Lana is so "lady-like" on the screen-----real life, not so much

I bought that a few years ago on dvd. I first saw it when I was a teen and slept over at my cousins. We would all stay up late watching and I just thought of it a few years ago and bought it. Great movie!

One of THE best tearjerkers ever. They don't make 'em like that any more.

I saw it last night too, just seemed so dated, and over acted, but I do love the Lana version.

That's it for me. I'm trashed ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

PS I saw it the first time in the movies in 1966, and have probably seen it 20+ times more over the years.

Sad sad sad...

Oh - and when she turned her head and saw the evil MIL sitting in the back row - that's when she just "knew"......

Another good one was Imitation of Life. I also saw the original with Claudette Colbert...... Mama, Mama

And Back Street, by same author as Imitation of Life, she knew how write em!!!

The only person who ever should play the role is Lana Turner. I cry every time they do the court room scene and her son is with her unknown to her. No one could ever play that role like Lana Turner!!

I totally agree with you on that. That was classic!!

Oh, and what about "The Postman Always Rings Twice?????" Another classic....

You mean this Madame X?

I saw both movies and they were good. Another movie that I saw both versions was Back Street and they were both good too. Back Street starred Susan Hayward and John Gavin and he was so handsome in that movie. But they are tearjerkers.

I watched the original Madame X last night - the one with Gladys George.... I thought it was absolutely terrible. The acting was so overdone - so melo-dramatic. It didn't even bring a tear to my eyes - not even close. I love the old black and white movies but this one was the worst. I think it was made in 1937. I kind of thought it was going to be a silent movie but it was a talkie...... LOL

Don't watch it - it will just spoil the one with Lana Turner.....
