Ethel Barrymoore in "Spiral Staircase" with: RHONDA FLEMING

Cinemaven: I definitely understand the empathy angle. As I posted previously, it is as though we are walking behind J. Stewart. Hitchcock takes ordinary men, women, or both and puts them in extraodinary circumstances. Psycho - office worker stealing money Birds - smug woman delivering lovebirds Shadow of a Doubt - dangerous "uncle" disrupting typical family dynamic Man Who Knew Too Much - doctor and family on vacation Etc.etc..... We can walk in their shoes for a while UNTIL....something unexpected happens and then it becomes more unrealistic for us and we feel satisfied that "this would never happen to us." Is this when we become "voyeuristic".

(I got lost with Carmen Miranda. Sorry, folks!) Moving on: Jean Harlow in "Riff Raff" with: UNA MERKEL

mr6666...WOW! Only one clue and you got it!! Is this a favorite of yours? Visiualfeast....I guess you don't need another clue! I was out of town this weekend and knew I needed to provide another clue asap. OBVIOUSLY NOT

I remember so well, first because I really liked it, but, also, because I was concerned with the pairing of C.Boyer and J.Arthur. They were great together! Okay. Here goes: Clue #1 - Wife and retired huband are becoming estranged.

Mongo....I love, love the photo of Elsa Lanchester. The red hair and the beautiful eyes. I have only seen a couple of movies of hers when she was a young woman. One in particular, "Rembrandt", in which I thought she was very pretty. Again, great pix!!

PB....I like the Open All Night promo too. It has a "classic" feel to it. I like the new "Word of Mouth" promo EXCEPT for the "damn good actress". I am not a prude and it worked before, but if a promo is being changed, change the whole thing. Speaking of the new and getting rid of the old, Rose McGowan, please go home!! (Sorry, Rose fans)

Thanks, Blue Moon... I certainly agree with your reply regarding the actors I posted. (I realized I spelled Harry Carey w/o the "e". Maybe that's because my maiden name is Cary w/o the "e" and....I had a cousin named Harry Cary.
