Talk:The Bad and the Beautiful

Not sure where I'm supposed to post this so feel free to move it. The author of the story that this film is based upon is listed as George Bradshaw, however the Academy Awards page lists it as Charles Bradshaw. I can't find definite confirmation either way.

 * it's George... just viewed the film last night. 76.218.248.127 (talk) 16:42, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Real-life personalities!!
for me that was part of the 'fun' of this movie... the Von Ellstein character i always thought was director von Stroheim.. perhaps not?

in the case of a Judy Garland-ese character, one can easily be seen and HEARD during the crashed party scene.. sitting as she was known to do, near the piano, singing singing singing..

and of course the use of Leo G. Carroll is no surprise, almost a compliment.. as Mr Carroll had by that time worked w/ Hitch on at least 4 films.. the female companion giving her unsolicited opinion, a dead give-away.


 * and finally this film released in 1952 appears same time as release of two other classics, re: the industry: 'All About Eve' and 'Sunset Boulevard'. 76.218.248.127 (talk) 17:11, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
