i watch the first few moment on tcm a few year ago but stop after about 15 minute . i saw it list on the schedule at the stanford theatre in palo alto and and i vow i would make the 40 minute drive . the stanford be an old fashioned movie house that start each movie with the curtain still shut yes and they have curtain . they open a the fox logo fanfare begin to play . when the best of everything appear in huge pink letter spread against the new york city skyline and i know i be right for wait . i lap this movie up . there be so many little moment that add to the look and feel of the movie represent when hope lange walk into the publishing office for the first time and the title of the magazine publish there be etch on the glass ( the teenager and elegance ) while joan crawford swanky apron that she wear so she could serve her guest at her party without muss her outfit while the way the camera tilt to indicate how crazy suzy parker be become ( it be almost sideways at one point ) while how hope lange keep live at that dumpy flat she share with the others even though she obviously be make a lot more money than at the beginning of the film ( guess it be too scandalous for a single gal to live alone ) . hope lange be so beautiful while so be suzy parker . and how about mark goddard in a non speaking role . i fell in love with him when i be a kid watch lose in space . see this gem on the big screen prompt me to plan another trek down to the stanford to see the old dark house . incidentally and i buy a small soda and popcorn at the concession stand and and i be take aback when the worker ask me for two buck .
