What do you want for Christmas, Little Mr Bogle?
Droll is right! Leave it to Hollywood to discuss production (even with nude bodies) with boring small talk about big body parts. If you don't want to be objectified, then don't suggest only certain objects be filmed.

It's like asking which is my favorite movie! No, Revolution is a favorite, not the favorite.
Maybe this one is the favorite:

Apparently, yes, they did. It is noted that it is a Chicago-based group, not Broadway. and Ironically Anne Baxter and Bette Davis won it jointly, but not until 1973! Celeste Holm won it before them in 1968. Helen Hayes won the first in 1953.

> This movie is a time capsule of the period it was made showing how womens perceived roles and ageism effected their lives. Its sixty years later now and most of these ideas have been debunked or shoved underground although some of them still remain. It is well written and acted with a very appropriate ending. Eves exist in all walks of life now as they did then and always will. There is still tension in womens lives between the career and personal aspects. Its nice to its not a new problem.
Hum. Isn't Working Girl essentially the similar set-up, but viewed as the younger being the protagonist?. The protagonist/antagonist roles of younger/older being reversed. wow, hadn't noticed that before.
That would make an interesting double feature...

> Basically, Memorial Day was created as a tribute to those who served during the Civil War, while Veterans Day has its origin in celebrating the end of the World War in 1918. We could also create official holidays for V E and V J days of 1945, but this gets a little redundant after a while. As a nation we should acknowledge all of our veterans every day by supporting those programs (like the VA) that help them and their families when they need a little return of service. I think some of us put too much importance on this having a day of "war movies". I have known more then a few veterans who were never big on the idea of parades or watching movies all day; it brings back very unpleasant memories for them, they prefer to either forget that part of their lives or keep the events modest and personal.
I am glad you took the time to write your observations. After returning from his assignment at an air base in the Republic of Korea, my son said he was embarrassed by all the people who thanked him for his service. It bothers him that more men and women don't serve their country.
As he put it, "I didn't sign up to thanked. I signed up to serve."
For me personally, The Best Years of Our Lives and Till the End of Time reflects the veteran experience. And, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit

> EVE is partly about the crisis of a woman in th entertainment field turning 40. Davis was exctly 40 when she made the film. Streep & Kline are each past 60. Love 'em both & think it's inspired casting aside from the age factor.
I like the casting suggested. I think it would be more accurate to the ageism faced now. Having 40-somethings talk about being over the hill now would be laughable; most serious actors hit their stride now at 40.
> I'd certainly wait until after I'd heard some reviews before I'd think about seeing a remake of EVE. So much of what makes the film work for me is the brilliant script... and surely they wouldn't refilm the old script...
What makes the story is the dynamics of the situation involved; Joseph L. Mankiewicz's brilliant screenplay duly noted. Many of the best lines are in keeping with the period. Still, it would be an intriguing assignment.
