Watching it now on TCM (2/5/2016)


The technicolor is great! This is a very good print of the movie.

Love the southwest decor in Jacinto.

This is my 2nd time seeing it and I still find it breathtaking.

Wiki says it's one of Scosese's all time favorite films.

Keep an eye on those colors - it's subtle, but you can see as the movie progresses that GT's clothing is coordinated to fit the background decor in many scenes.

Thanks for pointing that out! Yes her quilted lounge outfit went well with the sofa.

reply

How about her red lipstick? She wore it in the swimming scene and when she got out of bed!

reply

So am I! I had a feeling that I wasn't the only one.

Can't watch "Danny in the Lake" scene.

hello I just came downstairs and saw my mom watching this and this is so horrible!
We watched years ago but she forgot so I had to go down and warn her this was coming.... wow how could anyoe be the cruel???

Her mother says, "There's nothing wrong with Ellen. She just loves too much." Delusional Parent Award Winner.

Ah, so. Downton Abbey. I wonder if Julian Fellowes got the idea for the first Mrs. Bates "offing" herself (to blame Mr. Bates) from this movie.

reply

They sure used a lot of the color turqois - wallpaper, paint, dress....

reply

~ I notice that too the turqois & the shades of lighter blue💙 throughout the background and dresses. The colors did look lovely.

This is one of the most visually beautiful movies ever -- the scenery, the interiors, the photography, the makeup, the art production and production design -- and TCM has CHOPPED OFF THE SIDES for television! Maddening!!!!!

I just finished watching it and it is magnificent film. One of the most visually beautiful films I've ever seen. No surprise the film won its only Oscar for cinematography.

The cast was superb, especially Gene Tierney as Ellen, who received a very well deserved Oscar nomination. She lost to Joan Crawford for Mildred Pierce.

Her costar Cornel Wilde was also nominated for an Oscar that year but for a different film, A Song to Remember. Haven't seen that yet. But he was also outstanding here.

If this film were made today, there is no doubt they would have tacked on a few unnecessary twists and turns, shaky cams and proper diversity. As it is, the ending was perfect. 10/10
