Girls, Do Not Watch This If You Have Already Seen It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                  Why is "Svengoolie' dragging out that 1966 chestnut, "Munster, Go Home," out of the vault for another screening?  I am telling you, having seen it, stretching out these TV series characters to a feature length film, and depicting them in color is tedious and make the actors look fake, which they do not in the black-and-white half sour sitcom of their lives.



                                     Poor Yvonne De Carlo looks the worst in this.  But she got even, when, five years later, she originated the role of Carlotta Campion in Prince/Sondheim/s "FOLLIES," and brought the house down with her rendition of "I'm Still Here."  Remember her that way, dears.



                                     So, we will watch something else tonight.  But we will not make the mistake we did several weeks ago.  That week, "Svengoolie" was showing "The Monolith Monsters," which I refused to see a second time.  We turned to Pay Per View and found a 2024 film entitled "The Twisters," which I mistakenly thought was the film "Twisters," opening later this coming week.  It had twisters, all right, but only stock footage superimposed against actors clearly going nowhere.  It was almost as bad as "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken," another film to avoid on "Svengoolie."



                                     Darlings, hopefully we will make a better choice this week. How I would love to see "Die! Die," My Darling!" with Tallulah Bankhead and Stefanie Powers.  You got to see the scene where Tallulah force feeds the unsweetened oatmeal to Stefanie.  And how about Yootha Joyce as housekeeper/sadist Anna???????????????



                                       Now, THAT would be an evening of fun, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I read a biography of Yvonne Decarlo many years ago.
    One thing that stood out to me, was she had a Lot of romantic relationships.
    As a one-man gal myself, that has always fascinated me.

  2. Victoria,
    Yes, Yvonne got around. Which made her rendition of "I'm Still Here" in "FOLLIES" more poignant.
