And I like the idea of his being Zsa Zsa's 'favourite husband'.<br />Aguja, thanks, and I shall keep the film reviews coming.<br />Clarissa, I've not seen Marnie for many years, but I remember liking it.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-62855100799866698062010-06-24T19:04:24.060+01:002010-06-24T19:04:24.060+01:00Wow, some of those old movies are so wonderful. Hi...Wow, some of those old movies are so wonderful. Hitchcock, even though he didn't have the bonus of better effects on his side, made movies that have stood the test of time. Even though Marnie (by Hitchcock) had fake backgrounds and silly red lenses, it still is wonderful psychological case study.<br /><br />CDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160669603997465454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-61696253657557169952010-06-24T13:24:35.926+01:002010-06-24T13:24:35.926+01:00Come the autumn, I shall look through your film re...Come the autumn, I shall look through your film reviews, to build up a winter viewing programme (excepting that it won't be as organised as that!)<br />I love it that you pull films from relative obscurity, like searching the bottom of a bag for goodies.agujahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857809123531088629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-3659143934879818692010-06-24T12:10:45.680+01:002010-06-24T12:10:45.680+01:00George Sanders was a wonderful actor who excelled ...George Sanders was a wonderful actor who excelled in playing either villains or world-weary cynics. He cultivated that persona, epitomized in his best-known role as theater critic Addison DeWitt in "All About Eve." He was married briefly to Zsa Zsa Gabor, who always said he was her favorite husband. There are a couple of Sanders biographies (one written by his close friend, actor Brian Aherne) and Sanders also wrote an autobiography called (I believe) MEMOIRS OF A CAD. Sadly, he suffered from depression most of his life and eventually committed suicide in the early 1970s. His suicide note read, "Forgive me, I was bored."Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-78343327749936041302010-06-24T03:46:57.706+01:002010-06-24T03:46:57.706+01:00Sometimes the old movies are the best.

You mentioned quite a good role of hers in <i>Double Indemnity</i>. Thanks for the recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
