I knew they didn't get along, but I never knew that was the source of the bad blood. And fair enough too!

"The Old Maid" and "Old Acquaintance" are great pairings of Davis vs. Hopkins. I like Hopkins best in her earlier films before her onscreen persona became so chilly. I did record two of her films today that I haven't seen yet - "Wise Girl" and "Woman Chases Man." One I'd love to see again is "The Story of Temple Drake," a Pre-Code classic.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668690844478666903.post-26688083005022800612012-10-18T20:31:06.509-07:002012-10-18T20:31:06.509-07:00Thank you, Dawn!!!Thank you, Dawn!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857588347866852870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668690844478666903.post-17071366023479468992012-10-18T19:06:15.454-07:002012-10-18T19:06:15.454-07:00I've heard a lot of good things about this one...I've heard a lot of good things about this one and your review might just be the tipping point to get me to finally sit down and watch it. Can't wait to see Davis and Hopkins duking it out.

Please pardon my ignorance, but a while back, you posted a great review about a film that I SO MUCH wanted to find online, but could not locate. The producer's daughter then provided follow-up commentary. I wanted to reply, but I have since misplaced the film's title. Could you please link me to it? Thank you so much! x x xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857588347866852870noreply@blogger.com
