Ha! Wish I did.
Your guilty conscience keeps you up. You feel so much guilt for all the pain and misery you lavish on me each and every day. During the day, you have a way of dealing with the guilt...

Hi, Miss Elizabeth! -- There is no such thing as a rational woman. There just ain't.
just lovely.....you've met quite a few around here.
I thought I had but time has proven that thought wrong.
i never consider myself to be above any of your "loving" words, silly goose! imagination galore!
Why is "loving" in quotes? I detect some insincerity.
I'm never mean to you. Everyone knows I shower you with kindness.
if you didnt already know....there's a difference between making a girl cry and making a girl giggle.
There is? Maybe that's my problem. I look to make girls cry.
She's always looking to ruin men's lives.
yeah only one.......yours! muwaahhaaaa!
You made me laugh.
Greer (and other girls) is definitely ruining my life.You first drown a guy in your puppy dog eyes and then you strangle him to death while wearing your long black gloves.
well that certainly is a sight to see....im not strong enough. im too dainty....so much for that assumption frankie.
A man who has drown in your eyes doesn't put up much resistance. They are easy to strangle and you cannot resist doing so, Femme Fatale.
Everyone knows how much it hurts me, a sweet angel, to be treated so horribly. Now look who's crying for me...
i cant believe youre using "lizzie" to feel pity upon you!!
She couldn't believe you'd hurt someone as kind and gentle as I.
seem isnt that sweet? mr, darcy is coming to aid her in her time of need!! how romantic!
Who is Mr. Darcy? Is that Liza's pa?
Bonjour, T?moin! -- Au contraire, I am a Witness and can prove it. I'll send you some literature.
That sounds like reading and you told me I can't read.

Your comebacks are starting to fall short. What's the matter, are you tired? Are we finally wearing you down?
Yes. I now sleep nights.
-
FixinToQuilt is correct, the portrait is in the film. What I posted was a screen cap from Blood Simple.
-
I loved your little "uh-ohs" and "here she goes."
That was definitely an anti-war statement. Excellent points by mama Maddy.
-
Thanks for the heads-up, Arkadin. I'm very interested in seeing Kim Novak in a film noir.
-
All of the caps you have posted from The World Moves On tonight have been fascinating. Brilliant selections. I really like the look of pain and love on Maddy's face as the train takes off.

Ironically, it is I who must leave town.
Why "ironically"? It's quite literally what we've all been hoping for in Shinbone.
I'll leave once I help you ingrates become civilized. It's about time a REAL MAN
stand up for the ladies in town.
I guess I like shoving things around to make more room for myself!
You said it, PUSHY.
How do we vandalize something that is already a mess?
Sweet T wasn't talking about vandalizing you.

I love those last pics of Madeleine Carroll- her hair just slightly out of place makes her more beautiful to my way of thinking.
I'm definitely with you on that one, Jackie. Especially for the reasons that are inferred in the scene you speak of.
-
Wow! That's a very romantic scene. You captured it well. Ahhhhhh, Madeleine.
I've seen quite a bit of romanticism in the Ford films I have seen to date. Rio Grande is a highly romantic picture.
-
I am very impressed with you, Blondle. You are absolutely on it. Your "three Madeleines" and "consumation" observations are dead on. I believe that's exactly what Ford is attempting to convey. Nice visual analysis! Excellent caps.
-
That's terrific! It looks to be a film that's very much my speed. I enjoy films about fate and other "worlds," like Portrait of Jennie.
You can see F.W. Murnau's influence on Ford in that last cap. Wonderful cap.
-
Are you sure?
-
I'm sure it's Blood Simple since Hedaya and McDormand are married in the film.
-
Thank you! You are very correct, Madeleine looks stunning! I love her curls
in the back. The menu screen is quite beautiful. Thank you for posting
these, O' Lovely Goddess.
-
then I probably should leave town.
One can only hope.
Ironically, it is I who must leave town.

Hi-di-ho, ChiO -- Did you see who's in first in the NL Central with the second-best record in the NL? Didya, huh, huh?
Is it the Bucs?
Now we're beating up NY teams. Oh, we know it can't last, but already the second 100 years is looking better than the first.
I'm only at the beginning of my "100 years."Maybe we can pass baseball notes in class while the others are discussing Fordian slips.
Like I'm going to be in a Ford class. I'll meet you in the boy's room. I do my best writing on the wall. I'll make sure to let you know which number NOT to call for a good time.
Howdy, ButterscotchGLORIA -- i certainly hope so! you know me, i feel guilty if im mean all day to you. heehee!
All day? More like, always.
althought its more than you deserve!
What?! I deserve so much more. You force me to watch two Greer films, Smithy's Random Harvesting of Female Victims and The Valley of Decisive Homewrecking, and my reward is abuse. I thought you would be appreciative, but there's no satisfying you. You're starting to remind me of another snippy, pushy, stubborn, wrongheaded girl around here. I told you she's bad for you.
-
I must depart, but before I do...
oui monsiour!! "i am a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart". heehee!
There is no such thing as a rational woman. There just ain't.
on the contrary, you never compliment me!
I compliment you ALL the time. I can't help it if you Jane Austen girls consider yourselves to be above my loving words. I try.
you just wave your tough guy meaness in my puppy dog eyes and then how do i reply to that?
I'm never mean to you. Everyone knows I shower you with kindness.
Bashing sirsnobbery is something to be proud of. That's what traditional gentlemen do.
i dont ever recall larry olivier, or ronald colman, or walter pidgeon bashing snobbery like you do! they were sweet men full of heart and compliments!
Of course they don't bash sirsnobbery because they are snobs.
I only turn violent when I watch trashy Greer Garson films.
what from her films triggers such treachery?
She's always looking to ruin men's lives.
i can honestly say that i have never heard of any guy's anger being triggered by a romantic kiss in a greer movie.
You've just met one.
Another bullseye, Eliza.
more evidence!! april you have to witness this!
Your little finishing school doll can't witness a thing.
Because you're wearing your femme fatale black gloves.
oh come now, frankiefurter, i have already told you that i cant handle a gun, and im a klutz, so if i had a knife in my hand, i would probably set it down, b./c i would drop it inadvertently silly goose!
You first drown a guy in your puppy dog eyes and then you strangle him to death while wearing your long black gloves.
So Jane Austen intelligently teaches women to inform the men they long for to "go drop dead"? How romantic.
you said it! i didnt! heehee!
So Jane Austen girls want to romance a dead man? As someone may say, "grossness!"
you cant spring puppy dog eyes on me! thats not fair, thats my job! i have a tear coming......its so sad to see someone i know crying unless its out of joy, and by that picture, you dont look happy.
Everyone knows how much it hurts me, a sweet angel, to be treated so horribly. Now look who's crying for me...
-
well i figured i was "snobbish" enough on the P&P thread. heehee! i had to make up for it!
That's a good start, Snobby.

Hitchcock wanted Joan Fontaine for some of his films after Suspicion (1941). But David O. Selznick refused to loan her out.
In terms of performances, I place Joan's near the very top of the Hitch list. Most of Hitch's ladies weren't asked to play wide emotional ranges, but Joan was in both Rebecca and Suspicion. Tippi Hedren was another of Hitch's actresses who was asked to do so, too. Tippi doesn't get the credit she deserves.
Sadly, Alfred Hitchcock and Ernst Lubitsch didn't get a chance to direct more intense dramas. Ernst Lubitsch directed a brilliant "anti-war" film called Broken Lullaby. There are lots of brilliant camera shots in the film. Playwright Robert E. Sherwood praised this film by calling it "The best talking picture that has yet been seen and heard." But the film turned out to be a box office disaster. So Ernst Lubitsch didn't make serious films after Broken Lullaby (1932). Robert E. Sherwood wrote the screenplays for films like Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946).
I can't really speak on Lubitsch, but in regards to Hitch, I'm glad he didn't make too many intense dramas. I prefer his "boy" films the most. I think when he chose to be serious, he stripped himself of his own personal touch. He would lose his boyish mischief.

Hi, Little Miss Milland -- I like your friendly enthusiasm, young lady.
I'm gonna be very selfish (subjective) with my choices.

2. Gene Tierney

Howdy, California Kid -- "The California Kid may be headed for a hangin'. I'd like to help ya out, pardner, but you've done me wrong too many times. You're on your own, son." - FrankGrimes
How quickly they turn. But I ain't afraid. You're not the only one who can play Will Kane around here, ya know. Though now I'll have to recruit someone else to help me with my plan for "May 7th".
If the plan is putting an end to the "Cooper" thread, I'm with ya 100%, pardner. Something must be done. I've had enough of them gals coming into town and thrashing everyone with their silver-knobbed whips. It's about time someone stands up to them. Doniphon has been cowardly hiding in the shadows for too damn long. Now pardon me while I go to the beauty salon to fine the most stunningly perfect shade of lipstick for the big day. A fella must always look ever so pretty.
And my indifference to Wayne and Westerns isn't exactly "news" to 'lzcutter'.
So why are you shhshing us, Shhhshy? You are so dramatic. I wish you'd follow my lead and just speak it straight. I'm always on the level.
She knows I'd rather discuss Young Mr. Lincoln than Rio Grande. Besides, it's not like I brushed off William A. Wellmann. (Which I kinda did once. She humored me.)
Lynn nearly scalped me for saying Barbara Stanwyck should have been the "Star of the Month" for her 100th birthday instead of her beloved Randy Scott. She's a tough dame.
"That's a rather strange poster for "Red River"."
Duh! It's Danish. Have you seen their furniture?
I guess John Wayne must have seen their furniture because he looks like "The Mummy" in that poster, pilgrim.
And I turned into a mummy after seeing a John Ford poster today. You talk tough when it comes to not caring about what Lynn thinks of your dislike (indifference, my rear) of John Wayne, but your actions are weak. You actually make Doniphon look brave.
Howdy, Tough Dame -- Bad news. Kyle copped to both a few years ago so his posting it again came as no surprise.
He must live in fear of you if he's whispering the word. What did you do to him? Do all the women on this board take great pleasure in hurting men? I've never seen such a thing before.
He paid the price back then, no need in further torturing him about it at this late date.
I believe it's time for a review of Kyle's misdeeds. Thankfully, my slate is sparkling clean.
You are going to watch Harvey in the morning aren't you?
Uh-oh. Don't tell me I'm about to get the business Kyle got before.

Vous ?tes une dame ind?cent, Femme Adult?re!
Yes, like hating kind, caring gentleman like myself. Such manners.
no, thats in your imagination too
It's in my imagination that you are always looking to drown me? And for what? For telling you that you are sweet. Such ungrateful behavior.
she taught me to stand up in front of men such as yourself, that take pride in bashing "british snobs"
Bashing sirsnobbery is something to be proud of. That's what traditional gentlemen do.
im starting to believe that you live in a violent world darlin'.
I only turn violent when I watch trashy Greer Garson films.
im just never going to win!
Another bullseye, Eliza.
I haven't seen it. I speak the truth. Why don't you believe me? You know I'm always upfront and honest with you.
"then why do i see fear behind your eyes?" heehee!
Because you're wearing your femme fatale black gloves.
"Elizabeth" longs for the day when I'm treated with love from prissy, snippy girls.
no, she longs for her darcy, whom she just told to go drop dead basically. sounds familiar.......
So Jane Austen intelligently teaches women to inform the men they long for to "go drop dead"? How romantic.
and the last time i checked, she wasnt longing for you.
She was just longing for me to be loved and appreciated. She knows how needless and uncalled for the abuse has been against me.
you arent a gentleman! youre a conieving, man of such an imagination.

Hey, Konway -- Did anyone noticed the difference between Mrs. Danvers in the novel and Mrs. Danvers in Hitchcock's film? Its true that Selznick insisted to make the film faithful to the novel. But in the film, I found Mrs. Danvers very different. I think Hitchcock might be responsible for the changes in character. In the novel, Mrs. Danvers is old and more like a jealous mother figure. She looked after Rebecca, since she was a child. But in the film, we see a much more younger Mrs. Danvers. And we don't know anything about the past of Mrs. Danvers in the film. The only thing we know about Mrs. Danvers is she became to Manderley when Rebecca was a bride.
I've never read the novel, so I don't have the foggiest. The Goddess should be intimately familiar with the book, so maybe she can chirp about it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on some of Hitch's prospective projects. The Constant Nymph sounds interesting and I'm sure it would have been twice as devilish if Hitch directed it. I adore Alma.
Greer (and other girls) is definitely ruining my life.

Yes but it has lots of purty pictures for you to look at.
Grace Kelly is in it?
