The movie really doesn't do justice to the original show, but Lilly Tomlin was terrific as Miss Hathaway.

She certainly looks like Miss Jane.

Funny as I aged... I found Miss Hathaway kinda.... well ***y. An agressive older woman who was using what she had to git what she wanted.... I find that alluring.... in retrospect.... Ellie Mae would've broken bones and fed me to the critters.... And no, I'm neither blind nor an escapee from the laughing academy. Well at least the first parts right.

But Ellie Mae would have been worth it.

Two Dollar Bettor (Jack Broder Productions, 1951), a real low budgeter about the evils of gambling (on the horses, in this case), with John Litel, Marie Windsor, and Steve Brodie. Litel, who steals money from the bank he works for in order to satiate his gambling passion, is a bit too old for the role (he thinks that much younger Windsor has the hots for him), and really goes over the top a couple of times, complete with hip gyrations and bulging eyes...Also contains a couple of scenes of ridiculously square teen-agers dancing, and a surprisingly inept performance by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer as a high school athlete. Windsor is a honey, though, and Brodie is smooth as her con-man boyfriend.

Lawyer Man (1932) with William Powell and Joan Blondell. A bit saucy during the first half, but settled down for the second half.

Barefoot is better.

"Safety Not Guarenteed" - C - Good premise hampered by lunch money budget. I enjoyed it but don't go out of your way to find it.

Watched "Casablanca" again. Hadn't seen it in a couple of years.

I also watched the documentary about the movie that was an extra on my DVD. The scene where the Germans are singing "Die Wacht am Rhein" and Laslo strikes up the band, with Rick's permission, to play "Marseillaise" always brings tears to my eyes. I mean, no matter how many times I see that movie I'm bawling as bad as the chick at the bar yelling "Viva La France!" So in this documentary they are interviewing different people involved in what eventually became the movie and one of them is the original playwrite who wrote "Everybody Comes to Rick's" (Murray Burnette). He says that when he was writing that scene for the play, he was moved to tears. He's there typing and bawling as bad as me and old whats her name at the bar.

BTW, IMHO, as much as the movie is a classic, I think I like "To Have and Have Not" better. A big reason - Hoagy Carmichael. But, nothing in TH&HN makes me blubber like the aforementioned Marseillaise scene.

I guess I am one of the silent majority that is glad to see a new M in charge. In reality, during WWII, Ian Fleming was essentially M for T-Force. He helped nurture it along and make it into the indispensable information gathering unit it was. I would like to see the new M be an Ian Fleming kind of character.

Now that you mention it, Ralph Fiennes does have sort of an Ian Fleming look to him! I can easily imagine him playing IF in a biopic.
