I was a little rough on you JH, I don't think you meant to cause earworms.
An olive branch, from the lovely Olivia Newton-John:
Remember when Pop/Country was the thing?

George Harrison is fine... But remember, it is late at night, it is the last clip, and JH, I wonder if there is no awareness of what you've done. I knew a disc jockey in the seventies who wouldn't play this for fear of complaints of Ear Worm. Sadly, this hit is just the sort of thing that causes this. Repetitious lyric, simple rhythm. *My Sweet Lord !!*
Ha, cure for earworm, Take Two of these:

Sorry to ramble into dangerous Disco territory. It was the Title that got me to post it.

I do not have time to read all these posts, but are some folks confusing Digital transmission with High Definition picture? All stations must transmit in digital since the conversion, but many, many stations will not go to High-Definition for a year or two yet..

Thank you, Hudson Hawk, for explaining things to us. The lack of sensitivity and lack of respect given to other posters is noted. Maybe you wanted to be understood. Don't we all?
I think when people discuss any movie, it has succeeded on some level. I do believe we come to these boards with knowledge and feelings. Movies do reach us on an emotional level. I do not think any opinions here invalidate your view. Please do not invalidate theirs.
I glad you brought your observations up. Thank you for them.

> It does bother me that Catherine didn't look into a mirror and say "Maybe if I did something with my hair and my clothes..." What is missing is a NOW VOYAGER type of transformation and realization. While her father and Morris were cruel to her, her own worst enemy was herself.
>
> However, had she married Morris, we have the possibility that he could either try to GASLIGHT her or put something in her beverage of choice to bump her off. Someone like Morris would not be satisfied with just living in the house with Catherine. Within her own self-limiting perspective, she made the right choice.
clore-
You have asked the great what if that is the start of many a screenplay. I vote with the first scenario, though the second has possibilities too.. Get cracking...

I am pleased someone has finally brought this up!
*The Heiress* takes place during a time when a marriage of convenience was rather common, and not always the wealthy man/woman of diminishing resources. It is an intriguing question.
Catherine believed what she needed out of the relationship. She _believed_ Morris would never be able to provide that. Catherine has very powerful beliefs. When she discovers what she sees as Morris' true nature, she relies on her view and her belief that she has been betrayed. When we examine her relationship with others, I find this all very believable myself. I like the way the characters are drawn.
It is Morris' nature I start to question in the end. What makes this movie so good for me, is it does shake up _my_ view of the relationship too.
*What if* in the closing scene, Morris realizes he loves her for herself, and not the money. It is never clear to me that Morris knows exactly why he is rejected. Don't you think??

>*I think very few people are happy. They wait all their lives for something to happen to them - something great and wonderful. They don't know what it is but they wait for it. Sometimes it never happens. What they want is the kind of spirit I found in those letters. A spirit that makes life beautiful. I love that man. I loved him more than my own life. I still love him. So you see, I couldn't have loved Roger Moreland, the man I killed.*

I think I like her in *Love Letters* more than anything else. She has this ethereal quality that really taps into the story. Love that movie..

Great choices, Jake, for Bread. Those songs have had many views, but this one was a _monster_ hit:

>Laurel: (reading a script) *I love the love scene, it's very good.*
>Dix: *Well that's because they're not always telling each other how much in love they are. A good love scene should be about something else besides love. For instance, this one. Me fixing grapefruit. You sitting over there, dopey, half-asleep. Anyone looking at us could tell we're in love.*
