Wanted to repsond about A Royal Affair--I really liked it, too! I also watched it on Netflix streaming--I saw that Swedish actress Alicia Vikander was in it, and since I enjoyed her performance greatly as Kitty in Anna Karenina, I watched it with interest. Very well done historical drama concerning ...

Sadly, I missed this one. The pictures are gorgeous. Hopefully, it will be shown again sometime.

Catching up on threads today, so forgive the lateness of these responses... Masha, what did you think of Grey Gardens? I am kicking myself for forgetting to record it. I saw it once, about 5 years ago, and would like to revisit it, now that I've seen the Drew Barrymore biopic of Little Edie. Ann--I ...

I'm a bit late to this party, but WELCOME!

Wendy, after seeing the 1964 version, I'm tempted to read the book...

What do you think of the various Philips? I thought that Laurence Harvey was the only one of the three that looked the right age, but he didn't have the sensitivity that Henreid and Howard both had.

I recorded the 1964 version of Of Human Bondage starring Kim Novak as Mildred and Laurence Harvey as Philip Carey back in October. I finally watched it a few days ago. I've been thinking about it ever since. What I have to say may be shocking, but... Kim Novak's performance as Mildred is superior to...

Wendy, we can have a party and spin platters. You have excellent taste in music.

Honestly, the studio era constantly remade earlier films. Stella Dallas was first filmed in 1925, then again in 1937. Ben-Hur, silent version, Charlton Heston version. The Maltese Falcon was made 3 times. Those are only 3 examples out of many.

Thank you, Erik, for your kind words.

Dementia is a horrible, terrible disease. It's so difficult to watch the person that you love disappear, yet they are still here in body. I am so sorry that you went through it with your mother, and now with your father. Keep your chin up.

Chris, I thought that both Paul and Ringo gave great performances. I was so struck by the joyfulness they both seemed to possess the entire evening, whether watching or performing themselves.

You are most welcome, Erik. My mother suffers from dementia, and I always feel such compassion for Rita Hayworth and her family.

Curtis Mayfield, YES.

Fossy--where did you see Lady in the Dark? I've always wanted to see it. I don't think it's ever been shown on TCM.

Hey Chris--I know you thought Annie Lennox's vocal was too strong for your taste on Fool on the Hill, but what did you think of the rest of the concert? I really enjoyed the whole thing, except for Katy Perry's rendition of Yesterday. I do like Katy Perry, but the song didn't seem to be a good fit f...

Regarding Rita Hayworth--I thought that people attributed her behavior to alcoholism but it was actually the beginnings of Alzheimer's disease, not a drinking problem at all.

Also, everyone has tragedies, most of us are just lucky that they aren't played out in public.
