HIGH ANXIETY
?almost engulfed him as he realized the enormous responsibility of working with a world-class movie composer and it didn?t help when Bernard leaned over and whispered to him, ?Just one thing, lose the kazoo. We like the bland staccato though, keep that.? Anxious to please, he began to hum what he considered a theme for a great movie. It sounded like?

>I imagine that Colette and our mystery brunette were somewhat similar, though I don't know for sure.
Me neither, though it's clear they both lived long and interesting lives. Colette did some dance hall/stage work early on and I believe she did a little writing for the movies. I though it possible that she might have done a couple of movies here and there and you were pulling a fast one on us though I considered it a shot in the dark. The first picture you posted shows a very slight smile. It's been said that Colette never smiled for a photo.

LAUGH AND GET RICH
,,,in a way wholly spiritual that became a foundation for rebirth. A wave of creativity engulfed him and he took his kazoo and began a composition. Since the kazoo has only one note the melody was a little impoverished but it was the will to keep going that was the essential. At that moment and on that precipice Alan became new. Then, suddenly, to his ears a voice came, and he heard the words...

THE IMMORTAL STORY
...of those who are perforce ne?er forgotten. Allen wanted to become the first kazoo virtuoso in history and by such distinction achieve greatness in a heretofore non-existent discipline but could not find a composer who would undertake a kazoo concerto. Profoundly depressed, he became the?

MUSIC FROM ANOTHER ROOM
...on a higher plane, perhaps, if it even matters. Nonsense reigns, vive le jabberwocky, in the life and the dreariness of Alan?s existence (and of us all perhaps) whatever the tune and Alan's seeming high adventures are likely only the fancy within the mind of an afflicted soul, or worse perhaps, all too real. But oh, not these tones, so goes the ode, nonsense or no life goes on and Alan, with still another resolution, vowed to learn to play the kazoo, a most noble calling for anyone seeking?

>I'm not sure why that is. I'd be curious to know if anyone else recorded The Devil to Pay and if they had a "poor signal" near the outset or not
Hi Frank, I DVR-ed Devil to Pay and have been running it on slow fast forward with no glitches. I have Cox Cable here in Chargerville (Cable service is better here than our girdiron service). So maybe TCM is off the hook, then.

This movie has one of the most marvelous openings I have ever seen and I don't think I've ever seen a more attractive woman anytime anywhere than Carole Lombard in that opening. She looks so good in those slacks and she is so cute with that fishing pole. She is breezy and so breathtakingly real. When Cary comes on the scene, the two given some good dialogue.
"How about a sandwich?" he says to her.
"I have some, thank you."
"That's what I mean, How about offering me one."
Okay, you have to see it, but it's a wonderful conversation overall. Of course, the story goes downhill from there but it took awhile at least. Also awhile for me to get used to Kay as meanie but by movie's end I was more or less convinced. This movie really does have a dark side and by the end, downright austere in some respects, all of which is a little surprising because, as you so correctly point out, by all appearances this began as a pretty airy and pleasant romantic comedy. The two wonderful people in the opening scene were never quite the same again as the weight of the story stifled the sweeter part of their natures. A pity. -

Hi, Cinemaven, I have Cox and so far no problems...but if anything happens I'll be sure to post. You are making me laugh with your, uh, commentary.
