Wishing you a speedy recovery, J@H.
20908. wonkers2 - 1/21/2007 6:14:39 AM One of the first foreign movies I saw preceded "Mafioso"--it was "Bitter Rice" starring Sylvana Mangano and Vittorio Gassman. I don't remember the plot, except that Mangano was beautiful and quite sexy, and Gassman was the personnification of evil. Mangano preceded Sophia Loren as Italy's sexiest actress, if memory serves me. But she was never in the same league as an actress as Sophia Loren. My film guide says Bitter Rice came out in 1949. I must be getting old! 20909. judithathome - 1/21/2007 6:48:44 AM But she was never in the same league as an actress as Sophia Loren
I think you have that backwards... 20910. wonkers2 - 1/21/2007 6:51:29 AM Maybe. But she didn't make as many pictures or as much money as Loren or Gina Lollobrigida for that matter. I thought she did a great job in "Bitter Rice." I don't remember seeing her again after that. 20911. judithathome - 1/22/2007 12:01:32 AM You never saw The Rose Tattoo?
She was a dynamic actress, far superior to those other two you mentioned, and she did it without the boon of good looks and big tits. 20912. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/22/2007 12:32:24 AM Judith, you must be drugged or getting like Emily Latella. You're confusing Anna Magnani with Sylvana Mangano–different people and different movies. 20913. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/22/2007 12:40:45 AM Oh, and another thing, Anna Magnani's "tits" weren't small an definitely part of her persona and "the act."
 20914. judithathome - 1/22/2007 1:52:33 AM I may be drugged but I'm not confusing the two...Anna was in The Rose Tattoo and she was great.
I realized after I posted that she DID have a rack but unlike Loren, wasn't know for that alone. ;-) 20915. judithathome - 1/22/2007 1:54:50 AM I would say until she made Two Women Loren wasn't taken seriously as an A list actress at all. More of a novelty.
She's a beautiful woman and nothing to sneeze at but not in the same league as Magnani as a dramatic actress. In my opinion, anyhow. 20916. judithathome - 1/22/2007 1:56:01 AM Sorry, Magos, for dragging this into your cafe and not directing it to the movie thread. But it's slow this weekend so maybe it's okay. ;-) 20917. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/22/2007 6:13:38 AM Wonkers wasn't talking about Anna, he was referring to Sylvanna. Reread above. 20918. wonkers2 - 1/22/2007 4:34:20 PM Thanks Wiz. I'm not sure how I neglected to mention Anna Magnani. Of course she was a greater actress than Sofia Loren. The "Rose Tattoo" is a classic. Silvana Mangano had one thing in common with Loren--they both married movie moguls-Dino de Laurentis and Carlo Ponti. 20919. Magoseph - 1/22/2007 5:01:01 PM It's okay, Judith, of course--here we talk about everything.
Hello, Wiz, Wonk--snow where you are? 20920. alistairconnor - 1/22/2007 5:16:44 PM Looking like snow over here. First serious snow of the winter, starting tonight most likely. 20921. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/22/2007 5:42:18 PM Hi Mago–no snow in Connecticut. 20922. judithathome - 1/22/2007 6:48:57 PM Ooops. Sorry...I thought Anna was in the movie he mentioned. 20923. judithathome - 1/22/2007 6:49:57 PM So what's going on with WC? I wonder when people are going to get tired of the outages over there.
maybe it's working for some but not for me. I can't even get the Home page to come up anymore. 20924. wonkers2 - 1/22/2007 11:30:27 PM That movie, "Bitter Rice," was before your time, Judith! Sylvana Mangano didn't make very many movies. She married Dino de Laurentis and apparently settled down as a housewife. 20925. arkymalarky - 1/23/2007 5:05:23 AM My satellite internet is put off until March, which may be good, since we'll be pretty busy until then and I don't need the diversion. When it comes in I'll probably check out WC again and a couple of other places.
Bob got me Sirius for Christmas and hooked it up this weekend. I'm really going to like it on my commute. It works the whole way, which sort of surprised me.
