I was pleased to see Paulette Goddard on your list, even though I don't think she'll be on mine. She's got SOMEthing doesn't she? Good call on Marilyn. Much to my surprise, I see her on my short list too...recent viewings of The Misfits and The Seven Year Itch have caused me to rethink me perception of her as an icon whose work I enjoyed, but who I never considered a personal favorite.<BR/><BR/>And Ginger and Audrey will be very, very high on my list.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and add me to the extremely pro-Graduate chorus - your review on that should be very interesting...<BR/><BR/>(Sorry, if you got an e-mail attributing this comment to "Susan"; I was writing on a friend's computer - my area has been out of power lately - and forgot to sign her name out.

I hope yo...@Shawn and dcd: Thanks for the comments. I hope you both make some of your own!<BR/><BR/>@Tony: Excellent, thanks for the link. I guess I'm not surprised to have Monroe when most people don't. I've always thought she was a better actress than most people give her credit for, although certainly no Hepburn in terms of sheer skill and depth. Yet I find her so mesmerizing that it's hard not to enjoy her when she's on screen, and I suppose that's one of the traits any great performer should have. And, by all means, please do steal that Kelly photo. I got mine from the 1,000 Frames project at HitchcockWiki. Lots of great material there if you ever need a good screenshot from a Hitchcock movie.<BR/><BR/>@FilmDr: Uh oh. Well, you'll definitely have a lot to say about my review of <I>The Graduate</I> when I get around to posting it in the future. I completely believe it stands up in a shot-by-shot analysis, as you say, and Nichols certainly deserved Best Director that year. As far as the film <I>looks</I>, I've never been able to find a fault, and I love the camerawork and Nichols' aesthetic, but the script is its most damning element. I cannot be included among its fans if we're looking at it as a package deal, though I will always stand by its strengths and positive elements (Bancroft, the camerawork and Nichols' direction).T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-48800559673299720452008-12-12T12:10:00.000-05:002008-12-12T12:10:00.000-05:00Nice list, and thanks for the challenge, but The G...Nice list, and thanks for the challenge, but <I>The Graduate</I> is NOT overrated.

Of course the ones you mentioned in your intro are musts. <BR/><BR/>I really love that you picked Anne Bancroft, especially in The Graduate, which is coincidentally my favorite film. This comes much to every other blogger I come in contact withs chagrin.<BR/><BR/>Faye Dunaway, of course. Madeleine Kahn, YES!
