LornaHansonForbes Posted May 31, 2018 Tonight at 8:00 as part of Marlene Dietrich's SOTM, 1958's TOUCH OF EVIL, in which she appears for maybe 5 minutes (?) and damn-near steals the picture. If you pulled a gun on me and said "NAME THE GREATEST FILM NOIR EVER MADE IN THE NEXT THREE SECONDS OR DIE!," I'd surely blurt out TOUCH OF EVIL, although I'd later wonder if I was being unfair to OUT OF THE PAST, THE MALTESE FALCON, DOUBLE INDEMNITY and ACE IN THE HOLE.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to seeing it again and in the version Welles wanted before Universal recut the film. Dietrich makes the most of her 5 minute role! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DO! i want them to fear me, to whisper my name. I want them to know my wrath will follow them to the ends of the earth. Their every move, their every judgment is to be second-guessed with "but what will Lorna say?!" "what will Lorna do?" "OH FOR THE DAYS WHEN WE DID NOT LIVE TO PLEASE THAT OMNIPOTENT HARRIDAN, THAT RELENTLESS HORROR HAG! NEPENTHE! NEPENTHE!" But there is to be no release. ALL WILL WORSHIP AND FEAR ME: ALL WILL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR! now- is there any way you guys can get the rights to BEYOND THE FOREST? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingrat Posted June 1, 2018 I'm delighted that Three Strangers will lead off the evening lineup for Saturday, because this film deserves to be better known. The superstitious Geraldine Fitzgerald wants two strangers to share her lottery ticket, and they just happen to be Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. What could possibly go wrong? All of Jean Negulesco's black & white films are worth seeing. Script by John Huston. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted June 2, 2018 Sunday, June 3 10 a.m. The Letter (1940). An odd time for this Bette Davis classic unless you record it to view later. Herbert Marshall and James Stephenson are very good as well. Will it have the Eddie Muller introduction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen it many times and I'm looking forward to Eddie's comments (as always). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As tonight's sommelier on TCM Wine Club I offer the special wine for The Letter: "A very dry blood-colored red with overtones of rubber, incense, and gunpowder." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They definitely made Bergman look a lot more disfigured in the Swedish version than Joan did in the American version! Joan is scarred, but still somehow maintains some glamour.

I thought Joan was pretty during her early MGM years (post skinny eyebrows) and the Warner Brother years. Once she started having the huge eyebrows and mouth and the blonde hair, she looked like a Joan Crawford caricature. I thought she actually looked pretty good in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? only because her "Joan Crawford" costume was absent. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
