Oh Sue Sue; My Sirk guilty pleasures are many. Well, first of all, "Written On The Wind" is one of my all-time favorite films. Brash, bold & beautiful it's everything a trashy '50's disfunctional family drama could dream of! I love it from the moment the credits begin and The Four Aces...

Dear Mrs O; In answer to the differences in acting in the various mediums. Stage is larger than ;ife, everything has to seem like it's intimate but play to the bcak of the house regardless of mics.

Dear Mrs. O- Barbara Stanwyck...(Sing) "Where do I begin, to tell the story...?" I ADORE her. Feisty, gutsy, sexy, bold and deliciously funny. There is always a wry humor even behind her most murdereous Film Noir gals that's hard to beat. Everyone credits her as being the ultimate film noi...
