I got a kick out of your comment "Ricardo was best as the slimy lothario, getting murdered by jilted ladies," but it's nice to see he also had range in SYMPHONY OF SIX MILLION! Many thanks for your enthusiastic comment, my friend! I hope you'll enjoy my post about SATAN MET A LADY, too, and the the upcoming finale, the 1941 version of THE MALTESE FALCON! Thanks for your kind kudos, as always, and warmest wishes to you and your fam!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-13808129417596023062014-01-14T13:08:27.675-05:002014-01-14T13:08:27.675-05:00Thanks for sending me the Dwight Frye post, Becks!...Thanks for sending me the Dwight Frye post, Becks!

This would not be in my greatest hits of his, but still I enjoy it a lot for him and all the glam you and commenters have mentioned. Ricardo was best as the slimy lothario, getting murdered by jilted ladies BUT having said that he was also wonderful in Symphony of Six Million as a decent misguided doctor, if you haven't seen it. <br />This IS a great idea for posts, look forward to the thrilling conclusion :) <br />Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659951781597698530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-52643045922918472162013-12-31T15:09:23.744-05:002013-12-31T15:09:23.744-05:00Dorian, I did the Dwight Frye post for Rick's ...Dorian, I did the Dwight Frye post for Rick's Cafe a while back.

"Dori-Tenore" had me smiling! The radio broadcast with our pals Eddie and Laird was part of the 3-pack with Cortez and Warren William, the latter of which I'll post over the weekend. If you have your Dwight Frye post, I'd love to read that one, too! We've really missed you, Big Sis, and we hope you continue to be happy and well, and looking forward to reading more of your wonderful writing with 2014 mere hours away!

It was so fun to see the earlier version. What I DON'T have is the radio show with Edward G. Robinson and Laird Cregar! I love both of them, and would LOVE to hear this. I'm a big Ricardo Cortez fan, and was really excited to see Dwight Frye as poor Wilmer the "gunsel". I did a piece on Frye a long while back. I loved this article with all the history of the story. Good stuff as always, Dor!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-37167610698797811382013-12-24T13:05:12.516-05:002013-12-24T13:05:12.516-05:00John, despite my describing Bebe Daniels as a &quo...John, despite my describing Bebe Daniels as a "miffed flapper" in the 1931 version of THE MALTESE FALCON, I nevertheless agree that she was also a hot little dish indeed! :-) I'm glad you're enjoying the 1931 version as well. <br /><br />Vinnie and Siobhan and I truly wish you and Dorothy a very Merry Christmas, and we hope you'll have a Happy New Year with more movie fun and frolic in 2014! :-DDorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-57290607142527922152013-12-24T10:57:08.425-05:002013-12-24T10:57:08.425-05:00The first version is a bit slow at times but I lik...The first version is a bit slow at times but I like it and its so damn sexy thanks to Bebe Daniels! The Bogie/Huston version is the best, and one of my all time favorites, but this is a nice alternate version. Had no idea about how Mr. Hammett's name has been mispronounced by so many over the years, including myself. I have this three disc set and agree it's great.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Vinnie and SiobhanJohn/24Frameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719659042858962026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-76602332462353797482013-12-23T14:19:02.237-05:002013-12-23T14:19:02.237-05:00Eve, we of Team Bartilucci HQ are happy to have yo...Eve, we of Team Bartilucci HQ are happy to have you join our "3 Faces of The Maltese Falcon" conversation!

One thing that stands out for me is the sets. Oh my gosh, how I would love to have all of that space and all of that furniture. I think eliminating the coda with Sam visiting Brigid in the clink would have been a good idea, but they didn't ask me. We will not confuse things with the fact that I wasn't around.<br /><br />I have gotten to the point where I don't even mention Mr. Hammett's first name any more. All my life I pronounced it as you did, and then Osbourne burst my bubble. I find that happens a lot when I watch TCM. Sigh.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours.

It sounds rather juicy!<br /><br />What a wonderful gift – to have all three movies plus the book. Ah, that's how you know it's true love. :)<br /><br />This is a wonderful review.
