Well, the name "Eric Braeden" is, at the least, more interesting than the name "Vicki Lester." And he doesn't look like he's missed a meal or a manicure in several decades...With all his kudos and credits, if he is still that incensed, he could still legally revert it.

Kyle, I have been enjoying this thread for some time. I am especially entranced by that Caesar and Cleopatra art with Claude Rains and Vivien Leigh. Beautiful. And the Marion Davies' posters. Lovely. Thanks for working so diligently keep sharing these beautifully touching and historical posters!

Oh, I'd forgotten the great landscape. It did make me want to wander Cornwall and take it all in. And I remember the lengthy looks between Robin Ellis and Angahrad Rees and how it seemed so unrequited forever....

Sorry for the double post, folks. I just couldn't delete one of them.

Does anyone remember the BBC series *POLDARK* ? I only saw it once back in the 70's. I thoroughly enjoyed that series at the time. It came out about the same time as Tom Tryon's *Harvest Home* with Bette Davis. It starred Robin Ellis, Angaharad (spelling?) Rees, and Judy Geeson. I think they are reshowing it in the UK. It's about a man returning from the war to his estate, and the love story between Gemelza and Ross is enthralling as I so enjoyed this miniseries as a college gal. I think it was on Masterpiece Theater in 1974 or 1975. Poldark marries Gemelza and it was shocking for the times because she was not one of the landed gentry of his class. Angaharad Rees creates jewelry and has a shop in London now, according to imdb. Commentary, anyone?

I can't wait until April. What a truly delightful way to celebrate an anniversary!

I highly recommend the Lee Server 's Sam Fuller, Robert Mitchum, and Ava Gardner. I consider the Gardner biography one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I also enjoyed the Maureen O'Hara book. And I read the Tony Curtis excerpt in Vanity Fair. Pretty juicy stuff for just an excerpt!

Dear cmvgor, Lone Star State of Mind--I still haven't seen it, but I reckon' down here you can make a case for just about anything!

Just roamin' around the Lone Star State trying to avoid Kinky Friedman pitchin' his new book about losin' the governor's race.

I SAILED TO TAHITI WITH AN ALL GIRL CREW.

Cross-cultural and intercontinental exchange of architecture and mathematics have often been subjects of research explaining similarities in building plans and methods.Etmylogical archaelogy, using words from different languages to trace moments in time where cultures clashed or cohabited, has revealed that the Greek work for god, teo, is also incorporated into several native dialects of Mexico. Teotihuacan, the large pyramid complex north of Mexico City, means place of the gods, and teocalli means temple in nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. In Greek, the word for temple is teocalia.Papalotl, the nahuatl word for butterfly, is also similar to the French word for butterfly, papillon. Some ancient Phoenician words are also said to be similar to nahuatl.

I've been fine, but very busy. Hope you are well! Great thread idea.Sue 2

I can't believe youse guys left out NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS!

I'm sorry. I don't know.

I do feel that Dial M for Murder, like Mr. Arkadin points out, is rather a "below the radar" Hitch, but I find I prefer to watch it again and again because the psychology of the characters is so interesting. I mean, I don't think I would ever choose Bob Cummings to have an affair with if I had been bored with my ex-tennis pro hubby, but I've always felt that Cummings was such a mismatch for Kelly even though his character does save her. I haven't done any research on the initial advertising from the film's initial release, but I don't recall much of a build up for this film. Does anyone recall ever hearing Hitch laud this one? Great points, again, Moira and Arkadin. And thanks for getting this topic going, Miss G. Does anyone else feel about Bob Cummings like I do? Anyone with insider info as to why Hitch selected Cummings? And I do see some of the fussiness of the cleaning up/emasculation angle occurring, but that never bothered me as much as why Bob Cummings was chosen for this film. Maybe it's just that Milland and Cummings were older than Kelly.

Patrick MCcGoohan was great, and I didn't know he was born in Queens. I fell in love with him while watching The Three Lives of Thomasina when I was in the second grade.

Miss G, that link critique was a fascinating read, and an accurate accounting of the psychology of Dial M for Murder. I hope everyone finds a moment to read through the updated review.

I am so glad I was informed about this movie. I enjoy jazz, Shakespeare, and now this great Brit Noir. Thanks for the forehsadowing, Dewey!

"I think that is a terrific idea! Having the host of Essentials interact with board members about the hows and whys of the choices would be a great addition to this board and definitely kick it up a major notch and give us all a chance to not only learn but be part of the conversation as well! I hope TCM Programmer sees your post!" I AGREE!

Dolores Grey is one reason I enjoy "The Opposite Sex" so much. She really knew how to wear her clothes well and use them as props to keep some screen business going.

I'm not overly consumed with Victorian modesty, as you seem to be. Nor do I believe that Mrs. Muir's modesty extended itself once she began to be more comfortable with Gregg's presence...

I was expressing a desire for a more pleasant locale and someone to fill in the intellectual gaps untended by the mundane, in addition to the scenery supplied by Rex Harrison...

I want a cottage by the sea and Captain Gregg to visit me, too!

I agree with you, johnm. Garner's delivery of Paddy Chayefsky's well-crafted cynicism made Charlie a rascal, not a wastrel.
