Indeed I do!

Aquanetta in Take the High Ground? I went to see this one because of Elaine Stewart, but didn't know about Aquanetta back then. Poor me! Now I must see this one again!

That's a tough one, Theresa. I have tons of Woolrich books which are at your service. Am I sick or something for liking him so much? I've read all his novels, including the pre-pulp ones and a LOT of his short stories.

Theresa, which Woolrich are you interested in?

I hope I haven't given the impression that I don't like The Letter, but I must say that reading what you two dear friends had to say about has shown new light on it for me, and my next viewing will surely be the best so far! Many thanks!

Wendy, let me add my voice to the well-deserved praise for your thoughts on The Letter. I have liked this film, but my feelings for it have fallen somewhat short of yours and Theresa's. However, let me say right now that I will be seeing it again at the earliest opportunity. Any film that speaks so ...

One of the "tragedies" was that so many of the great heavies of the fifties became leading men! I'm thinking of Raymond Burr, Lee Marvin, James Coburn, et al.

You're welcome, fealto. Let me know what you think when you get to see it. The other Treasures sets are also worth looking into, although I can live without those devoted to "avant garde".

By the way, make that Treasures 5, not 4.

Fealto, Womanhandled is part of a three disc set put out by the National Film Preservation Foundation called Treasure 4 The West 1898-1938. Amazon has it new at $32 (marked down from $60) and used at $24. All of NFPF's collections are filled with otherwise scarce items. This one also includes Mantra...

Good Point, Wendy. Take care of your poor head.
