Wish they'd do a day for another great Italian actress, Anna Magnani.

Those are fun Sophia GIFs.
I'm recording "Arabesque" today as, somehow, I've never seen it.
I'd encourage others to give "Two Women" a watch if war's effect on civilians, as told through the lives of, well, two women, is your type of movie. I saw it this year and was very impressed. My comments on it here: "Two Women"

Wish they'd do a day for another great Italian actress, Anna Magnani. I couldn't agree more. I wonder if the fact that she's underrepresented in English-language films is the reason. For me she's like Shirley Booth; every opportunity to see her work is always rewarding, and often breathtaking. |

I'd encourage others to give "Two Women" a watch if war's effect on civilians, as told through the lives of, well, two women, is your type of movie. I saw it this year and was very impressed. My comments on it here: "Two Women" Yes, the GIF's show how easily she could go from "earthy" to sophisticated, no small feat, which I'm sure many other actresses would have wished for. Another one that's worth catching if you haven't seen it is Boy on a Dolphin (1957). Twentieth Century-Fox was still working very hard to promote its wide-screen process, CinemaScope; other processes were creeping into the market, so Fox was doing a lot of exotic location work to show spectacular locales in a way they hadn't been seen before, in this case the Greek islands. Sophia plays a poor sponge diver who finds a significant historical artifact, a statue of a boy riding a dolphin, and that brings her into contact with an archeologist (Alan Ladd) and a devious collector/dealer (Clifton Webb). It's a gorgeous adventure story directed by Fox's always-reliable Jean Negulesco and Sophia is spectacular, especially when she emerges dripping wet from the water, an image that was printed in magazines around the world at the time.  |

I read that there was a bit of a rivalry between Loren and Magnani in the late 50s/early 60s. Can't remember which film it was, but Magnani was offered the older woman role playing Loren's mother and she refused to do it. She was jealous of Loren, probably fearing that Loren's success was eclipsing her own, and she certainly wasn't going to wear make-up that made her look older. |

Very few of Geraldine Chaplin's films THIS year were in English. So, it really can't be the reason Magnani hasn't been picked. |

They've had other European performers featured during Summer Under the Stars. A few years ago Yves Montand had a day and half the offerings were in English and half were in French.

TB: re: rivalry between Magnani and Loren. I'm watching Loren's interview on TCM. The film was TWO WOMEN that Magnani didn't want to play Loren's mother

We recently watched "Captains Courageous" on Sunday Live "Don't be so Melodramatic." Carradine's performance was small but critical and impressive in it. Plus, it's just an outstanding movie.

Another spectacular assemblage of clips and a good representation of the span of his career. I know I tend to think of him now aa a kind of scary menace with craggy features, but he's actually quite handsome in some of the earlier roles. The GIF from The Grapes of Wrath in particular made me think of his eldest son, David, a handsome guy as well.
sinsation, it's making me a little crazy to realize that we're now bidding this thread adieu, at least for this year. Plese please please find equally expressive outlets for your talent here because you have a gift. Thanks again for a great month of one high point after another.
