INDEED, indeed! The look on the sponsors' faces is incredulous awe. Lonsome pulls out
all the stops, even chasing the secretary, as if Vitajex is the answer to a old man's dream.
Again, A. Franciosa practically salivating at the prospect of this "human gold mine".
The commercial had everything, taking the pill, graphics, sexy girls. Nothing subliminal
about that.

Beal is a intelligent and articulate broadcaster who has reached his breaking point.
Is he a "puppet" or "crazy like a fox". If he is aware he is being manipulated, he
does not care. As if to say "Go ahead use me!" The powers that be ARE using him
for ratings and he is not too far gone to realize that. He doesn't care what happens
to him or anyone or anything. We the viewer cheer him because we are manipulated
into thinking his cause is just and he is saying certain things we wish we could say.
We are angry with the "powers". How dare they profit from this man and yet
we are cheering him on from the "stands". Prescient? Absolutely.
Rhodes is a ignorant hillbilly with a loud mouth who could have put up a tent in the
middle of a field and become an evangelist. Some of society does not care how
salvation is presented as long as they are promised healing and a road to heaven.
Rhodes uses television to gather a crowd of non-believers or discouraged people
and reels them in. (Jimmy Baker sound familiar) He is bombastic and crude and
turns that into cracker barrel country charm. Intelligent P. Neal falls in lust with
her total opposite and is thrilled with her "monster". A. Franciosa is palpable
in his faux pimp role. And....Lee Remick, young and impressionable, falls for
the fame and power. Poor Lonesome, one day you are on top of the world, the
next you are....well very lonesome. Old story.
I believe societal with a little psychology thrown it in both films

Eloquently stated, Izcutter. I say "Amen" to your words!! YES.....WE......CAN!
Once more, we have hopeful expectations. We have the beginning of relief from
fear.
Watching the "I have a dream" speech was the icing on the cake. I had been
weepy all evening and then seeing the devoted M.L.King, Jr. speak those immortal
words once again, I cried tears of joy. Joy, because I AM a older
citizen, andI have been around for many atonishing moments in time and this one gives me
hope for the future of my Grandson and all young people everywhere. My heart
is full.

Arkadin: "camera - equal partner, yin to yang, Jekyll to Hyde". SO TRUE! In fact, in
one scene, Helen asks him about taking his camera, which is on his shoulder. She
meant it wouldn't be appropriate, and....he didn't even realize he had it with him.

ChiO and all: I finally watched this movie and I don't know where to begin. The first
thing that struck me was the multiple voyeurism going on in the beginning of the film.
Mark's father watching Mark, Mark watching the couple on the bench, adult Mark
watching himself, and the audience watching all.
The film is full of symbolism. Helen's mother's intuition about Mark even though she is
blind. The scene in the store in which the old man is buying dirty pictures and along
comes a fresh-faced young girl buying candy, creating a contrast. Mark's father's books
stood out like a sore thumb on the bookshelves full of possible leather-bound or first
editions. His father's books were covered in paper and pastel dust jackets.
Is there a reason all of the main female characters are redheads?
I also kept thinking "snuff films", only with just two participants. The photographer and
his subject.
One other little piece of voyeurism was Helen's as she is backing out of the room while
watching Mark's film,for a slight moment,she is fascinated.
All in all, I think this is very good example of voyeurism with a sadistic twist. Bg

Obviously, I didn't watch this as I said I would. Sorry. Here it is the weekend again. I
want to watch it because I am intrigued by all your comments. I'll be back to "class"
with my self-imposed assignment to watch this asap. I hope to add a comment. Bg

Thanks for the info. I am a huge Bogie fan. Let's see. March is in time for Mother's/Father's
Day. My anniversary is in April. As you can see, I am looking for an excuse to buy this
book. Gift cards are great.

Hi, Fred. Hi, Cinemantic. You can't say we didn't try.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Are you looking forward to more Halloween horror on TCM?
Tacky as some of them might be, it's still fun. So...sometimes you laugh and
sometimes you shiver. Watch out for the ghouls and goblins and the eggs & t.p.
