Well, The Patsy is a tremendously wonderful film. Hilarious comedy from Marie Dressler and Marion Davies, the latter of whom puts her Lillian Gish and Theda Bara impressions on display. Part of director King Vidor's late-1920s run of excellence.
If anyone has watched the silent films released through the archive, how's the music?

Yes, but it doesn't disguise the fact that it was a lousy movie. The best of these 60s comedies is Never Too Late, which may have gotten more awards consideration if it had starred Spencer Tracy and Rosalind Russell as was rumored to be the likely casting before the film went into production.Damien wrote:Kisses For My President was nominated for Best Black-and-White Costume Design of 1964, so Oscar completists place your orders.
The problem was that Tracy was ill and Russell was tired of the heat she was getting for taking on other actresses' stage roles - Gertrude Berg's in A Majority of One, Ethel Merman's in Gypsy, Jessica Tandy's in Five Finger Exercise - so she demurred and the original stars Paul Ford and Maureen O'Sullivan got to reprise their stage roles.

Great to see Carny finally released though I don't care for any of the other titles (though I haven't seen Urgh or Don't be Afraid of the Dark).
