Yes, DRPANNI, I have seen The Painted Veil - and it is Garbo looking lovely, but a bit of a mess story-wise. It was remade years later under a different title with Eleanor Parker!
I like it because it has Herbert Marshall - who of course played Maugham most famously in the 1946 version of The Razor's Edge. It shows now and then on TCM, and you can check their website to see if it's scheduled, or request it!
Freddy the Cat! One time my cousin and her daughter returned home from a weekend trip. The cat seemed to be missing. My cousin Lana asked: "Gina, do you know where the cat is?" Gina replied: "I didn't want him to run away so I put him in the record player." It was a suitcase type phonography. Lana tapped lightly on the top, no sound, she slowly released the latches and began to lift the lid! Suddenly the cat jumped straight into the air several feet, bounced off all the walls of the room and tore through the front door screen, never to be seen again. And don't you, somedays, feel just like a cat in a phonograph? I know I do.
Although it's not a movie, and since I was E/T yesterday, I would love to have been on the set for an I LOVE LUCY episode, probably "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" or "Lucy is Enciente." And if I HAVE to choose a movie, "The Long Long Trailer".
