'Countess de Lave' is based on the real life Countess Dorothy di Frasso, a famous bon vivante and party-giver on both coasts who's lovers included Gary Cooper and Bugsy Sieagel.
Isn't the Countess de-vine? Particularly when she says, after one of her husbands pushed her down the mountain in a murder attempt, "I was half way down the mountain before I realized my ______didn't love me anymore." LMAO!!!! too. L'amour,L'amour. " That's French for love. Cheers!
This is one of my all time favorite movies..the dialogue, the first rate delivery....and oh...the costumes..if only we had such fashion and style now. What fun to glide across the floor in one of those evening gowns..wearing of course, Jungle Red nail polish!
What were these women really like? I wrote a firsthand account of life on an exclusive 1940s Reno divorce ranch, THE DIVORCE SEEKERS. Never-before-published photos bring to life the stories of these Eastern socialites and blue bloods who came "out West" for six weeks, fell in love, and some who stayed. There is also a clip from an interview I did with Fox for the re-release of CHARLIE CHAN IN RENO -- another good divorce movie! You Tube search words: "Charlie Chan in Reno." -Bill McGee, Author
I said the same thing...I see the coming attractions on tv and it makes me sick...I have a friend that sees every movie that comes out and she'll probably think it's wonderful...She loves newer movies like I like the old ones..or I should say I like the GOOD ones...'giggle'
The remake did not stink however it did not make much of an impression either. It could not possibly compete with the legendary original! Why film companies waste their time and money trying to recreate the magic and spendor of previous massive hit films is beyond me!
Absolutley. They tried too hard to make it "modern", and, instead, have made it into a film where all of the charachters act like Karen Walker(W&G) & Christine Baranski's character on "Cybil".
I recommend all of these young women to watch this movie

They were lifelong rivals, but Norma Shearer wasn't HALF the talent or HALF the beauty and sex appeal that Joan was.

Countess de Llave. Llave rhymes with love, but it means "wash" in French. Remember she owns a soap company.

Didn't Adrian do the gowns? I saw one of his creations (LOL) in San Fran a few years ago. I hope he got combat pay working with Crawford.

It's been remade... and it's probably going to stink to high heaven.

@Rango9 You must be psychic! Why do they remake the wonderful films when there are so many books waiting to become movies?
