TOD:
Videos (remember those?): "Heaven Can Wait" (the one from the 70's, the re-make of "Here Comes, Mr. Jordan"). Warren Beatty was hunky then; Julie Chrsite is as usual, luminous. It's the supporting cast that really makes the movie (and Elaine May's script). James Mason is brilliant and most effective at underplaying his role (as usual-- such command); Jack Warden is perfect; Buck Henry is Buck Henry. Charles Grodin, and most especially Dyan Cannon steal the movie from the others (and I know her part was cut way down, but still.....) Her scenes never fail to make me laugh.
"They All Laughed" (it's not consistently right, IMHO), but Ben Gazarra is right; Audrey Hepburn is always perfect; John Ritter is a riot in that, but it's Colleen Camp who steals the whole thing. And if there were any doubt that Peter Bogdonavich adored Dorothy Stratten, just watch the movie. He presents her so well (the way Selznick did with Jennifer Jones, the way Harry Cohn did with Rita Hayworth and despite his dislike for her, even Kim Novak). I have no idea how much talent Dorothy Stratten actually had, but you didn't care, because the director made her look good.
CD: another typical Kerry compilation for the car that includes Diana Dors, Dolly Parton, Tony Perkins, Dame Edna, and so much more. God only knows WHAT I was thing when I put that together.
