I hope you enjoy the movie, Kathy. And don't forget that SO LONG AT THE FAIR which stars Jean Simmons and Dirk Bogarde is also available currently (at least) for viewing on youtube. DON'T MISS IT!<br /><br />I liked Gene Tierney too and Greer Garson. They had faces then.

She was lovely in every movie.<br /><br />I'm so glad you posted this movie, will watch it.<br /><br />There were a number of women film stars I liked in classic movies. Simmons was one, Gene Tierney in Laura was another. But in my teenage years, I adored Greer Garson, especially in Mrs. Miniver -- a perfect woman, cool and calm and spirit in an awful situation.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this movie. (And I've seen the Trevor Howard movies mentioned. The Third Man is really a classic and I've seen it many times.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-71267557012880169392015-09-15T18:08:32.364-04:002015-09-15T18:08:32.364-04:00You can watch from the link on my post, Yvonne.

If you can't find the video searching for the regular spelling or the real title then the video tends to stay on the site for a long time. People do things like naming the video ∑x0rci$† instead of Exorcist or just give it a completely incorrect title altogether. The devious mind finds devious ways...J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-37082920755826102702015-09-11T15:51:39.533-04:002015-09-11T15:51:39.533-04:00You're very welcome, John.

I've read about THE CLOUDED YELLOW briefly elsewhere on the web and have been itching to see it ever since. Makes it about three years now. Forgive me, but I didn't read any of your review, Yvette. I'll be watching the entire movie as soon as I get home! Then I'll read your assessment and leave another comment.

You have to see Jean Simmons in THE BLUE LAGOON - speaking of radiance. My goodness! Also, BLACK NARCISSUS. No wonder Sabu ran off with her. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-89887601919339948332015-09-10T03:39:37.179-04:002015-09-10T03:39:37.179-04:00Glynis Johns was great, I agree.

DESIREE with Brando, now there is a film i haven't seen for a while (I prefer them in GUYS AND DOLLS though) - and what about FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG opposite her then hubby, Stewart Granger? She's lovely in THE GRASS IS GREENER but in SPARTACUS I could barely breathe when she was on screen - ahh, yes, definitely smitten :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-61891677328509144892015-09-08T23:44:42.773-04:002015-09-08T23:44:42.773-04:00Yvette, I have not seen any of the films you menti...Yvette, I have not seen any of the films you mention but I should be able to get them on YouTube.

Jean Simmons is worth watching however you can watch her. :) Have you ever seen BLACK NARCISSUS?

I'm also going to have to buy A BULLET IS WAITING, a movie she made with another of my dreamboats, Rory Calhoun. Available as a dvd. Only way, far as I know. Jean Simmons was my favorite actress all the while I was growing up. Another favorite was Glynis Johns. Remember her?

I have no memories of seeing either of the actors in any film though I was surprised to learn that Trevor Howard played bit roles in later films like "Superman" and "Gandhi."Prashant C.
