Excellent! I love this movie! Joan Bennett is so cool and effortlessly sexy in this film! And Mason is duly tragic and attractive

I have a chantilly lace scarf she wore at a Jean-Paul Gaultier show — had to sell the jacket she wore with it for plane fare back to NYC tho 😂

In our early days my late husband quoted some rude sounding TBL lines so often without realizing I hadn’t seen it till I was about to dump him, lol, and he had to go buy the DVD at Virgin, then sit next to me down to watch it in one of the New Yorker’s offices to convince me not to. 😂

Geraldine Page's character fully deserves what Angela Lansbury's character demands, lol. A nice little movie, otherwise! One of my favorite "old maid" stories.

Too Late For Tears, and Do You Know This Voice? are favorites, but there are so many other good choices, including the odd little "White Tie And Tails," and his relatively small but perfectly played role in The Little Foxes. And a very small but screen-munching part in Ministry of Fear

Maybe I just don't like that look overall in all the actresses of the time. It's borderline kabuki.

I just don't understand what they did to her face. I understand not wanting to look "hot" to avoid frivolous roles, but I think for an actor, so much artifice interferes with and distracts from her facial expression. Claudette Colbert verges on that, too, in her later roles, but somehow manages.

She COULD be sexy but somewhere along the line someone decided she should look like a Lego mom

Amazon is one of the biggest backers of ICE. It'll be hard for me to cancel them, but if we all cancel them at once, at least it will be felt.

Of course people are still spending money, they feel hopeless and futile. That's what the neo-capitalists are counting on, that we spend ourselves into dependence and fear of losing our jobs, or even into homelessness leading to either death or incarceration convertible into free labor. #USeconomy

I have not seen them because I don't feel lke I've finished the pre-1970s yet, but I endorse any excuse to include movies in your Femme Saveuses list! :)
