Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Yes Theresa I could watch The Women more than once, I'm sure it's one of those films that can be watched numerous times with more nuances caught time and again. I'm still in a haze of State Fair Wendy. I'd only heard one song from State Fair, Spring Fever before but have found myself humming 'Our St...

Re: What are you reading?
That's what I feel like, having only 2 kids causes chaos in our house, I can't imagine anymore without breaking out in a cold sweat.

Re: What are you reading?
I'm amazed by the story of Dana Andrews early years, I know we went into it in detail when we had the guest author but reading it over again. A hundred years ago but another lifetime, his poor mother was a continual baby machine, as many were, one baby after another, so far she's been childbearing f...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I've only seen The Women the once, I'm Norma's girl through and through, she might be a bit too perfect in character but I prefer the way she plays her part rather than Joan and Roz who I find a bit overblown, in life wouldn't the lines be blurred more? Wouldn't Roz be more subtle, Joanie too? I fin...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Maven, I believe that saleswoman was Aileen Pringle, but I'm not sure, there are so many salesladies in this movie! Alison, thanks for figuring out which movie was the one with Ida - I should have remembered it was the one with George Sanders. I just have trouble with those titles! I like both Boom...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
The kids are back at school, back to movie viewing. Yesterday it was Boomerang , a Kazan directed court room drama starring Dana Andrews as a state attorney who doubts the guilt of the man he is to prosecute. It's based on a true life case of a priest who was gunned down on the street in front of ma...

Re: History Is Made At Night (1937)
I do remember the first time I watched it, when they were sat waiting to drown I did think it was getting far into the realms of being far fetched but Borzage's best films have always been in the realm of fantasy, you've just got to go along for the ride with this one and for us females wish we were...

You won't be dissappointed Fernando, he has an interesting childhood, it's a story in itself even before he got to Hollywood.

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
No, no Ida Lupino in this one although I share your confusion, I'm hoping to watch a few more of Dana's films as I read his book, so I might find out the answer.

Re: History Is Made At Night (1937)
Jean Arthur is pretty much brilliant in everything she does and is perfect foil to every leading man she worked with, Boyer really gets to her romantic side and she with him. I'm a big fan, it's a perfect love story however far fetched. I'm not sure of the point of the original post, it doesn't do t...

Re: Other British programming
I love Call The Midwife, it's perfect for Libby and I to watch. We've all started watching Frazier, starting at the very beginning, Chris and I loved it the first time around and Libby and Joe are both enjoying it, although some of the innuendo is going over Joe's head, he's still entertained enough...

Re: What are you reading?
I'm reading Dana Andrews biography, what a guy, I like him even more than I did and it's the ideal opportunity to go back and watch his movies again. Thank you Fernando

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I wached Satan Met a Lady with Warren William and Bette Davis, it's another outing for The maltese Falcon although a very tongue in cheek one with character names changed, I liked William's take on the private detective which was Warren William's philanderer character all the way through. Bette didn...

The song Mr Bojangles is about Bojangles Robinson isn't it? It makes me tear up when I hear Sammy Davis Jnr sing it.

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I only watched Female on the Beach a few weeks ago, it was really enjoyable, Joan looked amazing for her age. she should have rightly been very proud of herself. I rewatched Laura yesterday, the kids are home from school and they came in half way through and immediately got into it, apart from Joe h...
