We watched VIVACIOUS LADY yesterday with Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart.

I'd never seen it before and it was LOL during several moments.

I don't know who put up the money for Victor/Victoria, Vixmom. But I think it's considered a U.S. film.

TRIVIA NOTE

The movie was filmed on the sets for Liz Taylor's Cleopatra when it was going to be filmed in England. The movie was made in Rome where the weather was nicer.

The poster makes fun of the Taylor/Burton/Harrison poster

VIVACIOUS LADY is a terrific little comedy.

TOD: Far too many to name. I've got that box set of CARRY ON films. Many are only intermittently funny and can often be a slog. CARRY ON, CLEO is my fav if only because of the outrageous Kenneth Williams' line (voted the funniest line ever in Britain): "Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me."

This is the best of The Carry On movies. Sort of like That's Entertainment!

I saw this in a cinema in a little town in southern Portugal in 1980. I was the only one in the theater laughing. It was in English with subtitles. Most of the jokes didn't translate well I guess

Yes one of the great lines of all time!

This story on dolphin-assisted births has been making me laugh all afternoon:

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/29/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing/#ixzz2kMMp9LI7

The friend who posted it is planning on giving his son-to-be Herring as a middle name. (It's an old family name.) But he said that since dolphins eat herring, his wife won't be using this method. They're going for a platypus-assisted birth.

I've never liked the Carry On films. The first and last one I went to see was Carry on Cleo and it was one of the few films I've walked out on.

We are back for a little rest after a lovely midday in Midtown. We stood at 5th Ave. & 52nd St. And watched some of the Veterans Day parade. We then went to La Bonne Soupe, one of our favorite places, for a light lunch. The hostess must have noticed that Richard was wearing his American Legion hat, because the owner visited our table, thanked Richard for his service, and told us we were his guests for lunch. On our walk home we bought some chocolates for Thanksgiving dinner, MetroCards, and some ground Starbucks coffee to use here in the apartment. We'll relax a bit before heading to 68th St. for dinner with friends.

I forgot:

Love Actually
An Awfully Big Adventure

Glad to see that DR ELMORE agrees with me about BEING JULIA. I also agree with DR DRUXY about AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS.....I just can't take it. Of course I am a David Niven anti-fan.

Not sure I would have given my vote to GIANT over THE TEN COMMANDMENTS....tough race....

Very nice DR GINNY. Take your camera everywhere!

Doug R · « **Reply #84 on:** November 11, 2013, 12:30:40 PM »

For the past few days I've been frequently losing my internet connection. I'm loathe to contact my ISP because when it's happened in the past they automatically assume it's something wrong my end, despite my having made no changes - they then proceed to guide me through various changes to my pc and router which ends up with everything being worse than before I called them. When I haven't contacted them, the internet connection has resumed working normally within a week - which suggests it's a problem their end. So I think I'll sit it out again until, hopefully, the connection gets back to normal.

If you have never read the novel GIANT, I would recommend it highly. It is one of my favorites. And it's great to have the movie characters' faces in mind when you read it.

I believe I'll be taking you up on that one of these days, DR Jrand63.

Okay, this is really weird! BK's Post #91 is at (according to my computer) 05:45:47 PM and Jane's Post #92 is at 05:13:20 PM. How can that be?

I had noticed that without looking at the time stamp as I knew I had attempted to post before Bruce did.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Perfect.
