*Miss Goddess*: If it had been there are several of us who would dub thee Sir Gary and insist you carry the name proudly!
Well, good that?s it not Gary. That?s one title I could never live up to. Not around here anyway.
*Bronxgirl*: Hi --- John? (Duke Wayne?) Clark?
Yike!!
*That's okay, I like "lafitte" very much -- it's dashing and romantic.*
Thanks. If this name is what you say it is we can thank the Swashbuckler Effect since swashies can be that way. So long, of course, the legs don?t cramp up.
I mean, they don't call me la feet, oops, I mean laffite for nothing...sorry.Barb, your birthday? I hope you have a lovely day! Happy Birthday from, uh, Laffite

*no, no silly! im still greer fan number 1! heehee! but helen has a pretty close 2nd. heehee!*
Hello there, greer #1 and Helen #2 fan
*i love that scene, the first time i saw it, i couldnt help but guffaw to it! i couldnt stop for five minutes.. it was too cute, "yes you did, i heard you!" but he didnt say anything really, and she was just tryingto get him to follow her. a genius i tell you, a genius that helen is.*
What do mean mean, Helen! You girls have been doin' that since the beginning of time. You girls have the genes for it.
*oh come now, its like you have never seen a guy do that to a girl. its not only girls doing that. i have seen it the other way around. just not as often.*
Hardly ever, you mean. Us guys have our ways but we are never as sneaky as girls.
*ooooh, how a guy hates that, to sit there and have his lovey-dovey feelings put out there with the object of his affections sitting right there and learning it for the first time, ouchy!*
*i think its rather cute to watch that happening. i love it when the guy or even the girl gets tripped up by having their feelings put out in front of the other inadvertently and then they realize each other's affections.*
But when that happens, it's usually just one of the two that's being outed, so to speak. And when it's the girl, it's really bad because she gets mad. When the guy finds out like that and then approaches her, she says, "Hey, not so fast, Buster." But our poor minister just got angry and then pouted and then got tricked into followin' her, and why? 'Cause Babbie has sneaky genes since the beginning of time to trick poor Gavin into doing whatever she wanted him to do. He never had a chance.
*I think she loved him from the get-go*
*whatever gave you that impression? heehee! could it be one of the frist scenes when she runs up and kisses him for utterly no reason? yeah that might do it.....heehee!*
Well, I thought she was just some floozy Gypsy girl who just goes around and kisses any guy she sees. I thought she was gonna be a floozy Helen.
*gavin:"this sweetheart of yours.....are you to be married to him?"*
*babbie: "yes.....unless i can find someone else i like better."*
And this one:
Gavin: "Is it possible to love someone against your will?"
Babbie: "It's even better that way."
...or something like that. Boy, she always had something to say. No superduperfraggywaggy word for her.
*We may have to call you BabbieScotch once in a while as a reminder.*
*how silly, johnny on the spot. heehee!*
johhny on the spotl. Hmmm, 'wonder where you got that.
Blue Remembered Hills and The Country Wife are on the same disc and I've just ordered it from Netflix. I like that poem you printed out, especially in advance of seeing the drama. I see sad ahead.
Here's a photo of Helen on Netflix. A nice big smile for you.
Hi Theresa!

*coopsgirl*: We?ll try to keep the giggling and squealing to a minimum and we?ll probably just have to do what we did during High Noon - keep our hands over our mouths.
*butterscotch*: i seriously cant wait to see it tonight! im so excited!
*Miss Goddess:* : I can't wait to hear all about it afterward! I think the rest of the
audience will be just as entertained by your reactions throughout as they will by the movie, ha!
Miss Goddess, "the rest of the audience will be just as entertained," or they will will be going, "shush, shush, shhhhhhhh," at our two little coop girls here. Boy, how fun to be a fly on the wall in that theater and see them trying to control themselves. More fun than watching the movie, I daresay. I hope the usher doesn't come down with his flashlight saying, "Okay, girls, can we hold it down to a roar!"
And yes, I think we're in for some delightful reading when we get to hear how it all went.

*Speaking of which, how are you, cramp-wise? Hope everything's quiet in that department. I'm okay right now but, you never know.*
Hi Barb
Much better, in fact, not a single incidence since talking about it here last week. It's not something that talking about would make better and I haven't done anything different especially. I have had a lot of juice, but apple and orange, don't know if that is significant. Furthermore, my legs feel stronger in the morning and I am _less reluctant_ to move them around upon waking. So things are encouraging from here. I hope the same for you. Thanks for asking.
Laffite
ps Just for the record (to you Barb and others), I don't use my real first name online, the reason being that I just don't seem to care for it especially anymore. So I just use Laffite. I mention this only because, you Barb (and others) have, on occasion, used real first names when posting to me (which I appreciate!) and I don't want to appear less friendly when I don't use mine in return. So just to let you all know that Laffite is my name of choice.
(Note: My name is not Percy, Gaylord, or Alyoisuis, or any such outrage; in fact, it's a very common guy's name and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it really, and is the same as one of the most macho actors in all of movies. I don't hate this name, mind you, I just don't particularly care for it. And this star is not one of my favorites either.
He is quite popular here on the TCM Forum, though).pps. It's not Gary.

So now you know what a full-scale polar bear attack looks like...sorta.

*- and I happen to think the opening shot works best without the on-screen credits.*
I agree with you. And this is what Orson wanted it as well...but it was a battle he lost.

Wow, great pic! I really love that fence in the background.
It needs to be filled in and painted but, of course, that's always
fun to do for a fence enthusiast.
"Course all the more fun with Miss Curves lyin' there, woo!
Good thing I really like to redo fences...or she might be a distraction.

Hello there, Helen fan
*(She tried to do it herself but couldn't because, after all, she's just a girl)*
*what do you mean she's just a girl!!!! heehee!*
Well, you know, she was weak. She couldn't get a sound out of that horn so she had to be a girl and use some sort of trickery to get a guy to do it for her---oh, and what a line, "It takes a strong man to blow a lusty blast," wow what guts to say something like that
---but of course he falls for it because she's a girl.And don't forget that scene when she's leaving Nanny Webster's cottage and she yells out "IF YOU DON'T APOLOGIZE, I'LL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN," and he doesn't answer because he's still embarrassed on account of that other girl, that ole busybody and blabbermouth Nanny Webster spilling the beans about the rose...so not hearing anything Babbie goes, "WELL, DID YOU APOLOGIZE?," and he yells back, "NOOOO!" and the she says, being just a girl that she is, "YES, YOU DID. I HEARD YOU," and then she stomps out and he thinks to himself, hey wait a minute, I did not no how apologize, and then he goes after her, just what she wanted him to do. She tricks him again...but what else can you expect from a girl.
('Course us guys, we'll always luv yuz anyways 'cause we cain't hep it.)
*then when the minister walked in and they had that conversation at the table about the rose, she acts as if she know3s nothing and its very convincing and having fun with it until nanny says something to affect of, "there is a girl." helen trips up and starts to cry a little and looks at the minister in question. "is this true?" she asks, and nanny webster explains about the rose and all the sudden helen knows its her, b/c she gave it to him in the garden. thats a great part!*
Wonderful! And, ooooh, how a guy hates that, to sit there and have his lovey-dovey feelings put out there with the object of his affections sitting right there and learning it for the first time, ouchy! The scene is so well written, though. ('Course the Minister might not think so
)*he is allowed to fall in love! i dont think he planned to, but really, when helen came up to him as a gypsy and kissed him right off, a perfect stranger, i think he was struck. heehee! it's like she knew they were going to fall in love, but she didnt know it yet. Or does that make any sense? heehee!*
I think she loved him from the get-go.
*Whoa, what a poem!*
*i think you can do just as good, youre a great poem and songwriter remember?*
Yeah, right
If I could write just one poem as pretty as that one in my whole life, I would consider it a career!*when my mother saw this movie with me, she said the same thing. she said that Babbie reminded her of me. oh gee, thanks momma. heehee!*
We may have to call you BabbieScotch once in a while as a reminder.
Whoa, is this a girl pirate a la Butterscotch? You look like you're fixin to draw your fake machete. I'd better git goin'.

*I think burlap never looked so good! B-)*
Years ago, I had an older confidant type friend who used to tell me, "Stick with me and we'll both we wearing burlap," meaning, of course, that we'll end up badly. Marilyn gives this a new meaning.

*Pour vous, Monsieur Yeux Lorgnants*
*Miss G*: Thanks for the photos. The over the grating pictures drove poor Joe up the wall. They were not married long when these pictures were done. Was Joe naive not to know that a celebrity and a sex goddess to boot belonged to all of us, so to speak? But I liked Marilyn in those other pictures too, where she dressed "normally" rather than overtly sexy. Let's face it, Marilyn would look good in burlap (and she did, with those potato sack pics).
*Film Fatale*: I like Don't Bother to Knock. She is a real Babe in the Woods. She needed rescuing and she got it. Her acting is good and this was before her foray in the Actor's Studio.
