Edythevanhopper Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 This film is from the '40s, a B/W noir with lots of style involving a twist to the plot framing the star of murder . It was the one of 4 films "she" and the director worked on. Name the film, actress and director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hint: the star finds herself at the scene of the murder with no memory of circumstances ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 *Blue Gardenia ? sorry about the black print, I would have thought it would be a Joan Bennett and Fritz Lang film, they did 4 films together(your clue) but I don't know what film she was framed in. I'll guess this one, don't know if Anne Baxter and Fritz made 4 films together* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Not the film or star and director. Their first was 5 yrs before this. That film was also b/w noir, my personal favorite.?? Their last was a b/w 60s drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Gene Tierney and Otto Preminger. *Whirlpool* ? Haven't seen this one in years. I understand it will be shown on Fox tomorrow morning. I guess *Laura* must be your favorite. Interesting that you thought of that one, I cancelled Fox movie channel a year ago, I was thinking of ordering it just for tomorrow so I could tape *Whirlpool* !

Edythevanhopper Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Ta dah! She's a klepto. Shocking subject for her. She applies her cool sophistication with a real twist in Whirlpool. I hope you get to watch it. Thanks, lav. Your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I thought of calling Comcast a few days ago to get Fox again, thanks for reminding me Last time I watched *Whirlpool* was probably 5 years or so. next: A man desperate for money comes up with an extreme plan to end his financial woes.

lavenderblue19 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Surprise! *Monsieur Verdoux* is correct. Watch it the next time it's on. Such a good Chaplin film.I *A New Leaf* will be shown @ 8 pm Friday night. I answered you on that thread, it's a hoot and I hope you watch it. I think it's a film you especially will enjoy. It's very funny. At any rate, this thread is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 The three main male characters are a father, his son, and his grandson. The son is the grandson's uncle. The son's brother (deceased) was the grandson's father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
