I always loved Tallulah Bankhead in Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat, but never really thought about why I’d never really seen her in much of anything else. Turns out she didn’t like Hollywood much and spent most of her career on stage. You can learn more about her and this pretty good movie by clicking here.
Not all classic films are true “classics” if you catch my meaning. Case in point is this Tallulah Bankhead film which is rather dull to watch. It does have some great Pre-Code moments – sexual innuendo, human branding and attempted rape – but that still can’t save it from being an utter bore. Here’s my full review.
