JackFavell Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 It isn't a great film, and that section with the music and the bicycle is very weak. It is of it's time. But Redford is quite good as a westerner. He is kind of endearing, unable to communicate his feelings and frustrated much of the time. He's actually pretty funny. He's a bit like Paul from Barefoot in the Park but out west and dangerous. He's just so dang gorgeous with that moustache and loose wind blown hair. I actually don't like the movie that much, though parts of it, like the ending, are very good. It's a little on the light side for me, and it's too scattered. Apparently, he did two episodes of Hitchcock Presents, but I can't find them to post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, well, maybe I'll see it one of these days, ha! I prefer Robert more modern and buttoned-downed (Paul) because then I can fantasize about loosening him up! Oh, one of those Hitchcock shows has him as "David Chesterman". Isn't that the perfect stage-Waspy Redford name? The episode is titled "A Tangled Web" and Cathleen Cordell is in the cast. She played maid Nancy in the Walbrook GASLIGHT. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Jul 10, 2010 8:37 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 > > I can't wait for my first viewing of SARGEANT RUTLEDGE! It's not a perfect film, but it has some outstanding moments and Woody is magnificent. The best scenes are between him and Constance Towers in the train station (very expressionistic and charged with the kind of awkward sexual fears that are the basis of the accusations against the Sergeant); and Woody's emotional scene in court. The riverside scenes are beautiful, too. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Absolutely agree with everything you've said, Goddess. I'll pop into Western Rambles later on this evening and expand on a few thoughts. I realize there is no further indignity that can be heaped upon poor Lucy, but she also had the misfortune to look like Pippi Longstocking.

CineMaven Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Awmigawd! You got a howl outta me with that one. I thought she looked like the girl who had played Annie Oakley on tv, when I was little. Ponytails...that's the cinema's shortcut connota- tion for virginal innocence. Look forward to your thoughts on Sergeant Rutledge." Flawed film? Yeah...okay. But even John Ford's flaws would be a lesser director's masterpiece. You can try to connect the dots and get chicken pox. Me? I prefer to look at this glass as half-full; the half that was full of Woody Strode. How did his wound mysteriously heal? Who cares!!! When Woody took his shirt off, I was done for...a goner!! :x --Mrs. Woody Strode-- :x Uhmmmm, I mean, CineMaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieTSB Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Actually, this SGT RUT FLAWED conversation makes me want to thank those directors for sending me lesser films occasionally. I've enjoyed finding a filmmaker's "worst" effort (like Laughton's JAMAICA INN) as if I find comfort in exhaling, "So - hat's the bottom of their barrel!" and I don't have to keep searching. Glenn Ford's incredibly lame performance in TIMEBOMB ("Terror On A Train") in those scenes with his screen-wife, yet he's the same old dependable Glenn in any other scene. And Hitch's less palatable work - like FRENZY, which I can watch only occasionally - it's just too distasteful. His early works are less tolerable to me, but I'll rewatch those (and not FRENZY) because I can claim to see some professional growth. Yet his phony-effects (especially backdrops for car-scenes) never changed. And all of those are so noticeable to me, yet never once contribute to my valuation of the film itself. I have no idea why. "Good is good and let's not sweat the little stuff..." seems to be an attitude I've taken into Hitchcock films with me. But I've enjoyed 'finding' the lesser works - they're almost a relief.

Interesting that there is another Lucy who meets with a similiar unfortunate fate, in THE SEARCHERS.

MissGoddess Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't appreciate profanity or the imputation of it in this thread. It hardly constitutes "mature debate" and as the originator of this thread I'll state respectfully I don't want the negativity dominating the forum to spread into this thread. Please edit your comments out of consideration to all. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieTSB Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I still think the solution to TCM Threads is to let the Thread's originator edit threads, ban users from their threads, etc. Now, back to my renaming certain films. I've got a whole new genre working. The Nick & Nora Genre. Thanks, MissG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 What's good about using asterisks for dirty words is it increases the possibilities. I'm still trying to figure out ***** ***. I've got a few candidates and they're probably funnier than what the actual dirty words would be. My theory is that Sir Alfred's mum probably dressed him up in those Victorian "dresses" that young boys sometimes wore and it screwed up his whole sexual makeup. Alma wore the pants because, early on, he didn't Requisite Hitchcock moment: I always get a laugh out of that scene from Shadow of a Doubt just after Uncle Charlie gets off the train. The whole family gets stuck carrying his luggage while he slowly saunters in back of them, slowly falling behind to enjoy a cigar. He's not just a serial killer, but a darned lazy bones.
