It Happened One Paranoid Delusion (goatdogblog)

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:36:17 GMT

In this, the seventh episode of Best Pictures from the Outside In, Nathaniel, Nick, and I finally have some serious disagreements: is It Happened One Night absolutely perfect, or only nearly so? Can one really get enough of Claudette Colbert...

... this time as script writer). A great entry into the screwball genre, "Midnight" stars Don Ameche, Claudette Colbert (who usually annoys me a bit, but not here) and John Barrymore (who also usually annoys me a bit, but is perfect here). Barrymore apparently refused to learn his lines for the film and used cue cards throughout, but his timing and reactions are impeccable in every scene....

Colbert is divorcing hotelier and gambler Carey, and pursued by old beau Zachary Scott. Bates is trying to keep the family together while Wagner thinks everyone would be happier apart.

Action (Soho the Dog)

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:05:36 GMT

From the Mahler-Werfel papers at the University of Pennsylvania: (L to R) Alma Mahler, Don Ameche, Franz Werfel, "unknown man," and Claudette Colbert, ca. 1943. The "unknown man" looks an awful lot like famous director and communist-hater Sam Wood, which means this was likely taken on the set of the movie Guest Wife . Alma probably got a kick out of that.

Review - Rock - Oval House Theatre (West End Whingers)

Fri, 30 May 2008 20:53:28 GMT

Rock is a play of two halves. It has an interval. But that’s rather too simplistic. It’s much more profound than that. For, curiously, Bette Bourne appears to have memorised his Act 2 lines but has not yet got around to mastering the ones in Act 1. Most peculiar. Does he perhaps learn them backwards? A twist on the old anecdote about Claudette Colbert sheepishly telling Noel Coward that...

WHEN Hollywood star Claudette Colbert sheepishly told Noel Coward that she “knew her lines backwards yesterday”, the master famously raged: “That's just the way you're saying them today”.
