mudskipper Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nope...This is color comedy . Although it has a different title, it is a remake of an earlier movie which had been filmed three times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudskipper Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Question: Bernard Herrmann was originally hired to compose the original music for this wonderful movie but quit because of David Selznick's interference. Dmitri Tiomkin was then hired and, at Selznick's insistence, he ended up using various themes by Claude Debussy...which was a real blessing because the music was perfect for the movie's atmosphere (I guess Selznick knew what he wanted..)...All that remains of Herrmann's contribution is a terrible song which nobody would remember except for the lyrics....Name the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about.... Cujas, you should know this one... Edited by: mudskipper on Nov 27, 2010 11:36 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Actually Laura's portrait theme was the song that I loved all my life--but you're talking about another portrait movie here. In *Portrait of Jennie* Tiomkin utilized Debussy in the score, but Hermann's "Jennie's Song" was still used. Est-ce qu'il convient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 "Arabesque 1 and 2"..."The Girl With Flaxen Hair"...Ah, Debussy, don't you just love his Impressionist music?.... Oui, plus appropri? ... ? votre tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 This is a thought question--but it's not hard. The significance of the character of "Nick, the Chauffeur" in the history of Hollywood movies. I'm looking for at least 2 things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
