Well I'm glad extra threads are not being created, when it's just as easy to comment on this thread. I enjoyed "J'Accuse." Very long, but very powerful and the message is still apropos. War sucks!! (When the dead started getting up...I freaked) J'ACCUSE!

Joey: "I was referring to the old fashion visual style of the fx work- not the state of the art quality- I love this movie I think its a rich stylish version of the novel." Yep, I agree...there was an old-timey quality in the scene where Dracula attacks VanHelsing's party that's protecting Sadie Frost. "I have traveled...oceans...of time to..."

Francois:"It's better than my Latin." Oh crap! THAT was Latin??

Francois: "Je ne peux pas imaginer vous mentir. Vous ?tes si doux et honn?te... et insistant."* And by the way...ou est la biblioteque? *"I can't imagine you lie. You are so sweet & honest & insistent." How close is my high school French? Message was edited by: CineMaven

Noooooooooooooooooooo. Not unless they get Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder. Oh, they already did "Blazing Saddles." Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Just goes to show ya, Hollywood has NO imagination.I can't support it. Arrrrgh...my eyes! My eyes!

If you can't keep Rita busy (why is she even eating in bed) then let someone else have a shot! Go to your corner.

And while they're killing Germans, the wife should grab her kid and high-tail it to America. The 20's in America had bathtub gin and the Charleston. She'd have met Joan Crawford (who would've adopted her kid) and lived in Hollywood. I laughed when the husband said to his soldier-mate "Gon and kiss." Of course the husband has to kill himself (or get killed). He'll never trust his wife. (She had to show the birth certicate with 'father unknown.' Poor girl). J'ACCUSE!

That's cheating SCSU.

YIKES!!!! Even in a log cabin, with Mohawk Indians yapping at her heels, she's still gotta give the camera the left side of her face.

War. It never comes out looking good, does it. Uh-oh...the jig is up. The husband's back. He kind of looks like a beefy stockier Henry Daniell, doesn't he? Ooooh, this is not looking good for anybody. J'ACCUSE!

Nah, Rose McGowan needs the stubble. He needs a mohawk. Yo Pockets...at least spell Mankiewicz's name right.

Yep, where'd you find it? I though Annie Liebowitz and Ansel Adams burned all their early negatives. Aargh!!

Very accomplished, IMHO. Still getting through it. Whew! That poor girl's being put through the ringer. And, a glimpse of _______ was looked on as something shocking.

I heard that Lupe scratched up Coop's back but good. Oh wait...was the Weissmuller??

And again I ask you...is there anything you DON'T know, Fred?? C'mon, you've been on the quiz shows haven't you?

"C'MON BIG BOY PUT EM AROUND ME!" Somehow I think I'd rather be trapped by Shearer than West. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" OR "There's a word for you ladies. But it isn't used outside a kennel."

AARrghhh!!! You get me everytime! ;-) Now go way and sit on another bench before I hit you with my purse. POW!!

Welcome Aboard Robboy: "The most beautiful woman in the history of motion pictures was Rita Hayworth!" Now the gloves come off. Annagram in another thread said that the most beautiful woman in movies was Elizabeth Taylor. I hold out for (the only and obvious choice:) Hedy Lamarr. Others think the sun rises and falls with Greer Garson. We have a contest going on where we're picking our three favorite most beautiful actresses. That's a very dangerous and flammable first sentence you got there. You just got here. You want to start a war?!!!!!!!! But no doubt...you're right. What a spectacular opening that was when asked "Gilda, are you decent?" Whew! What a sight. And if I'm not mistaken, Fred was too chivalrous to given an answer, but I'm sure Astaire thought Hayworth danced head & shoulders above his other incomparable partners. That red hair cascading and spinning around her shoulders is enough to...to...hey, where am I? Yes...there was a heartbreaking sadness to her in her later years. Thanxxx to her (and her daughter) the illness of Alzheimer's was brought to the forefront. Rita Hayworth. Saying her name makes me smile. (Psst! When you read this post, read it with tongue firmly in cheek for part of it). Welcome!

Konway: "And the use of Parallels in the plot. For Example, Mrs. Paradine lowers herself for Andre Latour (Louis Jourdan). And Keane (Peck) lowers himself for Mrs. Paradine." How low...can you go...?

You said it Moira. Ya see, actors today don't know know what they're missing.

I don't think any fickled finger of fate could sock it to me hard enough to watch this movie again. Here comes de judge!

Moira, can you imagine one of today's seventeen or nineteen year old actresses playing either of those two roles in "Casablanca"?? I shudder at the thought.

Fantastic job Lafitte!! Thank you. I see a coffee table book in that thar topic. Good job.

Great subject title, Fred.
