Whatever made him THE GREATEST... Rules of the Game made no impression on me and Grand Illusion, well, I should rewatch it. But he reminds me of Cukor - DULL

Now that Criterion has released practically every one of his major 1930s films, I recommend re-starting your reeducation with La Chienne, The Crime of Monsieur Lange, La Bete Humaine, etc.

I do sympathize. When I screened TROTG for students last week I carefully avoided mentioning it often ranked #2 in many polls.

Hoping Criterion gets around to TCoML someday soon.

xp really liked La Chienne, Boudu Saved from Drowning, La Bete Humaine, haven't been able to see The Crime of Monsieur Lange yet

I prefer TCoML to TRotG. But it has been a long time since I've seen TRotG.

Good show, Wizard of Oz. Ninotchka would have been my second choice. Use to play the Garbo-laughs scene for my students every year.

my best friend from college is writing another book about Garbo, am looking forward to it

The right movie won, and I feel even better now having thrown my vote toward Only Angels Have Wings.
