Least Favorite Film: For some reason I didn't really like The Candidate. Nothing wrong with it, just worn out hearing about politics I guess.
Favorite Movie: It's been a few years since I watched Red River and I felt like I got more out of it this time. I also read the book by Borden Chase. I loved G. I. Blues, especially this song...
Song starts at 1:20
Coincidence time!
ReplyDeleteI recently wrote about My Favorite Brunette and its screenwriter Edmund Beloin received a WGA nomination for G.I. Blues. Thanks for the link to the song. I'd forgotten how sweet it is.
Ah, it's getting to that time of year to rewatch all of the Christmas favorites! I definitely want to make time this year for the two that you listed. Too Many Kisses looks like it could be fun, so I might try to see it.
ReplyDeleteWe still have lots to go through! Since we weren’t going anywhere for Thanksgiving (we did a food swap this year) we were able to watch Miracle on 34th St. that night.
DeleteI posted more screenshots of Powell on my blog Facebook page (click on that Carole Lombard photo near the top right). I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it!
I like the Donna Reed Show. :)
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed with The Magnificent Ambersons when I watched it (absolutely love the book!), but later I found out it was edited without Welles being involved, so it ended up different than originally intended. Really wish we still had the unedited version!
I haven’t read the book yet! Yeah, it’s always disappointing when the directors vision isn’t honored. If I could go back in time I’d visit the “cutting room floor” ;)
