  1. Nice guess, but no. Not Donna Reed.

     

    Her film career began in 1943. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a 1956 film. Her film career peaked in the early 1960's so she went into television on a short-lived, popular soap based on a famous film.

  2. What the..?

     

    This is almost one of the last films I'd expect to see on TCM at this time.

    Not only is it a film that is a mere 12 years of age, it has absolutely nothing

    to recommend it's placement at such an early stage in it's miserable life. I have

    seen this film and all I can say is The New York Times review is right on the

    money. An amusing note: the Times page containing the review has a short list

    of 'similar movies' which are so far removed from this 'thing' that I find it hard

    to believe the person who compiled that list has a dictionary containing the word

    'similar'. These are: *The Haunting*, *Poltergeist*, *Rosemary's Baby*, *The Uninvited*,

    *The Sixth Sense*. With the possible exception of *The Sixth Sense*, which may be

    considered slow and boring, but in a determined and purposeful manner integral

    to the presentation, *What Lies Beneath* has no business being mentioned in the

    same breath as these.

    In all fairness, I'm not against this film being shown by TCM, afterall, many poor

    examples from all eras are available and shown from time to time so this 'thing' has

    it's place here, just not, IMO, now. There's nothing that makes this special enough to

    be brought to the fore in this manner.

  3. Not Leonard or Robert. This actor is a bit earlier and this photo shows him

    so young, I almost didn't recognize him. He actually looks like a 'dummy'

    puppet, similar to the one in a Twilight Zone episode. Freaky. He's a very

    well known supporting actor - husky build.

  4. Thank you, flash.
