Just finished watching. I can’t believe I’ve never seen this film before. So much triangulation in this film... every little group of three has so much tension! Now that I think of it, I guess that’s been there in all four of the films we’ve looked at. Hmmm...

What did you think of Poor Bessie? I feel sorriest for her. Authentic, proud, so in love with Laura. But I guess she probably gets to hang on... as her maid. 😣

And I loved the clocks!

What do we think of Lydecker? I was intrigued by his disdain for “earthy” love. Especially after the first bath scene and his general “foolishness,” which I think coded him as gay. Sort of like Joel Cairo. Did he really love Laura? Or just want her as another of his valuable possessions?

Great film! Curious what others think.

Can’t wait! I met Vincent Price in 1976 after he performed in a play I attended. I remember being stunned at how tall he was. And so very kind. I was a kid and he engaged me in a lovely conversation.
