”An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words. ~Sanford Meisner Following a whirlwind courtship, acclaimed playwright Myra Hudson (Joan Crawford) marries Lester Blaine (Jack Palance), a slick actor (are there any other kind?) she has just fired from her latest play. Shortly after the honeymoon, Myra overhears Lester and his lover, Irene (Gloria Grahame), plotting to murder the wealthy writer for her inheritance. As you do. Sudden Fear is a 1952 American film noir directed by David Miller, and starring Joan Crawford and Jack Palance in a tale about a successful woman who marries a murderous man. The screenplay by Lenore J.

Jack Palance and Joan Crawford in Sudden Fear (David Miller, 1952) Cast: Joan Crawford, Jack Palance, Gloria Grahame, Bruce Bennett, Virginia Huston, Mike Connors. Screenplay: Lenore J. Coffee, Robert Smith, based on a story by Edna Sherry. Cinematography: Charles Lang. Art direction: Boris Leven. Film editing: Leon Barsha. Music: Elmer Bernstein. Joan Crawford could play almost anything but soft, but then she never had to -- I suspect she saw to that. What she could do instead was play vulnerable, though you often felt a twinge of sympathy for the person who was attacking her, knowing that she had ways of getting more than even. David Miller's Sudden Fear is a revenge drama, and one of the best. Crawford's Myra Hudson is a playwright who uses her skills at contriving a plot to get even with her cheating, murderous husband, Lester Blaine (Jack Palance). Her plot goes awry, but fate gives her a hand anyway. What Crawford knew how to do better than almost anyone was to play off her two most notable facial features, her enormous eyes and her strong mouth and jaw, in alternation. So when Myra is falling in love with Lester, the eyes tell us everything we need to know; when the truth about her husband is revealed, the eyes grow moist and anguished and the mouth and jaw tremble; and when she sets out to take her revenge, the mouth grows hard and the jaw firm. Crawford learned this kind of control in silent movies and used it effectively throughout her long career. Changing tastes in acting, abetted by parodies of Crawford's performances, have made recent generations see her performing style as mannered, though critics have begun to re-evaluate and praise her real acting gifts. Crawford and her co-star, Palance, received Oscar nominations. With his knobby, death's-head face and carnivorous grin, Palance initially seems like an odd choice for a leading man -- as Myra Hudson herself acknowledges when she fires him from her play -- but he's hugely effective in the role of faux swain and greedy menace.

I first saw it, ages ago and I had forgotten about it.

After I saw it again, I was thinking, 'OK, I saw that one, years ago.’

Bette and Brent were frequent film co-stars, at Warner Bros., 11 films, total, including the classics, 'Jezebel', and Dark Victory. I love the screenwriter's name.☕️This film is a good 'potboiler' melodrama, a classic. It's an interesting, fairly 'adult' plot, for 1941. I won't spoil it. Lots of typical old movie smoking .🚬🚬Bette was a chimney, but still lived to age 81. A great weekend popcorn movie. It's on DVD.

The Great Lie is a 1941 American drama film directed by Edmund Goulding, and starring Bette Davis, George Brent and Mary Astor. The screenplay by Lenore J. Coffee is based on the novel January Heights by Polan Banks.

COVID-19 Reading Log, part 3

Parts One and Two

16. An Astounding Atlas of Altered States by Michael J. Trinklein. I’ve actually read this book before but hadn’t realized it until I got started—its first edition was titled simply Lost States. It’s a coffee table book. Each double page spread has one map depicting the proposed or presumed boundaries of a piece of territory that never became a US state, and the other page is information on the history of that non-state. Most of them fall into three categories—attempts to carve up Western territories that didn’t make it (for values of the west as far east as the Appalachian Mountains, because some of these are from the 1700s), splits to existing states due to interstate politics, or overseas territories, either those actually owned by the USA (Puerto Rico, the Marshall Islands) or not (Greenland, Newfoundland). I would be just as interested, if not more so, in a more in depth approach to the subject (maybe focusing on a smaller number of candidates).

17. Written in Bones edited by Paul Bahn. This is a primer to forensic archaeology, in the form of a number of short articles about a variety of sites involving human remains. This is the first book I’ve read so far I would consider genuinely bad. Here’s why: a number of controversial topics are covered, but poorly (I will share some of these claims in parentheticals—note that these are not my claims, but the book’s). The coverage runs from being dismissive of the controversy (e.g. the butchered remains found among Anasazi dwellings are absolutely not evidence of cannibalism, and anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant) to ignoring the existence of any controversy at all (e.g. Kennewick Man is definitely not related to modern Native American groups and syphilis definitely existed in Europe before the Columbian Exchange). It claims that two skeletons found in the Tower of London, which haven’t been scientifically examined since the 1930s, are almost certainly the lost sons of Edward IV, supposedly murdered by Richard III. On top of that, several articles use outdated and super-racist terminology, like splitting human populations into “Negroid”, “Caucasoid” and “Mongoloid”. And these are just things that I noticed, and I’m by no means an expert. What else could this book be misleading about, or what outright lies is it telling? Skip this one.

18. Fantastic Archaeology by Stephen Williams. This book was chosen in part with the intention of washing the bad taste of Written in Bones out of my mouth, which it succeeded in doing. The focus of the book is on pseudoscientific takes on the archaeology of pre-contact Native Americans and various claims for pre-Columbian European expeditions to North America. The Kensington Rune Stone, Prince Madoc and various Lost Tribes related forgeries are taken to task here. The author is clearly an expert, both on the actual archeology and on the frauds, cranks and rogue professors (the author’s coinage) that appear. The final chapter is a lengthy survey of the state of the art knowledge of what actual pre-Columbian North American cultures were like, based on the evidence when the book was written (early 1990s).

19. Dinosaur Facts and Figures: The Theropods and Other Dinosauriformes by Rubén Molina-Pérez and Asier Larramendi. This book is right on the borderland between being a popular and technical volume. It’s mostly data—lengths of dinosaurs, drawings of bones, footprints and eggs, estimates for weights and speeds—but it’s sold at popular literature prices (aka reasonable for a 250 page book with color illustrations). The focus is on the largest and smallest theropods, sorted first by clade, and then chronologically. The real selling points here are the thoroughness and the art. Unusually for anything approaching the popular sphere, dinosaurs discussed in depth include animals not formally described, ichnotaxa and ootaxa (that’s names based on footprints and eggs, respectively), and various nomen dubia (specimens with doubtful or useless names attached). Some of the animals in the book are getting full life reconstructions in print for the first time, and there’s definitely species and specimens I’d never heard of throughout. The book is translated from Spanish, and there are a few places where the translation is awkward or missed a word or two. It’s the first in a three part series—the book on sauropods and their relatives releases later this year, and I am looking forward to it.

20. Lost Feast by Lenore Newman. The book is on the subject of culinary extinction, the loss of species or cultivars eaten by humans. The author is a food researcher and the book straddles the line between cultural history and ecology. Some of the losses are from overharvesting (e.g. passenger pigeons and fisheries), some are from market forces (e.g. the reduction of plant cultivars) and others are from a combination of factors, not fully understood (like colony collapse disorder). The titular feast is a series of dinner parties held throughout the book in honor of losses and featuring near misses (pear cultivars are a running theme). This book is also a milestone for this particular project—this is my last (physical) library book! All of the libraries in my area are closed due to quarantine.

Sister Act: The Four Daughters Franchise by Jessica Pickens

In Hollywood, when a film formula works, the studio repeats it. Warner Bros. did just this—three times—after the success of the film FOUR DAUGHTERS (‘38). This film adaptation of Fannie Hurst’s short story “Sister Act,” was originally published in Cosmopolitan magazine in the March 1937 issue. With a screenplay brought to life by Lenore Coffee and Julius J. Epstein, Four Daughters focuses on a music professor widower named Adam Lemp (Claude Rains) and his four daughters, Thea, Kay, Ann and Emma — played by real life sisters Lola, Rosemary and Priscilla Lane and Warner Bros. contract player Gale Page respectively. When Felix Deitz (Jeffrey Lynn), a young composer and conductor, comes to live with the family, all four daughters fall in love with him but Felix loves the youngest daughter, Ann (Priscilla). A young drifter and musician named Mickey Borden (John Garfield) also comes to stay with the family and works with Felix. Mickey also falls for Ann.

FOUR DAUGHTERS made John Garfield a star and created the opportunity for several follow-up films. DAUGHTERS COURAGEOUS (‘39) followed with a nearly identical cast (with the addition of Donald Crisp and Fay Bainter) and even the same director, Michael Curtiz. It wasn’t a sequel but was as “Dissimilar but alike as much as possible,” according to Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film by Alan K. Rode.

FOUR WIVES (‘39), also directed by Curtiz, came next as Ann Lemp deals with the loss of her husband, being pregnant with his child and moving on to a new relationship. The other sisters, Emma and Thea, are both married and wanting to become mothers as Kay falls in love with a young doctor, played by Eddie Albert.

While some film sequels aren’t great, FOUR WIVES complement FOUR DAUGHTERS. I like how the story looks at the emotional struggle of relationships and loss. The Lemp family and their romances aren’t perfect, but they work together to help each other. FOUR WIVES leaves off with the sisters and their new babies, leaving room for a final film: FOUR MOTHERS (1941), which was the last film pairing of the Lane sisters and Gail Page.

FOUR MOTHERS was the only film of the trio that wasn’t directed by Curtiz. Directed by William Keighley, the film is not only about motherhood, but also looks at the struggles of home life and finances. After the series ended, the careers of Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola Lane all ended before 1950, when each decided to retire from acting. Gale Page continued acting in films and on television until 1964.

Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins in Old Acquaintance (Vincent Sherman, 1943) Cast: Bette Davis, Miriam Hopkins, John Loder, Gig Young, Dolores Moran, Phillip Reed, Roscoe Karnes, Anne Revere, Esther Dale. Screenplay: John Van Druten, Lenore J. Coffee, based on a play by John Van Druten. Cinematography: Sol Polito. Art direction: John Hughes. Film editing: Terry O. Morse. Music: Franz Waxman. One of those actress pairings that you can't help being drawn to, no matter the quality of the movie: Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins. Fortunately, the movie, Old Acquaintance, is pretty good. (So was their earlier teaming in 1939, in William Goulding's The Old Maid, during which they are said to have had off-screen battles.) It's a story of two childhood friends who both grow up to be successful novelists, though Davis's Kit Marlowe is a critical darling while Hopkins's Millie Drake is a commercial success. They also grow up orbiting the same man, Preston Drake (John Loder), though Millie is the one who marries him and has a daughter with him. Eventually, Millie and Preston split, and the daughter, Dede, grows up to be played by Dolores Moran, and wouldn't you know it, to take Kit's much younger lover, Rudd Kendall (Gig Young), away from her. The central fact of the relationship between Kit and Millie, however, is that they represent opposite temperaments: Kit is solid and cynical, while Millie is high-strung and manic. All of this makes for some entertaining scenes, which is all that's needed in a Bette Davis movie, or a Miriam Hopkins one, for that matter.

Blue cocoon, blue cocoon

Born to soon, too soon

Though born to late

To make a difference

In such a world, such a world

With such a dying moon

But there will be, will be

Solemn silent sorrow

For those lost days of morrow

Before daily morning coffee

And

Daily evening tea

Handsomely " measured out in coffee spoons". *

Is it a pity, a pity

That he died so soon?

During the height of a dying moon

Where society's nurturing hand

Could, could, would

In twelve short years-

Make him- a man?

He would have sprouted his wings

Before he could fly

Lessened the injury

And learned how to cry

Frustration is the worst -

The worst of terrible things.

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door

( this only life, only life )

Only this and nothing more." *

Is it a crime, a crime

To be society's nurtured adults

Before its time?

To mingle with such pensive people

Engaged in heavy talk, talk, talk, talk

And to feel such an influence from fine wine.

Rejoice his dying day

His spirit that flew away

Before he could realize such social crime

Of completely living completely living

Before his time.

"Come! let the burial rite be read-

The funeral song be sung!

An anthem for the queenliest dead-

That ever died so young-

A dirge for her the doubly dead in that she

Died so young"*

Blue Cocoon, blue cocoon

Born too soon, too soon

Though born too late

To make a difference

in such a world , such a world

With such a dying moon

But , there will be , will be

Solemn silent sorrow

For those lost days of morrow

Before daily morning coffee

And

Daily evening tea

Handsomely "measured out in coffee spoons

The latest episode of Saturday Night Live featured a skit in which a Universal Studios tour guide repeated a dark fan theory regarding the first Back to the Future movie. The theory was one in which he claimed to have read online and that was decidedly inappropriate for a family audience. This has inspired many to ask if the theory is real and, if so, where it had been proposed before.

While generally regarded as a classic work of sci-fi action and one of the best movies of the 1980s, many have argued that certain aspects of Michael J. Fox hit Back to the Future have not aged well. Chief among these issues is the film's treatment of racial issues and the fact that it implies a white teenager from the 1980s is responsible for inspiring the creation of rock and roll music. It has also been speculated that the movie would never be made today (much less promoted as a family film) given the incestuous overtones of time traveler Marty McFly being seduced in the past by his mother as a teenager and his plan to bring his parents back together (after accidentally separating them) by staging a sexual assault.

Saturday Night Live referenced how society's views have changed in the 35 years since Back to the Future premiered and the Internet culture that loves to build complex fan theories around classic movies, with a skit centered around a Universal Studios tour guide trainee named Thoby. Played by host Dan Levy, the lively Thoby (who was in a hyperactive state after drinking too much coffee) was unable to stop volunteering information that was only tangentially related to the attractions he was meant to be showcasing and, in same cases, far too personal. The first of these tangents came as Thoby was meant to be pointing out several of the cars used in the Back to the Future films. This inspired Thoby to describe a fan theory he'd read online somewhere which suggested that Doc Brown was a child molester who had been grooming Marty McFly and that he had invented his time machine to go back in time and stop himself from doing it after he felt guilty later.

A similar theory was mentioned in a 2015 blog post about Back to the Future by author Lenore Skenazy, who is most famous for her 2009 parenting guide Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry. In the post, Skenazy discussed Back to the Future and a letter she had received from a fan whose friend (reportedly a trained rape crisis counselor) found the relationship between Doc Brown and Marty McFly suspect, suggesting it was inappropriate for an adult male to befriend a high school student. Skenazy rejected this notion, however, saying she was far more troubled that this counselor apparently believed that adult men only show an interest in young people as sexual objects.

It is worth noting that screenwriter Bob Gale and director Robert Zemeckis decided that Marty McFly sought out Doc Brown in their backstory for the unlikely friends, saying that Marty had become fascinated by the stories of the neighborhood kook. Doc, for his part, was overjoyed to have anyone show an interest in his experiments. The fact that Doc was paying Marty to act as his lab assistant and odd-job man also suggested a professional element to their relationship that was originally the basis for the friendship that grew between them as they traveled through time together.

It should also be noted that Rick and Morty originally started out as a pornographic parody of Back to the Future, in which Morty had to perform sexual acts in order to avert various paradoxes. This seems more likely to be the inspiration for the Saturday Night Live skit than the blog post by Lenore Skenazy. It is possible, however, that the SNL writing team came up with this dark theory on their own and used the skit to propose it themselves.
