@laminage In fact, it just occurred to me that one of Lizbeth Scott's first important films was The Strange Love of Martha Ivers in which she worked with... Barbara Stanwyck. She's probably best remembered for Dead Reckoning with Humphrey Bogart, though.

@MrTraherne I stand corrected. I only went by what I read about. Her Sexuality was none of my Business. For what it's worth, Richard Chamberlin was fantastic in this Mini-Series. I will say one thing, wasn't Mary Carson some frightening when she first laid eyes on Meggie.

@laminage Miss Scott was not a B-movie actress.

The most beautiful scene and the most beautiful naked male I ever seen.From the biggest Richard's fan.

This scene is very similar to that descibed the book; However the only difference is that Ralph asks her: "Do you want to make love with me, Mary?" and she, after eyeing his....says "I don't want to put yourself in such trouble". Then she leaves saying: "You're not a real man, shame shame"

Good god he's naked!

This is THE scene of the whole movie... Wonders who would be the actors of a remaking now... and how they will do the scene... I'd add a tighter hug and a kiss...

0:33 "Oh yeah. oh yeah gimme that." XD

FRom what I remember, Ralph was not yet a cardinal in this scene from the book... He became cardinal long after she died, right? But alas,this scene is hotter in the movie, because in the book, it was quite sordid. Ralph kept refering to her as an old poisonous spider. Ah, thornbirds... has enough heartbreaks to last ten lifetimes.

Gay or not, Richard gave a brilliant performance NO actor at that time and even now can even matched his acting caliber! ....
One of the hottest scenes ever filmed, and it's between an elderly woman and a gay man! Amazing acting all the way around. Actually, wasn't Stanwyck bisexual? Who cares? GREAT SCENE!

Incredibly erotic scene. You have to be a great actress to pull this off at an advanced age. Some actresses can just be whatever they want to be in a moment. Stanwyck was the Blanchett of her day, no question.
