Well, it's up to the reader to decide what to believe. I didn't read Quinn's book, so I can't comment on that. A memoir, rather than something written by a biographer by its very nature is not neutral or necessarily objective, depending on how truthful the person is. If the person is older when they write it, many of the people they knew may be dead. So they shouldn't write anything bad about them, because they can't object?

OMG! I'd never heard of this film. He must've really needed the money. Didn't Faces come out the next year or so?

Well, if it happened and you are writing your memoirs, why not write about it? Who wants to read a boring story with no conflict and everybody is nice to everybody?

CLASSIC JOAN!

LMREO!!!

It didn't look so smooth in her later years. Maybe she wasn't getting any.

Something one would wear around the house like Joan did.

Help for what???

LOL. This doesn't surprise me!

That wig/fall must've weighed a TON! (let alone the necklace)

Really built suspense, didnt it?

Yes, Liz, did variations of Martha in many of her post Woolf films. (To very diminishing box office returns). Need a shrew, call Taylor!

Would think MAME would've caused a vaseline shortage for other films!

I haven't seen Remember My Name in a long time, but I liked it. One of the few Rudolph films I did like. Great score by Alberta Hunter.

Yes, every once in awhile!

Yes, I looked him up after I saw his name and saw that. Sad.

Yes, Mitchum doesn't dominate the film. It's really an ensemble cast with several of the younger actors carrying a good part of it.

Mystic?

I liked it. It was confusing for awhile and I'm still not sure I understand all the plot points. Did Eddie sell out the gun selling guy or was it Peter Boyle? I was surprised how small Mitchum's part was. He was basically part of an ensemble cast. Some of the big scenes involved others. Felt really sad how his end was no more than a pothole in the plot. Part of the confusion for me in the beginning was I couldnt figure out what kind of character Richard Jordan was playing. Peter Boyle turned out to be a twofaced creep!

YES! Seeing Eddie and the Mank together made me realize how LITTLE MANK brings to the table. It's all his name, I guess. A real lightweight!

I do too. It's slow and on the talky side, but the atmosphere helps. I can't help thinking of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid as I watch it though, as so many clips from the film are used in it.

Why didnt he go on to better things? He was smokin HOT in Eddie Coyle! I'd seen him before, but never knew his name.

I happened to see part of it when I was switching channels. I couldn't believe LILLIAN GISH was in it! WTH?

Yes. Especially in that scene where she was yelling at the girl. Yeah, the teen actors (and kid) were awful.
