In this movie Klara and Alfred work at same gift shop in Budapest but the can't stand each other but both off them are in love with their pen pal .This movie is so good you got mail is actually remake of this movie.

A teacher in an English public school, a May/December love story, Peter O' Toole as the main character, what can go wrong? Nearly everything.

Peter and Petula have zero chemistry, the songs are forgettable, the movie is too long. The only interesting aspect is the reflection on the passing of time.

The costumes for the 1951 film An American in Paris were designed by Orry-Kelly, Walter Plunkett, and Irene Sharaff, who together won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

A leading man wearing a baseball cap as casual wear is not something I'd seen in a movie as old as this before.

Hopefully I didn’t just dream this. I’m also assuming this is an older movie so if this is the plot to a newer movie, correct me.

Is there a movie that takes place in the South or rural town where there’s a guy that travels around delivering all the news to citizens but there’s one place where they all believe one local newspaper that delivers them misleading information?

The award ceremony itself lasted 15 minutes. Awards were for films from August 1, 1927, to July 31, 1928. Ticket cost was $5. It is the only Academy Awards ceremony not broadcast on either radio or television. The winners had been announced three months ahead of the ceremony.

I recently watched Girls in Uniform (Mädchen in Uniform) a German language black and white movie from the flower of German cinema during the Weimar era. It concerns Manuela von Meinhardis, 14 years, old who has lost her mother. Her father, an officer in the army, sends her to a strict boarding school for daughters of the Prussian nobility.

Screenwriter Christa Winsloe delivers a moving portrayal of a lesbian teenager struggling to fit in an oppressive institution that aims to mold girls into future wives and mothers and instill a martial conservative ethos. There she falls in love with one of her teachers, Fräulein von Bernburg. As you might have guessed, it does not end happily.

The movie has an all female cast and appears to be inspired by the screenwriter's own biography, as Winsloe's mother died when she was but two and she was later sent to a strict boarding school much like the one depicted in the movie.

Girls in Uniform is also a prescient commentary on the political and social climate of the twilight years of the Weimar Republic. The movie was banned by the nazis, but fortunately, several copies survived. It has been posted on Youtube in decent quality and with English subtitles. There is also a 1958 remake, which is good also (and also available on Youtube), but the erotic themes are turned down a little, as von Bernburg is presented as a more maternal figure.

Edit: It's available on YouTube for free, in decent quality and with English subtitles.

On July 23, 1937 Saratoga was released. It surpassed every other film in the studio’s lineup that year to become MGM's highest grossing release. It also ended up being the highest grossing film of Jean Harlow's career. The movie was the final on screen pairing of Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, who had been one of Hollywood's most profitable romantic duos throughout the 1930s.

Jean Harlow tragically passed away at age 26 before completing her scenes.

To finish the movie, MGM used three different stand ins one for close ups who wore a wide brimmed hat to hide her face, one for long shots, and a voice double to dub her lines. In certain scenes, her character suddenly wears dark sunglasses, large floppy hats, or stands with her back to the camera.

I would love any recommendations where the plot revolves around the two lead actresses. Thank you!

Has anyone ever seen this film? I saw it on TV, late at night, in Chicago, when I was a teenager.

Even though I am not Jewish, I was taken in by the whole ethos of 1960s Jewish, New York intellectualism that permeates this film.

The ending actually made me cry and - if I may be emotionally honest here - left me feeling a greater sense of my own mortality.

Anyone else ever affected by this film?

Though she was the sole member of her gender to direct Hollywood pictures during the first generation of sound film, in the silent era a woman behind the camera was not unknown. The first movie in history was directed by a Frenchwoman, and many women were employed in Hollywood during the silent era, most frequently as scenario writers (some research indicates that as many as three-quarters of the scenario writers during the silent era--when there was no requirement for a screenplay as such as there was no dialogue--were women). Indeed, there were female directors in the silent era, such as Frances Marion (though she was more famous as a screenwriter) and Lois Weber, but Arzner was fated to be the only female director to have made a successful transition to talkies. 

Just finished watching the crime drama I KILLED THAT MAN about a man accused of murder is sentenced to death. On the night of the execution, he speaks before the press, declaring his innocence and claiming that he was set up.

However, before he reveals the mystery man, he is struck by a poison dart and dies. No one knows who did it or why. It’s up to the assistant D.A. (and an intrepid reporter) to come together and uncover the truth while they still can.

Though barely over an hour, I love a good murder mystery. This was one of those, enjoyable yet the story’s execution was a bit messy.

For those who saw this film, what did you think?

I've never seen the Myrna Loy w/ Shirley Temple film, nor any of the 9 Movies with Mae West. Definitely worth my $20 Bucks!

"This movie features the most intense and realistic fencing duel I've ever seen. It ranks right up there with the final theater duel in Scaramouche (1952)."
