watched almost entirely because prior walter from angels in america named his cat little sheba, haha. really more of a 3 than a 3 1/2, but the historical context of it being made in 1952 elevates the thin plot — an older wife with a younger husband! a woman sketching a scantily clad man as he poses for her! they even say the word “s*x”!!! i would’ve fainted in ye ol’ picture palace

Shirley Booth absolutely obliterates Jessica Lange's "daddy-per-minute" record for an Oscar-winning performance. 48 daddies!

In my Birdman of Alcatraz review, I discussed how if I could only watch one classic actor’s films, it would be Burt Lancaster’s. The choice goes beyond acting talent, and choice of roles, and directors worked with. It also speaks to the generosity of him as an actor. We talk about this in sports, another endeavor that relies on teamwork. Why did great players like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, and Andre Dawson never win titles? Was it bad luck, or the era they played in, or did it have something to do with their ability and willingness to share the spotlight, and make their teammates better?
It’s an unanswerable question, in some instances, but I think the answer is clear…

Where is there to look when there's no future? Do you keep hope for a lost cause, or do you drown yourself in the sorrow of it all?
A dead dog, a dead marriage, and a reminder of what could have been.
Happiness isn't guaranteed, its a destination, somewhere you work to be.
Doing the same thing over and expecting different results, that's not love, but a sick compulsion for a commitment.
Committed, rejected and lonely.

Kind of depressing and boring with a weird message, but Shirley Booth does a wonderful job!

Shirley Booth calls Burt Lancaster 'daddy' about 40 times over the course of this movie.
With how romanticized the 1950s have become in popular culture (for better or for worse), it's certainly interesting how that decade became so closely associated with suburban dramas about failed ambition, disillusionment, and suburban malaise (think Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, etc.). Come Back, Little Sheba isn't necessarily one of the more immediately cutting films, but in retrospect it is one of the more daring, with its focus on sexuality and implied hopelessness even if the alcoholism and 'loose morals' feel pretty tame by comparison. The core of the film is Booth's performance and her interesting character, eager but almost childish in…

غريب، أليس كذلك ؟ كيف يمكن للإنسان أن يعتاد على نوع معين من البؤس.
فيلم درامي كان ثقيل علي ومليان مشاعر دفينة وحزن مكتوم بين الشخصيات من أول مشهد حسيت إنه في شيء مفقود جوّا البيت البسيط والعادي لكن مليان هموم وأحلام ضايعة مبدأيًا القصة بالفيلم تدور عن زوجين دوك ولولا يعيشون حياة هاديه جدًا بس هالهدوء مجرد قناع يخفي تحته جروح نفسية عميقة صاحبنا دوك كان عنده أحلام وطموحات بحياته لكنه علق بعد زواجه من لولا خصوصًا إنه كان زواج سريع وغير مدروس لولا نتكلم من جهتها هي شخصية محبوبة عفوية وبسيطة انا حبيتها واستلطفتها ولكن قلبها مليان ندم على الماضي والخسارات اللي عاشتها يوم بعد يوم الشخصيات تحاول تعيش على أطراف الذاكرة والباقي يتحول لنسيانالعرض كان قوي…

TW: mentions of abuse
I'm really struggling with this one, so I'm going to start with some of the things I find easier to delve into.
I watched "The Rose Tattoo" with the same director (Daniel Mann) and the same leading man (Burt Lancaster) a few weeks back. I liked it better than this, likely due to Tennessee Williams' writing, but also due to the fact that "The Rose Tattoo" should not work at all, and sort of doesn't, but it makes for a wonderfully emotional and absurd movie. Anna Magnani is enchanting and heartbreaking, and Lancaster is in one of his weirdest roles and one that is absolutely outside of his typical typecasting. And there's a reason he didn't…

Jesus, what a fever dream of a movie. This movie came out in 1952 and was basically just a straight drama, but viewed through a current lens it’s a nightmare. If this came out today, it would absolutely be an A24 produced psychological thriller/horror.
In a nutshell - and the way it was intended - Burt Lancaster is an alcoholic who has one year sober, and Shirley Booth (who you may recognize as the voice of Mrs. Claus in the Rankin/Bass movies) is his chatty stay-at-home wife. He’s a chiropractor and goes to AA in a suit, she’s let herself go and doesn’t clean up much. They don’t seem to have a whole lot in common, and they rent a…

Tonight I decided to rip my heart into a million pieces by watching this movie again. I had tried to write about it before, but feeling that my words couldn’t do it justice I gave up, and left a little note in lieu of a review saying I would try again some day. (I’m still not sure that I am capable of writing the review this film deserves, but I don’t want to put it off for another viewing so I will at least write something.)
The story is simple on its face. A “mismatched” married couple takes on a female college student as a boarder. Her presence becomes the catalyst for hidden resentments and regrets to come to the surface. The…
