Do you know a lot of hoydens?  Did William Holden like hoydens?
Kim Novak wasn't a hoyden, and Jimmy Stewart couldn't have been.
Favorite Film of theirs is, of course....Vertigo  :) :D

I don't have a favorite Kim Novack film but she did have some great dialogue in The Mirror Crack'd.

I could eat a can of Kodak and puke a better movie.

To Liz Taylor's character: Chin up, darling... both of them.

As for Mr. Stewart

I would have to say: Harvey, The Philadelphia Story, Rope (But film really belongs to Farley Granger and John Dall) and Rear Window

TOD 

Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much  are the first two that pop in mind and then of course It's A wonderful Life

But he was wonderful in everything  are there any bad James Stewart movies?

Good morning, all! I had a lot of really strange dreams last night. In one, I went to a party on Fifth Avenue in this really swank apartment, and the only people I knew there were Joshie and Rob Berman. I mostly remember wandering from room to room where there were all these wealthy socialites in evening gowns and suits. I seemed to be losing my clothes. I left the party and returned looking for my cap. Couldn't find it. Then, I got a taxi and we headed up Central Park West, and then I was in a subway wearing only my underwear, as I recall, and it was a complete ordeal trying to get to my apartment. I think Bertolt Brecht was talking to me on the subway platform.

So, I have physical therapy this morning. I will return, finish up this young man's orchestra score, and get back to Paint Your Wagon work.

Great photos, DR vixmom! I'm happy you and the vixter had a good day. Did you get a chance to visit with our DR ChasSmith at all?

I really enjoyed all of the stories from yesterday.  And I'm ready for a nap.

More coffee!

Good morning, all.

I'm on my way out for a very quick visit to Cincinnati!  I shall wave hi in DR Ginny's direction, but we will all be heading back in this direction on Thursday.  Isn't that nice?

That's all for now.  Back here tonight.  Vibes to all.

It looks like I may be "attending" my first day of my new job via computer, due to the snowstorm. It's completely white outside, but the worst of it is supposed to come later.

I feel just so with it and happening and hip - I've received invitations to join Google's new "Inbox" service - guaranteed to revolutionalise E-mail - and "Ello," the new Facebook replacement.

On the other hand, perhaps I'll just sit here like so much fish and gaze at my nihilistic navel.

That snow is starting early! Last year it waited until after Thanksgiving. In 2013 we arrived in Minnesota the day after Thanksgiving and the day before a 6-inch blizzard hit the city and it went down (temps and snow) from there!

Regarding VERTIGO:

I think that Hitchcock did the "big reveal" 30 minutes or so before the end of the movie because he knew that audiences were going to suspect the ending anyway, so by giving them the solution early, he avoided criticism like, "Oh, I knew that thirty minutes before the end of the movie."

I saw VERTIGO when it first came out, and I thought he'd made a big mistake by doing that, but since then I agree that it was a brilliant move.  It changed the who focus of the film's final half hour.

Nevertheless, of Hitchcock's films, I much prefer NORTH BY NORTHWEST, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (2) and REAR WINDOW.  I would rank VERTIGO as #4 on my list of Hitchcock favorites.

Brent's show was great.  While he sang many songs from the Kander and Ebb Album, he also performed songs from "The Happy Time," "The Visit," "The Scottsboro Boys," and "Cabaret."  A nice surprise was "My Coloring Book."

Monday morning greetings!  Fitful sleep was not what we needed last night, but that's what we got.  It's a busy 3 days before our NYC departure and I would like to have started the week well-rested - oh, well.
