I couldn't get my temp down and I barely could walk. I was in horrible pain. I think the way the determined it was with the procedure where I drank that awful radioactive stuff and they actually took images like an x-ray but I really didn't know it until I was back in the hospital the second time. That's when I had surgery to remove 18 inches of my intestines to fix the problem. Be very careful what you eat. If you can get foods that are very easy to digest and bland. Saying prayers for you darlin'!

Kay Francis is a forgotten star, same with Constance Bennet. They were both big stars in the early 30s. <br />I wanted to pick Russell as well but I couldn't find a vehicle I saw where she was the boss. <br />I have not seen the Hayward film but that one sounds good too.<br />I thought you liked Ruth Roman because I always liked her and she stands put in this film even though she is not the main star.<br />I think you are right that they should have name the Day film the way it was meant to be and not Twinkle!. I still enjoyed the romp.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-43338539918230196412022-07-21T12:48:47.687-04:002022-07-21T12:48:47.687-04:00Yes, that's a great choice and a movie i can ...Yes, that's a great choice and a movie i can rewatch over and over despite Meryl Streep in this movie.

These are all great movies and I loved the Carol Burnett clip too. ☺ Faye Dunaway in Network, Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl and Meryl Streep in the Devil Wears Prada come to mind. They were all considered bitches, but then, so was I during my corporate world stint. I considered it a testament to my abilities. ☺Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-35761451275010761582022-07-21T11:34:09.565-04:002022-07-21T11:34:09.565-04:00Birgit I'm so sorry to hear your procedure wen...Birgit I'm so sorry to hear your procedure went awry!! It's never the most pleasant thing to have done but usually the prep is worse than the rest. Hope the next goes smoothly!! <br /><br />Now to your films. I ADORE everything about Mildred Pierce!! Joan is sensational, Ann Blyth hissably repellent, Eve Arden divine, Jack Carson marvelous, Zachary Scott smarm personified and little Jo Ann Marlowe wonderful as youngest daughter Kay. She was a natural, I've always wondered why she didn't go further in her career. <br /><br />It's been quite some time since I've seen The Far Country but I remember liking it and I am a HUGE Ruth Roman fan! I'll have to track it down and revisit it. Thanks for the memory jog. :-)<br /><br />I think that awful title probably did have something to do with Doris's film tanking at the box office. The original "That Jane from Maine" is far more intriguing. I do have to say that even though I enjoyed it and love both Dodo and Jack Lemmon they just didn't have the chemistry that I would have expected as a romantic couple. That might have played into the film's initial lackluster performance as well. <br /><br />A fun theme! My very first thought was that there could be a full list of just Rosalind Russell boss lady movies since the woman in charge was her comic niche in 40's film. But aside from her 1942 starrer "Take a Letter, Darling" she didn't technically play the boss, more a litany of newspaperwomen, judges, lawyers and competent secretaries always in charge but not a boss per se. But the one I mentioned is a cute rom/com with advertising exec Roz, and her mile high hair, running male secretary Fred MacMurray ragged until the inevitable clinch. <br /><br />The other two that occurred to me are the saucy 1932 Kay Francis pre-code film Man Wanted. Married Kay's a magazine editor who hires a random man as her secretary, complications ensue in all directions. <br /><br />The other is a 1957 is the 1957 comedy Top Secret Affair with Susan Hayward and Kirk Douglas (it was supposed to costar Bogie and Bacall, but they had to withdraw when Bogart's cancer worsened and he died shortly after.) Susan is a powerful media maven who sets out to expose Kirk as unworthy when he is appointed to a government post that she wanted to go to one of her cronies sending her quislings running to get the dirt on him. Problem is there is no dirt and things don't go as Susie had planned. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-52873102270943241222022-07-21T11:30:41.532-04:002022-07-21T11:30:41.532-04:00Meryl Streep (ugh!) in The Devil Wears Prada was m...Meryl Streep (ugh!) in The Devil Wears Prada was my first thought.
