B - If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium

Sedgwick, Edward - directed Murder in the Fleet

Walter Matthau

Elizabeth Taylor was in Little Women with June Allyson

Becket

I liked some of the numbers, but not the movie as a whole - and I didn't even think that Day-Lewis was to blame for the film not being a bit more engaging. Given the cast and the budget, it should have been better. The only good thing is that it really made me want to revisit some of Fellini's films, especially 8 1/2

Jane Wyman was in Magnificent Obsession with Agnes Moorehead

Ace in the Hole

That's a pretty good song. There's a French song in Gaby (1956) that I like a lot, I don't remember the name off the top of my head but will look for it. It's a pretty catchy tune, once you've heard it you probably don't forget it easily.

I think it should be fun. There's an interesting spotlight theme, and the little bit of extra time on account of the Memorial Day weekend will be very much appreciated, by all contestants, I'm sure. Best of luck to everyone!!

Vivien Leigh was in Caesar and Cleopatra with Stewart Granger

The Snake Pit

So has anyone else watched the newly-released Criterion DVD of Lumet's The Fugitive Kind ? I watched it just the other day. The transfer is certainly first-rate. I've not had a chance to look at the supplemental materials, since they're in a 2nd disc. As for the movie, it remains an interesting experiment imho, though probably not one of Lumet's best, or one of the better adaptations of a Tennessee Williams play. The parts that seemed to be most alive were the scenes with Brando and Joanne Woodward, but there are relatively few of those. Most of the movie seems to be Brando and Anna Magnani, and she's a good actress, but a bit dour probably even when the screenplay didn't call for it. I'm not sure if this is the way it was in the original play, but the interaction between Xavier and Lady Torrance seems a bit stilted. It is a bit hard for me to believe that a rather jaded character like "Snakeskin" Xavier would really care as much for her as he does in the movie. Even the age difference seems to work against it - Magnani was about 50 when she made the movie. By contrast, it seems Brando would have had a much better chance to make a good couple with Carol (Woodward's character).

Uh-oh, sounds like the ladies better watch out! So are you (is anybody) looking forward to the Iron Man sequel? I might be watching it over the weekend, if I have time. I really like almost everything with Robert Downey Jr. Plus the first one was pretty good, imho.
