Must see: “Queen Bee”
So, before I left work for convalescence, I got those really nice ‘get well’ cards from my co-workers. One co-worker suggested I Netflix some Joan Crawford movies; of the ones he mentioned, the only one that was available from Netflix was “Queen Bee.”
Dude. I keep re-watching the first few minutes since it has so many great quotes. Hilarious, though unwittingly (?) so. The quotes listed as memorable on the IMDb quotes page for the movie aren’t even close.
Now, I have to wonder if this was recommended because the main character’s name (the villainess played by Crawford) is named Eva. I don’t think I’m much like J.C. at all… so I’m OK.
I will, at some point, jot down all the kitschy, catty bits.
Here’s a bit for now. I’ve included the captions for you:
And now I will read some more stories from Alice Munro’s Selected Stories, one of my new Amazon purchases.
P.S. Here’s a laugh, too. It’s been around a while, and the laugh track is annoying, but who’s really watched everything on YouTube? I advise watching with the sound off.
