Thank you very much for adding me to your "Further Distractions" section and for your kind words!

I'll admit I missed the first 10 minutes, but I was riveted for the rest of it; it was a fun little woman-in-peril kind melodrama. I'm glad your review gave me the opportunity to watch it; thanks! Also, I've added Via Margutta 51 as one of the recommended blogs in the "Further Distractions" section of my blog "Tales of the Easily Distracted," because your blog is always a delight to read.

Yes, I really liked "I wake up screaming", so intriguing :) Uhm, I haven't seen "Footsteps in the Dark", I reviewed "Cry Wolf" (with Errol and Barbara Stanwyck), but your description made me want to see it soon! ^^ Thanks for visiting my blog, girl!Clarahttp://www.via-51.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-2192214454723819652011-07-01T14:12:10.406-04:002011-07-01T14:12:10.406-04:00Clara, I loved your mini-reviews, and I'm happ...Clara, I loved your mini-reviews, and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed I WAKE UP SCREAMING; glad you found my recommendation to be a good one! :-) By the way, I did check out Errol Flynn's 1941 comedy-mystery FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARK on TCM, and I found it to be light-hearted fun, with Flynn a hoot as a writer by night and a sleuth and banker by day. His in-and-out accent as he tries to convince burlesque queen Lee Patrick that he's a Texas millionaire cracked me up! :-)DorianTBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-15885760468415039282011-06-30T21:53:52.161-04:002011-06-30T21:53:52.161-04:00I haven't seen *I Wake Up Screaming* but I hav...I haven't seen *I Wake Up Screaming* but I have seen the nearly identical remake (from what I hear) starring Jeanne Crain and Jean Parker.

The way Barbara Stanwyck played it is just perfect and funny. "This above all" is entertaining and I liked how Joan and Ty worked together.

I loved MY REPUTATION when I saw it but found I didn't remember much about that clip at all -- Stanwyck is so good conveying a variety of emotions in it. I have to rewatch that one! <br /><br />THIS ABOVE ALL is in my stack to watch soon -- it's the only film in a boxed set of Tyrone Power films I haven't seen yet.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these movies!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLauranoreply@blogger.com
