Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 13 - The Winners!

Walter Lang's On the Riviera is by no means a great film – it's solidly mediocre at best. However, this musical comedy of errors does star the beautiful Ms. Tierney (looking undeniably gorgeous), with Danny Kaye doing a fine job in dual roles as an entertainer and a wealthy businessman. (Hence the alt-text clue, "Gene with two Ks.") But what makes the film truly interesting is that it features the actual painting of Gene Tierney that got Dana Andrews all hot and bothered in Preminger's Laura. It's a rare opportunity to see the painting in color. Yeah, it's kind of geeky, but I bought the DVD for that reason alone. We're in the middle of week three of NYFF press screenings, and I've just seen Gus van Sant's Paranoid Park (one of his best), and Todd Haynes' I'm Not There, which I'm sad to report was a bit of a letdown. Oh well. . . Though many of you racked up an impressive 10-13 points this round, only three people managed to get a perfect score of 14 (12 + 2 bonus questions.) They are: Mike F, Max G, and JK M. Congrats you three – once again any DVD used in this round is yours for the asking. (Sorry though, I can't offer the Cassavetes box.) Thanks to all who participated in what was a fairly difficult round. Be sure to check back next week for the start of Round 14. Tell your friends!

No surprise there, Todd Haynes has always been a bit disappointing for me, not matter how amazing his gimmicks sound.

"Paranoid Park" sounds great--any project that combines Gus Van Sant and Christopher Doyle immediately has my attention.

I'm a huge Dylan fan & I'm really dreading having to watch "I'm Not There". The few scenes I've watched so far have been embarrassingly bad.
