filmmaker Rene Clair, poet Francis Picabia, composers Georges Auric and Erik Satie, and eventually painter Rene Magritte and legendary lunatics Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali. They'd hold "salons" in French cafes and theaters - basically art shows with spoken word and music and theatre and films - all of it supposedly meaning Nothing. Of course, as Costanza eventually had to admit, Nothing is really Something! Thus the movement fractured and officially collapsed.
Anyway - ENTR'ACTE is one of the short films that Clair made for and premiered at a Dada salon. It's 22 minutes long and has no plot, but - it does have motifs, reoccurring characters, camera tricks, stunts, slapstick comedy, men in drag, frenetic editing like that in Marcel L'Herbier's L'INHUMAINE (or TETSUO THE IRON MAN), a first-person ride on a rollercoaster, and an ending that is quite similar to the end of Jodorowski's THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, only silent. Basically it's a lot like a wordless episode of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and it's a lot more fun than UN CHIEN ANDALOU.
Auric, Duchamps, Ray, and Satie all appear, and it's incredible for any student of Dada or surrealism to see all these guys clowning around onscreen. Picabia also appears, memorably, and co-wrote ENTR'ACTE w/ Clair. Breton and Tzara are notably absent. They allegedly found "older" artists like Auric and Satie and Picabia (who was maybe in his 40s) to be incredibly uncool. Nevertheless Picabia looks like James Murphy or 80s Peter Gabriel in ENTR'ACTE and one Letterboxd reviewers calls him "punk as f**k", so Take That, hipsters.
Clair made the pretty awesome silent sci-fi adventure THE CRAZY RAY a couple years after this. Then he went to Hollywood and made mainstream studio films for 35 years. I'm sure some of his Dada cronies thought he was a huge cop-out, but it's hard to believe in Nothing! Nevertheless, ENTR'ACTE is an amazing one-of-a-kind document of an era. 5/5 And a (cannon) blast!
Pedantry: you're conflating the Dadaists (1916-1924, anti-art art) and the Surrealists (1924-1966+, art informed by the subconscious). There are several artists, like Duchamp and Man Ray, who belong to both movements. That said, to my shame, I haven't seen ENTR'ACTE, which is Dada made at the time Surrealism was just rising and starting to overtake it.
