Here is something strange -- I always used to love Celeste Holm in this movie, but recently I'm becoming annoyed at Karen or worse yet, at the way Holm plays her, so very, very, very understanding and kind and heaven help me, I can almost understand how Margo is jealous of her, with her serene, homebody ways, the apparent money her family must have had to send her to Radcliffe, her contented, stable marriage to Lloyd. By the way, why DID Karen go to college? She doesn't have any profession it seems; we see her painting but that seems like a hobby. Did she quit in her junior or senior year to marry Lloyd? I do sympathize with Celeste and that "good morning" encounter with the very rude Bette offscreen.

I actually haven't seen Clifton in MR. BELVEDERE but I bet he's terrific. (and I really like him in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, btw) Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

HAHAHAHAHA I'm.....getting......hypnotized....it's....telling....me.....to.....watch.....JACK AND THE BEANSTALK tonight..... I will..... (well, I would've anyway)

That thing never dies, does it? LOL

Anne Shirley loved the book and the character and changed her name before she did the movie. I do so love ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, it's one of my all-time favorite stories and movies. (I love the Canadian t.v. version with Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla; she's kind of scary actually, lol) It's a girl thing.

I wonder what MONSTER A GO-GO is like. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

That's right, I remember Ed, wearing a long white dress and funny headgear. And I also recall a giant sundial.

From that trailer, you'd think the cave alone is the big deal -- "The CAVE of terror! "The CAVE of death!" "What horrible things await in the CAVE?" And it looks like the usual motley crew of characters, lol.

I can't imagine Clifton Webb in a bedroom, ladies or men's. I couldn't even believe it in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

I'd love to see THE UNKNOWN TERROR. Laundry detergent, LOL. Do the alien's minions bring along fabric softener? I see that May (THE CAINE MUTINY) Wynn is in the cast. That sounds like horror right there.

I like alien protoplasm.

I don't know if I'd call my landlady "kind" LOL. Believe me, if she had any use for the VCR it would never leave her sight. She has a whole DVD library and doesn't want to take the time to record anything; she just buys the movies. (her favorite is THE SECRET OF SANTA VITTORIA and she loves DIE HARD. You don't mess with her)

And to limelights and molo: Wait until you see him with Liz and Mia Farrow in SECRET CEREMONY. Those girls are a handful.

Thanks so much for your kind words about Mom. She just saw COOGAN's BLUFF as you know and wasn't impressed, lol. I told her the plot for NIGHT OF THE LEPUS and her response was: "You mean people actually made a movie about killer rabbits?" Yes, my glowing head Ethel Merman look-a-like landlady actually told me I could take her ages-old VCR (hope it works) so hopefulliy in no time I'll be able to get back in the recording swing of things.

I thought for sure Janet Leigh's wig was the town's secret weapon for frightening the bunnies to death.

I saw Puppet Potties at Walmart the other day. Maybe Tom Cruise could use one.

I never saw MACAO but that dialogue is to die for. And probably someone did! Thanks for a great post.

I'm sure Bill O'Reilly is preparing a show on it as we speak.

John Hoyt in ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE (or in anything) has the demeanor of a sour pickle, but if you want to, as the trailer says, "See a baby doll take a bubble bath in a coffee cup", you'll enjoy it! And I know this is a delicate topic, but I'm wondering if Hoyt concocted an elaborate plumbing system for his "dolls", with miniature porcelain throne rooms. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

Or: "Those rabbits are dynamite!"

LOL re: the droppings. Morris Ankrum should have been around; he'd know what to do. Or Randolph Scott. (Everyone sigh: "Ah, Randolph Scott....") Interesting how Whitman sends his wife and child 25 miles away for safety but the bunnies show up immediately anyway. I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that they do so and start attacking Janet and the daughter!

Agree about the age appropriateness of Charlene, but I know all red-blooded guys love Angie. I was a little disconcerted seeing Mitchum so drunk; I couldn't connect that with his sober self in the beginning; he just didn't seem like the type to fall apart over a woman! I'd like to see RIO BRAVO again and compare/contrast.

That beautiful melodic opening theme and the atmospheric Western paintings alone make me prefer this over RIO BRAVO, despite the fact that BRAVO is tighter, more "iconic" I do prefer Brennan over Hunnicut, although the latter was good. I thought at one point that Michelle Carey was Lee Grant! They both looked and sounded a bit alike to me strangely. I prefer Caan over Ricky. I don't know why, but I thought Mitchum was too good an actor to play the Dean Martin part, drunk or sober. Did you notice that once Duke gets that bullet lodged in his spine, his idiosyncratic walk becomes even more pronounced? I prefer Charlene Holt to Angie, simply because she's more subtle. Jimmy really held his own with Duke; my favorite scenes are of them just riding the dusty trails, with Caan spouting poetry.

Thanks so much cmvgor!

LOL They probably didn't think the bunnies were so BIG.
