@windstorm1000 EXACTLY! With TCM on HD now, and a 35 inch screen, who needs those horrible box theaters? The movie palaces are all gone but for a few... In France, the experience is much more like it used to be here...

@soapbxprod Right--The studios took it for granted that audiences could be knowing & get much of the humor/sophistication--which they did. I don't go to cinema. CGI: the alternative to a good script! That is why so many get classic movies (C.Grant, etc) & watch them maybe w a martini, glass of wine or club soda w smoked mussels, Triskets & smoked gouda. Much more pleasant than greasy popcorn, yelling kids & cell phones going off--who in their RIGHT MIND would go for the latter?

@windstorm1000 They didn't DUMB it Down! They wanted to elevate and enlighten their audiences, not pander to them!

@soapbxprod I like wit--and there was plenty of that in 60's movies---I also have a somwhat encyclopedic mind that helps!

@windstorm1000 You KNOW your movies! Tuesday Weld was a regular guest at Roddy's house- bet she had a beach house right next to his! George Axelrod wrote Lord Love a Duck! Such a pleasure to discuss 60s cinema with you.

@happels And he had just completed making a picture with Tuesday Weld called "Lord Love a Duck" the previous year--that may explain that ravishing young ladie's presence at some parties. That Darn Cat--FUN--and is successful no doubt, in part, to Mr. McDowall's wickedly funny performance as the jilted suitor. Roddy was beginning to patent some of Clifton Webb's mannerisms, very funnily.
Just spent all day watching your amazing videos. Wow! And the Lizabeth interviews. Endlessly fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing.

I believe Phyllis N. was a panelist on What's My Line after Dorothy Kilgallen died very mysteriuosly. She was more out going than Dorothy and funny but not quite as perceptive of who the guests would be. Fun era!

@windstorm1000 I think that you are RIGHT! And don't forget Anita Gillette!
