No Man of Her Own -remade as Mrs. Winterborne decades later and is no match to the 1950 story.. I'm glad someone mentioned it.
Daisy Kenyon and Mildred Pierce are both dated material, yet, the one is dated badly (Daisy Kenyon) and one sort of enshrines the era (Mildred Pierce). I compare the sets and the Art Direction, and Daisy Kenyon comes off, as Vida puts it, "It's cheap material. If you're going to spend money, it should be for the best quality." hopefully, I have the quote correct.

I wish we could add Star rating to these last two. Maybe at the original post, so not to lengthen the thread.
I would give it:
4 Stars!
Thanks.
There was a thread to The Fountainhead. It does deserve one.

I admit I smile too, watching the expressions of the dinner guests when Lorens gently sucks the brains of the quail en Cailles en Sarcophage.

I really liked this flick! Coburn's not bothering with an accent so he didn't distract me; Ball using her eyes and expression more often than she did in Long, Long Trailer, and listening to Sanders and Hardwicke trying to out-smooth-talk each other, trying to act as "friends"? Whoa! the secretary?/friend? who lives in?? I guess I was seeing more red herrings than the script wanted me to see.
The Boris Karloff scene was to remind us it was, after all, Lucy.

SansFin,
Hopefully, you are writing these down elsewhere besides here, cause your recollections are amazing and a delight to read. You're better than Woody Allen!
Thank you for sharing.

Wow, I thought I was the only one welling up watching Silent Running as Dewey is watering the plants, unaware of the future.
I just saw Babette's Feast again, and I cried again during it..

KUNISSARAH:
I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences.
I have had some tragic things happen to me when I was very young, and later as a younger mother, but I hope I never to have a day that I could say was the worst of my life. Plenty of bad ones enough, hoping that nothing tops it.
Funny, even when struggling with money issues, never thought a job loss as the worst day of my life. Loss of love and loss of dreams will always be greater to me.

> I do not think it would be possible for me to say any one time was the worst. I grew up in a city which is a great seaport. I was in the military. I have worked in pediatric oncology wards. There have been great horrors in each as well as great joy. It is all part of life.

> It is fortunate that my mother has for all time been a source of frustration rather than sorrow. There was a day when we had to fight very hard to have police release her from a charge of disorderly conduct in time for her to be at a ceremony so the mayor could give her an award for civic contributions.
Sansfin, what a life! What a mother! I know there are sock puppets here who love to make things up, but this sounds amazingly true. Have you reconciled with what she did and who she is? Do you write? It sounds like a start of a great screenplay.

I don't have a DVR right now, so the enjoyment of TCM is fleeting.. and so important.I have concluded you cannot postpone what is your joy.
Don't worry too much about your spouse. There's hulu and CBS website has most of the stories there..
