Hi all, I'm new to BFP...
 

I love classic movies and hope I can both learn and contribute to this thread. For now I will just read the posts, and hopefully get to know everyone.

A change of heart...since it seems the convo has turned to Billie Wilder - one of my fave directors - I'd like to add, IMO, one of his best: Witness for the Prosecution - great film! Here's a clip from the court scene. Dietrich is being interrogated by Laughton.

Hi, Odarlin...if Lucha Reyes stops your heart, wait until you hear this gal! Enjoy.

Ok, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I successfully posted a vid on my first try, but now can't seem to do it again. Any suggestions? Thank you.

My favorite, as well, on all counts. Welcome classic cinema comrade.

Thank you.

In my experience when a youtube has embedding disabled the link comes up as it did here for you- the link still works, and you did it correctly, it just won't embed. I still post 'em if they're good. People can just click it.

Cyclopea, thanks for the info and assistance, however, I resolved it.

There was nothing to resolve! lol. That vid had embedding disabled by the person who uploaded it. Have fun!

Actually, there was...I was just doing it wrong. There was no embedding disabled. My problem was that I thought I had to put brackets or something around the url address in the 'Advanced' box, but that's not so. In any event, I figured it out.

More on Hitchcock
 

William Wyler is my favorite director, with Hitch second. His daughter, Patricia, made cameo appearances in three films: Psycho, Strangers On a Train and Stage Fright. His wife Alma, edited scripts and gave final approval on many.

'The Member of the Wedding', one of my favorite films. Julie Harris, 27 here, playing a 12 year old girl - and she clinched it!! Not too many can get away with that!! She was nominated for an Oscar, but did not win. IMO, she should have - her performance was outstanding!

Here's my favorite scene from that film - Ethel Waters was magnificent as the housekeeper/nanny.
