Attack of the Giant Things! Night of the Lepus Tarantula It Came From beneath the Sea Beginning of the End Killer Shrews

Its a TV movie, but Hepburn was mostly playing Hepburn in This Can't Be Love. She plays a spunky, out-spoken aging movie star reunited with an old flame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxOq59PsFYk Edited by: traceyk65 on Jan 25, 2011 4:40 PM

(sorry, tracey, baby ) No prblem. I should be more clear--I tend to write a little bit stream-of-consciously (is that even a word?) at times and if you aren't in my head (which I don't recommend) at the time, it can be a little confusing.

RE: the Dietrich-WB piece a couple of "days" ago...I wonder if she ever did have a deal with Warner? Her daughter doesn't mention it in her bio and it's not in anything else I've read before. I wonder if it was a planted piece to stir up interest. Her career wasn;t doing too well at at that point--she'd been living on money from who-knows-where (I've read everything from a secret (from other Paramount stars) clause that gave her a share of the profits from her films to some sort of Communist plot) and trvelling around Europe and back and forth to America for most of 1938. She was in America for the first half of 1939, though.

She's also very good in The African Queen, Summertime, Long Day's Journey into Night and surprisingly, Song of Love. I like most of Kate's films, though her 1930's stuff is pretty hit or miss (Alice Adams Holiday or Stage Door vs Mary of Scotland, Morning Glory or (good god) The Little Minister for example)

> {quote:title=MyFavoriteFilms wrote:}{quote} > I don't think we should start using the phrase 'modern classic' in a negative sense. That is what I am detecting. It would be awfully sad if a GONE WITH THE WIND type film came along today and people refused to give it its due just because it was not made during the studio era. That's ridiculous. A classic film is a classic film, regardless of era. Oh, well said!

Probably not. If we look at the ROCKY series, we can see that several of the follow-ups performed very well at the box office (or else they would not have continued making them), but most of the sequels lack the magic of the original, which was a best picture Oscar winner. > > It appears that you are very loose with the term "CLASSIC". Of course you are entitled to your OPINION, but an OPINION does not make it a FACT. RAIDERS was a fun action picture, but not a CLASSIC, far from it. It's as much a classic as, say, The Adventures of Robin Hood or Gunga Din. In fact, it's very similar in style and content, except that Gunga Din doesn't have a spunky leading lady...

Errol Flynn as John Barrymore in Too Much Too Soon wasn't too far off the mark... Edited by: traceyk65 on Jan 23, 2011 1:11 PM

BTW, I have about 1500 of these cards, usually in complete sets, so if you have a fave from the 20's or 30's you wanna see cards of, let me know. There's a good chance I have at least one card of them. *Dietrich:* Edited by: traceyk65 on Jan 21, 2011 1:18 PM
