Battle Beyond the Stars

  • by

Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), starring Richard Thomas, John Saxon, Morgan Woodward, George Peppard, Sybil Danning, Robert Vaughn directed by Roger Corman

Review

In short, Battle Beyond the Stars is Roger Corman’s cheesy rip off, trying to cash in on the popularity of Star Wars. Cross Star Wars with The Magnificent Seven, and this is what you get. Frankly, Robert Vaughn effectively plays the same role in both films.

Blondie’s Holiday (1947) starring Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake

Normally, it’s Dagwood that causes the trouble. But in Blondie’s Holiday, it’s Blondie’s turn. She lets her pride cause the trouble. She lets her old high school friend Paul Madison think that Dagwood’s getting a $250/week raise — when it’s only $2.50. And when they “volunteer” Dagwood to pay for the entire high school reunion …. She doesn’t want to make Dagwood look bad.

Song lyrics The Lady is a Tramp, (1937). Music by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics by Lorenzo Hart. Written for the musical Babes in Arms.

The Lady is a Tramp is a classic song. It deals with the singer, rejecting the hoi polloi of the upper crust. She rejects their values for traditional, middle class values and living.
