Can't take your eyes off it.<br />Mae West was one of a couple of old-timers who turned it down (Mary Pickford too, I think). In the end, Swanson was an ideal choice, because she really had faded as a star by that point.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816394122569768359.post-82719524353979118042010-04-15T20:02:11.315-07:002010-04-15T20:02:11.315-07:00One of my favorite films of all time!

I have watched this film countless times and it draws me in every time - even the last time when I was watching on my iPhone at the gym. <br /><br />There is so much to learn - as a filmmaker I find myself studying everything in every frame. It's just one of those perfect films where there is simply nothing that could or should be changed to alter the emotional, thrilling experience. Thanks for your great write-up!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Jasonevilgenius333https://www.blogger.com/profile/03201691878958275521noreply@blogger.com
