Then Jeff’s filibuster gambit would have failed, Taylor would have won and Jeff would have been ousted from the Senate.
Agreed. I would have at least liked to see Jeff and Clarissa embrace.
If the reporters were inclined to press charges he could receive multiple charges of battery which is generally a misdemeanor but can, depending upon aggravating circumstances, result in a felony. The fact that he had punched so many people could be such an aggravating circumstance. Likewise if one had been serious injured. Of course, Smith might have sued them all for libel but I doubt he would have won since the mocking headlines and unflattering photos were generally permitted.
In the movie, the reporters seem to take the punches in stride - like it was an expected occupational hazard - and see them as, to some degree, warranted.
The facts of the case, as presented in the film, strongly suggest her guilt.
Underrated? Very much so. Masterpiece? No. IMO, the cinematography, alone, is excellent.
Yeah, too old. She could pass for a woman in her early 30s but not her early 20s.
My interpretation, as well.
Chim Chim Cheree
Bert the pavement artist is acting out a scene from his drawing of a circus.
I enjoy the bank scenes as an adult but didn’t as a child. As a child, I didn’t even realize that the old bank chairman was played by Dick Van Dyke.
I think the film gives the impression that Bert is smitten by Mary but that Mary wants to keep their relationship strictly platonic — at least for the time being.
Could be. Or gay. Or she just didn’t fancy Bert or any if his grimy friends.
It doesn’t take much to arouse a teen boy.
We can see that Mr. Banks was a sweet man by the film’s end. Mary showed him what is truly important in life and brought out the better side of his nature.
I thought it was visually remarkable (e.g., sets and costumes) but that the music and lyrics were instantly forgettable.
My thought when watching was that it was a quite small, if nicely appointed flat with a private garden in central London.
It also bothered me that Mark was so keen to admit to Tony and, later, the inspector that he and Margot had had an affair when Margot clearly wanted to keep it under wraps. It’s possible that his conscience was bothering him but it can’t be denied he stood to benefit from blowing up Margot’s marriage.
Well she did have to endure losing a trial for a crime for which she had been framed and live for some time believing she would be executed as a criminal. And she later learned her husband had tried to have her killed. So she didn’t exactly get off scot-free. The ordeal was enough to give a person a mental breakdown.
That said, she’s not a totally sympathetic character.
Yes, he speculates that he overwound it, which seems plausible.
Dang, I was hoping you were referring to the inadvertent exposure of an actress’ body part.
He surreptitiously recorded all of his personal phone calls, too. He was an odd duck.
