At the recommendation of one of my new roommates, I'm watching The Goddess, a 1958 film (dir: John Cromwell) starring Kim Stanley, who was better known as a stage actress - this was her first film role. The movie is reportedly based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, but it was released four years before Monroe's death.Stanley's performance is top-notch, to say the least.
Sometimes I feel that I really love old movies, and other times I feel that I love the idea of old movies, but the reality of actually sitting down and watching them - well, let's just say I like to multi-task while they're playing. This is a case in point.
