Rock, paper, scissors, rope, gun.
Yes, they have that type of marriage.

There is a pretty good copy of the movie on the Internet Archive.
And of course the IA has the press book where we find poor Bogie flogging moist cigarettes and Alexis showing how we might entertain like the stars.

A few notable images from THE TWO MRS. CARROLLS...
1. This is one of the film’s most artfully composed shots. It occurs near the beginning of the story, when Stanwyck's character takes refuge inside a cave during a rainstorm.
2. Also worth mentioning is the Art Direction by Anton Grot and Set Decoration by Budd Friend. The studio spent money on this production and it shows.
3. And here we have a wonderful use of shadows by director Peter Godfrey and cinematographer Peverell Marley. Incidentally, Marley is only one of a half dozen cinematographers with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I was not aware of this. Wow -- some tragically glaring omissions there!

The Continuing Adventures of Fawn and Me
Me: "That's my side."
Fawn: "What?"
Me: "I always sit on that side of the sofa."
Fawn: "Let's mix it up a bit today."
Me: "Let's not. Scoot over."
Fawn: "Really, you can't sit on that side?"
Me: "The armrest will be on the wrong side of me."
Fawn: "Dear God, fine, we'll switch."
- Fawn and I switch places -
Me: [now all happy] "This is good."
Fawn: "You know, you have issues."
Me: "Sure. Hey, I thought we'd try a different brand of popcorn today."
Fawn: "What, and ruin the movie! [in an anxious voice] You're kidding, right? You know I hate changing brands of foods?"
Me: "Yes, ‘I’ have issues."
Fawn: "Whatever, did you really switch brands?"
Me: "No, I wouldn't do that to you."
Fawn: "Thank you. Oh, movie's about to start."
Me: "Yup. [with a sly smile Fawn doesn't see] Hey, is that window shade up a bit higher than usual?"
Fawn: [shaking his head is exasperation]: "Just watch the movie."
We both relax and lean slightly into each other as I pass (the same brand as always) of popcorn over to Fawn and comfortably put the remote down on the end table now on the "correct" side of me.
Fawn and Me: [contentedly] "Sigh."

Uh oh. Has someone spent time at the mirror and discovered a good side?

Seemed like a set-up - a really high lob for first come, first served. I couldn't resist.

Here's Eddie's outro for the film. *Watch it after seeing the film if you are afraid it might spoil things for you.*
Sometimes guilty of taking a peak at the end of a novel or film I drank it in and am shocked to hear the film bombed horribly. The public hated it? What do we know. Quel idiots.
John Decker the art forger of The Bundy Drive Boys has me intrigued. I notice no mention of forging on his wiki and so I will be off to the blogs after the theatre.
