Who had a better 1936, William Powell or Jean Renoir? |

Ya pretty good year for those guys. Though, at least for Renoir, it's a good year largely in hindsight. The guy must have been real frustrated back in 36; seeing as his best film from that year was essentially unfinished and unreleased. |

Wish I had rewatched The Secret Agent for this poll. It's just been too long since I watched that old Wal-Mart VHS. Maybe I'll give Libeled Lady another chance, too. Undoubtedly my expectations were high for that cast, but low for the director. But maybe my problem was with the script, because I just don't recall laughing much. As for Powell and Renoir: Powell made out better commercially, Renoir artistically (even with the truncation of Day in the Country -- and I say this without having seen two of his 1936 films). |

Truly sorry I missed out on watching this for the poll; I couldn't find my Sacha Guitry Criterion box anywhere in the apartment... |

French films FTW. And you guys need to seriously get on Monsieur Lang and La Belle Equip. Kudos to Russ for turning me onto the latter. Camille was literally my last cut. I had accidentally sent Vorn a list of 21 because I had the two Mizoguchi's tied. |

I've seen Story of a Cheat, La Belle Equipe and Le Crime de M. Lange -- I just preferred the Ozu, Mizoguchi, Yamanaka and Shimizu to them. Japan, FTW in the vornporn dojo! |

Bark! Go away

Holding off on adding your rating to the database? And which ending did you see -- the original downbeat director-approved one or the producer-mandated "happy" one? Or both? |

Hmm, must have forgotten to add my pro-... rectified. Saw the original downbeat ending --think the disc gave me an option which one to choose. |

I'm pissed. This was on TCM OnDemand and I was looking forward to watching it before the poll. By the time I casually settled in to watch it, it was gone. Dagnabit. |
