I thought the dialogue in Trouble in Paradise (1932) was crazy!! How characters would start a sentence, but then the sentence would never be finished because another character would start to say something that was not related to the 1st piece of dialogue. I really did enjoy Trouble in Paradise ...I just didn't like the end. I wish Kay had not gotten duped. I also liked how there's that dubious morality that Lubitch knew how to use so well: everyone is fooling everyone else, but nobody minds! Great fun! I'm falling for Kay! :LO) She is a blast to watch! Also, love when Madame Mariette Colet & Gaston Monescu kept popping open the closed door to have a conversation W./the butler, & the shadow of the couple on the bed! Pre-Code...damn Hollywood for the code! Dialogue Like: Gaston Monescu: Do you remember the man who walked into the Bank of Constantinople, and walked out with the Bank of Constantinople? Gaston Monescu: It could have been marvelous. Mariette Colet: Divine. Gaston Monescu: Wonderful... . But tomorrow morning, if you should wake out of your dreams and hear a knock, and the door opens, and there, instead of a maid with a breakfast tray, stands a policeman with a warrant, then you'll be glad you are alone. Just a crazy fun movie. It would have interesting see what direction Kay's films would have gone into if there was never a "Code"!

*_Under Capricorn_ I have heard the good, the bad & the ugly I think this is why I haven't watched it yet in all these years. Also another factor I'm "NOT" a fan of Ingrid Bergman. & the thought of Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten together doesn't sound like a good combo!* _Per Wikipedia:_ *The film was Hitchcock's second film in Technicolor and uses ten-minute takes similar to those in Hitchcock's film _Rope_ (1948). It is believed that the audience thought _Under Capricorn_ was going to be a thriller, which it was not -- it was a domestic love triangle with a few thriller elements thrown in -- which apparently led to its box office failure. However, the public reception of the film may not have been helped by the revelation in 1949 of Bergman's illicit relationship with, and subsequent pregnancy by, Italian film director Roberto Rossellini.* *In Peter Bogdanovich/Alfred Hitchcock Interview, it is mentioned that French Critics considers _Under Capricorn_ as one of Hitchcock's finest films.*

Ernst Lubitsch was intended to direct _Dragonwyck_ (1946). When he suffered from illness, Joseph L. Mankiewicz took over. Also Gregory Peck was the first choice for Nicholas Van Ryn when Ernst Lubitsch was to direct, but becuase of his illness & pre-production was delayed Peck dropped out.

*"_Burn After Reading_" is the third Coen brothers film for George Clooney ("_O Brother, Where Art Thou?_" and "_Intolerable Cruelty_"). Usually playing a fool in their movies, the Coens jokingly call the three films Clooney's Trilogy of Idiots.* I LOVED "Burn After Reading"..!! A+! A film I will see again this weekend! The Coen brothers have done it again!

_Per Wikipedia:_ *Prelinger Archives* *The Prelinger Archives is a collection of films, mostly shorts made for industrial or educational distribution.* *The Archives was founded by Rick Prelinger in 1982 in order to preserve what he calls "ephemeral" films: corporate advertising and promotional films (1914-1980), educational films or U.S. government productions, television commercials, theatrical trailers and ads, newsreels, amateur and home movies, and other items of cultural significance which are in the public domain because they were never registered for copyright or their copyrights have expired.* _The stated goal of the Prelinger Archives is to "collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven't been collected elsewhere."_ By 2001 it had acquired 60,000 completed films of varying lengths and over 30,000 cans of unedited film. In 2002, the Library of Congress acquired the contents of the Archives as of that date. As of spring 2005, the Archives holds about 4,000 films on video and over 30,000 cans of film acquired since the Library of Congress transaction. Approximately 2,000 public domain films are available for download and unrestricted reuse on the Internet at the Internet Archive. All the films in the archives are available for license for production use through Getty Images.
