  2. >Then you better leave the room first, Monsieur le Pirate, or she's calling 9-1-1! "Okay, Miss Monroe, I'll leave. But have I told you yet how nice you look in a towel." Well, at least I took her mind off whatever she was worried about.
  3. LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN Till we meet again, children
  4. *Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony.* *Brahms' 1st Piano Concerto.* *Mendelssohn's Octet.* *Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata. (I have more Beethoven than anything. Many complete sets.)* *Sibelius' 2nd Symphony.* *Dvorak's 7th.* *Elgar's Cello Concerto.* *Copland's "Appalachian Spring."* Hi *Movieman*, I was just scanning some recent posts on this thread and enjoying your conversation with *Pktrekgirl* that you two had in July. I was MIA from the boards during that period so I didn't see it. I like the list you posted. I'm familiar with just about all on your list, though a few with maybe only a movement or two. For instance, I am more familiar with the first movement of the Hammerklavier and less so with the other movements, and with the famous scherzo from Mendelssohn's Octet more than the other movements. My attraction to the Elgar is fairly recent, absolutely beautiful first movement. I have always enjoyed trying to identify classical music sequences that pop up in movies. I watched Anna Karenina recently, the 1948 version with Vivien Leigh. During one of the opera box scenes the music started playing. It was Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmila. Nowadays IMDB can be consulted and they will identify a lot of music. It takes the fun out of it, but only a little. It's doubly fun to identify a piece of music and then find out that it is not on imdb. I don't have that large of a collection. I borrow CDS and put them on the iPod. I listen to the Classical Music Channel on cable, I have that going a lot. At the moment, Schumann's Piano Concerto with Van Cliburn is playing. It's nice to know there are some of us around here who not only like classical music but are somewhat passionate about it. laffite
  5. I want to bump this up to the top before I give the answer, it's been up for over 36 hours. When I posted this picture, I was under the impression that this was the character thread, where you simply post a picture of an actor to idenify. So maybe this pic is not fair. I'll give it till Wed evening and identify if not solved by then. Sorry for the mistake. *FredCDobbs*, are you here, you saw this movie on TCM about six months ago and we exchanged a few words about it. General hint: the movie is based on a famous (literary) novel. This woman is on screen only briefly but she is important to the story. Anyone?
  6. CHAINED his arms behind his back so that he couldn?t move them at all. Was she going to push him and watch him fall helplessly below? Or perhaps do the deed with a knife?...God only knew?With unspeakable horror he watched as she put her hand in her pocket. She withdrew her hand slowly and took out---a photo album---yes, she wanted to show Alan the pictures she took last summer while visiting her mother in New Haven. Hardly able to breath, he looked at the first photo and said, "...

  9. 81 "Now let tell how I want you to wash those windows up there---oh, wait a minute, let me squish this cockroach..."
  10. > Trust me, you're better off NOT knowing! That's what everyone keeps telling me. You're making me laugh with these pictures of Marilyn all pensive and quizzical. Something humorous there but maybe a little dangerous as well. That expression in the bathtub scares me. I want to say, forget it Marilyn, whatever you're thinking, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy your bath. ps...On second thought, Miss Monroe, why don't you just jump right out of that tub and tell ole laffite all about it...no?...Oh, okay Edited by: laffite on Oct 13, 2009 10:50 PM for the PS because laffite is trying to be funny.
  11. I'm a big fan of hope. I'm always praying for it.

  13. >Bonjoooooooooooooooooour Monsieur le Pirate! >Who can tell what's on a blonde's mind? Bonjooooooooooooour Madamoiselle La Deesse! I never could. Nor a Brunette. Nor a Redhead.
  14. >One of my favorites... Hi MissGoddess, that's one of my favorites too. I wonder what's on her mind.
  15. Marvelous gallery of Hope. The early pictures are particularly fascinating!
  16. HELLO DOLLY HELLO VIETNAM or THE GOODBYE GIRL
  17. A WICKED WOMAN on his trail is the last thing he needed just now, preparing for Iowa and all, and so he donned his Yves Saint Lauren 6-6926c designer sun glasses while glancing about furtively like they do in the movies, hoping against hope that the wayward blonde with the kimono would be?
  18. >The best Ed Sullivan Show was when The Beatles first appeared on it wearing suits. He use to coin the line , tonight we have a very big shooww. No, no...it was *sheeeeww* and, a propos: "I'm the bad guy for saying it's a stupid country, yet polls show that a majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government, or explain what the Bill of Rights is. 24% could not name the country America fought in the Revolutionary War. More than two-thirds of Americans don't know what's in Roe v. Wade. Two-thirds don't know what the Food and Drug Administration does. Some of this stuff you should be able to pick up simply by being alive. You know, like the way the Slumdog kid knew about cricket."

  19. A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE by comparison, where Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall were sparring verbally with hushed innuendo in the dining car, an edgy air about their persons, and in direct contrast with Alan who was preparing for Iowa by learning how to pass out from boredom while remaining upright. Two plainclothesmen were rushing through his car and one of them caught Alan just as he was about to fall down, saying that they were looking...
  20. SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER A SUMMER PLACE or THE LONG HOT SUMMER
