Week 10 - Favourite classic.
There are a few that I consider my favorite. I guess it depends on what the definition of classic is, also. The older I get, the more that things become "classic" or "oldies." Nice...'eh, whatever.
One is How To Marry a Millionaire with Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall. Its a very cute movie about three female friends who move to NYC in the hopes to well, marry a millionaire. Here's the trailer for the film in 1953...
Another one of my favorites is a movie called A Woman Under The Influence. I only recently (in the last couple of years) even knew about the film. It was written and produced by John Cassavetes and stars Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk. Rowlands has always been one of my favorite actresses. As the story goes, Cassavetes wrote the screenplay specifically for Rowlands to play. (They are married) She plays "Mabel" a young wife/mother with mental issues and struggles with alcoholism. Apparently Cassavetes wanted to do a Broadway Play version of it but Gena Rowlands refused to. She said that the constant portrayal of Mabel would drive her mad. (I could understand that) And who doesn't like Peter Falk? He plays Nick Longhetti, Mabel's husband. If you can find it, well worth watching!
