Hi Shonna.

The book is by Amy Lawrence and deals with women in film. It takes detailed looks at films like Rain (1932), Sunset Blvd. (1950), Mildred Pierce (1946) and other films and explores them from a woman's perspective.

I'm interested. My only problem might be trying to find a copy of the book in my area or the local library. Some books, especially specialty types cost quite a bit of change. I pretty much buy books used or check 'em out of the library so I kinda have to take what I can find.

Sanders is a major icon! Have you seen him (with Hedy Lamarr!!) in Edgar G. Ulmer's oddly erotic melodrama THE STRANGE WOMAN? It airs on TCM on Tuesday, May 1. No, I don't think I have seen that one. Thanks for the heads up. Generally, anything with Sanders that crosses my TV screen gets recorded o...

Yes, San Quentin did stink. Bogey dying saying "he's a square guy..."

Nice to see you Shonna. I thought you disappeared from the TCM boards for awhile there.

I also like this board much better than the TCM board (although I still visit there). It's very friendly and I feel talk is much more bent towards film than other subjects.

They had at least three different spammers on there as well yesterday.

Looks like all those posts were removed.

Mr. Arkadin: This is why I don't comment on horror as a rule. I don't mean to offend anyone, and thankfully I didn't offend you. The few horror films I have seen have turned me off so completely, that I see very little of them, so I'm no fair judge. Thank you for your reassurance. Anne That's what ...

I believe you there. I think you do have at least 4 picks in the first round as well as the top pick though so that could help you a bit. You also have a good goalie too.

Just wondering because they were both in the same book I read and considered to be good B-films.

TCM showed Racketbusters last year and I recorded it and thought it was a great little B-film. I just assumed Big Shot might be as good. I'll record it anyway and let you know if I agree.

Supposedly Greer's career was really sabotaged by Howard Hawks when she refused his advances. She was under contract (for 7 years I think) and after "Out of the Past" and "The Big Steal" he gave her a lot of crappy parts. He was also checking up on her and tapping her phone and ...

Anne, You aren't upsetting me in the slightest. When someone doesn't like something, I just always like to hear what they did not enjoy or don't like. Most of the films you listed I personally do not care for as well (although I view "Invasion" as SiFi and I do personally like Night of the...

Supposedly Greer's career was really sabotaged by Howard Hughes when she refused his advances. She was under contract (for 7 years I think) and after "Out of the Past" and "The Big Steal" he gave her a lot of crappy parts. He was also checking up on her and tapping her phone and ...

I guess mine would be the original Mummy with Boris Karloff. My wife and I watch it together every Halloween. It's kind of our "Wonderful Life" film for that holiday. Karloff is amazing in this film. You never really see him walk with any kind of a gait. He just glides in and out. His acti...
