Haven’t seen this one since I was quite young and it still holds up well in my wee noggin. Walty

Haha that’s funny

That’s comedic bro

It’s ironic how much misogyny this movie has considering I found my mind wandering off whenever there wasn’t a woman on screen! Adored Barbara Loden’s character and performance sooo much. The party scene reminded me of myself a lot so of course some tears were shed… Natalie perfect as usual. Could have been an absolute favorite of mine if it wasn’t for the fact every single male character in this damn movie was chauvinistic to no end

❤️

Um

The way Jeannie Berlin sounds the exact same as she did in the 70s… She’s my entire heart… random Edie Falco homosexuality was displayed here but I appreciated it

Fuck my life

Can’t believe I’m saying this but this would’ve been better if it was done more as an exploitation movie (it is by definition but idk… it could’ve been more brutal and eventful)

Knew this was gonna be a misogynistic mess by the tagline alone but I didn’t know it was gonna be Opens With a Rape Scene level of misogynistic! Ann Sothern and Cindy Williams are worth getting thoroughly upset over though I guess… not much for me to say. Horror movies where women are targeted aren’t for me in the slightest. Just bullshit for woman hating men to get off to. Not even the animals are safe here… 

Despite the rape, woman killing, and animal killing… Ann Sothern as a boy mom was still the hardest thing to witness here

1) Olivia de Havilland please give me a   time alone you and I Winkkkkk Lalalala 2) how was Ann Sothern delivering Elizabeth Taylor as Martha 2 years before WAOVW movie adaptation came out ? Like yes the play already existed but she was delivering Elizabeth Taylor’s performance Specifically… 3) James Caan tried his hardest to act like Marlon Brando here it gave me embarrassment

How was Thelma Ritter uncredited in this? She outperformed every single man here! Viewed this mainly for Ann Sothern since I’ve decided I want to watch her movies only for me to realize I’ve seen NONE! Until now, of course… I love her voice more than words can express. Her mannerisms! Her facial expressions! That FACE!!! Will without a doubt be watching more of her stuff. Linda Darnell was quite good too but when is she not? Celeste Holm was such a marvelous narrator too. Every single man in this movie pissed me off to no bounds but that’s to be expected. I’m so excited to see more Ann movies! Also this is the first movie I’ve watched in a good 2 weeks #EMPLOYED

I’ve given two things 5 stars upon first watch so far this year and this is one of them

Will 100% be a fav upon rewatch. Betty Hutton is so charming.

I actually thought this was very good. Miriam Hopkins is one of the most charming actresses! My first Merle Oberon movie and it’a safe to say I get the hype… the way her eyes glisten Ugh so good. And as always Margaret Hamilton utilized her very little screen time masterfully. Very solid movie despite me wishing there was a soul crushing ending as the children’s hour does

That my favorite

Maureen Stapleton takes me to embarrassing places

Yes I recognized the child actress who played young Blanche in what ever happened to baby Jane … kind of just made me want to watch an actual Capra movie but I had a good time and obviously Doris Day is my heart

Ginger’s glances in this movie are worth an award in itself. Hate the weak portrayal of the literal KKK(!) but what else would you expect from not only a movie from 1950 but a movie with an entirely Republican cast… I say this with an insane amount of love in my heart for Ginger Rogers and especially Doris Day. It’s not even that it’s necessarily sugarcoated… just could’ve in my opinion showed at least stronger implications of their evil. Though during the final scene it was quite daring to show a child in a damn klans coat and hood… many conflicting feelings on this evidently… I guess it’s a triumph for 1950 but even then it just feels like the plot is suffocating beggingggg for more depth. But, again… seeing RONALD REAGAN cast in a movie about the KKK could make anybody’s heart drop… but ending this off on a positive note by saying it’s really nice to see Ginger and Doris in a movie together. I always thought they were similar in their acting (though I do think a mother/daughter casting would’ve worked better with them)

Doris delivers a magnificent performance and Rex Harrison delivers shit on a plate

War bond propaganda has never been so beautiful! Didn’t really care much about the romance plot at all but the cast is so grand nonetheless…. Very excited to see more Charlotte Greenwood movies… she’s so funny!!! Carmen Miranda is perfect…. Edward Everett Horton

I wish there was some #Berkeley Choreography like I expected (my fault obvi) but this was near perfect nonetheless. Doris Day is too charming Happy birthday my dear friend

I’m drunk as fuck and it’s safe to say Karen black delivers one of the best performances of all time (and u can tell she def studied actual trans ppl from time) … also I need her hair Asap thanks for listening y’all

Perfect movie. Perfect play. Joanne Woodward is undoubtedly one of the best actresses that’s ever touched the screen

Probably my favorite movie poster ever and the best early talkie I’ve ever seen. Helen Morgan was magnificent. I need to take a shower after viewing this though

I was absolutely loving this but the blackface number just made me sad 🤦‍♀️ everything else was really funny though I just wish 90% of old hollywood musicals didn’t have random racism

So pre-code and Edward Everett Horton is like maybe the funniest man ever. Marvelous homosexual… Maybe I’m just easily entertained but this made me laugh out loud so many times

Ruth Gordon is one of my favorite actresses so of course I had a good time with this… honestly surreal to me that upon release she still had so much of her career ahead of her. One thing I must note though is that you’d expect George Cukor of all people to utilize such a marvelous piece written by such a great playwright so much better than he did here. I can tell so much more could have been done with it so the fact it falls a bit flat is veryyy disappointing. & of course this would be 10/10 if Ruth were to have played herself, though I know another actress playing her is Kind of the whole point considering it was the same situation during the stage play too… Spencer Tracy is maybe the most boring actor of all time but luckily Jean Simmons charmed me in this… and I will always appreciate an Anthony Perkins appearance… just cute as pie 🥧
I do wish Jean nailed Ruth’s very distinct gestures and mannerisms though. Kind of was looking forward to how she’d do them just to see she didn’t at all… shame

This cast is everything I love amber heard… not even kidding she’s a Jane Fonda daughter

WHERE DO I FIND THIS WHERE DO I WATCH THIS DUDE😭😭

My little pop Dillon can’t be this expressive

I liked Mabel’s cuteness but like nothing happened

Dated in more ways than one but I love Joanne Woodward Sally field and Myrna Loy so whatever

I wanted to watch this a year and a half ago but never got to it but regardless I need to watch every single movie that falls under whatever this is because it’s marvelous... First 5 star first watch of 2025 btw…. Finally…

Watched on Sunday March 9, 2025.

I liked Laura linney and the little troubled son but everyone else was a bum and Jeff Daniels’ moe vibe caused me sadness in my soul

We were just having a laugh there

I need to watch every Berkeley musical I think. Wish there wasn’t random racism and just overall dated material here but! The waterfall sequence is marvelous

I was actually going to make note that I didn’t hate Ruby Keeler in this (which if you know me is crazy coming out of my mouth) but nope… she ends up doing… yellowface!

Ughhhh I always love movies based on plays with unstable marriages and this is no exception… of course Shirley Booth charmed me immensely and I’ll be completing her 6 movie filmography… stage actresses with unique voices are irresistible to me what can I say

Watched on Friday March 7, 2025.

I actually only listened to the commentary but whatever… the things Mike Nichols said about Anne made me so😢😢😢 though I do think he had a one sided relationship with her which😭 don’t piss me off gay little boy

I don’t even careeee such a marvelous satire it makes me so upset that males took this and turned it into something it isn’t

Carol Burnett directed by Lee Grant I mean sure… this is actually the first directorial work of hers I’ve seen though I meant to watch her documentaries when I had my mini moment with her 4/5 months ago… well anyway I love Carol Burnett and she’s the most special in the world… she was so cute in this bless her

I laughed out loud a lot

Watched on Tuesday March 4, 2025.

I paused this 20 minutes before it was over and slept for 3 hours safe to say this is boring

Plays out exactly like a dream and Mia Farrow is so special. Ever since seeing her on broadway (!) I’ve wanted to watch more of her movies… very excited!

Guess who’s finally back trying to complete Anne Bancroft’s filmography..! I actually attempted to watch this when I initially got into her but I fell asleep oopsies. Only settled on trying again because 50s New York is my life

Imagine The Roommate with Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone is on here…
When I say a few seconds I mean it. Some may be important to the plot and some may not be. For example, Such Good Friends literally only has a 3 second fantasy? Implication? That the main character slept with a woman. Only adding movies that have, from at least one of the women, genuine intent when it comes to the kiss scenes therefore there will be a lack of Old Hollywood here (knowing how there’s so many random kiss scenes between two women sometimes)... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE help me add onto this

• A Wedding
• Rachel, Rachel
• Such Good Friends
• Zee and Co.
• The Balcony

Obviously will add more onto this. Basing this off of current conversations revolving movies and ones I don’t see come up much (or at all).

She’s also played Jewish women multiple times on stage ….

  Her last name has stein in it so

• Broadway Bound
• Keeping the Faith
• Haven
• The Sunchaser

No coquettes allowed U demons… Mostly found through Zelda Hallman (her roommate), Getty Images/Alamy, Reddit, and interviews. Includes movies I assume are referenced in songs. I’m purposefully excluding PTA & Tarantino movies for the time being. They’re too obvious, and PTA was a shitcunt to her. Might eventually add notes, attempting to sort by release date (earliest being first). She’s also stated that she watches a lot of TCM, so I am using this to encourage you all to TCM, as they need to be especially protected right now as they suffered from a substantial cutback. Work in progress, of course; help is very much encouraged, etc.
