According to the Wiki article Loren was two inches taller than Ladd and he
stood on a box for some scenes and for some on the beach, a trench was
dug for Loren. Who knows which version is true. Everybody has their own
story. I'll bet most of the men wouldn't be focusing on Ladd even if he was
six feet tall.

Well Ladd was the perfect height for the role in Boy With a Dolphin.

I heard this was the only movie where he told the director he didn't want to stand on a box during his scenes with Loren!

I don't think it's a matter of fault, just somebody using what she was born with.
The only thing one can see in that photo is her bra. Now Boy on a Dolphin
is a different matter. Alan Ladd must have felt even smaller than usual, though
Clifton Webb probably didn't even look twice.

I guess it is the fault of the director that in the picture shown she is wearing a see-through blouse.

Sophia, through no fault of her own, does tend to draw double entendres, puns, etc.
The woman just can't help it.

I remember hearing that song on the radio. It was later covered by Lawrence Welk..
'Nuff said. :)

WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL '73

Two brothers, one evil, one good, fight to the death over who gets to move in to the land their father left them, which includes a run-down but still good -for- a- song cathedral on the premises. Shelley Winters keeps trying to persuade the good brother to forget about it all and try to earn his living with his gun, but he'll not hear of it. Whenever she tries to discuss the subject he simply says, "You're bringing me down."


If you're serious about this cathedral business, I should think you'd clean up once in a while. I won't be having your dirty boots stomping all over that pretty stained glass chapel. And stop whistling that idiotic tune !

What, this?...

Ah, that Sophia Loren ! Where she's concerned, gnome is where the heart is.
( Don't ask me to explain that, I have no idea what it means. I'm just a snowman who happens to look like Burl Ives. )

If I ever catch you playing around with the Floatsam brothers, we won't be having a holly jolly Christmas.

Desire Under the Elves

Crusty patriarch Jedidiah Sumpump runs one of the largest garden gnome
and assorted garden accesories outfits in New England. The only thing that
is missing in his life is the feminine touch, so he brings in a voluptuous Italian
woman young enough to be his granddaughter to fill that role. Sadly, the only
thing they have in common is their chest measurement. One day while he
is counting his concrete elves inventory he sees his wife and his youngest son
Petunia engaged in an exchange of semi-precious bodily fluids. Sump runs to
the house for his shotgun, but by the time he gets back the younguns have already
skedaddled.

Thus that old chestnut, The pen is mightier than the sword.

Brenty would have made a good complement to Miss Torso. He could
have been Mr. Tuchus. I don't believe Lars would want to do away with
GB. Imagine trying to cut up those huge hindquarters. :(

Sequel:
YANKEE DOODLE CANDY

George M. Cohan (nothing more than an alias for James Cagney), flushed with the success of his All-American cheesey doodles, strikes again with a Stars and Stripes flag-shaped candy, ingeniously multi-flavoured with gummi bears (the stars) and liquorice ( the stripes). He hopes the American public will go for it in a big way, as they did the yankee cheese doodles, a couple of years earlier.


I tell ya, it can't go wrong. I've even written a promotional jingle for this stuff..."You're a Grand Old Flag", with everyone popping the candies into their mouths in time to the music.. It'll be the big stage finale. And we can pass out free cheese doodles and the new Yankee Doodle Candy to the kids in the audience...

YANKEE CHEESE DOODLE DANDY

James Cagney delights and amazes the world (or at least, his native country) when he develops an All-American snack, both light and satisfying, cheesey and yet classy. The true story of the birth of the cheese doodle. He decides the treat is so delicious and makes so many people happy, he wants to write a musical about it and take the show on the road.
Special credit for both the doodles and the cheese to his mother, his father, his sister, and his brother.


So now that you've stuffed a handful of 'em into your mouth, whaddya
think? Worth producing a big show about them, right?

Possibly they had a special model, designed to accomodate George's unique figure.
