Any chance Erik Preminger can introduce *Laura*? Any chance Isabella Rossellini can introduce *Casablanca*?

It sounds like it's gearing up to be the place to be in April. Jerry's introducing "The King of Comedy." I like that! And Luise Rainer...what a talent! And Jon Voight...hubba hubba!

Good post, kingrat! I enjoyed reading it, and you made some excellent points.

I completely agree, Dougie. And I also loved the name Marilla for Bacall's character. I just felt it suited her like no other character name she had in any other of her films.

I generally gravitate to the genre of romantic comedy, and one of my favorites is, obviously, *The* *Major and The Minor*. I hope TCM's romantic comedy fans had a chance to see this gem when it was recently aired.

Happy Birthday to Casablancalover!

I love Copland's "Appalachian Spring" and Ansel Adams! BTW, Happy Birthday to Casablancalover!

Me, too! I loved how he said "Lilly."

I kept having trouble reading crawl lines and subtitles, and I realized I had accidently hit the zoom/HD button on my remote.

It sports great Runyonesque-style characters, and Dolores Gray, who wore such great clothes in The Opposite Sex, is the other woman. But if I had managed to snag Gregory Peck, I'd be happy to just rattle them pots and pans in the kitchen. It's a fun romp, and Bacall and Peck are a cute couple. I recommend it.

She did travel to Europe in 1936 to 1937 and helped smuggle $50,000 to help a group of people who wanted to depose Hitler.

I would love to see Debbie Reynolds there! Maybe if she can't come, she'll send Carrie to help introduce *Singing in the Rain*.

I can't wait!

You're right. I needed to go back and review the rules. Sorry. The link is Winona Ryder. I was linking Pesci with Home Alone.

This is one of my favorite films, hence my screen moniker, Sue Sue Applegate. In the movie, however, the character's name is spelled "SU-SU." One day in the 70's, I was watching the afternoon feature in Houston, Texas, and my life was changed. I had always been a mimic ( doing impressions of my friends, relatives, cartoon characters, and movie stars), but I had kept much of my repertoire to myself , my immediate family, and a few close friends. After I saw that movie, I was able to embrace my inner impressionist. Here was Ginger Rogers, a famous movie star, and she could do impressions of her mother, a twelve-year-old, Rita Johnson, and several other characters within the framework of her character, Susan Applegate from Stevenson, Iowa. I felt that since Ginger could succeed so well with her ability to mimic, I might as well embrace my "gifts" as well. Since that afternoon when my mother encouraged me to watch that movie, I was able to delve into my vast internal landscape of archived silliness and make as much merriment as I dared. So not only do I enjoy viewing this movie, but I also relished the liberation it bestowed upon a gawky teenager with big feet and even bigger fears of exposure. In my family, once it was known that you had any talent at anything, you were required to perform for family gatherings, in doctor's offices, on an airplane, under an umbrella waiting in line for a movie, and anywhere my mother or father decided to exploit my "talents." Anyone else have fond memories of Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland, Rita Johnson, and Diana Lynn in "The Major and The Minor?" Sincerely, Sue 2

I am so excited! I hope I can arrange to be there!
