oh yeah...that's the only color in the film...the fashion show.



you know that film was rather frank for it's time.


Joan's character put it to Norma in real talk

paraphrasing...
"if Stephen doesn't like what I wear...I take it off."

and she told Norma's character "what you worrying about what I do with your husband bitch, you still got the name and money!"

okay she didn't quite say it like that but I understood every word.

I honestly feel that was the BEST most honest per4mance played by Ms.Crowford No I take that back, it wasn't a per4mance, she was playing herself

I was when she said..

There is a name for you, ladies, but it isn't used in high society... outside of a kennel.

And..

If you throw a lambchop into a hot oven, what's gonna keep it from gettin' done?


She went in on them JOAN style mos def the the snappiest role she ever played in her life.

Rosalind was a riot as well!

How could I have left her out? Someone else mentioned also.
Bette really is very gifted as an actress. Another one who doesn't get nearly enough film roles...or when she does...of enough quality.

Oh, geez...where do I start?

Classic
Bette Davis
Norma Shearer
Elizabeth Taylor
Vivien Leigh
Carole Lombard
Judy Garland
Barbara Stanwyck

My two favorite non-leading ladies:

Beulah Bondi
Thelma Ritter

They did some amazing work between them.

Contemporary
Kristin Scott Thomas (I've always liked her, but her work in I've Loved You So Long is truly spectacular)
Kate Winslet (she allowed herself be ugly in The Reader - and I love her for it)
Cate Blanchett
Helen Mirren

"I've had three.....children"

It's a brilliant movie/play, but you have to catch that groove when watching it. I swear the first time I watched this movie I couldn't keep up with how they were talkin a mile a minute!

Don't forget:
