Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
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!

Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
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.

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
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!

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
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 ...

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Ah yes, Toll of the Sea is fascinating as are all those early color films whether or not they are very good. And did Anna May Wong appear in any other color films? Have you seen The Viking, a 1928 2-strip film directed by Roy William Neill with Donald Crisp as Leif Ericson and Pauline Starke proving...

Re: Noir Films
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.

Re: WHAT SILENTS & PRE-CODES HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
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.

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...
