Prime Australia. Worth the effort but you do have to pay attention as it is subtitled tho Nordic movies don't bother me for subtitles - German or French not so comfortable with.
The phenomenal international bestseller – 100 million copies of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series sold worldwide. One of the Bookseller's 30 most influential books of the last 30 years.
and Steig never got to see the success, nor his 30 year partner any money from it ,,, :mob: :mob:

Gave up the true crime series.



I like the Irwins and Ebert gives it three stars.

Hokey as hell but it's home 🙄

Steve's last feature film :cry: what loss. The Irwin kids carry on tho
There were no scripts used in the "documentary" portions of this movie; whatever Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin said was off the top of their heads.
All stunts were performed, just like on The Crocodile Hunter (1996), by Steve himself. Brozzie's husband in her wedding photo on the mantle and other pictures in her house is Wes Mannion, Steve Irwin's best friend and Director of Australia Zoo.
The crocs used in the film are all live wild caught crocs caught by Steve Irwin himself.
"Bindi": scene where Brozzie falls from the tree into the lake
"Monty": when Steve first discovers the croc on land
"Charlie": boat in the middle of the lake prior to capture
"Graham": final capture scene.

Alan Freed

Freed, c. 1958
Born Albert James Freed
December 15, 1921
Windber, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Died January 20, 1965 (aged 43)
Palm Springs, California, U.S.
Resting place Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.
Occupation Disc jockey
Years active 1945–1965

Albert James "Alan" Freed (December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965) was an American disc jockey.[1] He also produced and promoted large traveling concerts with various acts, helping to spread the importance of rock and roll music throughout North America, including popularizing the term "rock and roll".

In 1986, Freed was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His "role in breaking down racial barriers in U.S. pop culture in the 1950s, by leading white and black kids to listen to the same music, put the radio personality 'at the vanguard' and made him 'a really important figure'", according to the executive director.[2]

I had the Peace Concert on Pioneer Laser Disc and it blew me away when I first saw it. She was out from under Dave Stewart and the Eurythmics as her keepers and Annie Lennox was now the super star. I find her incredibly entertaining.....girl POWAH!!! What a vocal range she has and her backup singers are fabulous as well....
Listen loud! enjoy...
