I love the movie, but have to be in the right mood to watch it. It's a lot of noise. After a gin, it helps!
It's the weekend... and as I told the Lad in the words of Martha- "Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me.
George: "You can sit around with the gin running out of your mouth; you can humiliate me; you can tear me to pieces all night, that's perfectly okay, that's all right." Martha: "You can stand it!" George: "I cannot stand it!" Martha: "You can stand it, you married me for it!"
I haven't seen this before. I might have to look for it. We go through phases where sometimes we seek out classic movies to watch. I mean, there are just SO MANY Movies! Some like It Hot is one of my favorites and Bell, Book and Candle is fun too!
A great earlier post. Genius at work.
ReplyDeleteEdward Albee was a genius, and the cast of this film adaptation were all impeccable. It's a masterwork! Jx

ReplyDeleteIt is brilliant - but could not be any further from either of the films you mentioned if it tried! Jx
DeleteA first blush I thought it was 'A Streetcar Named Desire.'
DeleteOh, A Streetcar Named Desire is another fabulously camp OTT film, alright. You're getting a bit closer to the genre with that one! Jx
DeleteMore quotes than you can shake a stick at monkey nipples.
ReplyDeleteGeorge : "Martha? Rubbing alcohol for you?"
DeleteMartha : "Sure! 'Never mix, never worry!'"

All films mentioned were/are still classics.
