    Just for a short while.

    Marry her Oliver- if you’ll be stuck with someone you don’t like forever, might as well get the marriage tax deduction.

    *VB*, I agree, it’s a classic, with good acting. Eileen Heckert won an Oscar for her role.

    If she buys that I HAVE to know your technique.

    mrbribery…………I think your technique is a dozen long stemmed roses and a box of Godiva.

    Pay him no mind. He’s just a miserable person who takes pleasure in trying to bring other people down.

    Nobody died and made him boss anyway.

    Marg, someone else used that nym, with the shrunken heads part.

    LS712: I have found a box of Godivas almost always beats a box of shrunken heads…

    Good morning Marg, Leaky, Vista and all you early birds who were here 6 hours ago. And good morning to everyone else as well.

    Marg, the film received 4 Academy Award nominations, but no wins. The nominations were Best Actress in a Leading Role (Nancy Kelly), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Eileen Heckart and Patty McCormack, separately) and Best Cinematography, Black-and-White (Harold Rosson).

    However, Ms Heckart did win the Golden Globe for this film.

    Poor Oliver hasn’t had much luck when it comes to the ladies. The first Mrs. Warbucks was a shrew. Then, after she reformed, she got drowned in a shipwreck. So then he marries Trixie, a show girl, (which may help explain Ollie’s attitude towards Connie) who tried to poison Sandy and send Annie to a reformatory. They ended up separating, though I don’t remember if Trixie or the original Mrs. Warbucks ever put in appearances later. Cartoon strip death was never very permanent in Harold Gray’s comics. Though it may be that Mrs. Warbucks stayed dead, because she was the only character in the strip who knew who Annie’s real parents were, and so far as I can recall, this secret was never revealed.

    I saw “The Bad Seed” on DVD a few years ago.

    After watching the entire movie, I thought I’d watch some of it again with Patty McCormack’s (Rhoda) commentary. She is really funny to listen to. I ended up watching the whole thing again with her commentary.

    In between barbecuing I decided to look in the “chat room”

    Good Afternoon David.

    jtpozenel…..we were having a little fun with the Rhoda character……..she’s quite a topic.

    Wasn’t Daddy “almost” married to that crazy old witch who lived in the woods in Russia??

    I’m terrible at riddles dkram…….you need to spell it out for me. :-))

    A small Dick Tracy-type recap in the first four panels, then the storyline carries on with Connie Gale being taken away as “a person of interest”.

    A warning: If you leaksqueaky and marg don’t start talking more about this strip instead of anything else that doesn’t relate to it, the spammer isn’t the only one that’s going to be flagged!

    Continuity glitch! When Annie first found the body, she was wearing a two-piece suit. Today, it’s a one-piece.

    davidf42I’m sorry to read that no Oscar awards were given. They certainly were deserved. Thanks for the correction. See what happens when I quickly read a blurb, and not the whole article?

    Dampwaffle - I had forgotten all that. I barely remember the first wife, but not the second. Was the second marriage during the Leonard Starr years? I missed most of that era because I was so busy with a lot of other stuff in my life. In fact I think I missed the entire transition era too between Gray and Starr.

    davidf42:

    I saw it on the DVD that I got from my local library. I just looked it up now and saw that it was a 2004 release of the film. 50th anniversary I assume.

    Her commentary runs the full length of the film.

    “Feed them a little poison maybe” ?? Was Daddy kidding, or do you think he really considers Connie that bad a person?
