Usually home made buttered popcorn and a darkened room...but I don't remember seeing this one. I'm sure that I would have remembered it. Thank you for sharing it now because I love to have something good to watch. Lately most movies bore me to death!

Even the book does, that woman is so evil.<br /> <br />Have you ever seen "Mildred Pierce" with Joan Crawford? That might be one of my favorite movies ever - and JC doesn't even play the villan.

I never much cared for black and white films...they seemed to boring compared to color. However, one time I watched a show about how black and white films were made. They said that sometimes the actual colors of the clothes (or whatever) might be the worst possible combinations, but, it would make the perfect contrast in black and white. That's when I started to appreciate B & W films. (And, they are sooo much scarrier!)Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428797675882725547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-67451609254581910312011-09-21T19:31:36.315+01:002011-09-21T19:31:36.315+01:00Good evening Diane.
