lol - I watched 'The Two Jakes' again not so long ago, because all I can recall from seeing it when it first came out is that it was disappointing.Quote:

'Chinatown' is one of my top ten though.
The Mouse on the Moon, 1963.. more old and light for Sunday... has to be a comedy if bernard is the male love interest.. lol

mostly as i found. better than i originally thought and as a individual film quite decent, but off back of chinatown it failed somewhatQuote:

The Bishop's Wife, 1947...
https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...LvEdHFllg0NDVm
poor old bishop,(david niven) has the task of fending off the attentions of an angel,(cary grant) to his wife,(loretta young) and vis a vis, and wishing he hadn't prayed for help...Market research showed that moviegoers avoided the film because they thought it was religious. So, Samuel Goldwyn decided to re-title it Cary and the Bishop's Wife for some US markets, while adding a black text box with the question "Have you heard about CARY AND THE BISHOP'S WIFE?" on posters in markets where the film kept the original title. By adding Cary Grant's first name to the title the film's business increased by as much as 25 per cent.
it was pretty good, it was the first ever winner of the Cannes Palm D'Or although it wasn't actually awarded until 2000.Quote:
