Great news.
... now if someone could unearth those missing series one episodes of The Avengers. 🤓
As promised (a little late however).
The Joan Bennett clips are from "Woman In the Window" and "The Reckless Moment"

.... or TV lawyers. 😂
Thank you for hosting @idletalk12.bsky.social. I've wanted to see this film for a while now. It exceeded my expectations. Until next week when Lupino and Ryan grace the screen.

Andy Sidaris and a ton of former Playboy playmates. I think they referred to his films as "the pension plan!"
A great film is one where you feel the pain of all of the major players ......
.... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Based on his imdb page, Roy Roberts was in a lot of TV shows.
😂
... so does Chris Cross! 😂
The bank loan scene (the other highlighted on that program) is so heartbreaking. Yet, it replicates what so many women went through until relatively recently.

The Reckless Moment was “remade” in 2001 as “The Deep End” w/Tila Swinton and (IIRC) was favorably reviewed at the time – not to be confused with a 1970 film of the same name which featured Paul McCartney’s one-time GF Jane Asher.

BINGO!!!!!
In an odd way, Martin becomes her relief.
"You don't know how a family can surround you at times" was one of the clips used. Outstanding performances by Bennett and Mason.

FYI,
When Eddie Muller was interviewed about his "Dark City Dames" book by a public radio station last year, one of the hosts played two clips from #TheRecklessMoment as examples of Ms. Bennett's versatility. I'll try to find that youtube program.

Believe it or not Bea, Martin is a significant improvement over your (now dead) boyfriend! 🤓

#TheRecklessMoment
In re-reading the plot summary for #TheRecklessMoment today, I found the relationship that develops between Martin (James Mason) and Lucia (Joan Bennett) very affecting.

BTW: Joan Bennett looks great with glasses!!! 😍

Pro tip (from Al Roberts): "just go to the police" hiding these dead bodies never turns out well.

Joan Bennett appreciation post.
IIRC, 1977's "Suspiria" was her final film role as she transitioned to mostly TV by the mid 1950s (i.e., Dark Shadows!!!!)

A fact that no one asked for:
If Geraldine Brooks looks familiar to fans of the old “Get Smart” TV show – she should. Ms. Brooks played “Tracy Dunhill” – a daughter of KAOS in a particularly memorable episode: she tries to kill Max (Agent 86) with poison lipstick!

This boyfriend is sleazy!!!

Actress Joan Bennett (1910-1990) was 39 years old at the time of #TheRecklessMoment and is still (IMO) as stunningly beautiful as always folks. Not the femme fatale of “Woman In the Window” but still stunning.

From "Trailers From Hell": writer Glenn Erickson called this a razor-sharp “domestic film noir” so I’m all-in for this ....
.... plus Joan Bennett. 😍

There is no "proof" that I'm responsible for all that destruction in Tokyo. Maybe the residents did it themselves!
IYKYK 🙄
#DarkVictory is my "must watch" list (Bogie + Davis!), but there is a group watch of "The Reckless Moment" tonight. I think that "Dark Victory" will also be on TCM on March 31st at 8:00PM.
Enjoy!!!!!
Oh, I think that Dorothy Malone is about 5 minutes from being a "very bad" good girl here! 😍
