Izzie. I came in late, but the class has certainly examined "D.I." and "P.A.Rs.T" thoroughly. I certainly am ready to move on. Bg

Prof. CineMaven, I am very tardy to this class but if I sit in the back of the class, may I remain. My computer just got "well", thanks to a talented computer friend. I really like this subject and I certainly have enjoyed playing "catchup". IMO, both Phyliss and Cora are users. They thought when they married these men, they made a move up. But, how long can these women fake it with these older men. They need more. More money and all that goes with it. In walks the future wrapped up in handsome packages. Phyliss is ruthless from the beginning. Cora is ambitious and also craves more prestige.(Better restaurant ambiance, better food, better clientele). Phyliss only needs Walter's knowledge of insurance and his committment to follow through. Cora needs Frank for much more. She needs moral support, his declaration of love and his emotional support. And, of course, they need their "brawn" as mundane as that seems. Walter (insurance salesman) and Frank (drifter) are very different and yet they are not particularly enthused about their futures. Again, the beautiful package shows up. I think the excitement of the "game", with its danger, is an influence. (By the way, have anyone of you noticed how many times Walter calls Phyliss "Baby"? Thanks, in advance, for letting me join in with all these knowledgeable "students".

Good point! Extreme love/hate. I put Barbra Streisand in that category as well. Love her voice and don't care about her acting. My mom used to say "As a actor he/she makes a good singer" or "As a actor he/she makes a good dancer. Of course, there certainly are exceptions. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Dan Dailey,Gene K. Fred A., Rita Hayworth, Shirley MacClaine. This is probably a whole new post.

Thanks, ILRM. As I said, it is hard to list just five. There are very few I dislike, but I did want to add Marlon Brando to my "low" list. I know Brando fans...I just can't help it.

TOP: Bogie Barbara Stanwyck Ingrid Bergman Cary Grant Paul Newman BOTTOM: Jane Russell Betty Hutton Lisabeth Scott Valli Jane Fonda This is hard. Narrowing it down to five. But, "by George", I did it!!

TripleHHH...What a coincidence! We watched "Casablanca". "Here's looking at you, kid". Bg

By George, I thought I had it! The Oscar doesn't count, in my opinion, because he did not want it. He said he was waiting for the real thing. Alexander the Great - depends on your point of view. As far as I am concern, we are dying a slow death. Pull the plug, already!!
