  Yeah, but that's different. Barbara Stanwyck is one of my all-time favorite female leads. When she's on, Anya usually calls "Come over, the YOURS is there!"

  Any idea what the 2001 Ossessione was about?

    No, i read something about but do not care then..We have enough choice for the theme...
    Barbara could do comedy and some drama both very well even she was not a " tragedienne"...
    I love the film with Henry Fonda...highly sophisticated...remember?

        The great " Lady Eve "..I love this film..so modern..and for US morality..not too moral at all...great.

• "Double Indemnity," another Billy Wilder film, - tinear 06:27:13 09/28/03 (3)

  with a similar plot, was much better. For one, Barbara Stanwyck was HOT (note the little ankle bracelet and the brazen leg display, foreshadowing Ms. Sharon Stone by several decades), whereas Lana Turner was merely cheap; Fred McMurray and Edward G. Robinson were perfectly cast.
  One reason the 1981 "Jack" version was strange? David Mamet adapted it...
  Garfield, and I'm not much of a fan, was very good in the original.

      it by name, and I didn't realize Tay Garnett directed the first "Postman...".
      Hey, if you like Barbara, I'll bet you also like some Joan Crawford roles as well. I'll always love watching her in "Grand Hotel" and "Johnny Guitar." Not great films, but very strange---with some very interesting performances.
      Oh, one thing I don't think I'll understand if I lived in France for 100 years: Simone Signoret. Never found her the least bit interesting. Not a tad.

        No, I never liked J. Crawford she was too over mannly sexual active( can you understand that?..I can´t..)
        Strange is the right word...
        Simone is not my cup of tea either but in " Le casque d ´Ór" she was pretty at least one could say..she was more on the intellectual side...
        She had the Parisian / Jewish stil...
