Searching for the singer in this scene, LUCHA REYES is how I landed on this clip.
Her voice just stops my heart.

I am intrigued to see the whole film.
I am looking for a copy (english subtitles nice but not necessary) should anyone know of one available online.

I really enjoyed seeing a PBS special last night about the screwball romantic commedy genre of the 1930's & 1940's. So many great clips of Hepburn, Tracy, Lombard, Monroe, Hudson, day, Grant, plus! Good night at the home cinema!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Patricia Hitchcock with her dad.

cinderella · 02-22-2010, 08:45 PM

'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.
