Hi Adriene! I love capers! The partially animated documentary about the legendary Pink Panther gang of jewel thieves is worth a watch.

Hi Adriene, crew, tourists! Quincy Jones also did a great soundtrack in '67 for "The Deadly Affair", a John Le Carré adaptation. www.youtube.com...

Brian: Yeah, that whole Pink Panther gang story is unbelievable, as in literally hard to believe. If I'd seen that in a movie I'd have said "Pfft that is sooo far-fetched!"

anyone know where to find and listen to old radio dramas? i haven't checked youtube yet if that's where they are
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:36pm
mariano:

dreamyandseedy: archive.org has a lot of old stuff like The Shadow, etc. Follow that International Heist link, it'll take you to the archive of those shows.

Oh, has "The Bank Job" been mentioned? That's a really good one, based on a true story. Great ensemble cast: en.wikipedia.org...

There's also "Le Flic" ("The Cop"), great French heist movie with Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, and Richard Crenna. It has a legendary scene of a helicopter being used for a heist on a moving train: en.wikipedia.org...

Yes! Le Flic is great!

The Lavender Hill Mob (first thing I saw which was Alec Guinness pre Obi-Wan.)

Going to miss this show terribly over the summer, hope to hear you again in the fall (aside from next week) www.wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm

Yes, Lavender Hill Mob! The Ladykillers too. Those Ealing comedies with Alec Guinness are the best.

Handy Haversack:

Elgin Marbles, with Dave Mandl on bass, has a song that's just dialogue from the garage scene in The French Connection. Excellent stuff.

Whoa, no -- I had not seen the schedule! Adriene, love your show so much. It's a highlight of the week. Really hope it comes back.

And thanks for tonight!

I'm taking a break over the summer, but should be back in the fall!

Hey Handy, speaking of pants-orbs, do you remember an original-cast SNL skit, Elliott Gould and a couple of the other cast doing this Broadway-ish song-and-dance routine called "The Castration Walk"? Thing I remember most is Elliott Gould saying in falsetto "Officer, I'd like to report a jewel heist!"

Thanks so much Adrienne - will next week be your last show before summer? Gonna miss these adventures! Thanks to the Skeleton Crew, and see y'all later hopefully.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm
Handy Haversack:

Ha! I do, Mariano! Always puts me in mind of a friend of mine who spent a year studying drama in London. Her acting teacher misspoke at one point and instructed her to walk as if she had a melon between her legs (rather than lemon). She did. She's a comedian now.

Wow, no Irwin this year?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57pm
ultradamno:

And Dot Dash is out, which smarts for me.
  6:57pm
adriene:

Next week is my last week before the break.. I think it's going to be a dark one though.
  6:58pm
JakeGould:

The new schedule kicks in on June 8th; so everything else is the same next week unless something wacky happens.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
ultradamno:

I'm good with dark.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
mariano:

Dark is good, sometimes it's just the ticket. Thanks for the heads-up though!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
Handy Haversack:

Really will miss you, adriene. You do amazing stuff. Nothing else like it.
  6:59pm
adriene:

Thanks everyone! See you next week.

Amazing show. What's the thing at the end? The guy yapping about outside classes and lavalier mics?
