    Overripe Melodramas on 3/31

    Any better than Deliverance?

    LoL, You got me there. but writing that, I'd never compare those 2 films. I think masterpiece might have 2 different definitions for those 2 films. I don't consider Deliverence an "Overipe Melodrama" it's a very powerful, compelling film. The  similiarity between the 2 films is they both take place in the South and the term white trash applies to some of the characters. Masterpiece may have been an overstatement for Claudelle Inglish but it is a worthwhile film to watch if for no other reason the cast. Diane McBain, she's very beautiful in the film and some Warner Bros. tv stars who were popular at the time. Arthur Kennedy and Constance Ford and Chet Akins are excellent in the film. It's a good film and if you get a chance to watch, I think it's a worthwhile watch.

    As an aside, in the Information Please thread, two films that have been asked about for titles are Something Wild, the Carroll Baker film  and Claudelle Inglish. I know because I've given those 2 titles in response more than a few times over the years.

    Much of the daytime schedule on March 31 will be devoted to four overripe, deliciously over-the-top melodramas. I'm not sure how the TCM schedule describes them. I haven't seen Go Naked in the World (love the title and will have to tape it), but I have seen Claudelle Inglish, Two Weeks in Another Town, and Youngblood Hawke.  Vincente Minnelli directed a number of fine films, and Two Weeks in Another Town is definitely not one of them. So many talented people, so much campy melodrama. Claire Trevor carries on as if she were Betty Field in Seven Women, and just when I was hoping she would have one more chance to chew the scenery, she got it, she got it! Speaking of Minnelli, The Cobweb would have made a great double feature.

    But if you're only having one over-the-top melodrama on March 31, let me urgently recommend the white trash masterpiece Claudelle Inglish. If I said "Constance Ford dressing up like her daughter to seduce Claude Akins," some of you would know this was your kind of movie. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the reminder Kingrat. I watch Claudelle Inglish whenever it's shown. LOL it is the best "white trash masterpiece"

    I’ll tell ya what I don’t like. I don’t like Judy Garland, or that other one Liza Somethingorother, they both have fat arms, Kitty has fat arms too, a bunch of fat armed dames trying to push their weight around and I’m not falling for it.

     

     

    I hope you're kidding, (and it wasn't funny even if you were)  that's one of the weirdest posts yet!

    Reposting my response to Lavender:

    I think the couple is Anne Baxter and John Hodiak, who appeared together in Homecoming and Sunday Dinner for a Soldier. Her grandfather was Frank Lloyd Wright. 

    Anne Baxter and John Hodiak are the couple and yes, Frank Lloyd Wright was her grandfather. Good work Swithin, your turn.

    Excellent Chaya, Peebs and Princess. It's a tie. You all answered 5 each.Yes, 12 is Vitalis. Not just Elizabeth for Lustre Cream Shampoo, countless other actresses too. If you're at a certain age, you'll remember these commercials and products. I had a bottle of Arpege. It's funny because with all the shampoos on the market, there has been a demand for Lustre Cream Shampoo these last few years. At any rate, thanks for playing . It's your turn to post one Chaya or Princess or Peebs, you can decide who gets to post the next one.,

    The wife had a relative who was very famous and well respected in his field., he's not alive but is still known today. Not in show business, however, some of his creations do show up in films and tv shows every so often.

    4 and 8 are correct, no to 12. I have a feeling you may be too young to know products like Brylcream and this product, they are not women's shampoos or women's hair conditioners. this was a men's product like Brylcream.

    He was a handsome actor who did star in some films and often played the 2nd to the star. He was in Westerns, Dramas, War films, Comedies, Noirs, a Muiscal. Sadly he did not live to a ripe old age. He and his Wife were in 2 films together.

    She was an Oscar and Golden Globe winning actress. She was in Westerns, Dramas, Comedies, Noirs. She was seen quite often on tv shows. Sadly she did not live to a ripe old age either.

    Couple, the 2 films they were in together and name films for each ?????? ( this one should go down quickly)
