And of course it goes without saying that Rita Hayworth would have been Venus choice numero uno, but she already played an ancient fantasy figure in 1947's DOWN TO EARTH.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Ya know what else was unfortunate about this movie, Bronxie? That Eve Arden's real life squeeze during the time this movie was being filmed didn't play the lead in it instead of Robert Walker. I'm talkin' Danny Kaye here, of course. Yep, as I watched this so-so little comedy tonight, I started thin...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
When needing a quick dessert I sometimes mix chocolate chip morsels into my Philadelphia cream cheese and then just gobble it up on a plate. A bagel isn't even necessary! ONE TOUCH OF VENUS just concluded, and I remembered almost every line of dialogue. I've always however thought how unfortunate t...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
So Andree, considering that I respect your opinion about things (and not to mention usually find myself agreeing with 'em), what did you think of my thought that Danny Kaye might've enlivened the proceedings in that Venus flick, and so making it just a wee bit better and more entertaining than it w...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
...ONE TOUCH OF VENUS just concluded, and I remembered almost every line of dialogue. I've always however thought how unfortunate this movie was not given a lush MGM color treatment but instead is low budget black-and-white, making the whole production look a bit drab overall. Eve Arden still steal...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I haven't finished my chocolate Easter eggs and still haven't stared nibbling on my chocolate Easter bunny. Will power. (in the vernacular of Nat from THE LOST WEEKEND): Did you polish all of them off by now? Oh yes, they're now just a sweet delicious memory. We have a bagel place here that sells c...

Re: Coming up on TCM...
"Robert was a very serious guy" Translation: "Robert was essentially a fuddy-duddy from another generation so we brought you in to appeal to a younger audience. We also became woke for the same reason" Ironic, because the channel seems more "square" than ever before tha...
