To paraphrase "Alice in Wonderland", typicaler and typicaler...
Or curiouser and curiouser....
I think that is part of the reason why I started this thread, because I do have an inkling curiosity for 30's cinema, since so many have revered it. I just don't know if I can bring myself to waste time within it, as there are so many other films I haven't seen from later eras that look more appealing.
I have seen Mutiny On The Bounty as well, but I didn't really like it in comparison to the Brando and Howard 60's version which often gets maligned in comparison for some reason. I don't see anything wrong with this spectacle and its glorious setting and cinematography. Brando was always appealing for me to watch in his heyday too and I have always liked Trevor Howard. I really like Lean's Brief Encounter - 45' with Celia Johnson.
The 30's churned out films like no tomorrow, it is good to have other posters recommendations too.
I like "Brief Encounter", simple and very moving.
"Munity on the Bounty" is exactly the type of movie I avoid. Between the 35 and 62 version, I would pick the latter only because of Brando. I don't know, maybe I will give it a shot some time.
"curiouser and curiouser" Yes! So you've read the book? I've read it once. Also, "Through the Looking Glass". They are both dazzling, charmimg stories.
