I wish I would have thought of that as well as Heaven Can Wait. Somewhere in Time is also an excellent choice, very sad and haunting.

You are right that many can do better in Drama (or vice versa with comedy) but, when they do comedy, it seems a bit out of place. <br />Yes, The wonderful Edna did die right after this film was done. She is one of my favourite character actresses. <br />I miss those times when the major networks did these types of films. I still have to see The Corn Is Green-both this version and the one with Betty Davis. <br />I just love Mclintock!<br />I almost went with The Philadelphia Story which works perfectly but, for some reason, I totally forgot about High Society which is also a gem.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-6733918517956785922022-02-20T14:32:10.114-05:002022-02-20T14:32:10.114-05:00Hepburn is so good in this filnm and she can give ...Hepburn is so good in this filnm and she can give "imperious" a run for its money:)).

The shame of it is that William Frawley would not let go of his role and kept showing up to work causing much conflagration. The studio finally would not allow him on the set. When I read that I felt bad for the guy. . Lydia is quite a good film with a twist at the end that I did not expect.

Granted, it's an awfully bittersweet ending but frankly, it's true to life. There's a reason that story has resonated so deeply over the generations. Sure, the writing, the acting, the filming are all exceptional. But at the end of the day, it's a heartache and a heartbreak most people can understand whether they've lived the particular scenario or not. We all understand tough choices, loss and regret. Trust me, those are all crucial elements to a second chance story!<br /><br />I have to mention our family favorite, too: The Philadelphia Story.<br /><br />Watch the director's cut of Cinema Paradiso sometime. I kind of wish I hadn't because it makes for quite a different story and I so dearly love the original as it is. But it fits this category.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-12554702791161645392022-02-19T14:50:19.242-05:002022-02-19T14:50:19.242-05:00Love Among the Ruins sounds intriguing and Kathryn...Love Among the Ruins sounds intriguing and Kathryn Hepburn is a classic isn't she?<br />Hope your weekend is a good one and you're feeling great.<br />HugsSandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-23887099356284405892022-02-19T14:03:30.490-05:002022-02-19T14:03:30.490-05:00I'm so clueless, I hadn't heard of any of ...I'm so clueless, I hadn't heard of any of these.<br />I do love the photo of your lovey dovey parents below.<br />Be well, sweetie.Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-17906730731752436892022-02-19T13:01:35.866-05:002022-02-19T13:01:35.866-05:00All of these are new to me, but I sure do enjoy c...All of these are new to me, but I sure do enjoy classics.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-89218175428749486782022-02-18T12:08:32.287-05:002022-02-18T12:08:32.287-05:00BIRGIT ~

Describing it as a Western Screwball Comedy is spot-on! Brilliant! I'd never really thought of it that way, but that's precisely what it is. I've often described it as almost a Western take on 'The Quiet Man'.<br /><br />Two comedies I like a lot that match this description are 'HEAVEN CAN WAIT' (1943) and 'AIRPLANE'.<br /><br />And then there's the romance 'SOMEWHERE IN TIME'. Unfortunately, though, that one doesn't have a "Happily Ever After" ending.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.
