That's her!

For want of a better face:

The only thing I can come up with is The Blue Bird: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/489422/The-Blue-Bird/ It's a silent though, and wasn't on when you said it was.

>jamesjazzguitar: >But if what you said about Ford is true a Ford 'director's cut' might of ended up being an inferior product. I only know positively about My Darling Clemetine. In the boxed set of Ford at Fox there is an unedited version that was found, which is compared in detail with the released edited version. To my mind, the edited version is better. Zanuck doesn't impose a creative vision on the film, rather, by clearing away the clutter, he makes Ford look more like himself.

No. I'll give you another hint. Think of the name of the guy who went up the Congo into the heart of Africa. In a story.

Well, brought to account. I can only say in my defense, the picture of Miss Urbankova looks like she did in the movie I remember her from (Lucie and the Miracles. TCM watchers will remember her from Closely Watched Trains). The pernicious pic posted posed players that, while they did appear in one movie together (Othello) it was not the one slyly supposed. Kidd_Dabb has it right! It's Dorothea Kent. A delightful character actress.

Yes, it was a hard topography to negotiate. As for my current pic, don't everybody go swooning trying to figure out who she is.

See? I gammit.

Not fair to dig up a photo of a play. Now, if you had shown a pic from Olivier's Otello, that would be different. And now for something completely different. . . .:

The things people remember. As I was saying. . . .: I know this is a gimme. So what? I gimmit.

In fact, it think there was something that went around between Woolrich and Hitchcock over Rear Window. I have an edition of it that refers in an oblique fashion to legal matters. I don't know the details. You might find people who think Hitchcock improved the story. As for directors having someone looking over thier shoulder, a good example is the relationship John Ford and Daryl Zanuck had. It's examined in the collection Ford at Fox. Zanuck often edited Ford's films. There are examples of the edited and unedited My Darling Clementine. As far as I'm concerned, Zanuck's editing definitely made it better. He had a good sense of how to prune away extraneous material, and tighten up the pace. Ford had a tendency to let himself get carried away with what he was doing, and indulge, if not wallow, in sentimentality. Of course, Ford wasn't the only director subject to similar weaknesses, or rather effects of ego. It's not surprising. After all, you need a big ego to become a high-profile director. Hard to practice self-restraint when everyone's praising your least action. There are not a few whose work could have benefited from a Zanuck analogue.

Hey! That wasn't a movie!

And the riders come around one by one, they reach for the ring as they pass, leaning, grasping, but they miss, and miss, but whoa!, darkblue makes an astonishing lunge, and he's got it!

Lessee, looks like Laurence Olivier as Richard III, so the lady would be. . . .Claire Bloom?

Yes!! That's them!

Now I have a cold, and a pox. But I never forgot Poldark, but not because of Mr. Ellis.

What she say?:

Thankoothankoothankoo. (Visualize bowing.)

On a film's TCM Database page, under it's title, a reminder option follows each air date that is scheduled. If there is a film you are interested in, you will have to check the Database once a month to find out if it is scheduled (normally as long as three months in the future). You can then set a reminder.

Anytime someone cheers me, I will take it, even if it's for nothing. Here's something, or someone:

I think a clue is called for.

>Dabb: >here's one that doesn't need a shave Ah! that's a clue! Now if I could just figure out how to use it.

Fred got my pic. It was Geraldine James. We remember her not only from Gandhi, but also for The Jewel in the Crown.

That's the one!

More hint: A movie and a TV series she figured prominently in were based in India.
