Return

Ooops, I seem to be a bit late for the Lambs discussion.

I wish to say that I like the TCM channel. Ninotchka was just on. There's a scene there I saw while munching on my lunch, where Greta and some male actor were drunk and she said she should be stood up against the wall for betraying Russia, so he stood her up against the wall, blindfolded her, kissed her (I think) and then sat down and popped open the champagne bottle. They then walked over to the safe box and she opened it for him, and he gazed over her shoulder at Russia's crown jewels.

What I wanted to say is there was so much sexual tension in that scene, you could feel the guy's hard-on (calm down, cellar) as he stood behind her looking at the jewels. And they were totally dressed and didn't say or do anything 'doity'. Compare that with 21st century films, where anything less than a wet beaver shot doesn't do it for us any more. Hah.
