I loved this movie in my teens and was not expecting that reaction, but on revisiting, I found his bizarre over-acting a complete turn off. Yes he was brilliant at screwball comedy. But this was like screwball on speed. So, I have to agree with him. Which saddens me. I still adore the movie, but I just wish there was a dial I could turn down whenever CG starts mugging and double-taking :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124488403911851574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535698675045986569.post-8651637334821866932013-10-21T20:30:17.429-07:002013-10-21T20:30:17.429-07:00Like so many in our community, I'm here simply...Like so many in our community, I'm here simply as a community service servant to all of us fellow "classic movie weirdos" who yearn to learn more about our fave films and movie stars, right?? lol.

However, it's the oddity that appeals most to me--such as the ruse the sisters use to gain Teddy's assistance with burying corpses in the basement.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535698675045986569.post-73738228455281565652013-10-11T18:54:09.555-07:002013-10-11T18:54:09.555-07:00Great write up, Kellee.

It's one of those movies you can watch over and over. My favorite characters are Jonathan and Dr. Einstein. So creepy and funny.garyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412462831058697522noreply@blogger.com
