Poigancy via memory is dead right. <BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for the compliment, I really appreciate it!Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-5220209368984457162008-01-06T10:51:00.000-08:002008-01-06T10:51:00.000-08:00Mr. Peel:I'd have to agree with you on More AG, bu...Mr. Peel:<BR/>I'd have to agree with you on More AG, but for me, it does have at least one wonderful and touching moment: In the circa-1968 segment, Mackenzie Phillips is slow dancing with a Milner-esque greaser and her two friends are watching.<BR/>Friend 1: "Who is she dancing with? Ewww!" (sorry I'm paraphrasing)<BR/>Friend 2: "I dunno. She always goes for that type..."<BR/>Then the camera slow zooms back to Mackenzie and the greaser, as the (by 1968) anachronistic doo-wop song fades (or at least, that's how I remember it), the stroll through the auto graveyard between Milner and young Mackenzie in AG comes to mind. <BR/>Poigancy via memory, I suppose...<BR/><BR/>Great site, BTW, keep up the good work!<BR/>--IvanIvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16443946766217092846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-62325822829217520252008-01-05T20:10:00.000-08:002008-01-05T20:10:00.000-08:00While you're at it, pick up the 1981 remake with J...While you're at it, pick up the 1981 remake with Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen.

Maybe Bette Davis movies are never first on my list of titles to check out, but I see this one is directed by the great Vincent Sherman, so I'm sure it's worth a look.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-17705796538910873702008-01-04T22:00:00.000-08:002008-01-04T22:00:00.000-08:00Happy New Year Mr. Peel.

Hope 2008 is tantalizing for you.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen More AG, but I would like to add the Bette Davis/Miriam Hopkins <I>Old Acquaintances</I> as a New Year's film we should think of. That last scene, when they end up together in front of the fire, eschewing the big party that's going on, is one for the ages. At least for the distaff side.Mapeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149683683413237283noreply@blogger.com
