CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hey...Bronxie's here. Now I can break away from the thirty-five threads that were posted on what happened with TCM's screening of "GANDHI." Kind of a drag? Well...that takes the wind of my sails: to read you say that. But what perks me up again is your comment on "X, Y & Zee." Yes, you're remembering correctly. I thought the film was a hoot and I haven't seen it in thirty years. You know what...I think I'll go and read post number thirty six on the "GANDHI" mis-hap. An investigation should be done...heads must roll...noses must be cut to spite faces. Oh the hu- manity. The humanity. Yes, Susannah York was in "The Killing of Sister George." Hey, was Gandhi a brunette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Evening Jackaaaaaay. Listen, do you have any laundry to be done? Dishes to be washed? Dogs to be walked? Socks to be darned? Lawns to be mowed? Groceries that need to be bought. C.V.s (uh...that's curriculum vitae, not...) to be updated? Rooms that need to be painted?? I say this as a grateful (but technologically challenged) classic film lover who is trying to think of a way to THANK YOU for these photos of those dazzling brunettes...and those great shots of my darling sweetie pie Don Taylor. Re: AVA...How can one person have all those different faces? (This time in a good way). And Jean Peters...I think she's one of the unsung beauties and per- sonalities of Hollywood. Thank you, JackFavell. PM me to tell me your terms. I'm retired...I have time to do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Awwww...great shot Miss G. Thanx!!! How can a goddess who writes so eloquently about John Ford, and so sensitively about "You Only Live Once" get down with "Butterfield 8"?? Hmmm... doesn't that screen shot say it all?

JackFavell Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Everything you mentioned needs doing, MAva, even the C.V. - which reminds me, can you _take out_ the trash as well? I love Butterfield 8 too, and not for camp value. I am not the biggest Liz fan, but I do like her, and think she was great looking in A Place in the Sun and the Father movies, and Giant.

Ever see him in Invitation to a Gunfighter? It's a western, but it doesn't feel as much like one because it's really very psychological and about societal prejudices. Oh, my.

CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 > "Everything you mentioned needs doing, MAva, even the C.V. - which reminds me, can you take out the trash as well?" It would be my unmitigated pleasure. And if I was too snarkily sarcastic in my feeble effort to be witty, let me make this perfectly clear... I really do love "Butterfield 8" and not in a campy way; I do cringe at Eddie Fisher, but everything else was great in that 1960's way. Yup, remember Suzanne Pleshette in her O'Hara potboiler "A Rage to Live"? Love that stuff. And Elizabeth costarring with Rock Hudson was a fantastic looking pair. Hollywood Movie Stars. Is it raining where YOU are, Bronxie? - "And Laurence Harvey, ooh, la, la! That sexy Eurasian!" Laurence Harvey? Sexy, did you say? From Lithuania?? Coral Browne. Yeah, she deserves a "GACK!!" Wasn't she married to Vincent Price? "...Sister George" reminded me of a female version of "The Boys In the Band." Coral. Whew! She was... sumthin' else. Yul Brynner. Yup. How did I miss him one of my flutter-worthy faves. His portrayal of Ramses just knocked Moses! Moses! Moses! out of the park for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieTSB Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Lordy. Ava. Wowsers. I loved her older-age looks, too. My my... As for Liz Taylor, I think my disinterest/disdain is based first on the Very Adult Subject Matters of her films when I was growing up and they populated the theaters, and then her publicized personal events. There wasn't a lot to like. Going back to see her films later, and trying to rewatch them - I still can't find anything likeable - or not enough to take my eyes offa Ava. Lordy.

JackFavell Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 MAva - I didn't think you were snarky about B8 at all.... I know how much you love Liz - snarky about her -? Never! Bronxiegirl - Yul Brynner, oh my! And he has the BEST line in Moses, Moses - >"You will be my wife. You will come to me whenever I call you,and I will enjoy that very much.

CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Lord love a duck...bless you Favell. THAT is the line of the movie. I couldn't quote it verbatim, but I'm glad you did. Doesn't Ramses threaten to mingle Moses' blood with her own, too? And the look on her face. I loved the way Ramses (Yul! Yul!) tears the neckplace piece from his neck and the way he sits on the throne. Those legs and thighs. He was gorgeous. Oh yeah, maybe Moses brought down the tablets...but Ramses brought down the pyramids. Ugh! Don't I have some editing to do? Three episodes, comin' right up. And thanx again for the Ava pix. Ollie, don't you know yet NOT to sit so close to the monitor?? I gotta tell you everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 My opinion of Liz and Richard Burton has changed since I began excerpts and book reviews for Furious Love. Despite the less than stellar scripts they too-often chose, they loved each other very much and what happened in the last days of Burton's life is heartbreaking.

I share your feelings about Eddie Fisher. Ah, Suzanne Pleshette, who doesn't love her? A RAGE TO LIVE is sort of a low-rent version of BUTTERFIELD 8, in the sub-genre of nymphomaniac movies. But unfortunately in ARTL the pestering guy isn't exactly as good-looking, sophisticated, or icily attractive as Laurence Harvey, instead, it's the always creepy Ben Gazzara, who now as you know is a mummy. > > Is it raining where YOU are, Bronxie? - "And Laurence Harvey, ooh, la, la!

Ever since seeing him in A GIRL NAMED TAMIKO (France Nuyen is so charming, Martha Hyers's smile at its most crooked; I wish TCM would air this) I've always thought that Harvey actually had that background. > > Coral Browne. Yeah, she deserves a "GACK!!" Wasn't she married to Vincent Price? "...Sister George" reminded me of a female version of "The Boys In the Band." Coral. Whew! She was... sumthin' else.

Moses! Moses! out of the park for me. Drat! I also forgot to put Yul on the Flutterful list. I'm also thinking of including Chuck Heston there as well (not as Moses, however) Had another interesting dream last night. Dana Andrews (I had watched LAURA yesterday afternoon) ran an ice-cream truck, and had on a cute white outfit. He smiled at me but didn't say anything. The End.

rohanaka Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm sending some help for you, on that mountaintop, Ro. Sometimes you meet the loveliest people there TOO sweet.. thank you Ms Favell!! They make a LOVELY couple.. Hope they can stop in for tea sometime while I am in between naps!! :-) Oh.. and Re: Ramses... I love that whole "to mingle with your own" line.. that is one of the best bits in that whole movie. ha. And wowsa... LOVELY Ava pics, youngun. :-) PS: Miss Maven.... Give Ro 'one boy...one special boy...one boy to cling to...forever and ever.' Someone like ohhhhhhhh saaaaaaay, Olivier in "Wuthering Heights." Brooding, sullen, heartbroken. He'll be on the rebound which might make for some interesting...conversation, for Rohanaka up there on those cold, wintry, mountaintops. Heathcliff?????? Nah... I'd likely bop him upside the head with a big rock.. ha. Oh me... Bah... I LOVE that story but I have YET to figure out why because I HATE his character.. and Kathy too.. OH me... what a couple of self absorbed JERKS!!! (Sorry ladies.. ha. Don't all of you throw something at me at once.. yikes... Oh brother.. what kind of romance story fan AM I anyway??????????????????????????????? I need to turn in my membership card or SOMETHING!! ha.) But back to your orginal comment Miss Maven.. ha... I already HAVE that "one boy.. one special boy" (Remember the other day when I said my heart belongs to the QT??) And he is the ANTI-Heathcliff.. there is not a selfish or self-absorbed bone in that man's body.. so pretty much.. only every NOW AND THEN do I ever want to bop him upside the head or anything.. ha. (Golly how DOES that man put up w/ me???????) PS: Mr. Grey.. Lassie Quit.. mind your manners, you scalawag... you are disturbing the peaceful beauty of my mountain top... ha. OH where oh where has that Butterscotch gotten to?? We need her long gloves to come and strangle you.. (PS: Was that Wake of the Red Witch??? Oh golly.. color me.. GREEN with envy... I still would like to see that one.. but HEY... did I mention BLOOD ALLEY is going to be on in a few days?????????????? Whoopeeeeee!!!!)

CineMaven Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Good Mornin', Good Mornin'...Rain Rain Go Away - ?Ever since seeing him in ?A GIRL NAMED TAMIKO?...I've always thought that Harvey actually had that background.? WOW!!! What a movie fan you really are. I haven?t heard that title in more than thirty years. Oh man!! I used to write down great lines from movies I saw. Wrote 'em down in a binder. I know I have something from "A Girl Named Tamiko." I used to write the Film Title, Stars, and Date I Watched the Movie. Yeah...I had nuthin' better to do as a teenager. ?Yep, she and Vincent were married. I always thought that was an odd couple...? Vincent and Coral looked pretty evenly matched to me. I don?t see Vinnie with a glamorgirl. ?Dana Andrews (I had watched LAURA yesterday afternoon) ran an ice-cream truck, and had on a cute white outfit. He smiled at me but didn't say anything. The End.? Ha. At least Miss Goddess almost got James Stewart to tell his father they were going to get married. If one of you gals dreams of Yul Brynner...please pass that along to the rest of us. Just very curious about his etc. etc. etc. Dream a little dream for me. Hi there Rohanaka - ?Heathcliff?????? Nah...I'd likely bop him upside the head with a big rock...ha. But back to your orginal comment Miss Maven.. ha... I already HAVE that "one boy.. one special boy" (Remember the other day when I said my heart belongs to the QT??)? Yes I do. It?s just that Donat looked so feeble, a mild breeze could blow him off the mountain top, and ?Heathcliff? looked so virile. But aaaah yes Ro. I remember. You?ve got the QT. You lucky girl!! Hiya Grimesy - ?Hey! Let's see, since July 15th, I've watched: ...'Bhowani Junction' 'Sundown'...?Strangers When We Meet?.? Whoa...I see two Tierneys, a Novak and an Ava.
