Bronxgirl48 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hi, sweetpea! Buon natale and a joyeux noel to you and Mother Molo. Mom announced this afternoon that she needed a nose hair clipper, so we went to Walgreens. I never knew this was part of her beauty regimen.

JackFavell Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 OOH, thanksss for cluing me innnn. (my Kaaa voice). Joe's just great in TJB. It was his favorite movie that he worked on. Of course, he's got a great role! I missed *Four Feathers* too. John Clement is just wonderful in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I think it's so sad when Mowgli's mother doesn't remember him later, like she is in denial that this scrawny, scary scarred up wolf boy could be the same child as her son, Natoo, or is that Naatu? I like Joe's shirt with the shoulder slit open - even with his beard hiding his face, he's got a nice lean looking neck and body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 LOL, Kaa and Burgess Meredith's "pet" from FOUL PLAY are the only two ssssnakes that are even remotely cute, if one can use that adjective about these slithery reptiles. I didn't know George Sanders was the voice of Shere Khan in the Disney JUNGLE BOOK. Perfect voice casting, ha! I love how wonderfully sinister Joe can make a line, "Yes, more than two..." He's very handsome in the black turban. Sabu is terrific, very underrated in my opinion. Saw a smidgeon of DRUMS, which I believe was his first role. A natural talent! Regiment leader to the troops: "Now no nosy parkerin' in front of the 'arem doors!" British colonial adventure, colorful, rousing, politically incorrect. I don't know if it was my aging television set or the movie's poor color, but Valerie Hobson looked positively psychedelic. None too flattering.

JackFavell Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Oh, my gosh, Shere Khan, the voice of my childhood.... along with Phil Harris! No wonder I feel so personally about George Sanders now, like I've known him all my life.... I have! Sabu is also someone I've always known - the only classic film on much in Oklahoma when I was growing up was *The Thief of Baghdad* , so I got to know Sabu very well. I like his naughtiness in that one, even more now that I am grown up. He's is just marvelous in all his movies, I totally agree. He was an incredible natural actor - that scene in JB where he is scared by the torch fire in the village, his wolf cries and the terror on his face are unmistakably doggie in nature. It's a brave actor who can fearlessly bring out the animal in himself. I saw *Drums* once before and thought it was pretty un-PC, but Sabu was great. Valerie Hobson is an actress who is going further and further down in my estimation as I see more of her movies. She's always the same, no matter the role. Her starchiness has begun to wear on me, and the way she is always presented as the picture of British womanhood bugs me. Heaven help them if that's their idea of perfection.

Bronxgirl48 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 What I really love about Sabu is how he "gets into" each character, and seems to totally believe in them so that we do, too. Throughout all these fantastical adventures, he's "real" and earnest. (yet willing to be playful, too) It's official, I need a new living room t.v. DRUMS (or is the title THE DRUM?) is on YouTube where Valerie is not orange but rather dun-colored and washed out. The story tries to be "even-handed" in a fashion -- Hobson: "Did you know that polo originated in India?" And Desmond Tester (still dorky) develops a bond with Sabu. I'm not quite sure who we're supposed to side with, the sun-never-sets Brits or the "exotic" Indian rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I know what you mean about Valerie Hobson, the hoity-toity English ice queen, lol, but she's actually softer in DRUMS, being kind to Sabu without realizing he's a little prince. Val is toasted -- given the ultimate "civilized" colonial compliment at a dinner party: "To Mrs. Carruthers, part of that great parade of women joining their husbands in foreign outposts, bringing grace and sweetness from their other life..."

Bronxgirl48 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Look what I found -- I thought DRUMS was Sabu's first part, but I guess ELEPHANT BOY is. He's adorable! Full of grace, charm, playfulness, dignity, and a certain aristocratic air. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Dec 26, 2011 8:16 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterscotchgreer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Alright who watched Margie when it was on for the first time here?!! Can we pretty please with sugar on top and a big smile talk about it in full detail? it is one of my favorite movies of all time and has such underestimated talent, brilliance, and beauty! It is one of the first movies i ever remember watching with grandmama, because she loves it so dearly. we always joked about "Taking the marines out of nicaragua!" and just loving the sheer delight in the silly situations Jeanne Crain's character gets into.

MissGoddess Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 When *Margie* was on the other night it was the first time I'd seen it in ages. I remember liking it and I still do. It's very charming and warm and Jeanne Crain is always good in these youthful roles. I think what I liked is that she plays a girl who goes through all the awkward, excruciating issues with constant embarrassment over everything that teenagers always feel: we were embarrassed by our family, our clothes, our everything! I thought it was funny how she always felt inferior to Barbara Lawrence, the flirty blonde classmate and neighbor. Barbara was pretty funny. She was the bratty sister of Linda Darnell in *A Letter to Three Wives*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was thinking how hard it was to imagine Jeanne feeling awkward or less pretty than anyone! But she pulled off that gawkiness perfectly - a real acting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I know, she was gorgeous! When she put on that pink gown, it reminded me of the "ashes of roses" dress that Rachel Ward wore later in The Thorn Birds...and a similar gown is described in L.M. Montgomery's novel from the same period, Emily of New Moon. I wonder if it was a popular color/style in that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've never seen TheThorn Birds, but I looked it up and it does look so much styled on the "Margie" dress! I didn't know that L.M Montgomery wrote any other books besides Anne of Green Gables. I should check them out - I loved those books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
