    The Eyes of Laura ___s expression of consent where Robert Wagner and Jill St. John live ____King what Katherine Hepburn as Tracy Lord in The Philadelphia Story calls the lovely sailboat

     

    Sounds great, Eve! Where will it publish?

  2. Thelma Todd's story is very interesting, and so is what happened to William Desmond Taylor.

     

    The Biography Channel is running Old Hollywood --"Silent Stars, Deadly Secrets" tonight about the mysterious death of William Desmond Taylor. Possibly under discussion is Sidney Kirkpatrick's book, *Cast of Killers* , 1986, about King Vidor's research involving all the unusual suspects. I've never seen this Biography special and am looking forward to it.

     

    Obviously, it concerns a miscarriage of justice.

  3. I like the fact that anybody can wear just about anything there on the beach (or nothing) and it's not such a big deal.

     

    And that Eden Roc pool near Antibes was so inviting! And visiting those outdoor cafes with such breathtaking views...more cafe, monsieur....but, of course...put it on zee ole Americain Express...

    I don't leave the villa viss out eet..

    > between this version and fry's 'wilde', i liked this film better. fry's film presented perhaps a more rounded version of wilde's life with more time being spent on his life, family, career, etc. and more time is spent with the supporting characters.

     

    I've only seen Fry's version, but I thought it was very well done, and historically accurate from what I've read about Wilde's life.

     

    > my first exposure to the wilde-bosie affair was thru the PBS mini series 'lillie' about the actress lillie langtry. langtry and wilde were good friends, and we could see wilde's downfall as a side story in the mini series. though only a supporting role,the actor who played wilde in that series (peter egan) was EXCELLENT, and his is still my all-time favorite wilde portrayal. bosie however, appears in only one scene in the entire series.

     

    I enjoyed the Lillie Langtry film and agree with your assessment of Peter Egan.

    Me, too.

  5. I had never seen *Odd Man Out*, but I really enjoyed this James Mason film. It was exciting, and the odd characters were interesting. Another good one from Carol Reed. I also watched

    *The Third Man* again and the documentary that followed.

     

    Angela Allen was with Reed discussing certain aspects of the film and the sites used

    in Vienna. Did anyone else see it?

  6. Enlightening video from Air France, Bronxie. It was quite Monet-like in some of its Mediterranean vistas. The Monegasque costumes were charming, and the little peasant blouses in the fashion show and on the tourists were so popular then, with the little elastic gathers in a scooped-neck off the shoulders presentation.

     

    As a teen when we traveled in Mexico, I had a blouse much like the white one with the ruffles.

    Did you see the Roman sandles on the lady with the dachsund and the little girl? Loved them.

     

    And several of the ladies sported that powder blue color on swimsuits and skirts and blouses which was so popular in the late forties, early fifties.

     

    I really enjoyed the "gondolier" jousting because it looked like such fun. And the little black poodle swimming on the shore near Antibes.

     

    I could have sworn I saw the Ritz Carlton from *It Takes a Thief.*

     

    But this video had me the moment the narrator said if you fly Air France and go to the coast, you can stop in Paris "at no extra cost." Now that's a real dream!
