I believe part of that was her hidden love for Perry. She drops a few hints, but he doesn't, for the most part, take the bait. It was a pretty exciting life for a legal secretary, however unrealistic, and it seems she got a good paycheck. And reference is frequently made to Paul being quite the man...

And starring MISS SHELLEY WINTERS as Dixie Evans! Who came up with THAT billing? I was so unimpressed with the film, I forgot to check this thread! PU!!! It was static and as hammy as I (vaguely) remembered it! Hard to say who was the hammiest, Steiger or Palance. (At least Steiger wasn't in the wh...

LOL. Della went far and beyond what a legal secretary would do. Seems she was available 24 hrs a day. She even put up some of Perry's client at her apt.!!!. She had no life beyond her job it seems (at least in tvland). Paul I could see. He was a private eye. I believe part of that was her hidden lo...

The Five Nominees for Costume Design in 1982 were: Gandhi*** La Traviata Sophie's Choice Tron Victor/Victoria Now, I think we can easily say that Gandhi won because it was in a big Oscar sweep, because most of the costumes in that film aren't the most memorable. Evil Under the Sun did come close to...

I dunno, does MERYL STREEP rock a WONDERBREAD-INSPIRED SWIMSUIT in SOPHIE'S CHOICE? Are there MARVELOUS ENORMOUS HATS??? I have not seen it, but I feel like the answer is "no." Honestly, I LOVE VICTOR/VICTORIA, but I think EVIL UNDER THE SUN has better costumes. We're simpatico on GANDHI ...

I liked the GERALDINE McEWAN MARPLE series, even though there were a couple where they shoehorned her into stories where she didn't beliong (like ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE.) The version they did of THE MOVING FINGER was OUTSTANDING. I didn't like JULIA MACKENZIE though. Yeah, they showed one of them Sat....

One of the very few times where you, me and REX REED all agree.

LOL!!!! How often does THAT happen???

They've started showing Miss Marple ones before Poirot now. I've seen many of those (with McEwen and Julia MacKenzie at least), but it's been awhile so I don't remember them well). I've never seen the original (her name escapes me) which is considered the best one. So unlike Margaret Rutherford's lo...

I think I also looked for the soundtrack to EVIL UNDER THE SUN back in the 1980's- now that I know COLE PORTER'S work better, I MARVEL at what a MASTERWORK the score is, not only is it wonderfully composed and orchestrated seguing from one song into another like a long suite, it even cleverly inser...

Love the costumes in that film [EVIL UNDER THE SUN]! (Were they Oscar nominated?) This is one of the few Christie plots where I figured out whodunit before the end! 1. NO! Which is a terrible shame, I know we've talked about it before- I don't recall the nominees, but I recall there being one or tw...

I'm a big fan of EVIL UNDER THE SUN , which also features Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot. not as big a fan as me. https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.yahbysLinnbDC3iz5oKvrQHaEK?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain MY FRIEND also gifted me a DVD of EVIL UNDER THE SUN and I have watched it SO MANY TIMES in the week th...
