Good Afternoon!

And since it does seem that Time-Warner is doing some work in the area today...

What did they say about Frances?

I was at the UW from 1959-63, so she was really there before anybody's time.

But, I did have a high school drama teacher who often spoke very highly of her.

Actually, I was not that aware of Frances' work until many years later when I read a book about her (don't recall the title) and saw the movie with Jessica Lange, who should have won the Oscar that year.  Aside from COME AND GET IT, the only movies of her's that I've seen are FLOWING GOLD and SON OF FURY.

So few are available.

She "made it," then (rightly or wrongly) she "blew it".

Sad.

Sorry to hear about Dorothy Provine.  The clips reminded me that we used to watch that series because I think my dad had a little crush on her.  And I have an LP that DR Elmore gave me that I will play in her honor:

Thanks, DR MBarnum, for the news about Dorothy Provine; I always loved her and I wish her albums were released on commercial DVD. I alo wish that Warner Bros. would release more of their series from the 60s on DVD.

Very good day at the McGlinnventory!

Oh, but they're all available--you simply need to know whom to ask.  ;)

I have been sending requests to Warner Archives to release the WB shows like The Roaring 20s, 77 Sunset Strip and Surfside 6.

Perhaps Ron Pulliam JRand, Elmore, DR Ginny, Druxy, and other likeminded HHWers will do the same. They might start getting the idea and do something about it.

Here is the link to their contact:

Love Frances in SON OF FURY....which was released about 8 months before William Arnold wrote that she made it.

My first question for ASK BK day - did you prefer the automatic changing phonographs or the phonographs that played records one at a time?

I used to like the automatic changing 45rpm RCA phono I had - that was fun.  But I never liked using the changer for LPs.

Warner Archives actually has one of Frances' best performances, TOAST OF NEW YORK, the film she made right after COME AND GET IT.   This is the film with Cary Grant playing Cary Grant playing Cary Grant.  ;)

JMK, I believe with Beauty and the Beast some sort of computer program was developed for big dolly moves and pans and stuff that had never been possible before.

Big Dolly Movies - always my favorite.

My aunt had one of those 45 rpm only RCA changing phonographs.....most interesting to watch.

When I graduated high school, my dad took me out to buy a new stereo system as a gift.  One of my purchases was a turntable that could be programmed to play the tracks on the up side of a stack of LPs in any order.  You could have it play the second track of the first LP, then skip to the third track of the next LP in the stack, then return to a track on the first LP.  Good concept in design, lousy execution in engineering--the thing never worked properly, was built with the flimsiest of plastic parts and delivered tinny sound.  After spending a week with this thing, we took it back for a much more solid Pioneer turntable that I still use to this day.

Speaking of Big Dolly Moves--Dorothy Provine had a sort of Carol Channing-esque quality to her vocals.

And speaking of McGlinn... Well, sort of...

I just saw this over on Playbill.com:

Len Cariou and Jason Danieley Join Broadway Concert of Brigadoon

Alas, then I read this:

"A ten-piece orchestra, Broadway stars and 40-member chorus are expected."

TEN-PIECE ORCHESTRA!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

How pathetic! Lerner & Loewe deserve much better, but don't forget that the last aborted effort tried to turn it all into "River Dance."
