How freakin' rude to take over the dinner party and make everyone listen to the radio. Incredibly obnoxious.

In the TV movie remake from 1985, Rita (played by Michele Lee) was no longer a radio writer, but instead a TV show writer.

Darnell was given some great lines in this one.

Darnell was given some great lines in this one. She's a little too sour...like Mankiewicz can't give her any dimension except snark. I don't find her a very believable character in these scenes.

I think the best actress in this one is Ann Sothern. Worst actress is Jeanne Crain, whom I normally like in other things.
Best actor is Kirk Douglas.
Sothern & Douglas are a dream team...they really are doing a good job fleshing out their characters.

I'm 6'1" 150lbs, give her a running start and Darnell will knock me right off my feet.

She wants him to quit teaching and edit the radio show? No! He's had so many cool things to say. Oops, here comes Addie-talk again.

Maybe you haven't got everything that you wanted after all (to the tune of dripping water)...

Let's go to the Finney home on the wrong side of the tracks.
We even hear and see a train, telling us they're near the tracks!

I lived on the corner of 3rd & 32nd street in NYC for years. Everytime the light changed, six lanes of traffic went from zero to forty - you just paused life for a few seconds like they do when the train goes by in this "shack."
