      I totally agree! The clothes, jewelry, men in those suits and ties, the cars, the music....takes me back and gives me a good feeling! (And no clumsy, embarrassing bedroom scenes. Just a good tight plot and great acting...) But goodness knows, I sure didn’t have a swimming pool in my backyard! 😆

      so true. not trying to push a current agenda of sexuality, not trying to deliberately place women in a position for the reason of feminism, not hurling in a curse word just so as to get a pg 13 rating. The funny thing is, this generation talks like women were somehow never depicted as strong until the lgbt community pushed for it. that's a lie. Katherine Hepburn Never played an idiot, Audrey plays a fem fatale. Lucille Ball played the joke, red skelton did as well. In real life Lucy was powerful. I don't know of an era where women were regularly badgered. its like the MAIN issue they have is women in any show where they are housewives. Or being saved by a male in some action story...
      THATS a lesbian "I am a man, and don't need a man" message. its not reality. In reality, women raise kids more than men ever have and ever will.
      But commercial after commercial shows women working, and a man carrying a baby in a baby holder. that's a deliberate effort. because the REALITY is, those actors were not raised that way. Women raised them

    What a treat to see the great character actor Jane Darwell as the landlady. I really don't understand all the negative remarks about Angela Lansbury's looks. I guess beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, because I've always thought she was quite stunning when she was young - and is a lovely older woman to this day. She had a gorgeous figure, lovely skin and hair and gorgeous eyes. Maybe not a classic beauty. but beautiful nonetheless...in my opinion at least.

      No? What did I misspell ? How do you know what she is paid? Men are stupid in the first place. She voted against Barbara Stanwyck in receiving an Oscar for "Sorry Wrong Number." Stanwyck is the best actress, the golden age, ever had to offer. But her "common" childhood of poverty, left a mark on the elite group surrounding Landsbury. You need to live closer to reality.

    I liked this movie because it takes me back in time. Even though it felt corny sometimes, I still enjoyed all the scenes of old L.A. and Pasadena. I felt sorry for Edward being played like that. A woman would never get that far so as to play a guy like that these days, but that is one reason why the movie was so interesting to me. I love the '50's cars, style of dress, houses, decor, furniture, etc.

I think the late 80s is when California really lost a lot of what made it magical. Or maybe not having seen it when my relatives moved there in the late 50s it just seems that way?

    Lansbury is an excellent actor but I think she excels at playing villains. In this role I see shades of Elenore Shaw from Manchurian Candidate which she would play almost 10 years later and imo is her greatest role.

      I'm with you, sister. Film noir is my kind of fun. Tough guys, and swell dames, femme fatales, et al, adrift in shadows and urban intrigue, seeking answers, romance, redemption, or a good blend of scotch.
      I enjoyed this one, never saw it. Impressive performances and a decent narrative. Sometimes a kiss and a simple cup of joe, can mean your undoing. Close one.
      Well, I gotta blow this joint, time to take it on the lam. I just heard Angela Lansbury calling. Great gal, but lethal, under the gravey. 😎

    The film in question exudes a palpable aura of nostalgia, drawing viewers into a world where black and white movies reign supreme. It's evident that the creators behind this cinematic masterpiece possess such a deep admiration and passion for the classics. Their commitment to capturing the essence of that bygone era is nothing short of remarkable. The monochromatic palette becomes a canvas on which emotions are painted with exquisite subtlety, reminiscent of a time when storytelling was an art form elevated to its zenith. Watching this film is like taking a thrilling journey through the annals of cinema history, where every frame is a testament to the enduring allure of black and white. In a world dominated by vibrant technicolor, this film is a poignant reminder of the timeless beauty that lies within the shadows of grayscale. And Ahh yes I enjoyed it too 😊

    What a beautiful actress! Pity that nowadays there is no beauty in Hollywood anymore. Just Lady Gaga, Kardashians and many other stars. All of them look so masculine. They have no talents as well. The main character actor is super as well. I like very much 'low budget' classic movies. Stunning actresses with feminine figures, nice dialogs, excellent camera works. People meet in small cafes, smoke, dance, drink. Always captivating. This brings the magic to cinema.

    The Kaiser Darrin, also known as the Kaiser Darrin 161 or in short as the Darrin, was an American sports car designed by Howard "Dutch" Darrin and built by Kaiser Motors for the 1954 model year. Essentially a revamp of Kaiser's Henry J compact, the Kaiser Darrin was one of its designer's final achievements and was noted for being the first American car equipped with a fiberglass body and doors that slid on tracks into the front fender wells. The car was named both for Henry J. Kaiser, head of Kaiser Motors, and Darrin.

    I a.m a huge Angela lansbury fan. Her acting shows that she was trained in the theatre.
