That seems to be a small price to pay if it meant not seeing your ex-mother in law again, either! Sepiatone

Me too. Glad to see someone sharing the love, not spitting the hate for an amazing talent and all around good person. Sepiatone

I would add to those fine choices *The Pied Piper* and *The Fighting Sullivans* . Sepiatone

I really don't get the knock on Kaye. Especially after the rebroadcast of that Dick Cavett show where he talks about his involvement with UNICEF. That he would channel his energy and celebrity to this, and many other humanitarian causes leaves no intelligent room for derugation of him. I also enjoyed seeing the showing of one of his TV variety shows. Though the one shown was far from his best, it did remind me of how much I enjoyed it as a 12 year old watching it, and of how glad I was when Carol Burnette started HER show and I saw that Harvey Korman returned to television.

If he's willing to wait a year or two, he could find it at a THRIFT STORE. I recieved that e-mail, too. But I didn't try to enter, so I don't know if I would have had any trouble. Sepiatone

ACCKKK! Sepiatone

She was in a handfull of pictures before this in similar small roles. I think this was made just before her huge impact in *Niagra* . I also think this movie came towards the end of when these types of comedies were in vogue. If so, it was a great way to end an era. Sepiatone

I'm not sure if it's TLC or DISCOVERY that shows these programs. Check them out. You might, however, find yourself wondering just WHAT these folks find to be proud about. Sepiatone

Naw, I don't think TCM has shown this movie to excess. It's just I couldn't resist bringing up the old Chuck Berry song title. I first saw this way back when I was about nine years old or so. Watching it last night brought several things to mind. 1. Cary Grant really DID have a penchant for "natural" looking comedy. In that he made it look so easy and sellable. No, it didn't take THIS movie to prove it to me, but it did help remind me of it. 2. Ginger Rogers was more than Grant's match in this or any OTHER aspect. And damned attractive no matter the age! 3. At 26, Marylin Monroe was at her "hottest", and made the "dumb blonde" a position of honor. "Miss Laurel, go to every Ford agency and bring back Dr. Fulton!" "Gosh, Mr. Oxley. Which do you want me to do FIRST?" 3. Was that sports car Cary bought a MORGAN? I WANT it! 4. That baby Rogers mistakenly thought was her husband is MY AGE now! 5. I always feel better when I see KATHLEEN FREEMAN in a movie. Sepiatone

That your Dad took a 10 year old to see a movie called "The Psycopath" is what struck me. Never saw it. What's it all about, Alfie? Sepiatone

LOL....hybrid of Divine and Audrey Meadows. EEwww! Wasn't Divine a sort of hybrid to begin with? Sepiatone

There WAS an incident here in Michigan some years back(I believe it was the latter-half 1990's) where some guy got in trouble after his canoe capsized and he yelled the "F" word. Some lady got upset 'cause her "precious" overhead it and she called the local constabulitory. THEY cited an obscure, 19th century law, still on the books, that made it a jailable offense to use such language in public. I think he was given a hefty fine and had to do community service. He paid the fine, did the service, but was obdurate in his refusal to apologize. Sepiatone

My jury is still out on those spanish speaking versions. There are so many other great L&H features they could have shown instead, yet in some way, they WERE interesting. Sepiatone

My step father was Hungarian and HATED Gypsies. He never elaborated why. Many of the "Gypsy" persuasion in this country seem to want to get by without adhering to the same laws and social "rules" the rest of us are required to, from what I've personally seen. But I don't think that's actually inherent in the entire Gypsy culture. What I CAN say is that those "reality" shows, like "My Big, Fat Gypsy Wedding" don't really do much to promote a good side to being Gypsy. Well, that and the fist fights and parking lot barbeque a Gypsy family incited at the funeral home when my nephew's Mother-in-law was in state. Women dressing like hookers at a funeral home might strike some as low class. Also letting the kiddies treat the funeral home as their personal playground doesn't sit well with other people, either.

Lost a job? For using the "F" word? What were you, a kindergarten teacher? Incidentally, remember, George Carlin had the same thing happen... "I was fired from the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas for saying the word 'SH**'. In a town where the BIG GAME is called CRAPS! You could hear Texans from the casino yell, 'Aw, SH**! I CRAPPED!' They fly THOSE guys in FREE. FIRED me! SH**!" Sepiatone

I do enjoy the dialogue in that Sim movie. Some things so simply put, others more entertaining... "You're just the kind of buck they're looking for these days". "...Nip along smartly...". "I'm not in the habit of conducting my business in the teeth of inclement weather." "Sit down and have a nice warm by the fire". "WOO! CUR!" Sepiatone

STORK!(snort!)...DAMN YOU, Tiki! Made my coffee go down the wrong PIPE! Yeah I too remember being refused service at a local Sander's counter because my hair was long. Why, at the time, it must have been down to my COLLAR! Not exactly a total BLACK experience, but it gave me a taste( or WHIFF) of what it must have been like. Hey, GYPSY, eh? Did you get married in one of those God-awful 100 pound GOWNS? Sepiatone

No, what I meant was that MY reply WAS to a post by RM. I even clicked on the "dialogue bubble" on his post. But when I clicked "post message", Duck's name wound up on the "reply to" part. Sepiatone.

I must stand on my head! I must stand on my head! Sepiatone

I know I'LL be glued to my chair! Sepiatone

That list COULD get long, too. My favorite might be *The Ladykillers* . That one just cracks me up. Couldn't help but fall in love with that little old lady! Sepiatone

And the above reply was originally a response to RM. I don't know HOW Duck's name got there... Sepiatone

Highjacking threads is par for the course in ANY online forum. It really doesn't bother me too much if the highjacking goes in interesting directions, as it did in this thread. Recently, I started a thread poking mild fun at Addison's thread which featured an impressionist doing Bette Davis' voice singing "FELIZ NAVIDAD" over film clips of many Davis movies. In MY thread, I claimed to have difficulty watching a broadcast of *The Little Foxes* because I kept waiting for Davis to break into "FELIZ NAVIDAD", and the thread immediatley turned into a Bette Davis appreciation society thread. NOT my intention at all. Come to think of it, the thread had NO intention whatsoever short of levity. But so it goes. While it's good to have a message board where our interest in old movies could be stated and shared with others of similar interest, it's also good that within this forum, we can express our thoughts on other matters that might be of no interest or go largely ignored by those we know in our private lives. It's good to know somebody shares your views, or even disagrees but does so with a sense of calm decorum, and in some cases show us a reason for changing our minds. At least in here, we're restricted by the site's rules of etiquette, and can share or express our differing views WITHOUT it turning into a vitriolic free-for-all as it might in a typical face-to-face discussion, or from MY experience, in Facebook. As far as discussing racism in these forums, I see nothing wrong in tackling the subject academically. However, there's nothing remotely academic about racism. You can pass laws against it, instill rules against it and even forbid any racist viewpoints being written and spoken in public. It's not going to end it. The best you can hope for is to force the racist to come up with an intelligent sounding arguement for it's existence. And I don't really see that ever happening. Sepiatone

It bothers me to use referrences such as "B" word, "A" word, "F" word. It's as if we're addressing a bunch of little kids. I'm assuming this forum is attended by ADULTS. And when the subject matter is LANGUAGE, in particular PROFANE language, the auto-censor should be disabled so we can proceed like grown-ups. Sepiatone

DANG, Tiki! When I was in high school( '66-'69), we weren't allowed to wear shorts AT ALL, except maybe in GYM CLASS! But this reminds me of a bit some comedian did a few years ago on the now gone "BONNIE HUNT SHOW": "My next door neighbor was complaining to me that his teen-age daughter dresses way too sexy. You know; doesn't wear a bra but should, her shirts don't cover her mid section, and pants so low you can see the top of the crack of her butt. I thought about this for a minute and realized, y'know? My DAD dresses way too sexy!" Sepiatone
