Snarky Oracle!
Telly Talk Supreme
As Judith Crist, one of the better critics of the '60s, said: "the guignol is about as grand as it gets."
I recognised some of Snarky's Ghost ideas for Dynasty (e.g. Caress tells Blake about Roger Grimes, Krystle and Alexis hiding the body of...was it Blake?)
Stanwyck's last theatrical film, 1964
Two of Astor's most important films from the '30s are RED DUST and THE PRISONER OF ZENDA, but I haven't seen them.
Is Joan holding an axe there? Cause if she is then that just gave me a better perspective on the garden scene in Mommie Dearest!!THE NIGHT WALKER was originally to be a Joan Crawford vehicle, but she bowed out because she was committed to HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE at the time. She had already done STRAIT-JACKET for William Castle, and she ended up doing I SAW WHAT YOU DID for him as well.

Yes, but don't get your hopes up; that picture is more interesting than the entire movie.
This would likely be my favorite genre if so many of them weren't so stinky.
So the trend exacted a pound of flesh, as it were, for most of those involved.
STRAIT-JACKET or MOMMIE DEAREST?
What's awfully good?It is an awfully good pic though, so it's probably better than a ton of movies.
