Re: I Just Watched...

I saw The Children's Hour for the first time. I had seen the clips that are featured on the documentary The Celluloid Closet but had never seen the entire movie until yesterday. Adapted from Lillian Hellman's play of the same name and directed by William Wyler, the movie tells the story of two femal...

Re: Prepare your pot

So was it ever explained how she cloned herself? :shock: :o :D :smiley_chinrub: I think it was just part of the magic. :) The magic wand that the lilac fairy gave her could do all sorts of things! She uses it to get the dress the color of the sun out of the trunk and then - bling! - a royal double ...

Re: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

As I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting here Bagel, could you elaborate upon this here? Sounds like an intriguing thought. Would you be suggesting the idea that Raymond Burr's character hadn't actually murdered his wife in it, or something other than this? The first time I saw Rear Window I ha...

Re: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

Rear Window is a good movie, but I admit that the ending was disappointing to me: I was expecting a twist. Maybe the twist was that there was no twist. As I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting here Bagel, could you elaborate upon this here? Sounds like an intriguing thought. Would you be sugges...

Re: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

It's a gem of a film, IMO, made on a very modest budget. 63 years old and it retains much the same shock value today for the first-time viewer. The acting performance of Anthony Perkins was one for the ages and I loved the way Hitchcock manipulated the audience at every turn; first sympathy for Mar...

Re: SPOILERS!

I feel guilty waltzing into this thread at this point, but I guess the answer may be A Millionaire for Christy. Yes! The movie is A Millionaire For Christy starring Eleanor Parker as Christy and Fred MacMurray as the millionaire. I love this movie! The exterior of the scene excerpted in the clip be...

Re: I Just Watched...

COMING HOME (1978) was on TCM last night. I hadn't looked at it since it was new (saw it on cable TV over 40 years ago)! I had forgotten about the stir the lovemaking scene had initiated. It is still impressive and I give JANE FONDA a lot of credit, because it was a bold scene, even now! JON VOIGHT...

Re: SPOILERS!

Well it's not on Wikipedia's list of screwball comedies, so it doesn't seem to be a very good one. Nothing about the plot seems to be particularly striking. Who was involved with the movie. I haven't really posted much about the plot, except for the ending. Also, I don't see a Wikpedia article that...

No, that's not the movie.

Another hint: The inheritance was in Argentine pesos.

Re: Name Five Films Worthy of Rediscovery

Lilith (1964) [Columbia] This is one of those films that was done before the New Hollywood fully arrived, but with a cast led by Warren Beatty, Jean Seburg, and Henry Fonda, this feels like it halfway belongs there. Its a moody tale with Beatty playing a young doctor at a mental hospital who is lur...

Re: I Just Watched...

One of the funniest things about Mary's character was she was a person who tried to avoid embarrassing situations but due to either circumstance or her looney friends, she would end up in them. You're right! I never thought about that angle before! It certainly describes my favorite of Mary's "...

Re: SPOILERS!

Is there anything noteworthy about this film? Or is just a feature from the first three decades of sound film that has been otherwise forgotten? I wouldn't say the movie is forgotten. There are 200 views of it currently reported on Letterboxd. Some modern online reviewers have called it a hidden ge...
