For instance, I could easily see someone disliking Mercedes McCambridge or Joan Greenwood because of their voices, although I love them both.

(She started going to the movies as a kid in the mid-1940s.)<br /><br />I saw The naked Jungle and Interrupted Melody last week and I asked my mother about them ... and she's never seen either one because she hates Eleanor Parker's voice so much!<br /><br />So we talked about Sandra Dee for a while.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-27596301773616465032017-08-12T16:44:54.535-05:002017-08-12T16:44:54.535-05:00Well, you have very different tastes than I do in ...Well, you have very different tastes than I do in that respect.

(I love Carmen by the way.)<br /><br />If only for all the little snippets from various great operas, I'm sure I will end up watching this again, probably more than once, as the years go by.

I doubt that it will be as AWESONE as The Naked Jungle. But I love Eleanor Parker and I love movies about opera, so I will probably enjoy this, no matter how dippy it is.<br /><br />Geez Louise! It's one of Parker's Best Actress Oscar nominations and it won Best Original Screenplay! I did not know that.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-67388714849977493772014-05-22T15:02:43.095-05:002014-05-22T15:02:43.095-05:00Hey!
