YouTube - Auntie Mame - "I stepped on the ping pong ball"

ROSALIND
"What is?"
The other day I was reminded of this great little scene in Auntie Mame (1958) where Rosalind Russell barely speaks but her subtle body language and facial expressions speak volumes. Amazing.

P.S. Check out Coral Browne 'screwing' a fresh glass of booze into Rosalind's hand at the end of the clip. 😆

The breakneck pace of our first film, Billy Wilder's ONE, TWO, THREE (1961) inspired this week's second pick. Going back to almost two decades earlier, we watch the mother of all snappy-dialogue pictures, HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940, Howard Hawks) youtu.be/vI5wKT-LrXM

With her performances in The Poseidon Adventure and The Mad Room firmly ensconced on their high perch over there, Stella Stevens as Sister George in Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows is my favorite. A toast to Stella!

Rosalind Russell with a CBS microphone c. early 1950s.

As well as being among the terrific actresses, she had a very adequate grasp of radio works (drama, comedy… narration stints) too. I wished she narrated more often!

I may have had one too many Cosmos while watching Auntie Mame but isn’t it the best?
