RAMBLES Part II

[FrankGrimes]

No! in House Across the Bay he's a tragic figure, badly used and yet he does

the noble thing. He really loved someone else more than himself. I can't say the

same about the other characters. And he treated his employees really nice.

 

Okay, you're right about all that. Steve (George Raft) proves to be a good guy.

 

I can't believe you didn't like her character. You're crazy.

 

You're crazy!

 

It's like Pushover was Kim's "audition" for Hitch and his casting her in Vertigo

(after Vera Miles---81 years old today!---was unable to do it)

 

Happy B-Day, Vera! I like that gal. Kim does everything while doing nothing. She's a honey.

 

Is that you on the phone with her? Are you telling Kim to stay away from Molo?

 

It looks like my Borders finally got the Kim Novak Collection. Now all I need is a "40% off" coupon.

[MissGoddess]

She's on the phone with you! She can't seem to shake you, Scottie!

 

I'm glad your Borders got the Kim set. I was really surprised when

they came out with it. I never expected to see the day she got

her own boxset of DVDs.

I'm surprised she got a box, too. But I'm glad she did. I'm very much in a Kim mood. I want to watch Picnic.

 

She's on the phone with you! She can't seem to shake you, Scottie!

 

She is? She must have been talking to Molo here:

I've never gotten into Picnic. I thought you'd seen it before?

Or Movieman.

[OllieTSB]

Oops! That's Merle! I've had way too much OPERATION PETTICOAT on my mind. "How did SHE end up on a pink sub?!! I tell ya, he lets Tony Curtis hit the beach, and then there's a pig in the shower, and Merle's in someone's stateroom. I tell ya, Officers Country gets all the breaks."

[FrankGrimes]

I've never gotten into Picnic. I thought you'd seen it before?

 

No. It's the "Kim" film I wish to see most.

 

She is? She must have been talking to Molo here:

 

Or Movieman.

 

So Movieman let her know he's already taken. Always the heartbreaker.

Rosalind Russell annoys me in it. I'm not crazy about Bill Holden

in his part either. He seems too old.

Oh yeah! Spent my whole life breaking the hearts of the women lined up outside my door. (Better to disappoint them on the front end than find out after it was too late that they were at the wrong door.)

Hey Frank,

 

*That'll put me six feet deep! Don't give anyone any ideas!*

 

From what I've seen around here. I don't have to!

 

*No, I was recording it. I'm merely being a completist with Joan. I'm stupid.*

 

I do that with a lot of actors. You will watch it...one day.

 

*Yes! Explore Joan's darker films!*

 

I will. I know I have seen her in noir but my mind is failing. It will all be new. I remember her from *Dark Shadows* though. I did buy *Scarlet Street* and I have a few others, so I will get to them soon. I'm serious.

[molo14]

*Some pal YOU are, throwing Grimesy under the bus.*

 

Hey! It's a tough neighborhood!

 

Nah, Just kidding.

 

I'm loyal as a puppy! Really!

PICNIC is my least favorite Russell and Holden film. I squirm in my seat when I see them here.

 

 

I feel sorry for Howard. On the other hand, he's getting what's coming to him, ha!

 

[Bronxgirl48]

BIRTHDAY "WITCHES", FRANK! Have some shoo-fly "pye" for me!

 

[CineMaven]

Grimesy - "Thank you. But I'll take your writing over mine, every single time. You write with passion, and that's my favorite read.?

 

Thank you...again.

 

I?m a Kim Novak fan and I?m glad to see she?s being recognized and that she sees she is being appreciated. Filmlover?s account, and the YouTube clips of her at the Egyptian (I think that?s the theatre) really brought that home to me. So often the posthumous thing is too late for the perfor-

mer. Now of course MARILYN is the girl of the 1950?s, but she?s oft times soooo fragile. Kim seems more approachable, down-to-earth...earthy. ?PUSHOVER? is a wonderful twisty-turney

tale.

 

Miss Goddess - ?It's like ?Pushover? was Kim's ?audition? for Hitch and his casting her in ?Vertigo? (after Vera Miles---81 years old today!---was unable to do it)?

 

I agree about that, Miss G. Vera's 81? WoW!! She really doesn?t do interviews anymore, right? Folks would love to hear her talk about "Psycho." Have you ever seen her in this ?Outer Limits? episode?

 

 

I recommend it.

 

Ollie - ?Oops! That's Merle! I've had way too much ?OPERATION PETTICOAT? on my mind. ?How did SHE end up on a pink sub?!!? ?

 

You're getting your wine cooler spritzes mixed up. Funny, ?The Cowboy and the Lady? is the first movie I?ve ever seen Merle Oberon in. I saw her and Robert Wolders at a New York movie pre-

miere in the late 60?s. I can?t recall the film, but I do have a photograph of her somewhere buried deeply in my room.

 

Molo - ?I'm loyal as a puppy! Really!? :-)

 

I know you are, Madhat.

Thanks for the congrats on my 4K, Grey Guy... So your'e "stunned" ha. (and I didn't even have go buy a special gun for that!!) Ha!!! I WOULD give you grief for making that wisecrack about me having a big mouth.... but sadly there is WAY too much evidence against me!!!

[rohanaka]

We have missed you SO much round these parts

 

Thanks, young'un. And right back at ya, little lady.. I have missed hanging out w/ you folks here lately.. I feel like I have been burning the candle at both ends lately..

 

Me and Gene and Veronica. HA! That's a good one

 

Just callin' em like I see 'em, kiddo. (hey.. at least YOU can be in the same category w/ those gals.. ha. I am more in the "Jane Darwell" league!

[rohanaka]

 

Happy Birthday Frank Grimes!!!! ( A sawdust and saur kraut cake has been baked in your honor)

[CineMaven]

Well...well...well. Seems like we have TWO special occasions around here to CELEBRATE!!!!

 

* Congratulations Rohanaka on four thousand posts. Why it seems like ONLY yesterday...: http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?messageID=8101347

I know life is keeping you busy...but somebody's gotta keep "you know who" in line.

* Congratulations --you know who-- Frank Grimes on your birthday. That makes you a Virgo.

I hear Virgoes have good taste in wine, women and song. This must mean you must be drunk to

go to a musical with a woman. Or does that mean you must get a woman drunk to get her to listen

to you sing? Or is it women singing make you drink? Ahhh. No matter. It all ends in song as long as the woman is not Elizabeth Taylor. Sincerely, many happy returns of the day to you, "Grimesy, me boy."

 

Glad you're both still hanging around these crazy Boards. :x

[movieman1957]

Happy Birthday Sir Francis!! I hope you have a grand day and enjoy a movie. Too bad we're not all together for cake. It is surely my loss.

Thank you, everyone! Grace, Gloria, Gene, Missy, and Kim! Those are actually five of my very favorite seven actresses. Fantastic! Love the creativity with each birthday wish. Wonderful.

 

This Virgo loved this, Lively Gal:

Let's see, I don't drink, I have zero women, and I like 80s pop and rap. There goes the theory of Virgos and good taste!

 

Give me a cherry coke and my favorite songs...

And I do love what you posted earlier this year (perfect song):

 

 

[JackFavell]

I hate to say this, but your taste in rap is really quite good.

I never thought I'd read such words on this board.
