Love your #1. The critic Jonathan Rosenbaum once called Sylvia Scarlett “the most interesting and audacious movie George Cukor ever made… One of the most poetic, magical, and inventive Hollywood films of its era.”
I completely agree with everything Rosenbaum said about Sylvia Scarlett 🙂 I am also glad to see that you loved it as well 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by and have a Happy New Year 🙂
Happy New Year to you too.Perusing your selections I feel the urge to watch The Philadelphia Story and Adam’s Rib again.
It’s funny I generally don’t like remakes, but for a long time I hankered for a 90’s update of Adam’s Rib starring Tom Hanks, Michelle Pfeiffer and Meg Ryan. I may be in minority of one on that, but I’m sure it would have been preferable to the remake of Cukor’s The Women!
That remake of Adam’s Rib you had in mind would have been inspired and yes it totally would have been superior to the 2008 remake of The Women 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
