Offtopic Perspective
50-Movie Classic Musicals, Part 1
Fifty musicals for $15-$20. What could that mean? You're not going to get spectaculars like West Side Story, Oklahoma, The Music Man for that kind of money (I'm seeing some cost-effective collections of deluxe two-disc editions of such musicals, though—like six of them for $70 or less). As I go through these, it may be interesting to see how "musical" is defined—it can be a picture about music or musicians (real or fictional) so that lots of music gets included, a picture with a regular plot that has lots of music (well-integrated into the plot or otherwise), a musical revue on film—and maybe other things. This set has four or five duplications with other 50-movie packs I've reviewed, but three of the four I'm sure of are quite good movies, so that's OK.
Mill Creek Entertainment continues the erratic spelling of the medium these movies appear on: "Disk" (wrong) on the sleeves, "Disc" (right) on the discs themselves. As with all 50-movie packs, assume VHS-level transfers, frequently from mildly-damaged originals, with no special features and (always) four scene divisions per title (most packs now have intelligent scene breaks, not just an arbitrary quarter of the length). If there are enough missing frames to reduce the run length by more than a minute from what appears in IMDB, I give the actual DVD run time in [square brackets]. The dollar rating at the end of each mini-review is fairly forgiving and ranges from $0 to $2.50, although anything over $2 is rare. A buck or more means I think the movie is worth watching and might conceivably watch it again. $1.50 or more means I think the movie would be worth buying as a bargain DVD on its own.
The Fabulous Dorseys, 1947, b&w, Alfred E. Green (dir.), Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Janet Blair, Paul Whiteman, Bob Eberly, Helen O'Connell, Art Tatum, William Lundigan. 1:28.
The Dorseys aren't much as actors, and the plot may be realistic but still comes off a bit hokey—but it doesn't matter. Great music by great musicians, including a first-rate jam session with Art Tatum. Pretty decent print quality, and the sound track's more than good enough. Worth watching just for the musical numbers. $1.50.
Calendar Girl, 1947, b&w, Allan Dwan (dir.), Jane Frazee, William Marshall, Gail Patrick, Kenny Baker, Victor McLaglen, Franklin Pangborn. 1:28 [1:20]
Cute plot, good musical numbers, but the sound's badly damaged in portions and the picture's pretty frayed as well. I'd give this $1.25 in a decent transfer, but can't go higher than $0.75 under the circumstances.
Sunny, 1941, b&w, Herbert Wilcox (dir.), Anna Neagle, Ray Bolger, John Carroll, Edward Everett Horton, Grace Hartman, Paul Hartman, Martha Tilton. 1:38 [1:35].
This one also suffers from a badly damaged print, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable flick nonetheless—this time with a plot that actually drives the movie. Sunny Sullivan's a circus performer (singer, horseback rider) who meets up with the wealthy scion of an automaker during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. They get engaged. The circus friends (Ray Bolger and crew) show up at the wedding and she runs away with them—but of course love conquers all: It's a musical! Even with the damage, this one's worth $1.25.
Swing Hostess, 1944, b&w, Sam Newfield (dir.), Martha Tilton, Iris Adrian, Charles Collins, Betty Brodel, Cliff Nazarro, Harry Holman. 1:16.
Martha Tilton was a vocalist for Benny Goodman and is absolutely first rate as a singer and more than good enough as an actress. As with Calendar Girl, this one's partly set in a "struggling artist" apartment house—this time with lots of novelty acts (magician, acrobats). The plot hinges on a situation that could only have happened during a few years: The master disks on which records are directly cut are so expensive that a recording studio head (and masher) insists on using the rest of a disk that Tilton's already cut a demo on—and her half gets released as though by the (awful-sounding) girl the head brings in. Hijinks ensue (this is most definitely a comedy), and of course it all works out. The most interesting part here: "Telephone jukeboxes" in restaurants, where you put in a coin, pick up a phone, and tell the operator what tune you want, at which point she plays the disc on one of several turntables at the central station. I can only assume this actually happened. Not great but quite good. $1.25.
I hope this is the most problematic disc in the set. Every movie on this disc poses one problem or another, at least as part of a set of musicals. Read on. You'll see what I mean.
Dixiana, 1930, b&w (with color finale that's not on the disc), Luther Reed (dir.), Bebe Daniels, Everett Marshall, Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Joseph Cawthorn, Bill Robinson. 1:40 [1:25]
Woman who sings and does other acts in a circus performing in New Orleans meets up with a wealthy high-society fellow right around Mardi Gras. They get engaged. Circus friends show up at a high-society gathering and embarrass her, so she runs away. Sound a little bit like Sunny? (Check out Disc 1.) It's not.
What it is, is a complete mess—that might have been redeemed by the 15 minutes missing from this transfer, presumably the 2-strip Technicolor finale that includes a three-minute tap dance sequence by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. That finale might also resolve the plot—but it's just not here. What is here includes a long Wheeler & Woolsey comedy routine that's apparently just about the only film of them (and suggests that tastes in comedy have changed a lot in 75 years!), some other musical numbers of indifferent quality, and a plot that might have been moderately interesting if it hadn't simply disappeared. A shame. Very generously (there's some good comic interplay within the movie itself, and some decent music), $0.75.
Palooka, 1934, b&w, Benjamin Stoloff (dir.), Jimmy Durante, Lupe Velez, Stuart Erwin, William Cagney, Robert Armstrong, Thelma Todd. 1:26.
It's a decent comedy based on the comic strip, with Joe Palooka as a sort of accidental boxer (son of a boxing champ who abandoned the family for the high life) and Jimmy Durante as his manager. But it's simply not a musical: There are two, count them, two songs total. One is an odd song-and-dance number by Lupe Velez wearing an outfit that's clearly "pre-code Hollywood"; the other Durante's signature tune. A good cast—and I would have sworn that was a young James Cagney as the champ Palooka (Erwin) defeats and is later defeated by, until I read the credits: It's his lookalike brother. $1.
Glorifying the American Girl, 1929, b&w (and color, but not on the disc), John W. Harkrider & Millard Webb (dir.), Mary Eaton, Dan Healy, Kaye Renard, Edward Crandall, Eddie Cantor, Helen Morgan, Rudy Vallee, Noah Beery, Irving Berlin, Billie Burke, Texas Guinan, Otto Kahn, Ring Lardner, Jimmy Walker, Johnny Weissmuller, Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. 1:27. [1:34!]
With Dixiana, I didn't notice the "Technicolor" claims in opening credits, so I was mostly disappointed by the lapsed plot and fact that Bill Robinson didn't show up as a dancer (albeit claimed on the sleeve). This time, I did notice the claim, so I was disappointed: If there's any color anywhere in this flick, I couldn't detect it. There's plenty of music and comedy, of course: Much of the picture is a Ziegfeld review, including a Cantor comedy routine and songs by Helen Morgan and Rudy Vallee (sax strapped over his shoulder but never touched during the song). The rest of those stars? Mostly cameos on their way into the theater. The plot, such as it is, lacks resolution, but it's not all that important anyway. Not great, not bad. $0.75.
Check and Double Check, 1930, b&w, Melville W. Brown (dir.), Freeman F. Gosden, Charles J. Correll, Irene Rich, Duke Ellington and the Cotton Club Orchestra. 1:17.
The most difficult of the four, for reasons that folks knowledgeable with entertainment history may have spotted already. Here's my advice, if you happen to have access to this disc:
Go to the second scene, about minute 27 overall. Most of the next 11 minutes are performances by Duke Ellington and orchestra, including a full-length big-band jazz number nicely filmed and one of Ellington's first (and few) filmed performances. That segment is worth watching. Skip the rest of the movie.
Otherwise, well, there's a huge problem here in the persons of Gosden, Correll, and another actor. It's a problem that makes an otherwise poorly-plotted degrading race comedy into something even less watchable. Ever hear of Amos 'n' Andy? If you ever saw the TV series, they were dumb and played as stereotypes, but they were good hearted and the cast was all black. Here, though, the originators and radio stars played the roles—and Gosden and Correll are both white, playing in full minstrel-show blackface. The only semi-redeeming thing I can say about this is that, according to Wikipedia, the two were offered the chance for a sequel and turned it down—and Gosden later called the movie "just about the worst movie ever." Here's an appalling factoid if you believe Wikipedia (I see no reason not to): Although the critics and Gosden and Correll hated the movie, it was RKO's biggest-grossing film until King Kong in 1933. Oh yes: The soundtrack's noisy, but not too bad during the Duke Ellington sequence. I'd give this a flat zero except for Ellington, who earns it a big $0.25.
This one's more like it. Four black-and-white movies about and featuring music, all with all-black casts, all marketed primarily to black audiences. Which may be why only one of the four is otherwise available on DVD—and that only because The Duke is Tops, Lena Horne's first movie appearance, was reissued years later after she became a star and is available on a twofer DVD. The prints vary from very good (with missing frames) to poor. But the music? Ah, the music!
Paradise in Harlem, 1939, b&w, Joseh Seiden (dir.), Mamie Smith, Norman Astwood, Edna Mae Harris, Merritt Smith, Francine Everett, Percy Verwayen, Babe and Eddie Matthews. 1:25.
The plot centers on a would-be dramatic actor who's stuck doing blackface (yes, a black actor doing blackface in a Harlem club, playing Uncle Tom), who witnesses a mob hit. The mob tells him to get out of town, which he does, becoming a traveling drunk. Eventually, he comes back, gets the chance to do Othello, and comes to a remarkable scenic climax with the aid of impromptu a cappella gospel (and an absurd ending to the crime plot). Quite a bit of excellent music along the way. Some damage. $1.25.
The Duke is Tops, 1938, b&w, William L. Nolte (dir.), Ralph Cooper, Lena Horne, Laurence Criner. 1:13 [1:15!]
Lena Horne's first movie, as a singer in shows produced by her boyfriend—until she (and only she) gets a chance at Broadway. He trumps up a scene so she'll leave him and goes to work with a traveling medicine show—eventually coming back to rescue her from a bad show and make everything right. This one's also mostly music and some comedy (Cooper does a fine medicine-show routine). Lena Horne was still young and a bit low on star power, but the music's nonetheless excellent. $1.50
Reet, Petite and Gone, 1947, b&w, William Forest Crouch (dir.), Louis Jordan (and the Tympany Five), June Richmond, Bea Griffith. 1:07 [1:10].
The plot doesn't amount to much—rich dying father, industrious bandleader son, wicked lawyer, faithful butler, daughter of the father's first love—but it also doesn't take up much time. This movie is really about music—14 complete songs filmed head-on, with good sound and a good picture. If you want to nitpick, the dancers in one or two numbers seem to be doing random steps, but who cares? Jordan's a showman, the music's first-rate, and this one's all about the music. Even with a few missing frames, I give this a solid $2. I'll watch it again.
Killer Diller, 1948, b&w, Josh Binney (dir.), Dusty Fletcher, Butterfly McQueen, Jackie "Moms" Mabley, Ken Renard, Nat 'King' Cole and the King Cole Trio, and many more. 1:13.
The sleeve talks about a "loose storyline," and that's almost an exaggeration—it involves a show producer, his fiancée, a slapstick magician, four very slapstick cops, and maybe 10-12 minutes total of what's essentially a filmed revue. (Butterfly McQueen's only in the "plot" portion.) Moms Mabley is cleaner than I'd expect (but it is a movie), Nat King Cole is—well, Nat King Cole, even if he's doing lesser-known numbers. Other musicians, dancers, and singers keep it going—including one great performance of "Ain't Nobody's Business But Mine." Unfortunately, there are continuous projector-damage lines throughout the film, and the soundtrack's even distorted at times, which reduces this hour+ of comedy, dancing, and mostly music to $1.25.
Delightfully Dangerous, 1945, b&w, Arthur Lubin (dir.), Jane Powell, Ralph Bellamy, Constance Moore, Morton Gould and his orchestra, Arthur Treacher. 1:32. [1:30]
15-year-old Cheryl (Jane Powell) is a music student who wants to make it in theater—just like her older sister (Moore). Turns out Moore's really a burlesque performer. Cheryl pays a surprise visit to New York. Hijinks ensue. Good musical numbers, decent plot, fine performances by all concerned—but there's some distortion in the sound track for the first half, unfortunate for a musical. That brings it down to $1.25.
Private Buckaroo, 1942, b&w, Edward F. Cline (dir.), the Andrews Sisters, Dick Foran, Joe E. Lewis, Shemp Howard, Harry James, Donald O'Connor, Huntz Hall, Mary Wilkes, Ernest Treux. 1:08.
Shemp Howard was much better on his own than as part of the Three Stooges, in my opinion, and he shines in this wartime flick as a sergeant who has trouble with his supposed girlfriend. The real plot: Harry James gets drafted and his group all enlist to stay with their leader. There's another draftee who's not willing to obey orders. The plot makes as much sense as any of these war-promotion flicks, and there's a great running gag: Harry James, an amazing trumpeter, can't get the hang of the Army bugle. The middle Andrews Sister is a bit much for my taste, but overall there's good non-slapstick comedy, great music, and a generally decent print. $1.50.
Stage Door Canteen, 1943, b&w, Frank Borzage (dir.), Judith Anderson, Tallulah Bankhead, Ralph Bellamy, Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, Ray Bolger, Katharine Cornell, Gracie Fields, Lynn Fontanne, Helen Hayes, Katharine Hepburn, Jean Hersholt, George Jessel, Gypsy Rose Lee, Alfred Lunt, Harpo Marx, Elsa Maxwell, Yehudi Menuhin, Ethel Merman, Paul Muni, Merle Oberon, George Raft, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Ethel Waters, Johnny Weissmuller, Ed Wynn, William Demarest, Count Basie, Xavier Cugat, Benny Goodman, Kay Kyser, Guy Lombardo and many more stars of stage and screen (I'm not kidding…Peggy Lee doesn't even get a credit). 2:12 [1:52]
First the bad news: The print isn't as good as it might be (some ghost images), although the soundtrack's fine—and apparently a few minutes are missing. Oh, and the plot's not compelling. But the plot's mostly a way to show off an astonishing cavalcade of stars, either performing on stage or acting as waiters and the like—just like the real Stage Door Canteen and Hollywood Canteen (although it's hard to believe they got quite such an impressive concentration every night). If you know stage, screen and music of the 1940s, there's probably another 30 people I should have listed here. Supposedly, this is Katharine Cornell's only screen appearance (a cameo). Katharine Hepburn singing The Lord's Prayer (very well). Yehudi Menuhin playing two numbers, one of them Flight of the Bumble Bee. Benny Goodman playing clarinet as if he invented it. And so much more. Thoroughly enjoyable, wartime propaganda and all. Even with a second-rate print, this gets $2.25.
Career Girl, 1944, b&w, Wallace Fox (dir.), Frances Langford, Edward Norris, Iris Adrian, Craig Woods. 1:09. [1:07]
Three out of four ain't bad. This is the fourth. Traditional "girl from the Midwest goes to New York to make it big on Broadway, gets her heart broken, but it works out" story, with a wealthy fiancée back home who wants her to settle down and be Mrs. Mine-manager and a theatrical boarding house full of women who keep her from giving in. There aren't many musical numbers and they aren't all that great; the plot doesn't really reach resolution; worst of all, the soundtrack's distorted enough that the musical numbers are painful. Being generous, $0.75.
Second Chorus, 1940, b&w, H.C. Potter (dir.), Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, Artie Shaw, Charles Butterworth, Burgess Meredith. 1:24.
The timeless Fred Astaire and a very young Burgess Meredith as two "friendly"-rival musicians who've managed to stay in college, running a collegiate band, for seven years. They hire a gorgeous (and very effective) manager, somehow both graduate, and both try to get into Artie Shaw's band, sabotaging each other along the way. Some slapstick, decent plot, lots of Shaw's music and some other good numbers, and there's a little dancing in there too. $1.50.
Trocadero, 1944, b&w, William Nigh (dir.), Rosemary Lane, Johnny Downs, Ralph Morgan, Sheldon Leonard, Marjorie Manners, Cliff Nazarro. 1:14 [1:08]
This one has an actual plot, albeit told entirely in flashbacks. Tony Rocadero leaves his restaurant/night club to his (adopted?) kids, who have trouble making a go of it. But they get some good advice and book some newer jazz/swing performers. Along the way, just as they're about to shut down, one who has his eyes on the woman manager offers to finance a rebuilding and wants a bigger, fancier sign with hotter name—and Tony Rocadero's becomes the Trocadero. Interesting variety of music, but this one's as much plot as it is musical. Downgraded for soundtrack problems. $1.25.
People Are Funny, 1946, b&w, Sam White (dir.), Jack Haley, Helen Walker, Rudy Vallee, Ozzie Nelson, Art Linkletter, Frances Langford. 1:33 [1:27].
Another "friendly" rivals situation, with two radio producers (that Ozzie Nelson one of them) trying to sell a show to a grumbly sponsor (Vallee, who sings once), both trying to work from a premise involving ordinary folks in a small town. After various hijinks, "People are Funny" is born. Running gag with one musical group that keeps trying to audition for one producer. Decent plot, decent music, nothing special. $1.25.
Doll Face, 1945, b&w, Lewis Seiler (dir.), Vivian Blaine, Dennis O'Keefe, Perry Como, Carmen Miranda, Martha Stewart. 1:20 [1:18].
Let's see: A musical based on a play written by Gypsy Rose Lee, telling the story of a burlesque star who writes a book (or, rather, works with a ghostwriter, thus establishing romantic tension with her producer/manager/ boyfriend O'Keefe) to show she's classy enough for the legit stage—and winds up doing a Broadway show based on the story she wrote. Self-referential as all get out, and well done to boot. (Carmen Miranda's character makes a deprecating joke when someone compares her to Carmen Miranda…) Good musical numbers including some fully staged showpieces. Obvious missing frames and bad cuts lower this to $1.25.
The Great Gabbo, 1929, b&w*, James Cruze (dir.), Erich von Stroheim, Betty Compson, Donald Douglas, Marjorie Kane, Marbeth Wright. 1:32 [1:34].
The * after b&w is for one of the disappointments in this curious film: Portions of the movie are supposed to be in color, presumably some of the massively staged musical numbers (near the end, we see the marquee noting a cast of 350—I can believe it!). Unfortunately, there's no color in this print (or, apparently, in any available version). Other disappointments: too many splices and distorted sound in a couple of the big numbers.
Otherwise—well, it's an odd mix of drama and musical, featuring the declining director/actor von Stroheim as an impossibly good ventriloquist (his dummy sings while he's eating, drinking and smoking) who's also a harsh egomaniac and abuses his assistant so much that she finally quits (although she still loves Otto, the dummy). Two years later, the Great Gabbo's a big star in a Broadway show—but the former assistant is also a featured singer/dancer in the show, along with a man who turns out to be her husband. The Great Gabbo wants her back; she tells him the truth; he goes nuts—well, he finishes going nuts, including punching out Otto. It's an—um—interesting movie.
I didn't pay attention to the year before viewing it. Knowing that it's one of the earliest all-sound movies (and how difficult early sound techniques were), some of the problems with the film (flubbed lines, relatively little camera movement in most big musical numbers, one angle for audience reaction shots—or is it the same shot repeated?) are forgivable. Watchable enough, and von Stroheim certainly has presence, but I can't give it more than $1 except maybe as a historic document. $1.
The Dancing Pirate, 1936, b&w*, Lloyd Corrigan (dir.), Charles Collins, Frank Morgan, Steffi Duna, Louis Alberni, Victor Varconi, Jack La Rue, The Royal Cansino Dancers. 1:23.
There's a lot to say about this little gem of a picture—"little" in that it's not one of the huge music-and-dancing Busby Berkeley or Warner Bros. spectaculars. In addition to the movie as it exists in this set, there's the movie as it was filmed and interesting marketing maneuvers.
First, the movie. It really is a gem, but as a modest picture with some great dancing—waltz, tap, and glorious Mexican/Spanish ensemble dances. Oh, and two original songs by Rodgers & Hart. The movie isn't a spectacular, but that doesn't mean it's not the real stuff. The plot's straightforward. A dance instructor from Boston in 1820 gets shanghaied on to a pirate ship. He manages to escape when the ship's loading up fresh water in Alta California and intends to go back to Boston—but a shepherd's spotted the pirate ship, rung the alarm in the little town, and somehow he winds up captured as a pirate (the rest of the pirates sail away, knowing nothing about this). They want to hang him as a pirate, but the alcalde's daughter wants to learn the waltz; then some soldiers show up—supposedly on the governor's business (from Monterey) but actually thrown out of the governor's ranks, and out to seize the alcalde's lands one way or another. Various hijinks ensue, including a wedding intervention by a nearby band of peaceful Native Americans who are handy with ropes, and of course it all turns out well in the end.
Charles Collins is wonderful (if perhaps a trifle too cheerful in the face of frequent impending death) as the dancing pirate, and boy can he dance. Steffi Duna as the alcalde's daughter is very good. But do you recognize that second name in the credits? Frank Morgan—the wizard of Oz. He's remarkable as a frequently bemused alcalde, showing the same mix of bravado and uncertainty as in The Wizard of Oz.
I enjoyed it. The print's pretty good (a little streaking near the end), the sound's good, I'd watch it again. The ensemble dances in Spanish/Mexican dance outfits are spectacular, partly because they're not over the top: They're just dancing in the town square.
The movie as it was filmed? That's the * after "b&w," and it's a disappointment: This was the first dancing musical filmed 100% in Technicolor, as the credits note, and it would be great to see those costumes in color—but this print, apparently like most that are available today, is strictly black & white.
Marketing maneuvers? The jacket shown on IMDB makes this out to be a Rita Hayworth movie. And apparently she's in the movie—but not in the credits. For good reason. She was 18 years old at the time, and in this as in fourteen 1935-1937 movies, she's either uncredited or credited as Rita Cansino, sometimes part of the Dancing Cansinos or Royal Cansinos. You'd have to know what she looked like at 18 and look very closely to spot her in the big dance scenes; I certainly didn't spot her. (Mill Creek doesn't credit her, appropriately.)
If you read the full set of IMDB and Amazon user reviews, be aware that they're reviewing several different versions (apparently there is or was a color VHS release at some point—I'd love to see this in color!) and that, as usual, some of them bring their preconceptions to the table. In my case, I'll just say that I think Collins did a fine job all around, Morgan was amusing, the story was fun and didn't strike me as outlandish. Even deducting a little for the missing color, this gets $1.50.
Road Show, 1941, b&w, Hal Roach (dir.), Adolphe Menjou, Carole Landis, John Hubbard, Charles Butterworth, Patsy Kelly, Shemp Howard, The Charioteers. 1:27.
This and the other film on Side B don't really qualify as musicals (each has two or three musical numbers within a dense plot)—but they're both delightful screwball comedies. This one features a rich bachelor who winds up in an insane asylum thanks to his fiancée, meets "certified lunatic" and joyful eccentric Col. Carlton Carroway (Menjou)—who checks himself in and out of the hospital from time to time, escapes and winds up with a traveling carnival. There's more to the plot, of course. It's classic screwball comedy, expertly done and thoroughly enjoyable. Very good print, good sound, just plain enjoyable even if it doesn't really belong in this set. $2.
Hi Diddle Diddle, 1943, b&w, Andrew L. Stone (dir.), Adolphe Menjou, Martha Scott, Pola Negri, Dennis O'Keefe, Billie Burke, June Havoc. 1:12.
This time, Menjou's a not-very-successful con man married to a Wagnerian opera singer (Negri); his son (O'Keefe) (who she doesn't know about) is a sailor, marrying a woman during his three day shore leave. The bride's ex-boyfriend thinks the sailor's a golddigger and tells him that the mother's lost all her money (due to his deliberate scheming and crooked gambling)—but the sailor doesn't care, and the marriage commences. They want to go on a brief honeymoon, but this is a screwball comedy… Good running gags (one of which, a beautiful woman who keeps showing up in different scenes and apparently different minor roles, blatantly opens the fourth wall as a lead character mentions that she's a relative or friend of the producer); a remarkable sequence in which four people at a nightclub practice doubletakes (causing the bartender watching them to do a classic doubletake). The print's not quite as good as Road Show; the musical numbers are fine (one of them really excellent) but two songs do not a musical make; but as a screwball comedy, this is a fine little movie. Lowered for damaged sections to $1.50.
I tried to be tough in judging these, taking some off for print damage and more for soundtrack damage, and a little for "color" that's not there. As noted previously, I've also cut the original dollar values: $2.50 is as high as I'd go, simply because DVDs have gotten cheaper in general.
That said, this is a pretty good showing for the first half—noting that I consider $1 a decent value, $1.25 a pretty good film, and anything $1.50 or more solid value. Only five out of 24 movies failed to merit "passing grades," mostly because of serious visual and soundtrack damage, once because of other, deeper problems (a movie that was pretty much disowned by its stars).
Three real treats here—Stage Door Canteen, Reet, Petite and Gone, and Road Show. Add six more that may be worth watching again: The Fabulous Dorseys, The Duke is Tops, Private Buckaroo, Second Chorus, The Dancing Pirate and Hi Diddle Diddle. For that matter, none of those eight "$1.25" movies is a slouch. I count a total of $30.50—not bad for half of a box that cost $16.

NCUB Publishes Easy Access IP Assessment Report
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 25 March 2015 12:01
- Written by National Centre for Universities and Business
The National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) published today the findings of their preliminary assessment of the Easy Access IP initiative.
This assessment fulfils NCUB's commitment set by the Government's response to the House of Commons Science and Technology committee's (STFC) enquiry into the Valley of Death. Carried out in partnership with PraxisUnico and commissioned to IP Pragmatics, the study collates intelligence from publicly available data and through semi-structured interviews with 18 of the 24 known partners to the Easy Access IP initiative.
The report gathers a full picture of Easy Access IP from the viewpoint of the participating organisations and produces a number of recommendations to help gain a more complete picture of the contribution of the scheme to improving commercialisation of IP from Universities.
Key findings from the survey include:
- It is still too early to judge the success of the scheme for most participants.
- Most participants are using Easy Access IP licences only very occasionally, and for only a small proportion of the licences that they sign.
- Even where the scheme is not heavily used, the majority of participants find it a useful addition to the range of knowledge exchange mechanisms available to them, and all intend to remain partners and continue to use the scheme where appropriate.
- The scheme works best with an internal champion and/or senior management support and where business development and technology transfer are closely aligned.
- It provides an IP exploitation framework with diverse niche applications.
- The Easy Access IP brand is a valuable marketing tool, and sends a positive message that the organisation is open and easy to work with.
- The concepts of simple agreements and free licences are not new, and many organisations that are not partners of Easy Access IP achieve similar aims through other mechanisms without the Easy Access IP label.
- Costs and risks of development, difficulties in reaching potential partners, and lack of commercial potential may be more important constraints to wider uptake of University IP.
- Easy Access IP has widened the debate about KE mechanisms, and added another approach and more flexibility to the KE toolkit.
Rebecca Villis, Head of Innovation at the Intellectual Property Office who funded the seed of Easy Access IP through their Fast Forward competition said:
"I am pleased that the Intellectual Property Office's Fast Forward funding has allowed extension of the Easy Access IP approach to other universities. The Fast Forward competition aims to allow innovative approaches to the management of IP in university knowledge exchange to be tested and it is great to hear this funding has facilitated a useful addition to the range of mechanisms available to universities."
Elaine Eggington, Principal Consultant for IP Pragmatics, who were commissioned to undertake the assessment concluded;
"The majority of the Easy Access partners canvassed for this study reported Easy Access IP to be a useful addition to the range of knowledge transfer mechanisms that are available to them, two partners use the scheme successfully as a default mechanism. The challenge is now to industry - if the low level of engagement is due to the difficulty of dealing with Universities, then removal of these barriers should lead to increased engagement from companies"
Dr Rosa Fernandez, Director of Research, NCUB said:
"Initiatives such as Easy Access IP aim to expand the use university knowledge in business operations and strategy, which is at the heart of what NCUB does. It may be too early to judge the success of Easy Access IP overall but it is not too early to welcome a practice that is organised as a partnership, has demonstrated appeal to SMEs, and adds to the portfolio of tools we have to expand access to university knowledge assets."

Now You're Cooking!
- 2010 28 May
If the Bible is filled with recipes for happy living, then how about some cooking tips?
Here are some recipe suggestions to get you started that will put some sizzle into your Bible study.
Seven Great Passages to Study
- The Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5
- The Peace of God Passage - Philippians 4:4-9
- The Creation Chapter - Genesis 1
- The Love Chapter - 1 Corinthians 13
- The Faith Chapter - Hebrews 11
- The Resurrection of Jesus - Luke 24
- The Twenty-Third Psalm - Psalms 23
Six Ways to Read the Bible
- Read it systematically. Start reading today where you left off yesterday. Read as much or as little as you feel led each day, looking for a key verse to lift your heart each morning or evening.
- Read it aloud so it's seen, spoken, and heard, tripling its impact.
- Read it with pencil in hand, underlining, circling, checking, drawing lines and charts, making notes in the margin.
- Read it in a translation you can understand. I use the new king james version primarily, but I also enjoy reading the message paraphrase by Eugene Peterson.
- Find a good study Bible with an abundance of notes providing an overview of each book and explanations of difficult verses.
- Read it regularly. Find a specific time and place each day.
Four Prayers to Offer Before Reading Your Bible
- Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law—Psalms 119:18
- Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears—1 Samuel 3:9
- Sanctify [me] by Your Truth. Your Word is truth—John 17:17
- Lord, open my mind to understand the Scriptures—from Luke 24:45
Three Plans for Reading the Bible Through in a Year
- Purchase a one-year Bible that divides the Scriptures into 365 reading segments.
- Use the Bible reading guide at the bottom of the daily devotions in each issue of Turning Points.
- Read three chapters a day and five on Sunday.
Tips for Memorizing Scripture
- Ask God for help, then determine in your mind to do it without fail.
- Find a passage that speaks to your need.
- Begin by learning the reference. Try to find a memory device. Take it word for word and verse by verse. After learning one phrase, go on to the next.
- Read the verse or passage aloud over and over each day. The oral repetition of a verse is the surest way to eventually commit it to memory.
- Turn the verse into a song. Don't worry if it's not a show-stopping tune; it's for your purposes alone.
- Write out the passage each day.
- Quote it to a friend who will follow along and correct any lapses.
- Keep a record of your memorized Bible verses and review them as needed.
Three Ways to Study the Bible With Others
- Take your Bible to church each week and follow along with the Sunday school lesson and Sunday sermon.
- Enroll in a Bible study group at your church.
- Read and discuss the Bible each day at a family altar with your spouse and/or children.
One Way to Share the Bible with Others
Select a verse each morning as your "verse of the day," and ask God to show you someone each day with whom to share that verse, either in personal conversation, a note of encouragement, or e-mail.
Six Great Bible Study Aids
These tools are available at any good Christian bookstore, or they are all available on your computer from a variety of Bible software distributors. Try to find a dedicated place for daily Bible study and keep a little shelf of essential study aids near at hand or easily accessible on your computer. Many of these study tools are also available on the Internet.
- A good study Bible
- A handbook of Scripture, such as the old tried-but-true Halley's Handbook of the Bible
- A sound commentary of the entire Bible, such as the two-volume work, The Bible Knowledge Commentary
- A Bible atlas
- A Bible dictionary
- A concordance
Dr. Jeremiah is the founder and host of Turning Point for God and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California. For more information on Turning Point, go to www.davidjeremiah.org.

October is giving June some strong competition as a favorite wedding month, especially in North Carolina. It's not surprising, given the delightful weather—not cold, not hot, not humid. The bold colors of fall are so pretty for indoor and outdoor decorating. The bright golds, oranges, reds and purples also can be used with linens, dishes & glassware as well as the wedding cake. Many of our brides add pumpkins and mums as fall accents. We even had one October wedding with a "state fair" theme, complete with funnel cakes! As you think about your fall wedding for 2015 or 2016, check out some scenes from other October weddings at the Rand-Bryan House.
Month: October 2014
Wedding arbors – A focal point for your ceremony
Many couples choose a structure for the focal point at their ceremony. There are all types of materials so, whether you like a natural look or a bright white, you can find an arbor to suit you. There are options for adding flowers or greenery to some arbors. We've seen structures made just for the bride & groom; then, they can have it for their yard at their new home—how special! Others rent an arbor or get one from their florist. Here are some pretty examples to inspire you! The first one was made by the bride's father and the second was crafted by the groom and his father!
Choose your Raleigh area caterer
One of the attractions to our property (in addition to its beauty) is the flexibility to choose your vendors. This is especially important with caterers. There are lots of options for serving your guests—brunch, hors d'oeuvres, formal plated meal, buffet or a BBQ. When you have the opportunity to select your caterer, you can choose the menu, pricing and service that works for you. We are happy to provide recommendations for caterers who have been at our venue multiple times and done a good job but, ultimately the choice is yours!

"Over the course of three years of research," NCI study head Dr. Frederick Courson said, "one clear, immutable fact emerged: You work hard, and you should definitely reward yourself."
Continued Courson: "So why not treat yourself to that special thing you've had your eye on for so long? If you had any doubt before, put it to rest, because we have found, with 99.3 percent accuracy, that you deserve it."
Among the items the study found you to be worth: rich, creamy milk chocolate; a restful, luxurious mattress featuring patented ComfortCoils™; a truck you can trust; a china set as sophisticated as you are; and a wide-screen TV that brings the game right into your living room.
"Go ahead and spoil yourself for once," Courson said. "Because isn't it about time you took care of you?"
In addition to scouring magazine ads and television commercials for evidence that you are worth it, Courson said the NCI team consulted a number of leading you experts, including daytime-talk-show hosts and executives at such companies as Häagen-Dazs, Carnival Cruise Lines, Elizabeth Arden and Mercedes-Benz.
NCI researchers found abundant proof of your worthiness in advertisements. While nearly 650 watch manufacturers ran ads praising you for your ability to distinguish a quality timepiece from a cheap imitation, 475 shoe manufacturers noted that you have the ability to feel their commitment to you in every step. In addition, approximately 1,800 tourism brochures stressed that a person like you deserves to be pampered on your next vacation.
Based on your limitless merit, the NCI study concluded that you should settle for nothing less than the best.
"You're smart enough to know what you really want, so go ahead and get it," Courson said. "There's really no reason not to, as all of our research indicates that you won't regret it."
The NCI study noted that by refusing to settle for second-best, you might have to pay a little bit more money, but it's well worth it.
"Now more than ever—considering the fact that you're probably between the ages of 23 and 40, and spend at least 60 percent of your annual disposable income on clothing, entertainment and impulse purchases—you deserve it," Courson said. "And, based on our data, it's clear that you've more than earned it."
Though the study reported that you may not be the richest person in the world, you still have enough sophistication to want the good things in life. And though you may not be a model, you have a style that's all your own.
"Go ahead," said In Style magazine associate editor Marilyn Oberst, a study consultant. "You're genuine, and you love life… so live it to the fullest."
Though the report was generally positive about you, pointing out many of your strengths, it did include one warning: Because you are so driven and lead such an active life, you sometimes forget to just slow down and do something nice for yourself.
"Take time out for number one," said Sherri Dupre, a regional buyer for The Body Shop. "After all, if you don't, who will?"
Across the U.S., discriminating people like yourself are agreeing with the study's findings.
"My golf partner Ken asked me if he should get rid of his three-year-old Lexus and lease one of those new BMWs," said Larry Nystrom, a Seattle investment banker. "I told him, 'You're worth it, Ken, now more than ever.'"
"I just started using Clinique's Revitaderm skin-conditioning system, which nourishes and replenishes while it moisturizes," said Danielle Duvall of Boca Raton, FL. "It's a lot more expensive than the Almay system I used before, but why should a woman like me deny myself something I want?"

Last Friday, September 5, Gorman & Company was awarded the Wisconsin Historical Society's Historic Preservation Award for transforming Oregon's historic Red Brick School into their office headquarters. The annual award acknowledges the best effort to preserve a historical property in Wisconsin.
"Taking something old and renovating it into a functional, innovative new space is at the core of what we do at Gorman & Company," said Gary Gorman, President of Gorman & Company. "The Red Brick School has so much history and so much heart, we're thrilled that our efforts to bring new life to the building are being acknowledged by the Wisconsin Historical Society."
Originally built in 1922, the Red Brick School served Oregon for 70 years until the early 1990's. Since then, it has been used solely for storage by the school district. In 1998, a group of concerned area citizens, led by Joan Gefke, successfully had the school listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Over the years, proposals have suggested everything from tearing the school down to any number of kinds of commercial use, but nothing stuck until Gorman committed to the project. Because historic renovation is one of the company's areas of expertise, the rehab of the old school serves a dual purpose as the company's office headquarters and as a showcase project for their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
"The reaction we've gotten from employees has been extremely positive," Gorman said of the innovative new office space which included the refurbished basketball court, a 1950s-style diner that serves as a break room, a fitness room, and other amenities. "At the end of the day, that's what is most important to us, and that's what will help us attract and retain the best and brightest employees."
Many components of the school have been salvaged and incorporated into the office, including wood doors and trim; Terrazzo and wood flooring; built-in cabinets and selected blackboards; and the original skylight openings. In addition, the windows have been replaced with historically accurate windows, and suspended acoustic ceilings were removed and replaced with drywall ceilings at the original heights.
The award was presented at the Red Brick School, 200 N. Main Street. The event featured remarks by Ellsworth Brown, Ruth Hartley Barker Director of the Wisconsin Historical Society; Gary Gorman, President of the Gorman & Company; and Joan Gefke, a local Oregon resident who supported the project.

Does your shoulder bother you at the end of the day? Is shoulder pain keeping you from playing with your kids or grandkids? Are you losing sleep because of pain? If so, you aren't alone. Many people suffer with shoulder and rotator cuff pain. Below you will learn more about this and how a physical therapist can help you feel better and avoid surgery in many cases.
Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about rotator cuff injuries:
"The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens when you try to sleep on the involved side.
Rotator cuff injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports. Examples include painters, carpenters, and people who play baseball or tennis. The risk of rotator cuff injury also increases with age.
Many people recover from rotator cuff disease with physical therapy exercises that improve flexibility and strength of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint." Reference — http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/rotator-cuff-injury/home/ovc-20126921
It's important to note that while a rotator cuff tear sounds very serious, many people are able to rehab without the need for surgery. Even if you do have to get surgery, meeting with a physical therapist first will help you to have the best range of motion and strength possible prior to surgery.
Besides rotator cuff injuries, you can also have shoulder pain that is coming from your neck. This is called referred pain. Your physical therapist will be able to help determine if this is a cause of your pain, plan your treatment accordingly, or refer you to a specialist for further help.
How can a physical therapist help me?
Your evaluation with your physical therapist starts with a complete medical history that includes any previous injuries, any questions or concerns you may have, and your goals. This helps them so that they can develop a treatment program that is just right for you. You will be given an exercise program to help improve your strength and motion, so you can get back to doing the things you want. And last but certainly not least they will teach you about your condition and what you can do to help manage the condition yourself.
If you have a shoulder pain or an injury that just isn't going away, consider calling ApexNetwork Physical Therapy for help. We can help you feel better and help you LIVE LIFE! #GETPT1st

Surprisingly (or not), new video iPod, new iMac (which got a major graphics update, plus a speed bump, plus built-in iSight), a remote for the new iMac, and tying most of it together – TV shows are available through the new iTunes 6 (around half a dozen from ABC, but they appear to be low-resolution 320×240). Some software updates as well.
No PowerBook or iBook announcements – considering those are heavily favored to be the first Macs to see Intel chips, not surprising this late in the year. They could come later in the week or next week, but doubtful (then again I was wrong about the video iPod).

Summer is just around the corner in Dallas, TX and with the end of the school year approaching you might be wondering what you are going to do to keep everyone entertained for the next few months. Well wonder no more…we put this article together to show you some of the kid-friendly events and attractions taking place around Dallas/Fort Worth.
Klyde Warren Park – This 5.2 acre deck park is an urban green space built over the recessed Woodall Rodgers Freeway in downtown Dallas. The park is open daily and offers free programming for the public ranging from yoga to book signings to outdoor concerts and films. Also located on the property is Savor which is a higher end gastropub ideal for family gatherings and great bites!
Perot Museum of Nature and Science – The museum is located in Victory Park, near Downtown Dallas. It is open daily to the public and the exhibits do change often. The goal of the museum is to provide learning through hands-on experiences and spark curiosity in all ages. The Perot Museum exposes our children to a world of ideas and concepts in science, math and technology, all within one spectacular location.
Dallas Children's Theatre – Hats off to 30! As they celebrate 30 great years of service to the community, Dallas Children's Theater announces an astonishing lineup of shows and activities including a hat design contest, a community birthday party, and more free show-themed parties on opening nights! Their lineup includes Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web and many more!
Dallas Comic Con – Taking over the Dallas Convention Center Friday, May 16th to Sunday, May 18th, this year's Comic Con is striving to be the biggest and best yet! Some of the celebrities scheduled to appear include: William Shatner, Nathan Fillion, Stan Lee, Judd Nelson and Christopher Lloyd.
Wildflower – Here is a little something for a more mature audience. Wildflower is a multi-day eclectic arts and music festival that will take place in Galatyn Park, located outside of the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts. This year the event will feature Lonestay, The Wallflowers, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kool & The Gang, as well as many more!
Hopefully these will give you a springboard into summer. If your summer plans include a new home purchase we would love to be of assistance. Give us a call today to talk about your needs and maybe while the kids are out having fun you can look for a new place to call home!

The resurgence of the cocktail hour; The King's Head show you how it's done!
The resurgence of the cocktail hour; The King's Head show you how it's done!
From record sales of herbs to a market gone crazy for DIY kits – 2016 is seeing a surge in the cocktail making trend. Here at The King's Head, our popular bar and bistro based in Harborne, we have offered up our secret recipe for the perfect summer time White Russian… with a twist!
According to the Fresh Produce Journal, Vitacress, the UK's leading producer of fresh herbs, have reported record sales of fresh mint for the first five months of 2016. The Head of Marketing at the firm credits its bumper sales to the new-found popularity of summer cocktails made with Pimm's. Also, spirits retailer Dan Murphy's confirms that their customers are continuously trying new cocktails and aperitifs in their local bars and then visiting their stores to make the cocktails at home.
Jo Scone, Manager at The King's Head said "We have seen a huge increase in customers asking for the cocktail menu in our popular venue. We have a great team of bartenders who are all skilled at creating new and exciting variations on classic cocktails. We've just launched our summer cocktail menu, featuring drinks such as Summer Fruit Bellini and Strawberry and Basil Margarita and our regulars are going crazy for them, especially since we've recently revamped our terrace, so it makes an ideal place to relax with cocktail in hand . One of our most popular cocktails at the moment is our 'secret recipe White Russian'. Traditional White Russians do not contain milk or ice cream, however, we've got a bit of a sweet tooth here at The King's Head, and did a little experimenting with milkshakes to come up with our ice-cold White Russian, made with a naughty dollop of ice cream".
Here's our once secret recipe for the perfect summertime White Russian:
25ml of Vodka
50ml of Kaluha Coffee Liqueur
25ml of Milk
25ml of Cream
Vanilla Ice Cream
Coco Powder
Coffee Beans
1. Pour the Vodka, Kahlua, Milk and Cream into a Boston glass, cover with ice and vigorously shake.
2. Add a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream into your glass
3. Use a hawthorn strainer to pour the mixture over the top of the ice cream
4. Top with coffee beans and coco powder
5. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
The King's Head, a long standing establishment on the outskirts of Harborne, has been a social hub in the local area for over 100 years. With the Great British Summer already here, our recipe is a great way to impress dinner party guests – but if DIY'ing it isn't your thing, here at The King's Head we have a huge variety of cocktails on our menu. Our established eatery also has just completed a facelift on ourr sizeable suntrap terrace, complete with patio heaters and umbrellas – this is England, after all.
To find out more about The King's Head, our cocktails, and to book your table, visit our homepage at www.thekingsheadbirmingham.com

The Magical Buffet and author Nancy Holzner
One of my favorite blogs to visit is The Magical Buffet. Blogger Rebecca Elson is interested in lots of things, from Paganism (which is how I got met her), to ghost hunting, to Buddhism, to reading...just about everything. Her blog is always interesting and never predictable, which is one of the things I love about it.
Today's blog post is extra interesting to me, because it is a guest post by author Nancy Holzner. Nancy wrote a wonderful and original urban fantasy called DEADTOWN (which you should run right out and buy, if you haven't read it yet). I'll let you go to The Magical Buffet and read all about it, in Nancy's own words.
What--you're still here? GO! Go read!

Amongst the many Fall 2015 launches that I have been to, I reckon Estee Lauder's 2015 Fall Collection has the largest quantity of products ranging from skincare to cosmetics.. there's bound to be one that will catch your eye. As I didn't want to overwhelm you with too much information, I have thus split it into three different posts – focusing mainly on the lips today!
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer, SGD 40
When it comes to prepping your lips before adding colour, it is important to find a good lip balm to not only moisturise your lips, but also ensure that it stays hydrated all day long! Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer helps create fuller and healthier looking lips with a fresh tint of colour thanks to the Hydra-Fill Complex that helps moisturise and smoothen those fine lines. I like how the lightweight balmy texture glides on my lips effortlessly with a slight cooling sensation – it can be used under colour or on its own!
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion, SGD 46
The latest lip innovation by Estee Lauder, Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion is a luxuriously lightweight formula that looks like a lipgloss, feels like a lip balm but with the intensity of a lipstick.. the end result? Sultry lips that are left feeling soft and supple all day long! Featuring long-wearing properties that maintain colour richness and wear for up to 8 hours, Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion is a curated collection of 12 seductive shades from the nudes to browns, the Mauves to Plums (*apologies for the typo, it's Fragile Ego instead of Fragile Red), the corals to reds and of course, the pinks to berries!
Lip Swatches: Wicked Sweet, Pierced Petal, Naughty Naive & Lethal Red
The rich colour impact of these lip potions gives my lips a noticeably fuller and curvaceous look, which gave me the confidence to steer towards the brighter colours such as Naughty Naive & Lethal Red (in which I would normally avoid). What's interesting to note is the slanted and curved applicator that serves two functions: curved tip to line lips and create shape, or turn over the applicator to get more Lip Potion for an intense pout for the not so innocent moments ;p
Look out for my next couple of posts to know how I incorporate the bright lippies into my favourite weekend looks with more Estee Lauder Fall 2015 products coming your way! 'til the next~

A fantastic moist flaky Grilled Salmon with a Creamy Mustard Dill Sauce, a pick in BBQ Recipes for your Barbeque Grill for a sensational burst of flavors for one easy choice in Grill Recipes.
This popular dish would be a great choice in BBQ Recipes, made with a White Vinegar Marinade and special seasonings spices, this is one of my favorite marinade recipes for this Grilled Salmon, personally I think it makes the meat of the Salmondeliciously light and flaky. Wait until your guests taste the burst of flavors in this pick for Grill Recipes.
I just love the Creamy Mustard Dill Sauce with this flaky favorite. I think this fantastic favorite in Grill Recipes for fish is one of the most popular. While the fish in marinating, hubby gets the barbeque grill smokin' hot then starts cooking up this delicious Grilled Salmon, one of his excellent little cooking hints is he bastes the fish with some of that Creamy Mustard Dill Sauce for a flavor sensation that is out of this world!
When friends are over for a barbecue party, I treat them with some special side dish recipes to go along side this choice in Grill Recipes. One of my favorites I like is the Greek Potatoes with fresh Garlic and Lemons. These go great with this Grilled Salmon. How about a fantastic Pasta? The popular Fettucini is a hit! For an extra special treat, a decadent Dessert would be the perfect sweet treat for your fantastic feast!
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 fresh lemon, squeezed for juice
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon dill weed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground peppercorns
4 salmon steaks or 2 large salmon fillets
Combine white vinegar, lemon, white sugar, dill weed, salt and pepper in a re-sealable plastic bag or large glass or metal mixing bowl.
If you are using the fillets, cut into 4 pieces and gently add fish to bag and seal. Turn to coat and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. For the Salmon Steaks, add gently to bag, coat and seal.
If you are using the glass or metal bowl, place salmon fillets or salmon steaks into bowl and gently coat. Cover and seal with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
Mustard Dill Sauce
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh dill weed, finely chopped

In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill weed, white sugar, juice of the lemons and fresh ground pepper corns.
Whisk until well combined, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator.
Remove fish steaks from refrigerator, drain and discard marinade and bag if you are using one.
Grill 6 - 7 minutes on each side on a medium hot barbeque grill, brushing lightly with the Mustard Dill Sauce that you have set aside for basting.
Serve with your Homemade Mustard Dill Sauce that has been chilling.
Makes 4 Servings. EXCELLENT!

Get that barbeque grill out to celebrate a special day with friends and family or a-just-because break from cooking in the kitchen, make this Grilled Salmon for one easy to prepare meal.
