> I think she was "cute" but not beautiful.
I wonder if it would be interesting to start a thread titled: "What is difference between cute and beautiful?"
-
> I think she was "cute" but not beautiful.
I agree. Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor were "beautiful", but she was "cute", and so was Debbie Reynolds. One of the "cutest" for me was Marian Marsh in "Svengali". Barbara Stanwyck was not beautitul or cute, but she was "attractive", in my opinion.
What do you suppose the difference between "beautiful" and "cute" might be? I'm not sure exactly what it is.

Her lips, her baby face, her tight dresses, and her personality is cute.

Me too. I can't read the titles and watch the film at the same time.

I don't know.
He was good in "A Kiss Before Dying", which TCM has shown several times.
He was good in "The Searchers" too.
Here are his other films:

I loved this one when I saw it in 1951. I saw part of it on TCM a few years ago. This one is very good.

This one is strange. Unusual religious stuff mixed in with the Mars story.

> What did I miss? What was added?
Mainly just a few lines of dialogue and some Nietzsche philosophy about how to use people.

If I recall correctly, they were at some kind of dinner or banquet that was being held in the same building as the TV show was on live. They didn?t look just ?old?. They had probably been drinking and relaxing. I?ve done it many times. As I recall, they didn?t say much during the program.

Isn't there a bowling alley and a shoot out in "Storm Warning" with Doris Day and Ronald Reagan?

> Anyone else found this film a bit confusing?
I think the tradition of confusing mystery plots goes back at least to the mystery movies of the 1930s, such as some of Warren William's and Ricardo Cortez's films. This is different from the gold gangster films that had easy to follow plots.
The confusing plots probably go back to the 1920 mystery novels that some of the early movies were based, and in fact I read a bunch of Sherlock Holmes short stories years ago and they were confusing too.

I use the Direct TV satellite system, and I have some break up and freezing problems every time there is snow on my dish. I have to put on my coat over my pajamas and go out and wipe the snow off my dish. That is aggravating during blizzards. I feel like an old pioneer guy having to go out and wipe the snow off my dish so I can watch TV. Lol.

Hmm, I thought I saw it in color years ago. The guy gets a million pound note, in some kind of bet (I think). He shows it around at banks and hotels, and all of a sudden he is treated with respect and has lots of free stuff given to him, so he doesn't need to cash the million pound note.

I saw the dress briefly but I couldn't tell what it was made out of.

I always wanted one of those Dodge Ambulances....

I saw that program live. They were both very old and drunk.

TCM usually airs the Dodge truck short after airing King Solomon's Mines. It's about the trucks they used to haul the equipment into Africa to make the movie.

Seems like that film has either Maureen O'Hara in it or Rhonda Fleming. I remember one about an American woman who was kidnapped. Maybe this is it:

Hi, I use Google as my spelling dictionary. I can type in just about anything and it will ask me, "Did you mean...." and it will give me the correct spelling, and I say "Yes! Yes! That's what I meant!"

Ok, thanks. I thought maybe I had missed something, such as secret drug use or something. I loved those art deco sets and that fancy car.

I think they were pretty good in "The Oklahoma Kid". I think EG Robinson should have played the corrupt town official. They should have done more westerns.

I would think that the mislabeled disks would be worth some money to collectors in future years.
