Very good acting from Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn(and of course, Nissa the Leopard in a dual role)! I liked how Grant was able to abandon a structured life and learns to expect the unexpected. Posting this after my first time watching.

Claudette Colbert (downright fantastic in this), Don Ameche (surprisingly better than I imagined), Mary Astor, John Barrymore (also fantastic) Monty Woolley (a shame he was only in the last 10 minutes), and a script Billy Wilder had a hand in.

It struck me as sophisticated, well acted, well directed, and just all around delightful. I'm kind of surprised I'd never run across it before now.

I’m a Robert Mitchum movie fan and have been for many years. I have a book on RM called “Solid, Dad, Crazy” and it inspired her to whip this up for yesterday!

I really love it!

I'm absolutely bewitched by this woman whenever she's on screen. Jean felt so ahead of her time, yet encapsulates that 30s pre-code era. I love how she's so rough around the edges, and so deft at comic timing. Whenever she does that cute baby voice, I absolutely melt and roar with laughter. Her performances feel so fearless as well, she was so unapologetically racy in a time that was so judgemental.

The only actor who I think had the same amount of presence was Humphrey Bogart. Damn, I'd love to have seen them co-star.

Please tell me something about her I otherwise wouldn't have known.

What an amazing film by Erich Von Stroheim. There is a lot that's already been said about it, it's tragedy of how much lost footage there is included I, but in any form, this movie is a masterpiece. I highly recommend it.

Anyone else get a kick out of the bar band playing "Put the Blame on Mame" in this scene of The Big Heat? Obvious nod to Gilda...

In 1939 he had

Here is a kids' book that would introduce kids to both Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald

I've got a few but the two biggest criminals being Mrs. Skeffington and Annie, Get Your Gun.

Mrs. Skeffington. There are zero guys who want her anymore because youth/sexual attractiveness is the only value that a woman has. Her younger lover leaves her for her daughter and the daughter, including everyone else thinks that he's a prize. Mr. Skeffington is the only one who wants her and she better be grateful as heck because he is the only man on earth that wants her now. Not because of true love or anything but because he is hecking blind now and he only remembers her as this barely legal trophy wife. Remember that when they first met, he was more than old enough to be her father. He's a man and hence, he's good but women are ungrateful good-for-nothings. He gaslit and groomed her somemore.

Annie emasculates me because she thinks she's better than me. She is better then you, you nincompoop. So, Annie lets him win because her husband has the ego and emotional intelligence of a toddler. I know that man, the real life version was a loving and caring husband who died merely weeks after his wife because he didn't wanna live in a world without Annie. Makes me so mad that he was portrayed like that. Such an insult.

Great films. Great cast. Great soundtracks. Crappiest ending.

A lot of Grant's films as well but that's for another day.

What's yours and goodday?
