More Best Bettes

Ivan says:

Very, very clever post -- a compelling, completely unpredictable and thoroughly enjoyable ride -- one that I enjoyed very much!

We start out on "Davis Drive", make a sharp right on to " Harrison Highway", continue until we arrive at "Jack's Junction", turn left at "Kathy Court", make a u-turn and end up right back on "Bette Blvd". One of the most delightful "road trips" I've been on in a while; I couldn't help but keep driving through all that wonderful prose!

I'm sorry that you didn't get to see "Now, Voyager" -- it's definitely in a first place tie with "All About Eve" for me. The list continues and I might recommend at least two more "BD" films. "The Old Maid", "The Great Lie", "The Letter", "The Man Who Came to Dinner", "Old Acquaintance", and yes, "In This Our Life" ... OK, that's more than two, but there are so many worth watching. The Turner Classic Movie Channel often runs a "Bette Fest", so it's worth keeping an eye out on TCM (if you are a cable subscriber). As I've said many times before, TCM is the default TV channel in my house.

You know, when one talks about "The Divine Miss Bette", the mind can't help but drift to Olivia de Havilland ... but that's for another post, my dear!

Love you Syl, always have and always will!
