Has Warren Beatty ever been hotter?
Natalie Wood is just sublime.
Pat Hingle is ferocious and terrifying.
The rest of the cast is exemplary as well.
And it has a totally homoerotic shower scene as well as being Phyllis Diller's film debut!
A true classic!

Posted: 6/26/08 at 9:35pmI love that movie. And what a timeless message: A hot boy can drive you crazy.

Posted: 6/26/08 at 9:46pmTo be completely honest, I saw that movie at a too-young age and found it to be hypnotic and somewhat disturbing. I felt queer all afternoon.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:03amthat was the BEST scene in the movie Phyl. Natalie pretty much secured her Oscar nom with that bathtub tirade I think.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:13amWho did Diller play? Was she the sister of Beatty?
#11re: Splendor In The Grass

She was the night club emcee in the scene where Hingle takes Beatty to NY from Yale during the wall street crash.
She has like 2 lines.

Love Diller.
Deeny's mom and Bud's sister are good too.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:32amI just watched "Sex and the Single Girl" the other night, which I'd never seen. It's sexist to the point that it offends even me and she's not at the top of her game, but it was kind of cute.

Audrey Christie, Taz. She's fabulous, and you've probably seen her in other movies without realizing it. She's also in CAROUSEL as Mrs. Mullin, the owner of the carousel, THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN as the snooty socialite neighbor, and MAME as Mrs. Upson, as well as lots of T.V. guest appearances. She had a fabulous career on Broadway, too.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

you know what, it wasn't all that bad.
It started out a little wobbbly, but Jane Connel and Bea Arthur saved it.
I was watching it thinking "I know that face (of the guy playing older Patrick).
It was Bruce Davison. So young.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:46amIt's just so slowly paced, and Lucy just so out of her league that despite the brilliance of Bea I find it almost unwatchable.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 2:41amTaz, I love Mame!!! I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I can't help it. Splendor in The Grass is my mother's favorite Natalie Wood film, next to Love With A Proper Stranger. We watch these two movies everytime they air.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 2:43amyay! I liked Mame too. Whenever it started to get slow, another great Herman tune came on and things picked back up.
