  1. Clint Eastwood next : who would play well the life of the party
  2. Coming up Thursday 30th September 5am PDT I See a Dark Stranger ('46) Deborah Kerr ❤️ is lovely to look at as she appears as a sweet young thing. It won't be long before she turns into a sophisticated, mature, and elegant woman. Not in this one, but later on as we know. If you haven't seen this yet, you must. You simply must. 🌷
  3. "...contend-ah..." sorry (hey, no I'm not) couldn't resist

  10. I watched The Devil's Disciple this morning over morning coffee. And where, may I ask, has been Janette Scott all my live long life. I mean, Heaven help me, what a sweet bundle of a woman is she! She spent a large amount of time fretting and actually boohoo-ing but when she did those things she was so--o-o-o-o cute!!!! She cried the way they cry in comedies (after all, I do take this movie for a comedy), Boy, if I were in that movie I would steal a kiss if I had the chance. 'Course she wouldn't have wanted to kiss the likes o' me, so in that case I might have to settle with one sweet look of approbation if I were lucky enough to get one. The rest of the movie was okay too. Since I am falling all over myself for Miss Scott and my, uh, persuasion firmly established, I now feel free enough and frank enough to speak about an opposite sort of admiration and that prompts me to ask a question to the ladies present. Is it possible to even glance a quick glance at the magnificent Burt Lancaster and not be entirely and irrevocably smitten. If I were a woman and came with a glance of that man I would probably faint. And dare I admit that as a man myself, I might also faint. Magnificent you are Burt, damn you! Wow, what a magnificent pair these two make, Janette Scott and Burt Lancaster. And there they go riding off on a horse in the last scene, the all time classic of all classic endings, presumably to live happily ever after. Yeah, I know ; but I hope they can as they are one of the most charmed couple ever to end a movie. Program Note : speaking of sweet bundle of woman, don't miss I See a Dark Stranger ('46) this Thursday at 5am PDT - 8am EDT, to see the incomparable Deborah Kerr. She is at her absolutest sweetest! She is a young thing that finds herself over her head a bit in a political intrigue and is constantly furrowing her eyebrows wondering what to do. The camera and therefore we the audience profit by a number of wonderfully photographed close-ups of this marvelous and endearing face. As we all know, Deborah grew up fast in the movies. The moment she appeared as full-fledged grown-up woman, she seemed to attain at the same time and with no middle flight an accomplished woman of maturity and elegance. She is quite magnificent this way too, but be sure to catch the above movie and see her before she grows up.
