Yes, it's a weak sister, but I loved watching Agnes Moorehead zip around in her big Lincoln.marksparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601131043640571653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-22006962192791197842010-12-19T15:44:08.494-05:002010-12-19T15:44:08.494-05:00Just not a realistic picture!

The truth is, I'm too cheapo (or maybe broke is the word?!) to pay that much for them, not that they're exorbitant. I am just used to TCM or other satellite stations or $3 bargain bin DVDs in order to see my movies.<br /><br />Isn't it funny how so many movies (then and maybe now) are appealing because of the second leads or supporting players versus the leads?!<br /><br />Thanks for reading, y'all!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-18247427210630903962010-12-19T09:14:26.096-05:002010-12-19T09:14:26.096-05:00Have you purchased any of the made-to-order WB Arc...Have you purchased any of the made-to-order WB Archive DVD-R's? From what I understand, despite the bare bones, no frills packaging and lack of extras, the transfers are usually very good. <em>The Opposite Sex</em> heads the list of ones I'd actually want to buy -- I never compare it, really, to <em>The Women</em>, because, as you said, it's from an entirely different universe.<br /><br />A year later, as Hollywood continued its fascination with reviving old B&W classics with Cinemascope, Technicolor and so forth, June Allyson attempted to fill some other pretty formidable satin pumps, playing the Carole Lombard role in the Universal remake of <em>My Man Godfrey</em> --which I loved as a kid! I worship the original, of course, but the 1957 version is just so...1957.

Allyson is bearable here (love her final red slim gown) but Dolores steals the show as catty Sylvia - it interestingly reworks the original by making her (and not the Countess) the patron of Buck Winston, but all the girls shine: Aggie Moorehead seems to be having a ball as the Countess, and Alice Pearce is fun as the Jungle Red saleslady. <br /><br />Gray was also terrific as Madeline with her saccharine tv show "The Throb of Manhattan" in Gene and Cyd's "Its Always Fair Weather" where she does the sensational "Thanks a lot but no thanks" number in that ritzy red dress. Dan Daily is terrific here too, and I love her tipping the plate of ravioli into Greg Peck's lap in "Designing Woman" that hymn to 1957.Michael O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820802843771524920noreply@blogger.com
