What are the odds?


I picked up this DVD when I happened to be in the local library last week and saw it on the movie shelf. I had never heard of it before but picked it up on the strength of the lead actors and the glowing remarks on the DVD case.

I didn't get a chance to watch it till tonight but before playing it, I jumped on imdb to see if there were any particular goofs I might keep an eye out for (I know, I know - but I just have an eye for details...).

I see on one of the imdb threads that someone had posted that she was watching the movie at "this very moment on TCM." Sure enough, it is in its last 15 minutes but I don't want to turn the TV on to watch it and spoil the ending for my complete viewing on DVD.

However, I lament the fact that I will have missed Robert Osborne's always interesting tidbits both before and after a movie runs on TCM.

Yet, when I play the DVD I picked up from the library, lo and behold, it has an "Introduction" feature that has an introduction by Robert Osborne in his usual TCM set!

Now, what are the odds that I would pick up a movie I've never heard of and get ready to watch it just as it is playing on TCM, and then also get a Robert Osborne intro, to boot??!


(Thought it was a great movie, BTW, with Olivia de Havilland's character's transformation and Montgomery Clift's sniveling, conniving ne'er do well.)

yep, he does do a great intro.
