Well I guess it's true...it's twue. Milk does a body good.

> "CineMaven, lol! Bounty is the quick picker upper." Got the Bounty. Thanxx. I keep seeing just a flash...just a hint of a subliminal message about the upcoming change in the Code of Conduct on this Message Board.

Hi there mrroberts. Lee Remick films will be featured on August 26th. I'm a big fan, and your description is so dead on. Musicalnovelty...how's it goin'? :-)

Great news! Take good care, Miss G.

I love these two film scores:

:-) Ha! :-) Pardner. :-)

Thank you Bronxie, Miss G. for your thoughts on Robert Cummings. It was nice read where you talk of the shades of difference that Robert Montgomery, Ray Milland and Cary Grant brings to a role. Miss G., if your friend is really your friend...she'll get Woody Strode on DVR for you. You know, once she sees Woody...she'll be hooked for the day.

Say Mongo....it's a small small world!

> "Oh, yeah. I always find out what a fellow's shoe size is, too. Just like Paula Prentiss in 'WHERE THE BOYS ARE.' Yes, big Jim Hutton fan..... " Shoe size?? Saaaaaaaaaay, just what the heck are you measuring Sue? Yes, Jackaaaay. Jim Hutton was cute. Didn't Jane Fonda need a tall boy in "The Tall Story" with Anthony Perkins?? Yes this is on topic. Anthony Perkins starred in a western with Jane's father: (The Tin Star"). Now back to the shoe size; just what the heck.......

I had guests visiting me from Massachusetts (Worcester, Leominster) last weekend. We went to the NYC Transit Museum (in Brooklyn) where, in one of the rooms, "SPEEDY" was being played.

I'm a little perplexed at all the hatin' against Robert Cummings. You ladies don't find his vacuousness charming? I always thought he was a cutie pie; could toss off a line as well as Sonny Tufts. What's the beef, gals? I...love that Bob.

"Jeepers, I didn't even know MissG was down. Honest, I haven't touched the blond ringlet'd voodoo doll in months! Heck, CM sent me a great photo of her and while, yes, I did create a set of enlargements, none of those have made it to the dartboard. Yet." YET?!! Uh-ohhhhhh. Well, do what you want with me...but don't touch a gray whisker on my little puppy's (big giant) head.

I'm not b*tching and moaning and whining and nitpicking about TCM's schedule. I see a number of stars who I can't wait to see their day. I'm grateful for all that TCM does for classic films and classic film lovers. (Love Julie Christie). Keep rockin' it TCM!

I don't see any resemblance between Peggy and Judy, Kingrat. But I could envision Judy playing the part of Annie Laurie Starr (of course the movie-going public and Louis B. Mayer would never accept it, though). When things started to unwind for our hapless couple, I could see Judy getting more and more high strung, unhinged, hysterical...and manic. LOOK OUT!!! Oh crap, Dorothy's got a gun and she's just shot Toto!!! :-(

She and Annette Bening and Julianne Moore are among today's finest actresses. I like Patricia Clarkson too, Anne.

Six feet?!! < Whistle! > Whew!!!! You have to go for the Jim Hutton-type then.

"Agh! I haven't seen it. Another trip to youtube and Netflix...." Well get thee to a video store, Jack! Wha'cha waitin' for? I thought "Crime of Passion" was pretty good...and said a lot about a woman not pursuing her true vocation (especially if it has nothing to do with baking cookies and darning socks). Maybe I could get my Dad to watch this. "It's funny., though.. ... all during this conversation I've been thinking of Stanwyck....mostly in 'Clash By Night' and 'The Furies.' I have no solid comparisons yet, but Stany just keeps popping up in my thoughts when I think about Annie Laurie Starr." Missy and Bette Davis were two of the strongest women I knew in movies. They've had their share of plugging men full o' holes...deservedly so, I'm sure. They all of them certainly did bring their own brand of femininity and callousness to those parts: Stanwyck, Davis, Jane Greer, Ava, Rita, Astor, Ann Savage, Marie Windsor, Lana, Tierney, Claire Trevor...etc. Hot and cold, soft and steely. Femme fatales. I love 'em. Well... ya gotta love them...at your own risk. :x

Howsa Grimesy - ?I loved what you wrote about ?Gun Crazy?, Lively Gal. It was just as dizzying as watching lovers on the run. Great pacing.? As always...I thank you! Just trying to keep up with the Joneseseseses. "I can tell you that I was turned on by Peggy. I love her hips in those tight-fighting clothes. And those hats! Awesome." She was a nice little package, though I wasn?t quite into her look as a femme fatale. The screen cap below with her eyes wide open is quite demented. I liked her dastardly deeds more than her look. "Female power and control. Uh-huh. Ahhhh, film noir." ...And not just in Noir, Bub! ?So if Bart chose to leave Annie, do you think she would have looked to win him back?? ?I don't know what would happen to Annie if Bart left her. I think she would completely fall apart. I don't know.... part of me says she would kill him. Another choice would that she would take herself out in a blaze of glory. She is very animal, so she might just crawl in a hole and die.? - JackFavell Annie's not suicidal. She would never hurt herself. She is a homicidal maniac. I believe if they parted in the beginning of the movie, she wouldn?t have felt it. She was ready to give him the kiss off then. There was Barry Kroeger but he didn?t have the sweetness of Dall?s Bart. By the end of the movie...she had some of whatever passed as her emotion, vested in Bart. If he tried to leave her, she probably would have unloaded a cartridge into him. Hey hey Jackaaaaaay - ?...She liked the reflection of herself in Bart's eyes. And isn't that what marriage is all about, Charlie Brown?? There?s something in what you say ?Lucy.? My ex- liked me not to wear my sunglasses when we greeted each other; ...liked the love light in my eyes. ?She's making business decisions. She's not putting people out of their homes for profit or anything. She's an entrepreneur, but there isn't a place for an Annie Laurie in big business in 1954. So she starts her own small business - she wields a cold and ruthless gun instead of a telephone.? Funny, in reading your comment...it reminds me of how Stanwyck subjugated her drive and ambition to further her husband's (Sterling Hayden) career in "Crime of Passion."

WoW!!! You really brought the circle around. Ha! You make me laugh.

I fear we're getting off-topic. So let me get back on topic: If you rreally want to know the truth: I was totally in love with Johnny Crawford of "THE RIFLEMAN." I've never seen a more handsome (Western) boy.

I'll take Wally...his tan pants...loafers and little pug nose drove my pre-pubescent heart crazy. I :x Wally Cleaver!

< Spit Take! >

Paul! << ( sigh ) >>

> "OH my goodness!! You are the FIRST person to feel like I do about Little Joe! I was never able to like him as much as the other brothers and everyone always looks at me like I'm crazy because he usually is the favorite." And who did you like the best: John, Paul, George or Ringo?
