"The Bishop's Wife" is a favorite of mine, too, though I only discovered it in the early '80s. And George C. Scott's is my favorite "Christmas Carol."<br /><br />I hope 2018 brings you nothing but good things. Great to hear from you again.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-9478388119958298962018-01-02T08:33:12.282-08:002018-01-02T08:33:12.282-08:00Hi Lady!

All of those movies are such beloved favorites, and I have to watch them too. I always have to add "The Bishop's Wife" and my favorite Dickens George C. Scott's "Christmas Carol." I hope your Christmas and New Year's were as joyful as mine. This looks to be a better year than before, that's for sure!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-9670722799810695532017-12-29T21:06:57.246-08:002017-12-29T21:06:57.246-08:00Though "The Shop Around the Corner" is m...Though "The Shop Around the Corner" is my favorite of the films starring Sullavan and Stewart, I'm also a fan of their "The Mortal Storm" and "The Shopworn Angel." The two worked beautifully together.<br /><br />You make an excellent point about the production design of "Remember the Night" Linda, I took particular notice of the effectiveness of set design and lighting as I watched it a few nights ago.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-43621082082970046122017-12-29T16:13:23.767-08:002017-12-29T16:13:23.767-08:00This list is just about the same as mine (lacking ...This list is just about the same as mine (lacking only Dickens -- and the Muppets). <br />This year I was struck by the fact that the three top stars of the delightful comedy The Shop Around the Corner, Morgan, Stewart, and Sullavan, starred with equal effectiveness that same year in the tragic anti-Nazi drama The Mortal Storm. <br />I also particularly appreciated the marvelously telling production design of Remember the Night, pointing up the contrast between her grim, forbidding mother, and the supportive home he is able to show her, probably for the first time, demonstrated by the way his boyhood bedroom has been lovingly preserved.<br />Linda J.

Actually, I think he does a fine job in "White Christmas," but I prefer the dynamic between Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire in "Holiday Inn" and especially enjoy Fred's turn a scheming scoundrel.

As a youth, I also preferred HOLIDAY INN over WHITE CHRISTMAS, but I reversed myself in the 1980s as my fondness for Danny Kaye grew (and I adore Vera-Ellen in WC, too). I was late in appreciating BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE, but am a big fan now. It's a fun--and appropriate--pic for a Christmas fave.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-91242310155938937882017-12-25T14:10:28.589-08:002017-12-25T14:10:28.589-08:00It was a very good year...in many ways :)It was a very good year...in many ways :)The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-41558931258707603142017-12-25T11:01:52.224-08:002017-12-25T11:01:52.224-08:00Love "Bell, Book and Candle", a unique m...Love "Bell, Book and Candle", a unique movie that beautifully captures the 50's, with a heavy dose of wit. Interesting that 1958 saw Kim Novak bewitching James Stewart in another one-of-a-kind film, "Vertigo". Pretty good year for those two.Motorcycle Boynoreply@blogger.com
