We must see it. I'm totally...That sounds awesome! We must see it. I'm totally excited about the hairspray bit. Also, I'm currently watching <I>Sex and the Single Girl</I> on TV. It also has a very strong relationship to <I>Down With Love</I>. It stars Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Henry Fonda, and Lauren Bacall. I tuned in in the middle, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on but Natalie Wood seems to play a sex psychologist and a newspaper reporter (Curtis) is investigating her and poses as a stocking manufacturer (Henry Fonda) married to Lauren Bacall. Fonda gets arrested for bigamy when Curtis convinces several people to pose as his wife; It's quite fun, although utterly lacking in Doris Day.Violet Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558684142279615771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13991978.post-1122936630645729942005-08-01T15:50:00.000-07:002005-08-01T15:50:00.000-07:00it was really quite spectacular. Every time I tune...it was really quite spectacular. Every time I tuned back in there was something even more improbable going on. And there was <I>amazing</I> use of color. In this one scene, Richard Harrison was waiting for Doris in a cafe. In the wide shots the whole cafe was brown, except for the chairs, which were little splotches of yellow. Then the camera shifted to Doris walking down the street--and again, everything behind her was brown, in contrast to her bright yellow raincoat. Then the camera pulled further back, and the two fields of brown with yellow spots merged into one. Brilliant.PMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859373169517442483noreply@blogger.com
