Hey guys, don't miss THE CATERED AFFAIR.
Kitchen-sink drama in the tradition of MARTY. (in an interesting casting decision, Ernest Borgnine plays the father but I am happy to opine, none too shabbily)
Bette Davis and Debbie Reynolds are wonderful.
Early Rod Taylor, bespeckled and nerdy, is particularly sexy.

Its a very likable film, and one of Debbie Reynolds' finest hours. It was also Bette's first MGM film. They turned the story into a Broadway musical in 2008.

Yes, I watched it again. A favorite of mine.
The fish dinner always looks good to me. I like the way Aggie piles on those mashed potatoes.
Betcha didn't know that this is a pic of a 13 y/o Burt Lancaster, and just before he got braces and joined his junior high school's wrestling team and started bulking up.
My Baby Boomer memory is trying to remember the second Ernie and Bette pairing.....is it BUNNY O'HARE? Seem to vaguely recall Davis, Borgnine (or both?) on a motorcycle but maybe I'm confusing it with HAROLD AND MAUDE.

See the resemblance?
(...naaah, jus' kiddin')
LOL
I almost believed you!
What funny is that I've just noticed that James pretty much said the same thing two minutes before I did yesterday.
Guess he saw the rememblance as well.
(...who knows?...maybe that WAS a very young Burt Lancaster after all?!)

It is, and the poster does feature Bette and Ernest on a motorcycle, so that probably did indeed happen in the film. It's one of the very few films of hers that I have not seen. (Bette is the star I have seen the most films of, somewhere around 75 films)
