PRINCESS O' ROURKE
...who was not as rich as the Princess of Monaco but who was lavishly adorned nonetheless with glistening marvels. The pickings were easy as no one in this high society apparently knew how to catch a thief and that made it simple for rear window types like our two anti-heroes, psychotic though they may be, to plunder like pirates the opulent blind. But what disillusionment for Alan when he discovered his watch missing, a K-Mart specialty for which he paid $10 and was now gone forever. His accomplice therefore he vowed to henceforth forgo and anon found himself in the company of another wacko who?

That Touch of Mink Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Yogi Berra
Name a war movie based on a novel in which an actor who has played a least two tycoons as well as a couple of tragic Shakespeare figures in other movies has the role of a General in this one.
Hint: The actor above played a famous Citizen as well as a Shakespearean Scot. Name the movie.

SWEPT AWAY
with all kinds of grandiose ideas and on occasion would stomp around the cell and declaim all kinds of utter nonsense. Alan?s hangover was excruciating, no more Berlinerveis for him, or anything else that he had never heard of. In fact, he wanted out of Germany altogether, a place with bizarre mademoiselles and pretentiously extravagant and xenophobic ideologues who would no doubt eventually succumb unnoticed to the world into the deep cauldron of the forgotten departed. He now fancied himself the hero of the picaresque novel and what and where would be his next adventure? He soon found out when...

>...but I always felt they {The Academy} gave it to him because they had passed on him so many times before. Just the way I feel......
I'm sure you're right and as you already know, I'm sure, that's been done so many times. Bette won for Dangerous in '35 when she probably should have won a year earlier for Of Human Bondage. And I thought that Elizabeth Taylor was passed over on Suddenly, Last Summer, only to win a year later with Butterfield 8. Both examples are situations where real acting was required for the earlier non-winning roles, more so than in the movies that won for them a year later, IMO. Maybe enough people felt that Paul should not win for a role that was so unusual for him, who knows.

CARRIED AWAY
by his own impetuosity precipitously forged ahead. There was a loud commotion inside, a grand party it seems, boy, thought Alan, this Mademoiselle Fifi sure knows how to live it up. He was given a choice of German beer or French wine but his only concern was the whereabouts of Mademoiselle Fifi. Pandemonium ensued (as well as a bit of hilarity) and Alan came away thinking mademoiselles are not what they used to be (although he kind of liked Rachel). Disillusioned, he vowed?

>Which Leslie movies are you looking forward to this month?
I'll keep an eye as they come. I remember seeing L-shaped Room a long time ago. So that one for sure, I remembering liking it. I think I like her more in something like that and perhaps a little less those lavish musicals she was in. I have never seen Fanny because it is based on a classic trilogy of French films of the 30s that I love so much and I worry about the grimace that comes when seeing a relatively modern treatment. You see what a coward I am? But I'm not walking the plank, forget it.

A LOVE IN GERMANY
which seemed a weird ad but it turned out be from a Frau who needed someone to drive her to a local Kapellmeister who was giving music lessons and with whom she was in love and to whom she wanted to sing ?Dein ist Mein Ganzes Herz," but couldn?t for being unable to sing which made her sad because she loved him so much?the only thing, she said to Allen, must be a perfect chauffeur and not be...
