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 ...

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...

One other note about Evil Under the Sun. Sylvia Miles later said that filming it was the most fun she ever had in her life.

Who could forget Gandhi??? Love those loincloths! Undeserved win, even nomination! One of the very few times where you, me and REX REED all agree. You know, I actually was tempted in writing all this up to mention that Rex Reed famously complained about the Costume win by Gandhi, but I didn't. I ha...

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 l...

Haneke's films are some of the most merciless in the world. His films have featured such subjects as torture, rape, murder, euthanasia. His films have no levity, no warmth, no relief from the dour qualities. Which makes him highly esteemed in current art-house circles, which seemingly thrive on the ...

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...

Dipped into the 2000s today with a watch of 2003's Open Range, a Western with Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner (who also directed), Annette Bening, and Michael Gambon. This is definitely Duvall's film and it is a very fine modern take on a Western, although it is a big shock when the big showdown comes ...

I own a copy of TOOTSIE, but I couldn't resist watching a few favorite moments when I saw it was available on Watch TCM. I never tire of this one! I've never been one to comment on who *should* have won an Oscar (these awards are based on votes from Academy members so whoever received the most vote...

Jim Brown (The Dirty Dozen, Kenner, Tick Tick Boom, Ice Station Zebra, The Split, Mars Attacks) And I just thought too of Alex Karras (Paper Lion, Blazing Saddles, Victor/Victoria, Against All Odds)

Next: Appeared in a musical despite not being known as a singer.
