after thoroughly enjoying old acquaintance , which teamed bette davis with miriam hopkins , i was keen to see their earlier film together , the old maid . i’d seen this movie described somewhere as a “soap opera” , but i think that’s very misleading . in fact , it is an adaptation of a stage play based on a novella by edith wharton , in her collection old new york . while it does have elements of melodrama , it also has complicated characters , painted in shades of grey , neither impossibly good nor impossibly bad .

baum moved to hollywood in 1910 , just as the film industry was getting started there . he went on to co - found the oz film manufacturing company to make movies based on his books for which he still held the film rights . he and his partners built a studio and in 1914 turned out a handful of silent films , but the elaborate productions were ahead of their time and failed to find a wide audience . the company shut down the following year . one of baum’s sons co - wrote a “wizard of oz” adaptation that made it to the big screen in 1925 . the cast included oliver hardy ( who became half of the comedy duo laurel and hardy ) as the tin man ; however , the film was panned by critics . it wasn’t until mgm’s 1939 production that “oz” found cinematic success . baum’s widow , maud , attended the film’s hollywood premiere at grauman’s chinese theatre that august .
the six films are the old maid ( 1939 ) , all this and heaven too ( 1940 ) , the great lie ( 1941 ) , in this our life ( 1942 ) , watch on the rhine ( 1943 ) , and deception ( 1946 ) . a couple of those are remarkably good films , and all of them offer solid production values and various good - to - great performances – though davis ' own work ranges from passable to awful .
strange wives ( 1935 ) , dir . richard thorpe . ( lost film [ marshall , 22 ] )
all in all , i think this is a wonderful film , with fine performances by both davis and hopkins . inevitably , it loses some of the subtlety of wharton’s novella and changes some of the motivations , but i think the film and the book are both masterpieces in different ways .

( 1939 ) . based on the edith wharton novel , it starred davis and miriam hopkins as cousins in love with same man , fighting over the custody ( and love ) of one cousin ' s illegitimate daughter .
in this film , delia lovell marries james ralston , leaving her old beau clem spender out in the cold . delia ' s cousin charlotte comforts clem by spending the night with him . charlotte becomes pregnant , secretly farming out her daughter tina to another family .

hopkins stars as the beautiful , spoilt delia lovell , with davis as her cousin , charlotte , who is somewhat under her shadow and later becomes the embittered “old maid” of the film’s title . davis originally wanted to play both main female roles but in a way she is already playing two parts , since charlotte later in the film is so different from the lively young girl in the opening scenes . i’m glad the dual role was decided against , since there is so much chemistry between her and hopkins . watching the two portray lifelong friends , it’s hard to believe that they disliked one another so much in real life .
davies is not really a traditional old maid : the pictures explodes this stereotype , for she has had a lover , chance at marriage and child . yet we are to believe this was a frustration that ruines her whole life . _ tertium non est _ .
originally serialized in the red book magazine in 1922 , the old maid is an examination of class and society as only edith wharton could undertake . the story follows the life of tina , a young woman caught between the mother who adopted her—the beautiful , upstanding delia—and her true mother , her plain , unmarried “aunt” charlotte , who gave tina up to provide her with a socia

based on an edith wharton novel and pulitzer prize - winning play , the old maid tells the sad story of charlotte , a woman whose circumstances force her to give up her illegitimate child and pose as the child ' s “old maid” aunt , thereby facing a lifetime of maternal sacrifice . as charlotte , bette davis gives one of her most nuanced performances , aging from wide - eyed girl to gray - haired martinet . miriam hopkins provides effective counterbalance with her portrayal of charlotte ' s effusive cousin , who raises the little girl . two women , one child – and a brilliant example of melodrama as art .
charlotte lovell : she thinks i can ' t understand her . she considers me an old maid . delia lovell ralston : my dear . charlotte lovell : a ridiculous , narrow - minded old maid . what else can she ever think of me ? delia lovell ralston : poor charlotte . charlotte lovell : oh , but you needn ' t pity me . because she ' s really mine . if she considers me an old maid , it ' s because i ' ve deliberately made myself one in her eyes . i ' ve done it from the beginning so she wouldn ' t have the least suspicion . i ' ve practised everything i ' ve ever had to say to her , if it was important , so that i ' d sound like an old maid aunt talking . not her mother . delia lovell ralston : well , after all , darling , there isn ' t anything important to say to her now . she has every attribute of a modern successful woman - she ' s healthy , she ' s young , she ' s gay , she ' s attractive . . . see more »
another point of contention : while the old maid was in pre - production , davis had lobbied to play the roles of both delia and charlotte . ( actually , that would have been a far more interesting movie than the one they ended up with . ) no doubt hopkins knew all this going into the project and carried a chip on her shoulder .
hopkins was also paranoid about being the older woman in this relationship . in the film’s opening scenes she was required to play a woman in her early 20s . at the time hopkins was 38 .
you know , 1939 was a good year for bette as an actress . she starred in four great films for warner brothers : “dark victory” , “juarez” , “the old maid” , and “the private lives of elizabeth and essex . ” her star status is reflected in that year for she played queen elizabeth the first , a dying heiress , an emperor ' s wife , and a woman who gives up her ? child for another to raise . most actresses would be honored to play those kind of roles in their careers ; but bette played them all in one year .

is simple , but , as with all of wharton ' s stories , only superficially : charlotte gives up her child into the custody of her cousin , delia , so that her daughter ' s reputation may be preserved . yet , beneath this simple plot is an intricate look at sex , love , and , as always , social customs , particularly restrictions and punishments leveled at women . to avoid spoliers , i won ' t go into details about plot points , but i will say that
the old maid
has a rather strange and creepily incestuous element to the basic conflict - - one that becomes evident only after some thoughtful reflection . the characters are well drawn , and the narration is beautiful as always - and hilarious ! there was one passage in particular that made me laugh out loud :
lillian hellman ' s 1941 stage hit ( adapted by dashiell hammett ) retains its emotional and intellectual power in this suspenseful movie awarded the new york film critics 1943 best picture prize , and lauded as “a distinguished film , full of sense , power and beauty” by the ny times . the praiseworthy film about standing up for what is right , at all odds , stars paul lukas repeating his broadway triumph as kurt muller , a german underground leader who arrives with his family in washington , dc and soon finds the tentacles of nazi terror have a very long reach . lukas ' passionate performance earned him an oscar , beating out humphrey bogart in casablanca and gary cooper in for whom the bell tolls . bette davis , who took on the film because she believed in its importance , portrays muller ' s wife with ringing integrity . lucile watson as a socialite whose complacency is “shaken out of the magnolias” and george colouris as a shady blackmailer also memorably reprise their stage roles . the film was nominated for 3 academy awards , including best picture .

once i’d seen the movie for the first time , i got hold of wharton’s novella and read it and then watched the film again . if anything , i was even more impressed the second time round . there are some changes to wharton’s plot , notably moving the story to the period of the american civil war and stepping up the character of clem spender , played by george brent – but to me the portrayal of the two central women seems essentially true to the original story .
the book is about wealthy women in new york constrained by class , family and rigid gender roles . their lives are lonely . friendship is nonexistent in this story , and the women must rely on husbands or family members . ties with children who marry and remain in the city seem to end , too , as new families begin their closed lives . one woman offers to keep a cousin ' s secret for her own selfish reasons . she eventually becomes a widow and the cousin is

originally serialized in the red book magazine in 1922 , the old maid is an examination of class and society as only edith wharton could undertake . the story follows the life of tina , a young woman caught between the mother who adopted her—the beautiful , upstanding delia—and her true mother , her plain , unmarried “aunt” charlotte , who gave tina up to provide her with a socially acceptable life . the three women live quietly together until tina’s wedding day , when delia’s and charlotte’s hidden jealousies rush to the surface . says roxana robinson in her introduction , “wharton weaves her golden , fine - meshed net about her characters with inexorable precision . ” this modern library paperback classic is set from the text of the original magazine publication .
i really liked both this movie and old acquaintance and i always thought “what could have been” knowing the way davis and hopkins felt about each other if miriam hopkins had been cast in the joan crawford role in whatever happened to baby jane ? ! just imagine the fireworks . great post .
was one of the great films - - a financial and critical success - - in a very impressive year in film history . so much so that davis and hopkins were given a rematch at warner brothers , as battling authors in
the later part of the film shows charlotte as the “old maid” , watching tina , now grown up and played by jane bryan , like a hawk . she fears that tina will make the same mistake she made , ie having sex before marriage – and so she is strict and fierce with her , constantly harping on about how tina is a poor relation and shouldn’t put herself forward , in a bullying way that at times recalls mrs norris in mansfield park . by contrast , delia is still full of joy in life and wants to make all tina’s dreams come true , working things out so that she needn’t be a poor relation and can marry the man she loves . the ironies build up endlessly , and there are many twists which bring out the different characters of the two women – and show how different charlotte could have been if she hadn’t been forced into a corner .
bette davis is at the height of her phenomenal screen career , with co - star charles boyer in their only film together . the plot is rich in mystery and grand emotion ; a powerful period drama honored with three 1940 academy award nominations , including best picture .
is wharton ' s last great work and that everything after it is worthless ; i even remember seeing a call for papers about it for mla about eight or nine years ago . i thought it was a stupid claim then as a little grad student , and i think it ' s even more stupid now after reading

in desperation , she confides in delia , who is sympathetic but also jealous when she realises that clem is the child’s father . delia gets charlotte’s marriage broken off at the last minute , falsely telling joe that charlotte is ill with a recurrence of her lung disease and should not marry anyone . in the novella , this is mainly because delia is so conventional in her views and believes it is unthinkable that a woman who has already had a child should marry without telling her husband . however , the film plays up the element of sexual jealousy , making it appear that delia partly gets the marriage broken off to punish charlotte for having had sex with clem . surprisingly , i think this has the effect of making delia’s action more clearly wrong - headed in the film , made under the code , than in wharton’s book . the film seems to signal clearly that charlotte should be allowed to marry joe – and even suggests that he would probably accept her if he knew about her daughter .
dorothy wore silver shoes in baum’s story , but for the technicolor film judy garland sported ruby red slippers because it was believed they’d stand out better against the yellow brick road . several pairs of the now - legendary pumps were used during the 1939 production ; after filming wrapped they went into storage on mgm’s culver city , california , lot and were forgotten . the shoes were unearthed in 1970 during preparations for an auction of mgm costumes and props . four authentic pairs are known to exist today : one pair was auctioned off then donated to the smithsonian in 1979 , while another pair sold at auction in 2000 for $ 666 , 000 . in 2012 , actor leonardo dicaprio was the main benefactor behind the purchase of a pair for the academy of motion picture arts & sciences . also in the movie but not the original book : “toto , i’ve a feeling we’re not in kansas anymore . ” one of the most famous quotes associated with the land of oz , it was dreamed up by hollywood screenwriter noel langley , not baum .
happily , though , both actresses came out winners . davis gives one of her more restrained and tragic performances as the bitter old
aunt ,
her stillness accentuating her eyes and her voice . hopkins , in turn , shines as the selfish , terrified woman who steals the love of her cousin ' s child .
the old maid
is quintessential edith wharton - - it takes place in gilded age new york city , in the genteel upper crust where human passions are hidden under lace and gilt . and despite its length , this novella is a passionate one , focusing on two women whose ordinary , pleasant lives are disrupted by a secret they both share . delia ralston has the

the success of the first “oz” book led baum to produce sequels , but he grew tired of the magical place he’d devised and tried to end the series with his sixth book , “the emerald city of oz , ” in which dorothy takes aunt em and uncle henry to reside permanently in oz . however , by the time the book was published , in 1910 , its author was facing serious financial problems due in part to his heavy investment in “the fairylogue and radio - plays , ” an expensive , short - lived traveling show in which baum narrated silent - film clips of his famous characters , while accompanied by an orchestra and stage actors . baum filed for bankruptcy in 1911 and signed away the film rights to “the wonderful wizard of oz” to help pay off his debts . still in need of money , he resumed writing about the land of oz , and “the patchwork girl of oz , ” his seventh novel in the series , debuted in 1913 .

on urltoken this week . an unabridged 2 : 45 hrs novella wonderfully pleasant narrated by eleanor bron . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * the old maid is a classic old edith wharton ( 1862 - 1937 ) novella first published 1922 . a quite melancholic tale about the life and struggles among wealthy women in new york city ' s fashionable society ,
mayor hartsfield urged every atlanta woman and maid to put on hoop skirts and pantalets , appealed to every atlanta male to don tight trousers and a beaver , sprout a goatee , sideburns and kentucky colonel whiskers . he also requested citizens not to tear off the clothes of visiting movie stars , as happened in kansas at the premiere of dodge city .
oberon’s career took off after a move to london at age 17 , when english director alexander korda cast her in a small but pivotal role as anne boleyn in the private life of henry viii in 1933 . the film’s success led to leading - lady status , and films including the scarlet pimpernel , the dark angel —for which she was oscar - nominated— that uncertain feeling , and a song to remember .
, crawford triumphantly pushed her way past davis saying
step aside !
, and swept onstage to pick up the trophy . davis later commented ,
it would have meant a million more dollars to our film if i had won . joan was thrilled i hadn ' t .

last week the cinema event for which the u . s . has palpitated for three years took place in atlanta , ga . the premiere of gone with the wind .
the glimpses of the moon ( 1923 ; silent ) . dir . allan dwan . screenplay by edfrid a . bingham and e . lloyd sheldon . starring bebe daniels as susan branch , david powell as nick lansing , nita naldi as ursula gillow , and maurice costello as fred gillow . ( lost film [ marshall , 21 ] )
superb soap opera takes place from the 1860s to the 1880s . miriam hopkins spurns long - time fiancee george brent to marry another man . her cousin , bette davis , also loves brent and
comforts
him before he goes off to war . he dies in the war and leaves her pregnant . she secretly has the baby and tells nobody except hopkins . hopkins , now a rich widow , convinces davis to let her adopt the child so she will have a name . she does and watches her child grow up treating hopkins like her mother and davis with contempt as an old maid . the story is very sudsy but the script has wonderful , literate dialogue and the picture is very elaborately made . but what really puts the picture across is the superb acting by hopkins and davis . they both hated each other passionately off screen but you ' d never know it on screen . the scenes when they ' re friends or rivals are just great - - every single line rings true and they play their roles to the hilt . a real surprise is seeing hopkins play a sweet woman at the end - - she certainly wasn ' t like that in real life ! and the very last scene in the movie will bring a tear to your eye - - just bette davis ' reaction to something really hits . a great film - - don ' t miss it ! a must if you ' re a bette davis fan .
“in the old new york of the ‘fifties a few families ruled , in simplicity and affluence . of these were the ralstons . the sturdy english and the rubicund and heavier dutch had mingled to produce a prosperous , prudent and yet lavish society . to “do things handsomely” had always been a fundamental principle in this cautious world , built up on the fortunes of bankers , india merchants , ship - builders and ship - chandlers . those well - fed slow - moving people , who seemed irritable and dyspeptic to european e
so this is essentially a short story . it took me an hour and a half to read it . it was really good though . the two main characters are women , who have to navigate the world of social propriety , pregnancy , motherhood , and spinsterhood in an effort to live as best they can in an unforgiving society ( especially towards women ) while still maintaining what they care for most . the back and forth emotions between jealousy and compassion , gratitude and bitterness are incredible and so human . because this is a quick read—and because it is eye - opening—i would recommend people take some time to try out edith wharton by reading the old maid . she is a canonized american writer , and this is a good introduction to her .
excellent davis - hopkins , in a kind of mash - up of the great lie and to each his own . molly haskell has a trenchant section of her book from reverence to rape : the treatment of women in the movies that mentions the old maid as one of a list of films depicting maternal zeal and obsession with children :
like all obsessions , this one betrays a fear of its opposite , of a hatred so intense that it must be disguised as love . . . the only way to express this hostility is through a noble inversion : the art of sacrifice , of giving them up
( see pp . 168 - 171 ) . does viewing the movie through this lens lessen the effectiveness of its melodramatic pathos ? i don ' t think so , but it ' s food for thought . ( on a minor note , can someone please explain to me the appeal of george brent ? i just don ' t get it . what a stiff . )
jane arrives back and finds blanche talking to him . blanche abruptly gets off the phone , and jane beats her senseless , kicking her in the head and stomach . disguising her voice as her sister’s , jane picks up the phone and calls the doctor back . she tells him not to come because “jane” has found another doctor . then jane drags her sister to her room , ties her up by her arms , gags her and leaves her there . the next day , elvira arrives to work . jane tells her that her services are no longer needed and dismisses her . suspicious , elvira sneaks into the house when jane leaves . as the maid enters the room and finds blanche bound and gagged , jane hits her on the head with a hammer and kills her . then she puts the body in her car and disposes of it . the police call the house and tell jane that a relative of her maid has reported her missing . she tells them that she hasn’t seen her for a week . jane prepares to leave with her sister , fearing the police will discover what she’s done . suddenly , edwin shows up to receive his first payment . blanche is able to knock something down in her room and edwin goes up and sees the condition she’s in . she begs for help , and edwin runs out of the house to get the police . desperate , jane puts her sister in the car and drives to the beach . the next morning , the search is on for them . elvira’s body has been found and there are bulletins on the radio . blanche , starved and dehydrated , is lying on the sand with jane sitting beside her .
i liked this book . it was the second edith wharton book i read . it was really great and i own an old first edition copy and it was the only copy i have ever been able to find of it . i would like to own an updated copy so i can loan it out . so well written and depressing . i loved it . .

the women ( 1939 ) , 132 minutes , d : george cukor with an all - woman , all - star cast of more than 125 strong - minded women , based clare boothe ' s ( luce ) play . a satirical comedy / drama full of biting and snappy wit , fast dialogue , and superb performances from a great cast . the complex story line about matrimony and the struggles between men and women was full of twists and diversions , almost unimportant . one of the socialite women mary haines ( norma shearer ) learned that her husband was having an affair with an amoral perfume sales clerk chrystal allen ( joan crawford ) . she sought a quickie divorce with a six - week stay in reno , where she ultimately learned that her husband stephen wasn ' t that fond of chrystal , and so she plotted to get him back . the cast of women engaged in cat - fighting and bitching , vicious gossip and cattiness , husband - stealing , and back - stabbing , while the film provided insight into female bonding and the role of women in society .
this is a somewhat convoluted story of wealthier women in
old new york
and the nature of the lives they lead . it might surprise many people to learn that i have not read any of the brontes or austen ( hasn ' t everyone ? ) ; i rather imagine that wharton can be grouped with them . being such a short book helped with the stilted formality of the prose and still permitted me to enjoy its period flavor . likely , a good introduction to wharton ' s bigger , major works .

so heres the question . does one prefer the really bad body suit of sasquatch mountain , or the really bad cgi with lots of blob squatch from hunters . . and see these movies prove that if one is even pretending to be a sas , then the camera goes out of focus ,

i grew up during the golden age of bigfoot movies , so i have a lot of fond memories of saturday matinee fodder like the legend of boggy creek , sasquatch , the legend of bigfoot , in search of bigfoot , the mysterious monsters , and of course , that episode where steve austin meets bigfoot on the six million dollar man . i ' m a confirmed fan of the genre . so it ' s with sad regret that i must say sasquatch mountain ( originally titled devil on the mountain prior to its premiere on the sci - fi channel ) is barely a bigfoot movie at all - and a pretty poor film to boot .

do you know what normal is in the forest ? what is baseline ? when you’ve spent as much time as les stroud in wild canada , when you see something that isn’t normal , it really stands out . les returns to rural alberta in search of sasquatch . he approaches with a skeptic’s eye , experimenting with stealth camera equipment and using infrared trail cams and thermal imaging . the search for definitive proof gives him the edge . the mission is to document the increasing regularity and recurrence of phenomenon that is baffling science – and hopefully , provoke an interaction . things keep happening , events recorded in nature , that wild life biology is having a hart time explaining , without including sasquatch . it’s not so much a mission as a quest . a piece of the puzzle is out there…and that puzzle is bigfoot .

“we’ll see where it goes from there , but it has been an interesting ride , ” laramy miller said . “i didn’t set out to do what i’m doing . i don’t really care about being on television . i hunt for a living , but filming is 16 hours a day and i’ll film every day until february . my passion is the mountain - man lifestyle – longbow hunting and traditional stuff – and i plan to incorporate what i do into our location here . ”

on the next new episode of mountain monsters , premiering this friday , april 25 at 10 / 9c , aims heads to central west virginia to investigate the legendary webster werewolf . born out of a 1770s massacre of local shawnee indians in present - day webster county , this nocturnal predator resembles a huge northern wolf but is three times the size and has the ability to walk upright on two feet . aims locates an old shawnee hunting trail and constructs a 2 , 000 - pound rock fall trap . and while trapper deals with a toothache the appalachian way , his expert crew works to unravel centuries of myth surrounding this creature ' s existence before the full moon passes .
hiking far off the beaten path , les searches remote forested land deep in the heart of the great smoky mountains with scott carpenter , a local researcher claiming to have interactions with bigfoot in the area . scott’s theories leave les feeling jumpy . or maybe that’s the black bears . there are more than 1 , 500 black bears that live in these mountains . les knows that where bears thrive , humans can survive , too . but , is it possible that something else could be surviving in the unknown wild ? a higher intelligence ? something that doesn’t want to be found ? battling his own psyche , les enters the bigfoot hot spot , planting hidden cameras and scent traps , in an effort to elicit an interaction , seeking irrefutable proof . but the longer les hunts for sasquatch , the weirder things get .
les begins his search in east texas , invited onto private land by a local who claims to have experienced bigfoot phenomenon for over 35 years . for les to succeed , he has to find concrete proof . he collects dna samples , analyzes tree breaks and plants hidden cameras to lure bigfoot into his frame . combining low - tech with high - tech surveillance puts the odds in his favor , but les has to keep digging if he wants to find out the truth . locals’ stories lead him to the remote mountain terrain of rural utah . here , ungodly screams and tales of haunted hollows find les camped out in a canyon way off the beaten path . les remains firmly planted between skepticism and acceptance . lacking irrefutable evidence , bigfoot is a contradiction . a 10ft monster that he can’t find…
in the first episode of this 2 - part special , les finds himself in a remote track of forested land in alberta , canada , a renowned bigfoot hot spot . inundated by requests from fans to uncover the truth about bigfoot since revealing his own possible bigfoot encounter while shooting survivorman in alaska in 2009 , les seeks to uncover the truth about this elusive and quite possibly fictitious creature . enlisting the help of bigfoot expert todd standing , les goes in as a skeptic , debunking myths and exploring the possibility of purposely broken trees and structures made in ways that seem highly unlikely to be made by natural causes . les makes camp in bowl - like topography to give the beasts of the wilderness the high ground . armed with nothing more than a camera , belt knife and extreme night - vision cameras , les is quickly plunged into a dangerous survival situation where long nights spent alone in bigfoot territory could mean death by mountain lion…or worse .
in the second episode of this 2 - part special , les continues his survival in the remote area of northern alberta to get as close as he can – if that’s possible – to the legend known as sasquatch . full of skepticism , les enlists the help of a bigfoot tracker named todd standing , who claims to have had multiple interactions with the legendary creature in the area . but les isn’t easily swayed . plowing through the evidence and revealing incredible never - before - seen footage that todd has captured over twenty years of tracking bigfoot in the bush , it all seems too incredible to ignore . but les needs 100 % irrefutable proof . for an expedition to yield any success , the search must be made by the most elite of wilderness experts who have the experience to film in the extreme conditions one can expect from the most remote locations . of the 7 billion people on the planet , only les stroud fits the criteria . this is survivorman like you’ve never seen him before .
for years , the appalachian mountains have held mysteries of unexplained creatures and phenomena hidden deep within its hollers and woods . now , a band of six hardcore outdoorsmen have established a monster - hunting team called the appalachian investigators of mysterious sightings ( aims ) , who are on a mission to not only protect their appalachian brethren from the threat of some aggressive cryptids , but are also out to prove that some creatures - like bigfoot , bloodsucking canines , or bipedal hybrid creatures - are truly out there . these men build elaborate traps on an attempt to capture these creatures ; if the team doesn ' t trap one , however , the creature , or creatures , can get too close for comfort . destination america ' s # 1 hit show mountain monsters follows this team into appalachia ' s backwoods , hills , and hollers to prove these mysterious creatures exist in the region that has more sightings of these cryptids than anywhere else in the united states .
