I've always had a soft spot for him.<br /><br />And a Dickinson fan.<br /><br />Thank you, Yvette. I was hoping to get down to some serious blogging in June, but life got in the way. I hope July will bring more free time.Jacqueline T.

But I will definitely take a look at the free download. <br /><br />Thanks too, for the Emily Dickinson poem. You write some wonderful posts, Jacqueline. <br /><br /> Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-13744952010900712592013-06-11T19:13:29.602-04:002013-06-11T19:13:29.602-04:00I like this bit here: "What words would be be...I like this bit here: "What words would be better than their faces when Larry learns Mary is Dan Thorn's intended? and we get to linger there ... in silence the bite is deeper. <br /><br />The visual and the hearing are two different levels of perception and one has to pay close attention during silence..."<br /><br />So well put, Anne.

I have to say I love those early sound movies that are so close to the preceding era, silent techniques are still in use.<br /> <br />What words would be better than their faces when Larry learns Mary is Dan Thorn's intended? and we get to linger there ... in silence the bite is deeper. <br /><br />The visual and the hearing are two different levels of perception and one has to pay close attention during silence <br /><br />I actually found Dan more attractive than Larry...until there was, as you pointed out, no passion from Dan. It was all for the railroad. Larry had vastly more of the needed caveman impulse Mary was waiting for and won her( even thought the caveman stuff would not of won Mary for Dan...there would at least be some passion for her) <br /><br />I found it interesting Larry was older than a "kid" as Dan kept calling him...because it was like Mary and this job Dan got him was his last best chance etc. heightening the drama <br /><br />About the steam engines...Mother of Peal! I wasn't a big fab when the film stated, but wow I love 'em now<br /><br />Thanks!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033117202223821117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-41224805056796983982013-06-09T17:55:02.805-04:002013-06-09T17:55:02.805-04:00Thanks so much for your comments, Anne.

I'll be going over to You Tube directly <br /><br />When you write of these films, you put me on the edge of my seat like a good film itself . This is a gift <br /><br /><br /><i>Wolheim’s tenderness comes out when comforting a fellow railroad man whose wife has just died. It’s a fine scene, and though we may suffer for Jean, we cannot deny that Wolheim is a good man.</i><br /><br />That's very interesting because it makes the fact she can't love him even more painful ...there's no good reason not to for her to hide behind . She has to stand in the limelight of she just doesn't <br /><br /><i>Wolheim is unable to take Jean to a company picnic, so he directs Armstrong to do it</i><br /><br />Och! Classic John Aldridge stuff <br /><br /><i>Such is the orgasmic excitement when a speeding train passes within 18 inches of you. So it would seem.</i><br /><br />works for me! <br /><br />That window sequence! WOW. Because a field separates them, she can be open to everything that whistle is saying.<br /><br /><br />Another gem you have alerted me to! Thanks!
