It posits some ridiculous reasoning but it contains a lot of things that would vanish within a year because of the Production Code and you get Thelma Todd too!

But your list will help me fill some gaps across the decades, though I’m pretty good on those earlier ones. <br /><br />You might have seen some of these but as far as I could tell they weren’t up for any awards that would have made viewing them part of your project. <br /><br />1920’s<br />A Page of Madness-1926<br />Beggars of Life-1928<br /><br />1930’s<br />Madchen in Uniform-1931<br /><br />The Sisters-1938-I know you love Bette Davis and this came right between Jezebel and Dark Victory.<br /><br />The Mad Miss Manton-1938-Barbara Stanwyck in a comic murder mystery. <br /><br />1940’s<br />Saboteur-1942-It’s considered lesser Hitchcock and it might not be up to the North by Northwest/Lifeboat/Notorious level but I’ve always loved it.<br /><br />The Web-1947<br />Le Silence de la Mer-1949 <br /><br />1950’s<br />The Happiest Days of Your Life-1950<br />We’re No Angels-1955<br />Across the Bridge-1957<br /><br />1960’s<br />Conspiracy of Hearts-1960<br />Blast of Silence-1961<br /><br />1970’s<br />The Iceman Cometh-1973-It’s grim and incredibly long (almost 4 hours) but it’s powerfully acted by all and contains the final performances of Fredric March and Robert Ryan. You’ll probably never want to watch it again, I know I don’t, but I’m glad I saw it. <br /><br />Stevie-1978-A small film that provides a great showcase for Glenda Jackson as poet Stevie Smith. <br /><br />The Belle of Amherst-1976-Not sure if it was ever released theatrically and it doesn’t quite capture how great Julie Harris was on stage as Emily Dickinson (I saw her and can attest that she was spellbinding) but this is as close as you can get to seeing someone in full command of their craft in a part that allows them to use so much of it. <br /><br />1980’s <br />The Grey Fox-1982<br />Veronika Voss-1982<br /><br />1990’s<br />Beautiful Thing-1996<br />Trick-1999<br /><br />Hope these help!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-68913532314052550422020-09-25T21:43:28.842-05:002020-09-25T21:43:28.842-05:00Oh, thank you.
