SchroCat Home ♦ Contributions June 2014 I am lgnmrshllhlms. I was not trying to vandalize Wikipedia. I just got mad at Betty Logan for editing my true facts about MPAA film rating system and deleted his/her page. I will delete the page you made. DYK Review Could you please comment on Template:Did you know nominations/The Convention Conundrum? I have been told that you are needed to complete the DYK review, as you posted the original review.

BTW have you seen Woman of Straw? I've never seen a film actress look quite so simultaneously frightened and attracted as she was with Sean Connery. You could tell Lollobrigida was highly attracted to him but she genuinely looked really intimidated by him!! Either that or she hated him! Probably not used to being around a male film star of such toughness and virility! Connery was the man wasn't he! I wouldn't mind her being my nurse though LOL! I don't think they liked each other as people though, I've found a source which says she was difficult on set and clashed with Connery and Dearden. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:51, 2 June 2014 (UTC) A definite diva there, I think! Don't think I've seen WoS - I'll add it to my "must watch" list! - SchroCat (talk) 17:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC) It's pretty average overall, but it's enjoyable seeing Ralph as a dead man in a wheelchair and Gina being locked in a prison and the ending is great with a cunning twist! She was hot but my didn't she know it. Textbook diva as you say. There's a scene it it when she's wailing, really overacting and Connery really looks an inch away from slapping her. But if you compare the chemistry between Connery and Lollo and Peter Sellers and Sophia in The Millionairess for instance they couldn't have been more different! How Connery managed to do that and Marnie amid the early Bond films and the huge pressures it must have brought beats me. Perhaps that was his way of dealing with the attention to go to Majorca and shoot a film and focus his mind on something else.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:57, 2 June 2014 (UTC) I still think The Hill and The Offence are his best works from that time: sheer class performances, and I think a surprise to people who thought he was a muscle-bound Bond and nothing else. - SchroCat (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC) Lumet was a master filmmaker though, it did help!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:05, 2 June 2014 (UTC) Formby 1 and 2 I just read both of your articles, very interesting indeed, and the writing is very strong. I am afraid neither Formby made a huge impact on my native side of the Atlantic (well, I can't very well say "this side of the Atlantic", now can I?) and I had only heard the name and little more.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC) They both show a particularly British (even north west English) type of character, and Formby Jnr's films are an absolute delight in themselves, as well as having an almost sociological interest to them. One of them, Let George Do It! gave a particularly strong boost to early-war British morale (according to the Mass-Observation work) as Formby drops in on Hitler and gives him a right hook in a dream sequence. When you're back in free wi-fi land, try Bell-Bottom George on YouTube - the full film is there and it's worth 90 of anyone's time!
