Lying tic
Has anyone else seen this movie? Did you notice that Carole Lombard had a tick of sticking her tongue in her cheek when she was about to lie? Seems like a risque move for the times....just a comment.
shareIt was a deliberate bit to signal to the audience she was about to start lying.
shareyeah, but it was a lil scandalous for what that "signals" nowadays.
shareWhat does that "tic" signal, that is so scandalous nowadays?
"OOO...I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"
People do that tongue in cheek thing when they want to mime oral sex. Oftentimes a tight fist accompanies it.
shareBack in the 1930's if you told someone you were at a 'gay party' last night, it meant something completely different than it does today.
shareI loved this movie, but I'm watching it on demand at TCM on television & at least 6 scenes so far have frozen & pick up with new dialog.
It's not the topic but most recent post I can find.
I like how Carole does that trick with her mouth, you know it's a lie.
