The Bad Seed

One of my favorite classics based on Maxwell Anderson's play about a murderous 9 year old played by Patty McCormick

This is one of my favorite movies too. I love the simplicity of it.
Patty McCormick did the stage version, and they rushed to make the movie before she got too old for the role.

On tap tonight: Kirk Douglas

The Big Carnival (aka Ace in the Hole)
The Man with A Horn (Harry James' trumpet dubbed in makes this film)

No time for The Bad & The Beautiful, and Lonely Are the Brave, maybe tomorrow night.

Powerful heartbreaking scenes that make you feel embarrassed and humiliated for the characters.

Jezebel, 1938

I'm a fan of black and white photography and there have been great pictures shot with the intensity of black and white. One of my favorite scenes is a close up from A Place In the Sun directed by George Stevens (Best Director) and William Mellor (Best Cinematography) black and white. No doubt considering the power mix of actors and shots dominate the movie...

One of my faves is Imitation of Life with Lana Turner. It is the consummate tear-jerker.

I like Olivia de Havilland. I like her sister, Joan Fontain, too, although they were competitive enemies. Three great films come to mind besides Gone With the Wind and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte:

The Heiress (won Best Actress) with Montgomery Clift, Lady in a Cage, and The Snake Pit, nominated for Best Actress in 1949.

I do not like this movie at all: Some Like It Hot. It's odd because i'm a huge Billy Wilder fan. I think it's because I can't stand marilyn monroe.

"With the passing of Sir Laurence Olivier, every actor in the world moved up one notch." —Eulogy

This is a link to Olivier winning an Honorary Oscar. What a tremendous actor having been nominated 11 times.

Along those lines of the big Technicolor melodramas and tear jerkers of the 50s:
Magnificent Obsession, This Earth is Mine, Summer Place, Peyton Place, Written on The Wind, and Madam X (with Lana Turner) which is a remake from an original from the 30s (I think)
