50 years on, NOVA’s gone woke
Did Maria (Gina Lollobrigida) sleep with Harry Chelm?
Surprised that a film made in 1953 with an illustrious cast…
She aged very gracefully
Peter Jackson must have run of money
You shouldn't switch sweethearts in mid-lam.

Didn't”t say it was “the” or “a” big issue; thought it was an interesting, if sad, side note. It was only one of a number of comments I made on the film. The others concerned plot points and such.
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, Onan — with your free hand, of course.
I voted for Nikki in the primaries but I’m not voting for Trump, despite her endorsement. Biden’s made more an effort to reach out to her voters than Trump. Normal campaign strategy is to try to unify one’s own party base and divide your opponent’s. Trump evidently feels he needn’t bother and will win without courting them. He might be right but he’ll look foolish if he loses a close election.
Closer to an oral issue — cancer that is.
The things that really dated it for me were Walter/Bill’s belly-button high waistband, super wide and super short tie, bracers, and short-trimmed mustache. Also the conventions of opening and closing the movie with a dictionary definition and the flashback scene where Walter remembers the many things that people have said to him while we see his face in close-up.
You borrowed my thought, vonhangman — from 16 years in the future.
That’s my assessment as well. Irene was in it for the money. You could see how pained she was at her lawyer’s demand for 1/3 of her inheritance as his fee for defending her.
Yes, all gone. I noticed that both of the leads died at relatively young ages of laryngeal cancer. They were probably both smokers. I noticed that Walter/Bill lit up a few times in the movie.
Yes, I see the resemblance to Ackroyd — but also Willis.
Perhaps Dorian was thinking of “magnate”.
He has “never-nude” syndrome.
