Well, of course, I have to comment. Susan Lenox is one of my favorites, as well. I love the time scene changes, after Gable leaves her, showing her rise to the affluent postion of mistress of a millionaire. I think her performance is a little stilted, as you said, but appropriate for the character. ...

Well, I hate to sound prejudice, but both Davis and Hepburn were in awe of Garbo. They have both been quoted as saying they were mesmerized by her presence and ability on the screen. So, if either of them had great influence, I must add ONE of the sources of that influence, GG. You have to remember ...

That's right! I remember the first time I saw Judy's legs, and said, "Wow!" She was really a beautiful woman, and few ever thought of her that way. She was a voice, an addition, a commodity, not a beauty. But, I have always thought she was. Just put her next to Mrs. Housewife in Anycity, and you'll ...

Oh, Jack! What a wonderful surprise! And, what a dashing Avatar. Fellini? Well, of course you hit the nail right on the head. If you haven't seen the Frankenstein trilogy: Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein, you won't get all the jokes! And, Cloris, Madeline and Terri are a...

Never did care for The Gang's All Here ! There was something hollow in that film. I don' know if it was the photography, sound, or what? Of course, the Banana number with Carmen was FABULOUS! But, that was about it for me. I have always liked Alice. Betty never replaced Alice, she was just "in addit...

Well, I have to go with Twentieth Century ! Lombard and Barrymore were an unbeatable team! For screwball, it gets my vote. One other comedy I think may fall under the category of screwball is Hollywood Hotel , with Dick Powell and two of the Lane sisters, Rosemary and Lola. Crazy about that Hollywoo...

Oh, thank you. As I have said to many others through PM's, I just wasn't feeling the vibe over on TCM anymore and hardly participated after my return. I just don't have much patience with "absolute" individuals. We are all just supposed to be having fun expressing our opinions in the most amicable w...

MGM Greatest Moments
Years ago I purchased a VHS called MGM Greatest Moments which included many of the musicals, dramas, and comedies. But one section was devoted to MGM's love of classic literature such as David Copperfield, The Pride and the Prejudice, Goodbye Mr. Chips, A Tale of Two Cities, Little Women, The Good E...

Well, I have to go for the glam! Yvonne's got nothing on Ava. If I were gonna go through all that the guys in both films went through, I would do it for Ava. Cold and aloof, she would have had me around her little finger just like Burt. Yvonne was great, but I could have left her and moved on. I alw...
