CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 "Did anyone watch 'THE NANNY'? Bette Davis's eyebrows were certainly a sight. Those caterpillars had a life all their own.? A good Asian eyebrow threading place would have benefitted her immensely! And even my girl Kim Novak. I saw about 20 minutes of "THE NANNY" and fell asleep. I've seen it many years ago, but I don't remember how it played it out. I think the boy should have been whipped within an inch of his life. What a darned little brat!! Unless Bette was really a murderous nanny. And if she was, I'd say...give her a raise. I disliked that kid. ?With the exceptions of Rod Taylor, Stuart Whitman, and the very young Sean Connery, I prefer guys who are pretty, charming, and sweet. They're more manly to me somehow...? Rudy looks good in this photo Bronxie, with his wife-beater shirt on. Rod, Stewart and Sean, gee...dreamboats. "My mother and Rudolph Valentino....THEN, I showed her the YouTube video "All I Wanna Do Is Touch You", and she leaned into my computer screen to get a better look. "Hmmmm", Mom purred. She also viewed those EAGLE clips with Marie Dresser. Again, "Hmmmmm....so handsome, very charming, yes...." Her assessment of Rudy? "Oh, he would have been a big star in talking pictures. I'm sure of it." I knew it!!! We should ALL listen to our Mothers!! Way to go, Mother Bronxgirl!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 ?I was just trying to figure out where I had seen this guy before. DUH. Cover them up with a suit and I can't tell em apart.? Haaaaaaaaa, JackaaaaAaaaay. You?re right. ?I don't even want to think about John Hoyt...I can't make the body and face go together and it freaks me OUT.? Actually, I wouldn't be so hard on John Hoyt. He wasn't such a bad looking man. He has a strong chiseled look...he looks like all those business men; those men in the grey flannel suits. "I don't feel so good. Time to look at Rudy.... time to look at Rudy....." Well...that's not a bad thing, now is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 COPS??! Wow, I would have never associated Rudy with that song. I'll tell you who Bette should have murdered -- Bonita Granville as June Vale in 'NOW, VOYAGER'." Ha! Now THAT was a hateful little wench. (Especially in "THESE THREE").

Bronxgirl48 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 But isn't Cops the show where all the guys have those white "wife-beater" undershirts, lol? Rudy of course respected women and treated them with the utmost courtesy and love, but look where it got him -- nowhere! Wandering the Palm Springs desert like a lost soul, stuffing his face with even more food than he usually ate, crying his eyes out, the poor sweet boy. It's interesting -- either Bonita was really great as a little bee-itch, or strangely boring as a good girl, Nancy Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Somebody ought to pick Rudy off of the streets before he winds up in Key West. Your description sounds like he could be in big trouble. I was totally loving Frankie Thomas in Bonita's "Nancy Drew" series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Oh, dear, Rudy in Key West, lol. Don't make me think about it. Not that there's -- oh, hell, forget it, NO. I like Frankie Thomas as the "sophisticated" cadet squiring Ginger in THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 HA!!! Actually, Rudy might have stayed at this place, around since the 1890's. He loved nature, and enjoyed fishing in Florida (also Maine) Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jul 30, 2011 6:14 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I was trying to picture Valentino there. Iit just looks so decidedly modern, I couldn't do it. But what I could see were my friends and I there...sipping on Pi?a Coladas...by the pool. Funny how clear that looks to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Rudy rented a cabin and spent time fishing somewhere in Florida, but I'm not sure where. I doubt it was Key West, and I'm glad of course, but only because I'd be jealous, lol. ALEXANDER THE GREAT, blech. More like mediocre. Declamatory snoozefest; only Fredric March keeps it real.

JackFavell Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I really like *Boy on a Dolphin* coming up at six ET. I think there is a "Hey, Ladeee" or two in it as well. Edited by: JackFavell on Jul 30, 2011 4:28 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 I was watching KATHLEEN (so weak, even Gail Patrick couldn't save it) and you should have seen the look on my face when 12 year old Shirley Temple, in response to a doctor's "How are you doing, young lady?", replies, "I get nauseous in the morning and have a craving for avocados" She's supposed to be an imaginative and psychologically damaged child, but heavens, how did that get past the censors, lol? And in 1941 yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 in response to: CineMaven "LOL Don't forget Lee J. Cobb." WHO can forget screamin' corn-on-the-cobb? "YOU'RE LETTING HIM SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS!!!!" (But I loved him to death in "THE EXORCIST"). ************** "Ooh, I'm in the mood for Mediterranean sponge diving, ancient artifacts, Sophia Loren, and Alan Ladd. Even with the urchin alert." Look at Alan Ladd. He sure ain't checking for urchins. He can't believe his blonde luck!!!!! ************** "...You should have seen the look on my face when 12 year old Shirley Temple, in response to a doctor's 'How are you doing, young lady?', replies, 'I get nauseous in the morning and have a craving for avocados.' Well...that's our Shirley. She was always so precocious...and avocados are healthy... "She's supposed to be an imaginative and psychologically damaged child, but heavens, how did that get past the censors, lol? And in 1941 yet??" How did THIS get past the censors in 1957? GREAT GATSBY!!! HOW MANY TWELVE YEAR OLD BOYS DID SHE PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGE? ...AND FARRAH FAWCETT ONLY TOSSED BACK HER HAIR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm beginning to think that all these urchins were played by one boy. They all look, act, sound alike, don't they? I could have sworn Phaedra's brother Niko in BOY ON A DOLPHIN was Mauro from SUMMERTIME. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jul 31, 2011 1:00 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 I like Lee as Kinderman in THE EXORCIST too, one of his best performances actually. It came back to me while watching BOY ON A DOLPHIN just how annoyinig they made Sophia's character. I mean, here we have this voluptuous European woman -- but for most of the movie she's directed to act like a loud, angry, wild child. At the "last" minute we're supposed to be believe Phaedra and Alan Ladd "get together" just like -- that! For the first half of the story, Sophia is practically de-sexualized (if that's possible) but then the script plays catch-up. That first glorious, potentially censorious shot of the melon-ious Loren rising out of the ocean like some lusty Greek, er, I mean Italian, no make that Neapolitan, mermaid, is almost a tease. I wanted to drown Niko. Alan looked a little tired. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jul 31, 2011 12:59 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
