He does bette Davis so well i love it

Aspiring folk singer in the 1950s would be an ideal way to meet girls!

I liked this movie great cast and I wanted a brass clock ⏰ like the one in the Captains study

Love your style! Just that in the 2018 Monty bio it was cleared up that he could actually remember his lines in seconds actually. Some Hollywood people then accused him of these for no reason or just due to homophobia. He is always super dedicated to his crafts.

An outstanding talent...just wish we would have seen more of her on films.

I loved this movie.

This is one movie that I can watch over and over. Each time, I pick up a different perspective.

Steve mentions All The King’s Men. I thought that movie was excellent. I’ve been binge watching all of Steve’s videos. I hope he covers that movie.

Classic!!!!!!

Put this DVD on to play all day, what Christmas spirit! Love it so much!! Thank you Steve, and Johnny too!! You always make me happy!😊❤❤

Your dvd of Kinsey is prominent. I hope you get around to giving us your review. I LOVE Laura Linney in it.

Back in 2002 the AFI made a documentary about romantic movies called "100 Years, 100 Passions" and had different celebrities introduce them in short segments. This movies fell somewhere in the fifties and Harvey Korman & Tim Conway introduced it. Korman: "This is a classic with a beautiful Montgomery Clift falling in love with beautiful Elizabeth Taylor and needing to get rid of his pregnant wife." Conway: "Would you leave your wife for Elizabeth Taylor?" Korman: "Are you kidding? I'd leave MY wife for Shelley Winters!" One of the few times I ever saw Korman crack Conway up.

You should mention it has one of the most exciting horse races ever filmed.

No clips?

Probably my least favorite of your reviews. Why? Because it's completely unnecessary and people requesting it only wish to her their own opinions coming out of your mouth. Everyone likes this movie and its production is so famous that movies have been made about it so not much more to really add despite it being iconic in the gay community. However it is a RIOT watching you going full camp with it 👅

Oh baby ... where do we begin? I have loved this movie since I first saw it and I'm so glad you got around to giving us your opinion. Elizabeth's method of coping with her moarning wasn't so odd when you consider that she was a consumate actress who would have stepped over Todd's corpse without missing a syllable in her line. The biggest joy of this film was hating on Sister Woman. Madeline Sherwood was an astounding person and I'll always have great respect for her. (She also looks exactly like a family friend), however, much as I like Jack Carson as Gooper and despite his excellent performance, I feel he was to old for that part. I have always held that the conservative faction at the time really liked folk singing Burl Ives but wouldn't dare show their association for ANY movie which approached the taboo subject of homosexuality so they flipped it for The Big Country (which he's just as good in).

I have never heard such venom spewed as when Joan called Vera Miles a slut in Autumn Leaves. And this was 1956!!!!

I am a film buff and will practically watch nearly anything from Alien (1980) to XXyy (2007) . I saw Peyton Place about 5 years ago but new nothing about it going into it and I must say... the acting is superb and the scandal is polarizing. This is a classic that everyone should see along with Pride and Prejudice (1940) and Gone with the Wind (1939).

The movie would have been better with expanding joan crawford part.

Once again from Australia absolutely LOVE you TOQATM, you 2 are the BEST xx

I used to pick up a friend in NYC who was & still is a drag queen for a couple of summers & brought him out to the Fire Island ferry & we'd joke about the Coco Peru line "It Burns".😏 He met Clinton & others over the years as well as Jesse Volt & others from what I remember. You meet so many out at the grove Steve, ya know.🤷‍♂ Anyway, you were all great in the movie & it came out at a time when queer cinema was still finding it's place in society.

One of your very best reviews, Steve - and that's saying a lot! Your insight into the essence of the play, the differences between Brooks and Kazan, Williams's opinions on the film versions, details of the supporting cast - well, everything. I'm addicted to your reviews! Humor, insight, background. Thank you so much!

Red River is absolutely one of the best westerns ever!!! ❤

I saw when i was a kid and I thought those kids were really bratty recently i saw a clip of Elizabeth Taylor smashing ice cream in that brats face someone commented on UA-cam "Imagine all those homely kids at the audition ".

Love this movie. Love Errol Flynn. There’s a scene where one of his men is sent to look for the man sent to kill King Richard and is hurt. In the background, if you watch carefully, you’ll see a black sedan pass across the shot. Gotta love the movies!!!

I remember when Gene Kelly died, NBC Nightly News played the whole Singing in the Rain dance segment at the end of the newscast to honor him. I cried through the whole thing. I love that movie. Never gets old. Love your reviews, too! They don’t get old either. 😊

Brilliant review. So informative. Thank you. ❤

When Mike Todd died, Taylor left the film from March 12th through April 14th. And Williams did NOT write Big Daddy for Burl Ives.

What is your favorite action film of the 90s have you seen ones like the rock, con air and Independence Day do you like those?

Dear Steve, I hope this response reaches you, because I remember this film when it appeared on television long ago, and spent my time thanking God I'd only had male bosses who, however appalling, hadn't been anything like Joan Crawford. She's terrifying in this! I like all the young actresses very much (poor Suzy Parker seems to have broken every bone in her body at one time or another) and always especially admired Diane Baker. Please excuse my going off topic (as so often) because I wanted to comment re the Elizabeth Taylor tapes which you saw and recently wrote told us nothing new. But apparently Elizabeth talks about having been so wretched at one time she attempted suicide, and I've kept my mouth shut about this since 1961, which is an all-time record for me. In my teens I was in an amateur film unit, because I wanted to learn about writing for and making films (I even learned how to edit and splice film in the way it used to be done back then). The father of a friend in the unit was an eminent doctor, and when Elizabeth nearly died of pneumonia and had to have a tracheotomy, he said every doctor in the world knew she must have tried to commit suicide, because that kind of pneumonia only occurred for that reason in someone of her age. Debbie Reynolds didn't deserve Eddie Fisher and clearly Elizabeth Taylor found out she didn't either. I'm so glad they both survived being married to him. Best wishes, Alida

I love it when Hepburn is describing Rosamund; she said something akin to "She had unusually even teeth, but she smiled to excess." I cannot recall the exact line, but it was hysterical.

Loved this movie...

I believe Crawford had difficult time with her “fellow” female actresses because they all knew Joan Crawford trans woman.

Love Barbara Stanwyck! She probably would've come to your house to deliver the photo's if you'd asked her in your FOUR page letter lol. You're too wonderful!

Lol. My late husband was a vascular surgeon. He could put a person back together and sew a button on in nothing flat too! He loved classical music and always had it playing in his OR. The 50's were so repressed. Still lots of work to do, but at least we're past this stupidity.

You look so polished and handsome....just like Cary Grant in this movie! And just as wryly funny too!

Yes!

Actually, the movie was remade in 1991.

Saw this on TV as a child and it scared the daylights out of me.

Brilliant movie… Joan should have been nominated for supporting, and I can only imagine seeing them both on Hush Hush sweet Charlotte. Thank you, Steve!

RIP

❤❤❤❤❤

John Wayne was in fact the "Otto" of the movie!

Dark Passage is by far my favorite Bogart movie due to the onscreen chemistry between him and Bacall, cinematography, cast etc. - even though it has its implausibilities like for example Madge Rapf not recognizing Perry right away and so on.

I highly recommend her autobiography. Ms. Swanson was a woman of many talents and interests - from health foods to supporting inventors during WW2, in business, TV, radio and so on. If that’s not impressive enough- she was Joan Crawford’s idol! When JC and Stanwyck worship you that’s ultimate divadom!

Very, very late to this video. I have no excuse outside of work.

Steve, this was DELIGHTFUL to watch, after having seen THE GREAT LIE just now for the first time. I KNEW you'd done a review of this one! Thanks.

Is there a reason why Broadway plays (especially Tennessee Williams plays) could get away with talking about gay stuff?
