Oh man, great photo of Henry Hull.

Love the Groucho picture. Bet they were talking politics.

Hahahahaha! red that was hilarious... Last time I saw it on the big screen, I had just read the book. It was the year before it was supposed to show on TV for the first time. I was 15 years old. I am so angry that my movie theater that usually shows the TCM films is being renovated right now! Big di...

Wow. You made me cry, T.

I could have sworn that was Sean Connery.



Congrats on the new thread Joe! I'm so glad to see the thread continue here.

I think perhaps you may have mistaken my opinion for CineMaven's, Moira, though I could be wrong. I'll let her speak for herself. However, I will say that Maven has always seemed shocked at my dislike, and has tried to convince me to delve into Douglas' work more thoughtfully so I might perhaps get ...

I'm with Masha...we are so concerned for you guys and hope that everyone at TCM comes through this corporate cutback.

That's OK. I just wondered because I love it so much. Thanks again, Alexa!

Thanks, Alexa!

Oh man, I would have LOVED to go out with those three actresses! You could probably have learned more about acting hanging out in a bar with those three than by taking all the acting lessons in the world.

The occasional nobility of the lowest of the low. Wellman is ...

You get me so well.

Those are all great reasons to admire this movie, Joel, and it deals with themes I am strongly drawn to. I think you've brilliantly captured it here. I just can't get into the film. I've tried and I'll continue to try again for those same reasons you cite. I do believe the lack is in me, not in the ...

That made me to see True West more than LAtB! What a terrific scene!

Chris, I think my attention span is sorely lacking as far as this movie is concerned. Yes, I found it dull.

Yes, Madame X pretty much right down the line. In spite of the overused plot, it's one of my favorite Ruth Chatterton movies. She's terrific in it. It doesn't hurt that it's a William Wellman film, so no punches are pulled. Nice earthquake sequence too. I have turned into a big Wellman fan, especial...

As much as I like Gena Rowlands and the horse, I've never been able to get through to the end of Lonely Are the Brave. Sorry.
