cmvgor Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I saw that film once, several years ago, and I'm not eager to see it again. I was impressed by the drama and the performances, though,and the memory stayed with me. New one: Family drama. B&W.

cmvgor Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Not *Since You Went Away*. Parents, teenage son and daughter, and an outsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (40,899) The outsider wants in. He is a foreign-born student, hired as the daughter's tutor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 There are hints of Nazi oppression experiences in the tutor's background. The source is a stage play about a British family, which became a film about an American family. Removal in both time and distance from Germany weakened the force of the story according to commentary as of relase date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not *Tomorrow The World*. The husband is a successful business owner. The wife runs the family otherwise, and she has social and artistic pretensions. The son feels crowded by his father's strength and his mother's domination. The daughter has some shallow (ditsy) romantic notions. They all react in their own ways to the tutor's presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 These people are in a summer home, on the Pacific coast; the time is approaching when they will return home. The tutor fixes on the wife as the person most likely to be able to give him a permanent place with this family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 As part of her artistic persona, the wife works much of the summer on sizable and elaborate piece of embroidery. It is on a frame set up on an easel, and the parlor is her workplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 In this small cast, there are a number of awards and a lot of award nominations. One cast member took home an Oscar due to a previous performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 At about 100 Views or so: Blend and stir. What could change things here? The wife hired the daughter's tutor with the thought in the back of her mind that she was also recruiting an eventual lover. Then, with summer's-end departure looming, he appeals to her in terms indicating a _mother_ image. (Can you say "fuggetaboutit"?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The husband is portrayed by a British-born actor who often played American roles, and fit smoothly into that image. The wife had a long career, mostly in comedy, but she had serious drama chops also. I usually don't forget this point: Early 1960s release.

cmvgor Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 At about 125 Views: Back to plot points. Stuff hits fans. Voices are raised; matters are resolved; acceptances and resolutions are reached. The outsider will not become an insider. The embroidery project is referenced again when the wife is seen arranging to put it away and keep it at the summer cottage instead of take it back to the main house. _Husband_: "I rather liked that." _Wife_: "We don't have room for it at home."

cmvgor Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 At some 150 Views or so, this has about used me up. *Five Finger Exercize* (1962) had Jack Hawkins and Rosalind Russell as the parents. Richard Beymer as the son. Daughter Annette Gorman's career tapered off after a few TV sitcom appearences. For Maximilian Schell, the tudor was his first role after taking home his Oscar for *Judgement At Nuremberg*. Open thread. I'll come back with another title in about 24 hours if no one has posted by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thanks, finance. Accidental good luck. -- I scoped out *Seven-Ups* recently with the thought of posting it myself. For my money, a strong contender for the best urban chase scene ever, giveortake *Bullitt*. New one: Serious charges that a book publishing firm has robbed one of it's authors of a large sum of money by diverting his royalty checks to another party -- a woman. The author's wife is the complaining party. Mid 50s. Color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lawyer from a New York firm who had grown up in the vacinity of the author's home, goes back there to investigate. Meets old friends and makes new acquaintences. Renewed memories of why he left.

cmvgor Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Divisions along racial, social and economic lines. A woman who once had been the lawyer's sweetheart had married socially beneath her station in order to marry money and get her husband to purchase and renovate her family's former estate.
