"Whenever I have to lose weight for a role (as I did some time ago when I had to look ill and undernourished for my role in The Snake Pit), I go to Terry Hunt’s and have steam baths, massage, and exercise—then I just cut myself down to 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day. For breakfast, I have lemon juice in hot water, and coffee, without sugar and cream. I have a large lunch—generally vegetables because of their low caloric value. I have a little book on calories."

-Olivia De Havilland, Photoplay, Jan. 1951

for the favorite movie of the year ask: 1939, 1948, 1953, 1969, 1987

1939: The Women...at least it's the one I watch the most from that year (there's a lot of good choices)!

1948: The Snake Pit

1953: It's a tie between Roman Holiday

And Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

1969: I was going to pick Anne of the Thousand Days...but then I found out that the Swedish film Pippi Longstocking was released that year and I LOVED that movie when I was a kid!

1987: Dirty Dancing

Thanks for asking!!

Bow down, bow down and yield himself and lay his life in those pierced hands as a vanquished man yields his sword into the hands of the victorious knight. In this last year, since he had turned adulterer, he had always refused to think of God's mercy–it would be unmanly and dishonorable to look for it now. So long had he feared and fled from the justice of men–should he pray for mercy now, when his case had grown so old that perhaps he would be spared paying the full price of it among men? Something told him that, having evaded men's justice, he must be honest enough not to try to elude the judgement of God. But tonight, as he journeyed under the winter moon like one who has been snatched out of time and life, on the very shore of eternity, he saw the truth of what he had been told in childhood: that the sin above all sins is to despair of God's mercy. To deny the heart which the lance has pierced the chance of forgiving.

The Snake Pit (Anatole Litvak, 1948)

#the snake pit #film still

[quotation--marks]

‘I’m not so young,’ said Virginia. ‘I’m...’ How old am I? What year is this? What month? Her birthday was in the summer; had it come and gone? Quickly she selected an age that was substantial and uncontroversial. ‘I’m thirty-five,’ she said.  Miss Hoover sucked her breath in and said that wasn’t old, not really old. The way she said it you knew she was astounded to learn that she had been talking to a thirty-five-year-old just as if that antique was a regular person.

640 to go

Gun Crazy (1950, dir. Joseph H. Lewis): The comparisons to Bonnie and Clyde are unavoidable and not exactly in this film’s favor. 

Shadows (1959, dir. John Cassavetes): Cassavetes was far ahead of his time in terms of experimental narrative film. A good film but not a great one, with some very interesting ideas.

Summer with Monika (1953, dir. Ingmar Bergman): This is why sex education is so important.

Chungking Express (1994, dir. Wong Kar-wai): I liked it a lot but I think I’m gonna need to rewatch it sober to fully appreciate it 🙈

Brief Encounter (1945, dir. David Lean): I thought the set-up was very interesting but I didn’t quite buy the main couple and the narration got to be way too much for me.

Far from Heaven (2002, dir. Todd Haynes): This movie kept reminding me of All That Heaven Allows. And turns out it was one of the main inspirations! The look of this film is impeccable and the melodrama is delicious, though the repeated emphasis on Julienne Moore being a good white woman who is Not At All Racist was kind of clumsy and distracting.

The Snake Pit (1948, dir. Anatole Litvak): Olivia de Havilland is a legend for a reason! I won’t say this film is a perfect portrait of mental illness but there were a lot of little behaviors that felt familiar to me from my work that I haven’t seen depicted like that in film before.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947, dir. Joseph L. Mankiewicz): I was so charmed by the synopsis and this movie did not let me down! I didn’t expect how melancholic it would be but obviously that just made it better.

Dog Star Man (1965, dir. Stan Brakhage): What did I just watch.

Blow Up (1966, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni): Has there ever been a director who captures the ennui of the modern human condition like Antonioni?
