[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 390627, member: 7"] I suppose the DIE! DIE! MY DARLING! title has aged better. It also stays within the parameters of the type of titles these "grande dame guignol" movies had -- well, the titles some of them had. Just as you said, the film gets a little long-winded. BABY JANE, I suppose, gets a little lengthy, too, but I can overlook that because I so like the Davis-Crawford pairing. The color camera work I think works on well for DIE! DIE! MY DARLING! and I like the British locales that give the movie a style of its own. I think you're right about LADY IN A CAGE -- I believe the son "offs" himself sometime before the start of the story. Tallulah didn't have much of a film career, so it is hard to judge this movie. I'd definitely say this and LIFEBOAT were her best roles, even though I've yet to see her '30s movies where Paramount wanted to groom her as an "American Dietrich" or some mess like that. I wish Tallulah had done another "grande dame guignol" style movie in her time. But where else would she have fit? [ATTACH type="full"]51397[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
