  1. hate to see the Best Foreign Film at the Oscars go unnoticed
    According to
    The Foreign Film Renaissance on American Screens, 1946–1973
    By Tino Balio
    page 272
    “The Shop on Main Street”
    grossed 3 million
    Very high RT and IMDB ratings.
    It seem outrageous that such a film isn’t on any streaming source that I can locate.

  4. HI BRUCE

    The Appaloosa was never a title that I liked. I prefer Southwest to Sonora, which the film went by over here; so I have it listed in my own database under the latter title. Nobody’s gonna Americanize ME!

    Full marks to Sidney for spotting the slight error though; it’s good to see that I have a kindred spirit who loves total correctness! It must be said however that even negligible errors are rare on Cogerson, and though I enjoy trying to wind you up – usually without success- when you do inevitably make a small one, this site’s record for almost 100% correctness across such a massive volume of diverse historical and topical material is amazing and should be acknowledged. As the cliché goes “It’s the exception that proves the rule.”

    “Between the outlaw and the outlaw, the wanton and the wanted — lay the violent land Southwest to Sonora!”

    1. Thanks Bob. Good information on Southwest to Sonora/The Appaloosa. Sidney has been finding lots of title errors on UMR. I figure the more he finds them, the less errors on the website…so I am very grateful for his efforts (and yours)/ I am sure most of those errors are me thinking I correctly remember the title name when I am typing the title into the database…and then screwing up the title when I type it in. I guess I need to copy and paste more. Good stuff as always…and now college awaits me.
