[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

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.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

See? I gammit.

 

 

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

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. . . .:

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

The things people remember.

 

As I was saying. . . .:

 

 

I know this is a gimme. So what? I gimmit.

[31 Days Oversights-I Say Vertigo]

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.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

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!

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

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

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Yes!! That's them!

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

Now I have a cold, and a pox.

 

But I never forgot Poldark, but not because of Mr. Ellis.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

What she say?:

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

Thankoothankoothankoo.

 

(Visualize bowing.)

[History Is Made at Night]

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.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

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

 

Here's something, or someone:

 

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

I think a clue is called for.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

>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.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

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

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

That's the one!

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

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

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

A hint? So soon? Can't you let me enjoy it for a while? Well, most of her work is in TV, but she's no stranger to movies, especially one movie we've seen a lot on TCM.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

Or her.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

Not her.

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?]

Robin Ellis it is!

 

Moving right along:

 

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

Looks like Katharine Hepburn.

[Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?]

That's her!
