Cyd Charisse's legs in Singin' in the Rain look about a mile long. Of course, Betty Grable had gorgeous gams. Judy's legs were one of her best features. For someone who was only 4'11'', her legs look long and lovely. Doris Day had beautiful legs--check them out in Love Me or Leave Me , in the Shakin...

I would choose White Christmas . It's a great holiday film, and Bing gets to sing Count Your Blessings, and be hep, too, in the dialogue and numbers like Snow. His duet with Danny Kaye on Sisters is funny and endearing, too. Second choice would be High Society . Bing and Louis Armstrong, plus Frank ...

Mmmmm...John Raitt! What a man! What a voice! I love The Pajama Game . I love the score (especially Hernando's Hideaway, I'm Not at All in Love, Hey There), I love Fosse's choreography (so playful), and I love all the performances. Having all of the original Broadway cast (with the exception of Jani...

Hey, Shonna, I was in a production of West Side Story, too, back in my dancing days. I played Graziella--Action's girl in the stage version. For some reason in the film version, they switched the names of the 2 girls, Velma and Graziella, and Graziella became Riff's girl... Anyway, I found that bein...

Marco, first you see Grey Gardens and then you tell us that you saw 110 in the Shade with John Cullum and the lovely Audra McDonald!!!! I am a huge fan of both of these Broadway stars. I have one of Audra McDonald's cd's--I love her voice. A friend of mine went to New York last week and brought me b...

It's not necessarily the choice of fare that I was approving, but the idea of trying to reach out to an audience looking for something other than the usual "male 18-34" emphasis we get on network TV. I thought the idea of this programming was family movie night, not kids' movie night. If ...

Hi Carol! Glad you made it here!

Thanks, Chris! Those all sound like good films! I don't have an aversion to watching some of Wayne's Westerns--I would like to know which ones people find worthy of recommendation. I don't know why I've never seen The Quiet Man . I do like Maureen O'Hara. I heard that the dvd wasn't good quality, so...

ok, my post showed up mainly in bold! I was trying to only put film titles in bold...I'm too lazy to re-type it.

Tonight starts TCM's Star of the Month salute to John Wayne. I must confess that I have only watched ONE John Wayne film from start to finish-- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance . And that was because Jimmy Stewart was in it. I plan on recording Stagecoach and They Were Expendable while I'm at rehear...

Thanks, Jon! I got your e-mail and made it here with no problems!

Thanks for all your stellar work on the site!

Christy, what a wonderful story! Thanks for posting that. I've never seen the film Shenandoah . A friend of mine was in a stage production of it years ago and I did enjoy the musical. I don't remember a connection to the Masons in it...or were you making a reference to the Union soldier? Either way,...

Ooooh, I'm so jealous that you got to see Grey Gardens, Marco!!! And especially with the divine Christine Ebersole. Thanks for the review.

I guess I am in the minority as I love Shearer in The Women . I think that she is one of the few actresses that could play the long-suffering wife role with wit and humor, while also showing us how deeply hurt and betrayed she feels. Maybe the only other actress that could pull it off would be Irene...

I have two relatively recent favorites that I like to watch on my own, without having to explain or apologize to anyone: Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion Connie and Carla Both are female buddy movies; both are charming and unpretentious; and both are funny, undemanding, and entertaining. Jud...
