Back To The 70's


Recommended Posts

Speaking of Imee, was it during the late 70s or early 80s when news came out of Tommy Manotoc's (ex-husband of Aurora Pijuan) supposed kidnapping? Pero what turned out pala was Imee and Tommy were having an affair and were intent on getting married, etc.

 

Oh yeah, that was '81. When the Imee/Tommy news came out, naubos ang lahat ng copies ng Collegian nun sa UP.

Speaking of action stars...

 

It was quite hip during the 70s for black stars to be featured in action films. Just think of "Shaft" with Richard Roundtree. There were also retired American football players such as Jim Brown and Fred Williamson who starred in "Three the Hard Way" (sorry, I can't recall the third man). Of course, there was Jim Kelly in "Enter the Dragon."

 

As for "A Bridge Too Far," my favorite scene was that of Robert Redford leading his troops while they paddled their boats along a river. While they were being shelled and while he paddled like crazy, Redford kept reciting the "Hail Mary." Other stars that I remember from "A Bridge Too Far": Laurence Olivier, Liv Ulman, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Sean Connery, Maximillian Schell. Sino pa? One thing about "A Bridge Too Far" is that it's one of the very few Hollywood films about an Allied loss.

Speaking of old radios and others...

 

I was in Bellini's in Cubao the other day and there was a shop right beside it that sold these old transistor radios and other curio items from the 70's and 60's.

 

I remember in the very early 70's, I used to hear some old time singers like Perry Como and Matt Monroe being played by the labandera through those old Abegon transistor radios -- usually at noon so it made one quite sleepy. That thin sound of an AM radio sound was general fare then as this was before stereo was the norm.

 

Hmmm... Abegon, Sylvania, Radiowealth. This was before the time of Sony and other Japanese brands. Remember going to small shops and one can buy those tiny palm sized AM radios usually in blue, red or black colors? Sa ganoon lang nagumpisa mga hapon and look where they are now. Taiwan products were not even heard of then.

Zenith, RCA pa ....

 

AM Radios then are just like the MP3 players/ IPods we see today
