i once had a really odd conversation with my mother about how much she hated Barbara Stanwyck. it was hilarious.

But if you were to recount hilarious conversation it might cheer me up.
― Cutset Creator (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 5 December 2014 22:13 (nine years ago) link
I wish I could accurately relay it, but it wasn't so much the words as the pure, unexpected, primal disgust in her face when I mentioned how much I loved Stanwyck, as she simply muttered "I don't like her. I never did." It totally came out of nowhere.

Hey, it is categorized as a Comedy.

^^The New Yorker DVD is VHS quality. The film is as serious as one can be with an extended fight scene between two guys in mouse suits inside its running time.

xp I couldn't get into 'the chase' at all
also I dvr'd 'Umberto D.' a while back off tcm -- was hard to figure out having never seen it before, they showed the last :30 mins (so last reel?) first! "FINE came up & it then continued after fading out & I was like damn, this shit is experimental! anyway, I still liked it p well, good flick

Arthur Penn didn't like The Chase (taken away from him in editing).
Mordy, are you into Houdini? College prof of mine wrote a major biography.

Wow, that Bitter Tea of General Yen... so racist, yet apparently it failed on release because people were shocked by the miscegenation aspect!? Still, I'm kind of amazed by that Fu Manchu vampire erotic dream sequence.
I missed the recent runs of Baby Face but fortunately it's on their On Demand service for a few more days
