I watched the film again, and although I liked the main story between Jane and DeNiro, the film as a whole had a choppy narrative. Swoosie (I like her too) and her hubby disappear from the film midway and are never seen or talked about again, despite living in the same house as Jane! I'd read they move out, but that whole subplot as to why and when was cut. Also Martha Plimpton's story seems underdeveloped too. Like there were cuts there as well.

Really stupid. Doesn't bode well. Why buy them then?

I hadn't heard that about Anthony George! Didn't he have a brother who was married to Lynda Day? (Who went by Day George for awhile). It's not the same guy, right? I remember now, it was CHRISTOPHER George Day was married to. They looked so much alike!

The first 6 months (which I barely remember as it's never shown in syndication) was more a Gothic soap opera. Vicky Winters is hired as a governess to an unruly child by a woman who hasn't left her spooky mansion in 20 yrs. There are hints she might be her daughter, but that never develops into any plotline. VIcky is an orphan, so she doesn't know who her parents are. Then there's Burke Devlin who returns to town after being in prison for something he didnt do (Roger was involved somehow, I forget the details) who wants revenge against the Collins family. Apparently the ratings weren't good and they launched Barnabas in a last ditch effort to avoid being cancelled and it worked! From that moment on it was anything goes on that show! LOL.

Talk about being in a casting rut! (Lara Parker).

Interesting. I read Joan's book years ago and don't remember that. I was aware he was married to Smith. Funny he tried to get her on the show.

It's a Fox film.

I hadn't heard this. Why was he so unliked?

That's awful. I hope that's not the case with Disney.

I think it was Barnabas she was sticking pins in. I know it wasn't Dennis Patrick. They weren't in the same storyline. I hated Clarice Blackburn. Don't think she lasted that long in the show.

Sad.

Dig those white sandals in the robe pic!

That's the only film I saw her in also. I don't know why she didn't have more of a career. Did she retire and marry a rich man?

A beautiful woman.

I don't even remember this film! Did it bomb?

Which of Joan's films were your favorites at Capitolfest?

How many of Fox films HAVE they acquired? What do they intend to do with them??

Thanks, for posting this!

I recorded it. She was big in England at the time. There were plans to team her with Fred Astaire, but it never happened.

LOL. Didn't know that. It's the DARK SHADOWS curse!

LOL. So many witty exchanges in that film. A film Lubitsch could've made.

No one ever dies on this show! LOL.

LOL. I used to hate those news interruptions. There were several during the Mideast War crisis.

LOL. No wonder I've forgotten about her!

Yes, I've seen pictures of it when it was the A&M studios.
