Very good! Yes, a 1957 film starring Cary Grant, Jayne Mansfield and Suzy Parker.

Suzy Parker was a (super) model turned actress and her life story is quite interesting.

I thought the movie (based on a Broadway play) was sub-par for a Cary Grant film but Suzy Parker made it worthwhile. It's streaming on Netflix.

It's pretty obscure; I had never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago.

I had brief comments almost three years ago: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1197724/review-older-films-here-1979-and-earlier/60#post_18130063

But this is a favorite (and my wife likes it! bonus!) and I'll definitely be reviewing it again when it comes around on BR.

Worth it for the quick 'n easy Hollandaise/Bernaise recipes alone, though these days the interweb is probably full of such. My mom had a copy and gifted one to me way back when.

Yup, Laura is a terrific film and I'm glad for the Blu-ray release. More noir is always a good thing.

I guess now that I got one I have to post one? Harder than I thought - hope it's not too obvious or obscure.

Not this time, cowboy. I recall Katherine Hepburn operating a Gatling Gun was a high point of that one, though.

TROUBLE IN MIND. I reviewed that here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1259578/review-films-of-the-1980s-here#post_18908380

Nice review - Faithful's rendition of "El Gavilon" with Isham's arrangement is remarkable. The phrase that always sticks in my mind is:

The dreams that possess you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane

I'm a sucker for a good rhyme smile.gif

Since you need points, here's another softball you can smack out of the park.

Tall woman, that lighting, must be Lesley Ann Warren in CHOOSE ME, reviewed here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1259578/review-films-of-the-1980s-here#post_19106489

Whatever happened to Alan Rudolph? If you post THE MODERNS we'll have the trilogy.

So is Peter Capaldi next to her. He was just in The Hour from the BBC.

I don't know, I lost track of him after Afterglow. I dearly love CM/TiM, but never connected with The Moderns for some reason.

Yep, because whenever I see Garland in a period costume my first thought is of Meet Me in St. Louis. smile.gif
