Dorothy tells Connie that her party dress is so perfect, she's the belle of the ball, etc. when in reality that hideous floppy black frock is actually a symbol of MOURNING -- yes! Because Stevens then takes a life-altering phone call and hears the dreadful news about her incredible shrinking man.

> It's tough looking at a movie with 40 year old eyes. It can't survive the scrutiny. But your quips and cracks are hilariously masterful, you two. I still enjoy the movie. (Not saying you don't). With these old myopic 50+ year old eyes of mine...I take it all in. Every improbable, lushly filmed, beautifully scored, vaselined-lens, lagoony moment of it. (Well, I still look with skepticism on the plastic doll going up in flames. I saw that when I saw the movie as a teenager. HA! My sister had enough dolls on her bed for me to recognize one when I saw it).

Oooh, I didn't realize you were heading towards my former stomping grounds, the Windy City! Are you going to be on the North Side by any chance? Have a delicious thin cracker-crust pie at Barry's Spot Pizza. It's on N. Broadway, near Elmdale. I used to live a block away, and DREAM about this pizza constantly here in taste-starved Boca.

Barry's is a tiny hole in the wall, more for delivery than a sit-down place, and they don't do any cross-country shipping like the more well-known establishments. Enjoy it and think of me.

> Arthur Hill? Be still my heart!!! He is one of my absolute favorites. I love his voice and yes Lynn...he was ?Owen Marshall.? Also a big fan of Monte Markham. You're right Bronxie, professorial and corporate slimy but I loved Artie so.

Arthur always seemed innocuous to me, but Monte Markham? Eeek! He's got that evil country-preacher look, you know, like Andy Griffith in A FACE IN THE CROWD.

> Yeah you're right, a C.B. DeMille squid can steal the show. I know about falling asleep during a movie. The only thing I can tell ya to do is to put in a tape or however you memorialize films (a DVD ?) If you fall asleep, you've got it. If you don't fall asleep, you?ve got it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, you're right of course. I've been trying to fill myself up with extra caffeine these Tuesday evenings in April, but more times than not, the coffee actually PUTS me to sleep. Go figure.

>

> ...and, a question, though -- what is it about Paulette Goddard that De Mille feels he has to bring down, humiliate, punish in a sort of, well, perverse kind of way, lol? In a couple of these movies, Paulette is told she's filthy and made to take a bath, or is being spanked. I saw Ray spanking her in WIND. He'd never subject Missy to this abuse!

>

> I?m thinking all these directors had crushes on their leading ladies...gals they could never get in real life if they weren?' directors! (Look at Hitch...but then again look at Victor Fleming). Directing them and having them under their control is one way to get 'em. Missy would have smacked that crap out of DeMille, that's why he didn't try that with her. Guess Paulette didn?t have that kind of clout. I remember the spanking scene. It was a patriarchal turn off. Didn?t Paulette smack Ray in "KITTY"? And didn?t he smack her back. Somehow that seemed more fair. (No I don't espouse men hitting women!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't remember Paulette hitting Ray in KITTY, but it would probably befit her guttersnipe background, even as she was shedding much of that to become a true lady. I'm thinking that even though DeMille proclaimed Missy his favorite actress, he maybe didn't think of her in any sexual or romantic fashion, the way he might have with Paulette;

Could that explain the spankings and baths? Kinda sick....

>

> LOL As for Duke, you could sort of see the beginnings of his screen persona -- an effortless take-charge attitude hiding a core of sweetness and vulnerability...

>

> Nicely said. Wasn't his persona firmly in place by this film? This is the beginnings? He was sweet with Paulette.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have't seen any of John's film's after STAGECOACH, between 1940 and 1942, but you could definitely see a natural star emerging from the Ringo Kid.

>

> Ray can definitely exude sinister-ness but I don't like him mean. I prefer Milland pleasant. He's never bland, though, when nice. There's always a hint of something a bit more complex, which I run from. However, I did find him very sexy in KITTY, rotten as he was. But with Patric Knowles around, why suffer?

>

> Ray did have a sly look about him; like he was up to something... like there was an inner joke only he knew. In "KITTY" he looked like he got a hearty good natured laugh out of everything Kitty thought would be a problem to overcome. He kind of did a sly Bette Davis-in-"...Baby Jane" laugh when he laughs behind the door at the fact that Kitty will palm off her baby on the old Duke (Reginald Owen). I'll betcha you didn't notice this...I'll betcha no one noticedd to see it.

> I'm enjoying Henry Fonda in DAISY KENYON. I love his marriage proposal to Daisy: "Come live with me and be my love". I realize that Dan is charismatic and powerful (two adjectives that frankly I would never have thought applied to Dana Andrews, but he plays this tycoon extremely well, and believably) but I'm so glad Daisy broke free. I think I would adore being married to Peter -- homey, private moments in front of a fireplace on the Cape, looking at beautiful architectural designs in a warm, cozy, romantic, loving environment.

>

> I?ve always enjoyed ?DAISY KENYON? myself. Choosing Fonda u]is[/u] the better and wiser choice for all those reasons you stated. I haven?t seen it in years, but I always remember a scene in a restaurant that I?ve been to. It?s across the street from the Greenwich movie theatre, which is now a health club. When I pass by the restaurant, I always think ?Daisy Kenyon.? In fact, that restaurant and (ex-movie theatre) is near the Moroccan restaurant you sent me to Bronxie. Joan often sounds affected when she speaks. I liked how she waid ?embroidery? in??THE WOMEN.?

[CineMaven]

Hi Jackaaaaay - But John Boles does nothing for me...

 

Not a blip on my radar either Jaxxxon. He makes me think of John Howard in "THE PHILADELPHIA STORY." But I did check out Boles in "FRANKENSTEIN." He was darkly handsome there. Well...compared to Colin Clive; hell...compared to Frankenstein's monster. Barely.

 

Boca Boca Bo-Boca, Fanana Fanna Fo-Foca - I LOVE Barbara Stanwyck in STELLA DALLAS! Anne Shirley is just wonderful... I really feel for Laurel. She's no crass, upwardly mobile little spoiled monster along Veda lines, but a sweet girl with an inborn gentility, a gracious, loyal child unfortunately saddled with a social liability

mother.

 

So is it Nature or Nature, Bronxie? I loved your account of Laurel?s conflict. I've got to be in the mood for the heartbreaking events of "STELLA DALLAS." I always liked Anne Shirley. I loved in "MURDER MY SWEET" when she tells off Claire Trevor and calls her a "big-league blonde." Shirley was married to John Payne.

 

I've only seen John Boles in three movies...He has nobility of the soul and heart in a quiet, gentlemanly manner. I'm in love with John Boles now.

 

Have at him. I'll take the patches and vest of Arthur Hill.

 

Because Stevens then takes a life-altering phone call and hears the dreadful news about her incredible shrinking man.

 

Not too shrinking to make Connie pregnant though.

 

I love the way Brian Aherne and family quickly scoot out of the hospital after learning the news of baby doll's true parentage. Brian pats Connie on the shoulder, "Well, my dear, you've been through a lot and it took great courage to tell us this". Then he, Lovey, and Bert scramble for the exit.

 

Well...what else would you expect from respectable, socially conformist doll-hating snobs?

 

As I recall WRITTEN ON THE WIND is quite an experience, especially the great Dorothy Malone.

 

It is. After all...she is the whole movie. And guess who tells her father (Robert Keith) "She picked me up. Face it, your daughter's a tramp." Or words to that effect. The gas station attendent played by.....

 

Yup, you got it. That mountain climbing shrinking man who falls for the Leech Woman.

 

Oooh, I didn't realize you were heading towards my former stomping grounds, the Windy City! Are you going to be on the North Side by any chance? Have a delicious thin cracker-crust pie at Barry's Spot Pizza. It's on N. Broadway, near Elmdale. I used to live a block away, and DREAM about this pizza constantly here in taste-starved Boca.

 

I was actually just passing through Chicago Bronxie. I'm on Amtrak right now on my way to California. I'm now in Missouri. But the pizza sounds delish!!! I may be in West Palm Beach this summer. How far is that from Boca Raton?

 

Arthur always seemed innocuous to me, but Monte Markham? Eeek! He's got that evil country-preacher look, you know, like Andy Griffith in A FACE IN THE CROWD.

 

Really? Funny, I always pictured him whispering sweet nothings in my ear unlike the Marjoe Gortner character you just described. Andy had a laugh that reached way down deep to his evil toes. He was like Crack to Patricia Neal in "A FACE..."

 

Yeah, you're right of course. I've been trying to fill myself up with extra caffeine these Tuesday evenings in April, but more times than not, the coffee actually PUTS me to sleep. Go figure.

 

Ha! Get your metabolism checked out. Also your eyes (Janis/Janet-Arthur/Fritz. Are you sure you're not thinking of Doodles Weaver)???

 

I'm thinking that even though DeMille proclaimed Missy his favorite actress, he maybe didn't think of her in any sexual or romantic fashion, the way he might have with Paulette; Could that explain the spankings and baths? Kinda sick....

 

Haha. Sick in a good way, right? Let?s face it...Great acting and great sex appeal use two different barometers in men's minds.

 

Was the baby Reginald's? I thought Ray was the father. Because it didn't look like Owen could, uh..well, you know...

 

No Reggie couldn't...well, you know. Sorry I didn?t make myself clearer. Paulette's baby in "KITTY" is really Ray's. He thinks it's her previous husband's baby who she tries to palm off on making Reginald thinks is his. And Ray has a jolly good laugh, a la Bette Davis as Baby Jane; cackling like a mean wittle kid behind the door. I loved the skewed "morality" of Kitty not wanting to tell the cad Milland that the baby's his...so he wouldn't think she was pressuring him to marry her; but she'd have the baby out of wedlock and sleep with all the old geezers Ray could line up for her. Boy...those 18th century folks!!!

 

I hope people don't think I hate Troy Donahue, or am trying to disparage him. Quite the contrary. Comparing him to my cutie-pie creature from the black lagoon is my compliment to Troy.

 

I will buy that swamp from you...but not this, you fish-lip hater!!!

 

Hey, weren't you supposed to visit John's Pizza in the West Village for me? LOL And Curry in a Hurry on 29th & Third? I'll throw in Papaya King on 86th & I think Third. (it's been decades) I'm in the foodie-wastelands of South Florida!!!! Help me, honey-bunch!!!!!

 

Uhmmmmmm...I plead the Fifth. But I'll try to go to all those places during the summer. (Curry. Gee, do I hafta????)

 

Oh god, The Three Stooges just appeared in FOUR FOR TEXAS. As Anthony Bourdain might say, ?www.****.com?.

 

OMG! ROFL!

 

By the way...I love your Mom. I see where you get your humor!

> No Reggie couldn't...well, you know. Sorry I didnt make myself clearer. Paulette's baby in "KITTY" is really Ray's. He thinks it's her previous husband's baby who she tries to palm off on making Reginald thinks is his. And Ray has a jolly good laugh, a la Bette Davis as Baby Jane; cackling like a mean wittle kid behind the door. I loved the skewed "morality" of Kitty not wanting to tell the cad Milland that the baby's his...so he wouldn't think she was pressuring him to marry her; but she'd have the baby out of wedlock and sleep with all the old geezers Ray could line up for her. Boy...those 18th century folks!!!

Jackie, I'm so excited, just discovered that ALIAS NICK BEAL is on YouTube in its entirety (10 parts) I'm watching it tomorrow and will report back.

 

Hey, did you see Alec Baldwin on The Barefoot Contessa? He picked some herbs for Ina but was afraid they wouldn't come up to her standards. We see him knocking on her big old Hamptons door with a faux-terrified look on his face, LOL. "I hope this is good enough for Ina!"

But then she tells us in her coy way, "Do you think I'm going to tell Alec Baldwin that what he brought me was bad?"

[CineMaven]

How'd THIS get in here? My train is careening through a black Missouri night honking its horn. I wanna know, what the HECK is in front of it, that's in its way?? There he goes again!

[CineMaven]

I don't remember Sheridan's laugh, but Clark's was so distinctive, a masculine, knowing chuckle, and always delivered as a reaction to some foolish headstrong woman who doesn't know she's in love with him.

 

Okay...I'll be a fool for him. Gable can laugh at me.

 

Now's that's interesting, Maven, the Malden/Matthau link. But Walter in A FACE IN THE CROWD is an intellectual (and I find him very attractive there) who yearns for Patricia Neal. I don't find him schlubby in the least in that part.

 

The schlubbiness comes in Matthau's films with Jack Lemmon. That's where I was making the connection. Schlubbiness...in general.

 

Malden, as much as I admire him as an actor (escept PARRISH, lol), I can't think of him in any carnal way."

 

Wow...Shall I call you B.G. DeMille? Quote the Bronxgirl, evermore:

 

I'm thinking that even though DeMille proclaimed Missy his favorite actress, he maybe didn't think of her in any sexual or romantic fashion, the way he might have with Paulette; Could that explain the spankings and baths? Kinda sick....

 

Speaking of non-carnality, when moira wrote that Dean Jagger was her favorite eunuch, I practically choked on a Stella D'Oro Breakfast Treat biscuit. Did she nail him or did she nail him? LOL

 

Oh she nailed him alrighty Bob! And listen, learn how to self-Heimlich yourself when you read this Message Board.

 

And isn't there an actress named Barbara Leigh? Oh,no! I'm getting a migraine. Janis Paige, she's got that big forehead, right? Oh wait, that's Janis Carter, no? I'm STILL confused.

 

Surely you mean Janet Gaynor. Or is that Janet Beecher. Why-don't-you-make- up-your-mind?

 

Hey, is that The Name Game? What a pair of old Baby Boomers we are.

 

We speaka da same language!!

 

I wouldn't mind having Arthur Hill as my history professor. I'd want John Boles for biology.

 

Don't know much about the French I took.

 

All the men in Susan's life, with the exception of Lloyd Nolan, looked like plastic dolls -- Grant Williams, Bert Convy, and Troy Donahue.

 

Ooooh, come to think of it you're right. Oh, those 1960's. Those were the days my friend. I thought they'd never end.

 

Grant Williams is in WRITTEN ON THE WIND? Dorothy would devour him, right? And spit up the bones.

 

Well she devoured 'something.' To quote Madame Cutter: "Sub-text, anyone?"

 

I just bought some sunfish today at my local supermarket. I refuse to call it tilapia. I'm suddenly seized with a desire to grab Troy Donahue and hold him close. A little tartar sauce would help.

 

I sense a recurring theme. Are you by chance, an Aquarius??

 

You're going West, young woman? I envy you -- Barcelona, California, and here I am stuck in bad-pizza city. West Palm is a hop, skip and a jump away from Boca. Oh, no, now I've got to lose about 15 pounds and try to look 20 years younger if a TCM Message Board member (YOU) might be stopping by to say hello. The pressure's on! No more Stella D'Oro Breakfast Treats for me now....

 

Eat to your heart's content. I'm not judgmental. Much. Save me some tartar sauce for my Nacho Cheese Doritos. (Wait a minute...is TCM paying you for product placement?)

 

My mother thanks you, my anole thanks you,..

 

Your what? Might I suggest some Prepara---....Ohhhhhhh..you mean, ol' oven-mitts. (I know, I know...I always go a bridge too far. Well, that's to cross those swamps you might try to sell in Boca).

[fxreyman]

Why the train Maven?

 

Afraid to fly??

 

Too bad it is Easter...... Another day and I would have driven down to La Junta to wave to you as your train wizzed by. La Junta is only 115 miles from Colorado Springs!

 

Have a nice trip.

Hey hey Foxy Rey. Afraid to fly? The Maven? A Capricorn? I've flown to Barcelona, Florida, Paris, Boston, London, Austin, Berlin, Los Angeles,

Remini, San Juan and the Carribbean.

 

But this time I wanted the adventure. I want to see our country. Right now the train is passing through Las Animas; wow...wide open spaces.

 

And I await Bronxie to come back with some witty and pithy remarks. Hope all's well with you.

I wanted to stay up for Vic last night (especially the one with young Ida) but unfortunately fell asleep, and woke up with Natalie Wood wearing a blonde wig she stole from Jean Simmons in HOME BEFORE DARK. Then I saw a Greek god -- Paul Newman as "Basil" -- this must have been THE SILVER CHALICE. He was exclaiming, "This is madness!" How true. I conked out just as Virginia Mayo was slinking her way across the screen.

 

There is a hedge outside my apartment building with a disturbing looking Triffid thing about to blossom.

I wouldn't even feel like a real woman if Gable didn't give me that chuckle. Honestly! There's just something about the King that makes me want to put away my tomboy jeans and don a sexy sun-dress (well, this IS Florida).

 

True that. But don't forget...Gable liked riding horses, fishing, ranching, hunting and Lombard did all that too. So keep those jeans close by.

 

I could see Cecil on the set: "Harder, Ray! You've got to spank Paulette harder!"

 

No comment. < Spit Take! >

 

Dean Jagger looks like he came out of the womb 62 years old. I love my Stella Meredith Breakfast Treats, and usually dunk them in coffee for softening, but this time I ate one "cold".

 

Holy Holloway. OUCH!!! Wouldn't that make his mom's uterus about 132? I mean, if she even had a uterus in the first place.

 

I saw Dean Jagger in a 30's murder mystery when he was young. (Nope, it wasn't Louis Calhern). Dean had the same voice and black hair. Hell...he had hair. He was cute. But when he was older...boy, was he older-r-r-r-r-r-r.

 

When you come for a visit I'll bring out the rocking chairs and we can reminisce about the old days when Marlo Thomas and "Donald" dated each other for five years without anything more than a goodnight kiss at her door. Not that that's a good thing.

 

Uhmmm...yeah, that?s a very NOT good thing. But can we talk about 30's and 40's movies. And I wanna meet your Mom.

 

What a wonderful world this would be if John Boles were in it. Also David Manners. I want to see David Manner's armpits. I think it would excite me.

 

Armpits? Okay, it's official...Libras are strange.

 

I'm only attending this film festival to see one thing: David Manners on the BIG screen in "THE MUMMY" saying ONE thing:

 

* "...And boy was it hot. < WHISTLES > That tomb."

 

Oh...and to hear Zita Johann say:

 

* "Isis, save me from this Mummy!"

 

Oh...and some threat one of the old guys levels at Ardef Bey about cracking his dried flesh. Yep...that?s it.

 

I was never a hippie. My dream back then was to live like a preppie in the Hamptons. Terrible, I know...

 

No bra burning or Patchuli for you I gather. Well, who can blame ya! Have you seen those communes?

 

Cheese Doritos, oh be still my heart. Everyone used to tell me I looked like Ali McGraw. But that was 30 years ago, lol.

 

Well that was a good start; Ali was very attractive. And I'm sure the today looks just as good on you. After all, you've got Gable in a sun-dress laughing at you. Now who else can claim that but Ali or Angie Harmon (who looks like Ali MacGraw too).

 

Wait a minute, let me correct myself: BRIDGE TO THE SUN, oooh, James Shigeda....yum!

I love James Shigeta. "Crimson Kimono" "Bridge to the Sun" and of course, "Flower Drum Song." He should have been a strong leading man. Who wouldn?t want to be kissed by him.
