Pushover was released in the US on 6 August 1954.

Combining elements of Thomas Walsh's 1952 novel The Night Watch and William S. Ballinger's 1953 novel Rafferty, Stanley Ellin and Orin Jennings developed the initial script, which was then reworked by Roy Huggins (who received sole credit). Producer Jules Shermer further changed the script, borrowing from the 1947 film Framed, including some dialogue and ending).

21-year-old Kim Novak had (very) minor roles in a couple of previous films, but Pushover is her first substantial role. Many reviewers were critical of the similarities between Fred MacMurray's character in Pushover and Double Indemnity (1944), but the similarities are rather superficial.

Jean-Luc Godard cited Pushover as one of the best American films of the 1950s (and stated that he had intended to make 1960s A bout de souffle "like Richard Quine's Pushover, but it wasn't that at all").

The Duke of Feldsbury, circa 1918, 73 years old

~

Thomas Eugene Henry Walsh, the Ninth Duke of Feldsbury, was born in 1845 in Henford-on-Bagley to the eighth Duke and Duchess of Feldsbury. A proud man with great wealth, the Duke became a cynic and pessimist in his older years due to the frequent deaths in his family, including his parents, brother, wife, son, and grandson. While he approves of his fourth cousin once removed Peter Walsh to be the next Duke, his son Byron is a different matter.

Captain Starlet are yet another brother tandem (Busman's Holiday is one too!) band (not to be confused with the wedding band Captain Scarlet). I'm assuming they're an England-based band - they recently had a show in York and this 2 song cassette is being released by UK label Safe Suburban Home Records.

It's hard not to immediately think of Teenage Fanclub when listening to "Self-Portrait". But I'm also thinking of the great mid-tempo pop of Pale Lights or Thomas Walsh of Pugwash. The 2nd song doesn't really sound Teenage Fanclub-ish - rather it sounds like a lo-fi version of Beulah or Ireland's Soft on Crime.

Listen/purchase: A Good Day For Me by Thomas Walsh

Pugwash - Apples (2002)

Pugwash is essentially Irishman Thomas Walsh, and whoever he gets to join him. It reminds me a lot of later XTC (Andy Partridge has collaborated with Walsh, as has Dave Gregory). Timeless pop music.

I am so excited for this release. Thomas Walsh, the pop auteur behind Pugwash and The Duckworth Lewis Method will be releasing an LP under his own name via Curation Records.

"A Good Day For Me" is the lead single and features the other 1/2 of The Duckworth Lewis Method - Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy). If that wasn't enough for me, then the comparisons of XTC, The Beach Boys and The Beatles push me into giddiness.

But wait...this is only a digital single. Yes, but there will be a physical release. And if you can't wait, then visit the Pugwash Discogs page. May I suggest the low-priced "Play This Intimately (As If Among Friends)", or "Giddy".

It appears that Thomas may have fell on hard times a few years back as there is a tribute compilation.

Walsh is based in Dublin, Ireland.
