carni 10,094 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have just been trying to find the full film on You Tube. It states unavailable? I can only find trailers for the Bette Davies version of the film. I did find a full film from 1929 staring Jeanne Eagels and OP Hoggie, adaptation from the play 'The Letter' by W Somerset Maugham it runs for 59:54.? I think it is a very early version. I will wait to see if I get the chance to watch the film with Bette Davis staring . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Carni, I did chuckle at the appropriate misspell of 'starring' as BD did a lot of 'staring'! It's not her fault but she did have very protruding eyes, poor love. Maybe she had hyperthyroidism - that sometimes happens with that.... On a positive note (I had to try very hard) I thought the discordant music was well thought out at appropriate times during the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Misspell, Margie how could you think that about me. I thought I was being witty! Lol Glad you spotted it. If you believe that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THERE IS A FILM OF SHELAGH DELANY ON YOU TUBE TALKING ABOUT THE AREA SHE GREW UP IN AND ABOUT WRITING A TASTE OF HONEY. The author was only a teenager when she wrote A Taste of Honey! It is a brilliant film which I have on DVD. Dora Bryan is unequalled as Helen, Jo's irrepressible mother, yet manages to convey the tragic life she's had. Bryan, I feel, was a greatly underrated actress. Her face is able to tell a story without the need for dialogue. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Clockwise is a favourite of mine, especially the part with the hymn "He who would valiant be against all disaster!" Very funny and very appropriate. When my friend and I saw this at the cinema we laughed so much our eyes were sore and our ribs ached. We were helpless at the part where the head uses his binoculars to spot smokers from his office. We used to work at a school where the head of year spotted smokers from the staff room window using binoculars. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Love the bit where Brian is trying to tell the crowd he is not the Messiah and they keep repeating everything he says ... Brian: ”You are all individuals!” Crowd: ”We are all individuals” Michael Palin: “I’m not!” Clever! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I love the drumming gorilla advert, was it for Cadbury’s chocolate. Best films, Shining, Kelly’s Heroes and Gone With The Wind. Always watch them when they appear on tv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,079 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Not a film or advert or even a soap. Just Julie Walters being a waitress in TWO SOUP'S 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Lol, two soups reminds me of 'Dinner for One' with Freddie Frinton. Apparently watching this is a massive German New Year tradition... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Correct TBI about Freddie Frinton this film is certainly a German New Year tradition we have been over to my brothers for last 2 new years and yes! they watch it and watch it again and again. Then they say Germans have no sense of humour. They must have something or they would not watch Freddie Frinton. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
