Michael Landon's Performance as the Albino in "God's Little Acre"

What would be my answer to the question, "So, what would get your vote as the worst performance in cinematic history?"

OK, so I have not seen this movie. I do however, own the soundtrack CD. It is a limited edition of just 1000 units and is now sold out.

No need to dispair, however... I have ONE extra sealed copy which I am selling on Amazon. Follow this link and choose "Perquinn" as the merchant you'd like to buy from (perquinn is the ID I use on Amazon and on ebay).

You can also buy from me directly at a 8% discount (Amazon charges me 15 percent). For details regarding how to do that please visit this link.

Tony Curtis in Black Shield of Falworth...."yonder lies the castle of my father" in a thick NY accent.

It's a terrible adaptation of a classic book, wd. In this instance, I would probably have to say, stick with the music.............I've never seen that one, Russ. I agree, though, it does sound like atrocious casting. As for Mr. Curtis's better roles, I would probably have to go with "The Defiant Ones" and "Sweet Smell of Success" (his turn as the slimy Sidney Falco was magnificent.

Good choice! If you want to order from me though Amazon remember to buy from "Perquinn". If you want to buy from me directly I'm willing to cut a deal beyond the 8 percent off I previously offered.

I'm also willing to cut an even better deal if you're interested in buying multiple CDs.

Please see my Amazon storefront for a list of the titles I am currently selling. I can be contacted using the email given in my blogger profile.

I accept payment (for direct purchases) through Paypal. If you submit payment today I can have your CD in the mail tomorrow!

I'm listening to "God's Little Acre" right now... it's a great score by Elmer Bernstein.

The CD producer says, "Elmer Bernstein created one of his early classics with his score to God's Little Acre. From its infectious title song to the Americana-filled tonal colors, to the cues dripping with lush and gorgeous themes, Bernstein makes the film seethe with sensuality, humor, and pathos".

Do you listen to classical music, too? Bedrich Smetana - my buddy and I listened to him one night over a couple of brewskis. It was scintillating.

Not really, no.
