I have a feeling it will be right up your alley. (Then again, there are a few significant titles here I haven't seen either, but Frances jumped out at me in particular as actressexual heaven.)Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435448003077731913.post-47342228163954839392010-05-05T06:11:56.418-04:002010-05-05T06:11:56.418-04:00The Unsinkable Molly Brown has terrific songs and ...The Unsinkable Molly Brown has terrific songs and dances, including He's My Friend which features Debbie Reynolds, Gus Trikonis and Grover Dale dancing themselves to a fare thee well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056784644560217125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435448003077731913.post-7996920360204672022010-05-04T17:08:21.534-04:002010-05-04T17:08:21.534-04:00Geneviève Bujold, Anne of the Thousand Days A stud...<em>Geneviève Bujold, Anne of the Thousand Days A studio-made historical epic from the mid-60's designed purely for Oscar consideration.

For all I know, she could be absolutely stellar in <i>Leave Her to Heaven</i>. I'm just not exactly excited about it since I haven't liked her in either of her of most famous performances: <i>Laura</i> and <i>Whirlpool</i>.Dame Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684030137746709310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435448003077731913.post-37076602907045895012010-05-04T13:00:39.217-04:002010-05-04T13:00:39.217-04:00I adored Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven?

I wish the film was as good as her (or on the same playing field, since she was the only part of it going for the OMGWTF aspects of the story), though, but it deserved its Cinematography win.J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17126912928153855523noreply@blogger.com
