Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

I love when I see an old movie I'd never even heard of and it just tickles me in all the good ways. That happened yesterday with People Will Talk, a 1951 play adaptation starring Cary Grant and Jeanne Crain. A fantastic follow-up (as in next collaboration, not a sequel or anything) by Mankiewicz and Zanuck to All About Eve. Eve is, of course, far superior but People Will Talk has many of the same elements (adult adults, crisp dialog).

Plus a lot of themes and ideas that resonate well in today's world, and it is nice that the movie does not at all flinch from or condemn Crain's character for being pregnant out of wedlock.
