Fan f***ing tastic! What a classy tribute and rare inside look at what is unquestionably part of the greatest eras of film (1932-1949). Thank you for posting this. Poor Judy died of cancer but had her own particular brand of eccentric honesty to the end.
Cheers. Recently I watched "Born Yesterday" & Judy was very good, though the film wasn't very interesting to me. The other mentioned films & the characters: Margo Channing {"All About Eve"} & Norma Desmond {"Sunset Blvd"} have become iconic over time. "Born Yesterday" hasn't. Thanks for commenting & I agree with your greatest era of film timeline. Perhaps a handful of 1950's films grew from talents of the '30s & '40s.
I've seen only one Tallulah Bankhead movie - Hitchcock's Life Boat. I bet you've seen it. It was an ensemble cast, but she and William Bendix really stood out.
Sometime, you might want to watch Born Yesterday again. It really is an incredible film, in my opinion. That's one of the things I love about films, or any other art form - our right to our own opinion as to whether we like it or not. Long live freedom of choice!
It sure is! That is why I stated "Born Yesterday" wasn't very interesting to ME. Fortunately I bought the DVD as it is now classed as 'deleted stock' & I shall watch it again sometime. Broderick Crawford was one of the reasons I didn't like it. Also the crooked Nazi cross in the apartment's wallpaper design really pissed me off. Has anyone else noticed that? "Lifeboat" is a great piece of work & Hitchcock chose a great ensemble cast. John Hodiak was also a stand out, tacky tattoos & all.
