"But you are, Blanche. You are..."

My darling, it is late and I am very tired of youth, love, and self-sacrifice." Hi Molo...I don't know where this quote is from to be honest. But I can imagine her saying this. FilmFatale and Lafitte...you're so kind. Yep, I will go 'd-c.' I guess I put pressure on myself when I saw the list of possible films for discussion. Also, no fair using the Ann-Margret YouTube clip. No fair!! Message was edited by CineMaven: pssst! someone pass me their crib notes.

That is unacceptable Molo!!! You mean to tell me that you could do the Ford class...but can't do a class on voyeurism? No! I want you to look at the list of films listed for the class for possible discussion and read ChiO's points he wants to cover. You can do it. Even if it's just ONE film: "Vertigo" "Psycho" "Rear Window" to name a few. I look forward to reading your comments on this thread starting September 2nd. They'd better be there or so help me I'll get ya. Even if I have to crawl back from my grave to get you. (Don't worry...that's no real threat. I just wanted to hearken back to a favorite movie line from "Marked Woman." JK hogs up that thread with his favorite lines that I don't wanna go there anymore.) But seriously, don't sit out the class. Talk at least about one film. I'm looking forward to reading your work. (You never disappoint in the Double G thread).

If that's the case (5,000 years old) Frank (like Kharis) is a lucky man...he gets to hang with the lovely Ramsay Ames. You're a lucky boy FrankGrimes. ;-) ;-)

Ooooooh, I think not Film Fatale. I think I might've said too much on a couple of threads. I'd better just use Standard English; you know...dictionarially-correct words.

LAFITTE: "Unless we want to define it thusly; "A word made up by the Maven." Soytenly. Put me up there with Monsieur Webster... or Norm Crosby! ;-)

Ken Russell directed "Women in Love" with the great GLENDA JACKSON.

Love Barry Brown in that film.

"East of Eden" is a classic. But call me crazy, call me silly, but I really liked him in "Who Killed Teddy Bear?"

Rosalind Russell or Gale Sondergaard or Gail Patrick as the beautiful but evil Queen who gives Snow White the apple.

This is wonderful news. I'm a big fan of Robert Ryan. I must make my way over to the Silver Screen Oasis board. I'll bet he was soooo gentle with his daughter.

I wrote this in another thread. But I thought my opinions were worth repeating for all to see: "I really wonder what that movie premiere audience thought when they saw Rita Hayworth in "Gilda" swingiing hips, tossing hair, tortured woman. The sexiest thing on the planet...I wonder what Hedy, Ava and Lana thought when they saw her in "Gilda." Jesus she could make stone melt." Hey hey...I don't take myself that seriously, don't worry. Too many threads on the same topic though.

On top of the thread you silly goose. ;-)

I will take the late, great Eduardo Cianelli.

I'm not sure about Frank Fay...but I'll betcha Robert Taylor had a good time.

I should have posted replies to myself, not you, and for that I apologize." --SCSU ****?!! You're apologizing??

Oh the guilt! The guilt! We should all share the guilt. I think we're treating her like Vince and every other bad dude who's ignored her and figured she'd just wait... For shame! Here's to cogent comments that will bring Gloria Grahame on top where she belongs. (Thank you for the compliments on my remarks on dear Double G.)

Just wondering...is there anyone alive who has heard the voice of Rudolph Valentino??

I really wonder what that movie premiere audience thought when they saw Rita Hayworth in "Gilda" swingiing hips, tossing hair, tortured woman. The sexiest thing on the planet...I wonder what Hedy, Ava and Lana thought when they saw her in "Gilda." Jesus she could make stone melt.

I think Stanwyck is very pretty in this photograph. There were many movies where she looked hard. But there were so many more movies where she looked so sweet.

ILRM: "(P.S. has anyone ever noticed the "Grace Kelly wanna-be"...Martha Hyer? She positively annoys me!)" Always loved Martha Hyer. "Some Came Running." So cool ya wanted to see her melt. Lombard: A fun-loving raucous blonde who could do comedy and drama. A tragic tragic loss. I don't honestly think Gable ever recovered. Bergman: She simply breaks my heart. I want to protect her. It's kind of hard to watch "Notorious" "Gaslight" "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" to see her tortured. Tough to watch her pulled away from Coop in "For Whom the Bell Tolls." It's great to see her in love in movies. Her eyes, her smile, her laugh. She is wonderful! Kelly: Don't really get a visceral reaction when I see her in films as I do with Kim Novak, but there's no doubt that Kelly is one of the icons of the silver screen. The close-up Hitchcock gives her when she wakes James Stewart from his nap in "Rear Window" is seared in my mind.

Just saw the last half-an-hour of "GILDA" and as I've said in Hot Topics Rita Hayworth utterly and positively annihilates the senses. I don't understand the twisted psychology of the torture Glenn Ford's character dishes out to Rita in the film. (I've disliked him ever since). But I just know that I cannot imagine a person after WWII, in 1946 surviving seeing Rita Hayworth with her beauty and dancing and that hair. She's just...I'm speechless.

EDGECLIFF: "I can think of two that turned me down: Richard Chamberlain who said he would shake my hand, and I said no thank you since two years prior he did sign autographs..." I'll bet ya Vince Edwards wouldn't have turned you down.
