MilesArcher Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 In the 1936 movie, "The Poor Little Rich Girl", Alice Faye sings a song called "When I'm With You". A line from the song is "Please let me make this confession, you are my magnificent obsession". That refers to the 1935 movie "Magnificent Obsession" with Irene Dunne and Robert Taylor. It was an adaptation of a book by Lloyd C. Douglas, who also wrote the screenplay. It was remade in 1954 with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. It's the 1954 version that most people are familiar with. It's a soap opera if there ever was one, with a very implausible plot. In the story, the young man goes to medical school so he can help find a cure for the woman whom he injured. In real life, Robert Taylor's mother came down with an, at the time, incurable illness. His father went to medical shool so he could learn how to find a cure for his wife. Guess what? It worked.

mudskipper Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Pawned cigarette case ? How about "Kind Lady" (1951), starring Ethel Barrymore and Angela Lansbury ? It has a plot similar to "Wait Until Dark" and "The Ladykillers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
