Cool! The library has a video they ordered for me. And I don't remember why I requested it! It's The Kim Novak Collection. There's something I wanted to see. But what is it? This is like Christmas morning!
Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Well if it's Kim Novak, make sure you post your thoughts about what you see.

My thoughts about Ms. Novak are not fit to post in mixed company!

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
The Novak film I had looked forward to seeing was MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, the Paddy Chayefsky drama discussed here a few weeks ago. I believe The Bronxgirl recommended it. I was a little disappointed. Neurotic and unpleasant, but lacking the quirky charm of THE BACHELOR PARTY and MARTY. I found it more miserable than dramatic. Great cast, though. The wonderful Fredric March was never better. Lee Grant appears in a minor role. Martin Balsam plays the only sensible person in the story!
Also on Kim's collection was JEANNE EAGELS. For all its soap and suds, I liked this melodrama better than the Chayefsky film. It's over-wrought and over-played, but it certainly is dramatic! I expected less from this one. Maybe that's why I was satisfied!

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I thought "Middle of the Night" was a good dramatic turn for Kim Novak. It was a bit uncomfortable for me to watch Fredric March enamored of young Novak. But it showed me older folks still have feelings too.
I don't know if I was shaken and/or stirred...but I liked the movie. If you really want to get sudsy, see Novak in "Strangers When We Meet."

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Winding up my week with Ms. Novak (we all have our fantasies), is a PICNIC. This particular outing is based on William Inge's sad, sensitive play; and I must lose the girl to virile young William Holden. But along the way, we meet the standard frail, neurotic supporting characters, from the pen of a man who depicted small town America as well as it's ever been done. Hyper Rosalind Russell and thirsty Arthur O'Connell outshine the handsome leads at every turn. This is a good filming of an excellent play.
Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
Today I watched "The Night Porter" (1974).
I started out really liking the movie, but it turned out to have the pace of a glacier. If it could have been 20 minutes shorter, it would have packed more of a punch.
I really liked Dirk Bogarde here. The way he went from being so fastidiously neat to a wreck of a man was impressive.
And Charlotte Rampling was terrific. She made me believe in the contradictions of her character. Her career has been an odd one, but she always brings a charge to whatever project she is in.
Still, the movie could have "moved."

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I know it's cheesy and all, but I just love Pride of the Yankees. It's one of my favorites. I haven't seen the Three Musketeers, and have added it to my Netflix queue. Glenn Miller story is of course great. Good choices!Rita Hayworth wrote:Yesterday, I watched three movies on TCM, they are ...
