Latecomer to this thread. Charade has a key scene by a carousel in Paris (unsure what park it is in, but I think they mention it in the film) Of course, they cannily have the theme song playing as the carousel music..............

Yes, I can see that. But those movies did not seem phony to me............

It never seemed believable to me. I never bought the big romance..........Thought the blacklist part was really bad...........

YES. No doubt.

She was what I'd call buxom........does anyone still use that term? (LOL).

LOL! Hope I come across it one of these evenings.............

Yeah, Francis' first husband was long gone before she became a star........... How can one forget a name like Twelvetrees??? Unforgettable! LOL.

So they have shown it before? Didnt know that. I hope it turns up again.

Are they going into THAT during the Burton years??? What about Roddy McDowall?? (LOL).

I'd forgotten about Kay Francis. Yes, that was her first husband's name and she kept it as her professional name............

Can you blame her? LOL.

LOL. I love Western vampire pictures. There have been several. I saw one with John Carradine (forget the title)..........

But Joan wasnt tall! She was quite short. (she made up for it in other ways.........)

Yes, that house got quite a workout in films/tv shows. I remember seeing it often. I would love to see that Perry Mason episode (Constance gets to play a good girl? Or were both personalities bad? LOL) It's on MeTv. Maybe it will pop up one night!

No one could top her in those kind or roles. I didnt know she was on soaps too. I remember her in a small part as Joan Crawford's flunky in The Caretakers. Did she ever make prison movies? LOL........and of course she was in the recent Claudelle English sparkling as Diane McBain's bitchy mom.......... Edited by: Hibi on Jun 20, 2012 9:40 AM

He wrote quite a few biographies (Higham) and books on film. Is he still around? Oops. I guess he isnt! The Flynn biography was controversial, but he wrote biographies on Bette Davis and others that were pretty good........ Edited by: Hibi on Jun 20, 2012 9:35 AM

Why is Kevin McCarthy in the movie? (as a character) I dont remember him factoring in Liz' life........

Well, this is a Lifetime movie so the quality is suspect from the get go!

LOL............

Constance Ford. I loved her!

Didnt he get stuck in one? LOL!

Something tells me she'll be dropping the Arquette soon enough.........

When is this train wreck going to be televised? Has a date been set, does anyone know?

I was going to post that imdb reviews said he was dubbed for Too Marvelous for Words but you beat me too it. Wonder if he ever actually "sang" in films?

Now that's really SAD. I read it was released after his death............ I've seen Flirtation Walk, so I must've seen him in that...........
