Turkey is delicious, much better than chicken. For some of us, The Opposite Sex is a little oasis of pleasure.

There's something in that but remember, the casting of George Lazenby didn't kill off the Bond franchise :) But yes, I suppose we'd better get back to The Opposite Sex before the moderators slap our wrists. They hate it when we get off subject :D

While "what if" casting is often fun to ponder, one has to keep one foot in reality. And the reality is that Mame just isn't a very good movie. Would the presence of Angela Lansbury in the film of Mame made it a good movie? No! It may have made it slightly more enjoyable but a bad movie is still...

Well, I left out The Green Slime too but I couldn't name all their goodies! :)

It's in MetroColor, CinemaScope, hopefully stereophonic sound and chock full of glamour and stars. On paper at least, It certainly seems to be more profitable than a B&W movie from the 1930s like Dodsworth that won't fill up their screens and "household" names like Ruth Chatterton. Not a slam...

Seriously? And just what do you think Warners is in this for? Playing the good fairy and granting movie wishes for us? Spending their stockholders on money on restoring films that will never make their money back? You call them cheap. I call them good businessmen. And yes, if what we get is The...

Feel better now that you'e got it out of your system? :rolleyes: Insulting the hard working staff at Warners Archives where the average age is more likely 40s to 60s because I doubt 24 year olds have any interest in The Opposite Sex, Summer Stock, The Harvey Girls or Show Boat. I hope you're...

Helen Rose was a sorceress with fabric! I'd venture to say she might even out design Edith Head in that department but Head was a genius at self promotion which is why she's better known.

I'm sure more than a few people would be happy to see Mr. Skeffington on blu ray in which Dolores Gray sings It Had To Be You.

Don't hold your breath! People already know. I don't need to tell them twice. :D

But why keep it to themselves when they can gleefully hit us over the head like a hammer over the head several times as if we didn't get their opinion the first time? It's akin to the regular as clockwork whining with each new Warners Archives announcement. They complained about Warners...

June Allyson's MGM contract was over, Joan Collins was borrowed from 20th Century Fox, Ann Sheridan and Joan Blondell were freelancing and Carolyn Jones and Charlotte Greenwood were not under contract to MGM. Under contract to MGM: Ann Miller, Dolores Gray, Leslie Nielsen, Jeff Richards. Agnes...

If you liked Allyson in The Shrike, you might want to check her out in The Secret Heart (1946) in which she plays Claudette Colbert's neurotic stepdaughter who has an Oedipal complex, drops out of school and is placed under a psychiatrist's care. She even attempts suicide. Definitely not a sweet...

Quite true (though I dislike the film myself). But that's Hollywood, always looking for someone to blame and often it's the actor that's the scapegoat. Although highly regarded as a cinematic masterpiece today, Vertigo was a box office disappointment for Hitchcock and he blamed Stewart's "aged"...

Her face? Don't you mean his face? If you're referring to Allyson, it wasn't her that got Reed dumped, it was Stewart! How sexist! As usual, the woman is blamed and the man gets a pass. When a man strays, it's the other woman who gets the blame for "stealing" him from his happy home as if he had...

Not accurate! Allyson's MGM contract ended in 1953 after Remains To Be Seen. She free lanced after that although she returned to MGM for Executive Suite and The Opposite Sex. As to the reason she was cast ..... easy. She was box office. In 1955, Allyson and Grace Kelly were the only two women in...

Stop it, you tease! You've got me salivating!

From your lips to God's ear! Hopefully in time for Christmas :)

I'd snap that up in a micro second but I can already hear the hissy fit thrown by the Norma Shearer fanboys about how inferior the remake is and how dare Warners not release their darling Norma's creaky ... er, "classic" version instead. Maybe Warners can tack on the 1934 version as a "bonus...

Joan Collins on that "wallop": "Although the part was not large, it was flashy and juicy, and I had some good scenes. June Allyson confronts me in my dressing room and accuses me of the affair. I nonchalantly continue with removing my brief stage costume while she addresses me and progressively...

This news is better than a morning cup of coffee to start out my day! Call me a heretic but I infinitely prefer it to the 1939 film. We won't mention the 2008 Meg Ryan remake. Thank you WA, we need more Junebug on blu. How about Good News and Little Women next? :)
