This is the film I was planning on posting until I read this; Yea, I would say Crawford was in more tussles than Davis. Not necessarily the physical kind but psychological.

I'm a fan of Glenn Ford and believe he is a fine actor but just that Human Desire isn't one of his best efforts. Maybe it is because the character is kind of clumsy as well; i.e. has no sense of direction after coming back from the war, doesn't know what type of girl, if any, he is interested in, is misguided and kind of all over the map. If Ford and Lang wanted Ford to act as he did to convey this than Ford did the job. It just makes it rather difficult for me to rally around such a character.

Yes, but are the trains authentic? I ask since based on your knowledge of trains in NY in another noir, Crack-Up, the question is right up your alley; Noir alley that is!

Yes, I noticed his name on the poster and was surprised to see him in such a film.

I made the correction: Where in the sam did I get the big "team"???? Oh, well to ensure this reply isn't a total waste I offer this:

This is a Columbia film and Glenn Ford was their #1 star under contract at the time. I.e. Lang, an independent, was asked if he wished to direct a Glenn Ford film. I do agree that Ford is not at his best in Human Desire (clumsy acting is a good description). Lang and Ford would reteam on The Big Heat and that collaboration was a lot more effective. (still Human Desire does have it moments, especially when Crawford and Grahame are on the screen).

Funny that the poster has Grahame with the tag line: She's gorgeous, She's dangerous. I guess they knew that all the way back in 1944!

No question about the talent, beauty and film legacy of Maureen O'Hara. Some of my favorite films (than the ones already mentioned) are: The Black Swan The Fallen Sparrow Sinbad the Sailor A Women's Secret Our Man in Havana

Does Disney actually have a policy, and if they do, have they released this to the public? I.e. what is the policy? I ask because I assumed what we are seeing so-far (since the acquisition) is the result of Disney not having established a policy.

A 1944 comedy with Grahame and Mary Astor; Never seen this film. These two were not known for comedy, per se. (Astor was very funny in The Palm Beach Story done two years before).

This site has been crashing and throwing me out often today. Maybe that has something do to with any "slow down"?

Here is Bette Davis' home in Laguna Beach. Just went there on Sunday to cool down since my friend has an apartment near the home.

I watched Lightning Strikes Twice (1951), last night on MOVIES-TV Sunday night noir. More of a drama than a noir, this Ruth Roman \ Richard Todd film also cast the crazy good at being crazy Mercedes McCambridge. SPOILER ALERT: The film has Darryl Hickman as Mercedes younger brother. This guy appears to have issue with his relatives. If it isn't a sister-in-law in Leave Her to Heaven its his own sister in Lightning Strikes Twice!

I no longer suffer from arachnophobia. Thank you.

Not as a Stranger (1955).

Dave Gilmour is a fine musician, as well as composer and I find him highly interesting, but I favor Howe just slightly more (but more so for what he has done in the last 20 years which isn't Prog rock, per se).

Steve Howe is the prog-rock guitars, I find the most interesting.

This lady doesn't feel you should feel even a little sorry for Moose.

Here is one of my favorite guitar players, Bireli Lagrene, at 13. I was 28 when I heard this, sitting around with my guitar playing buddies. We all looked at each other and said: We should stick to playing rock, since we will never get close to what this kid is already doing!

I'm saying that in the 44 version the character of Moose, as written and directed, was fairly one-dimensional. In the 70s version, as well as the novel, the Moose character has more dimensions. I'm not saying Mazurki was a one-dimensional actor.

I can agree to this to a degree, but sometimes an archetype ends up being a one-dimensional character and that is something I can't relate to.

Google Hays Code and you can see the pages upon pages of the restrictions. Many are racist or sexist, and some are just insane.
