I never quite understood how she was bypassed for this and yet her far more conventional work in Peyton Place made the shortlist. I'm not saying that she should have won or would even be on my list of personal nominees but she is good here. <br /><br />Gloria's does what she can with Rosemary but it's just not a part that should have won an Oscar. It's odd that she won at this point and in this race since she was competing against industry darling Thelma Ritter and a performance so obviously deserving in Jean Hagen's Lina Lamont that it would seem a given she'd take it in a walk. Grahame was on the rise in her career, obviously there was going to be other opportunities to acknowledge her.<br /><br />Of course when Kirk Douglas is on the screen no one else stands a chance. He consumes every ounce of air in his scenes, as it should be given the character. His nomination is wholly deserved.<br /><br />The film's a little long but a highly enjoyable watch.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-78463180803215709362015-02-22T12:31:06.872-05:002015-02-22T12:31:06.872-05:00In a Lonely Place would be my pick for the best pe...In a Lonely Place would be my pick for the best performance I've seen from her.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-44563828042403145012015-02-22T06:27:52.721-05:002015-02-22T06:27:52.721-05:00I think you liked it quite well too, Chip.

Certainly you emphasize the points that I found interesting.<br />I was actuallly wondering about the Oscar Grahame got for her fairly small par in this movie. While I suppose "a small part" is what defines a supporting part as opposed to a leading part, this one was tiny. So far her role in In a Lonely Place was the strongest I saw her in, but that was Leading Actress not Supporting Actress.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-11831148302564227492013-12-20T21:22:03.565-05:002013-12-20T21:22:03.565-05:00That might happen.

I experienced it for a couple of films, but I also experienced getting some "Very Long Wait" films after quite a while. <br /><br />I checked Youtube and it wasn't there. I then checked TCM's schedule and it's going to be on Friday, December 27th at 4:15 AM ET. Be aware that this might actually be Saturday morning, not Friday morning, since TCM wraps its schedule past Midnight to early morning before flipping the day. It would be best to doublecheck the schedule on Thursday, the day after Christmas.<br /><br />Good Luck.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-87053622174254099392013-12-20T18:24:16.263-05:002013-12-20T18:24:16.263-05:00This has been at the top of my Netflix queue for a...This has been at the top of my Netflix queue for a long time, but they keep skipping it and sending the next disc. I'm afraid pretty soon they'll make it unavailable. RetroHound.comhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.com
