I love this film. It may be my favorite Fellini film. I particularly like the scene in which the characters come down the staircase, to Rota's great music, as Brunello Bova watches in wonder.

Lloyd Nolan was in Every Day's a Holiday with Herman Bing.

I think Pasolini's Salo: 120 Days of Sodom is a great film, though certainly horrifying. I love the ending, with the two boys dancing. One of the great endings of a bizarre film. (Scene begins around 1:13).

Husband was raised in the Bronx. Early in his career, he worked for the establishment in the field that Wife was connected with, in her electrifying musical performance.

Olivia de Havilland was in Anthony Adverse with Joseph Crehan.

Today's hint: Wife gives an "electrifying" performance in her arguably most famous supporting role (and she wasn't even trying). In the role for which the husband won his Oscar, the woman his character was in love with also won an Oscar.
-
Well, I don't approve of all these passings, but I'll take the thread and hope whoever answers will continue to play the game. This Oscar-winning actor was married to a woman who lit up the screen. She had small and supporting roles in many movies and television shows. She was not a schlepper, nor was she demure. His Oscar was for one of his earliest movies.

I'm sorry but I just NEED to talk about DARK SHADOWS
Swithin replied to LornaHansonForbes's topic in General Discussions
I didn't watch Dark Shadows -- the timing was not convenient -- but I did love Strange Paradise, a Canadian horror show inspired by the success of Dark Shadows. -
Coming Apart (1969) Fancy finding this advert online! I saw the film at the Continental in Forest Hills, Queens. (The Ascot in the Bronx was my usual art house as a youth, but I was visiting friends in another borough that evening.)

Irene Rich was in Fort Apache with Movita.

Correct, Bunny, you are the hottest thing in old Klopstokia, and it's your turn!
