Continuing on, with Carlotta's response to Tracy saying something is wrong:
CARLOTTA
Anything I've done?
153 CONTD CONTD 153
TRACY
No...no...never mind.
Carlotta looks at her.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 73/Scene 153 - Carlotta: 'What is it, Mrs. Collins? You don't seem very happy here. Whereas Mr. Collins seems --'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 73/Scene 153 - Tracy (flaring): 'I don't think that's any of you business.'
- coming up.
And so far as differences with the dialogue go, it's odd that Carlotta's "Anything I've done?" is crossed out in DC's script and replaced with "Is there anything I can do?", but not only does Carlotta say the original line in the film, the line isn't crossed out/replaced in Grayson's script - and when it comes to today's first quote, Carlotta only gets as far as "Whereas Mr. Collins --" before Tracy angrily cuts her off with today's second quote.
And so far as the differences with the descriptions and the directions go, there's nothing different - though something that isn't covered in the script is how Tracy settles back down in the chair as she waves away Carlotta's supposed concern that she may have done something wrong - and I do have to say that when it comes to Carlotta looking at Tracy, I love how Carlotta uses a turn of her head to emphasize that -
- Tracy doesn't seem very happy.
I really love Kate Jackson in these sequences (well, in the whole film, actually). She was so good at playing the heartbroken wife, both here and in Making Love. It's a shame she didn't get more lead roles in theatrical films. Such a fine actor, who made every scene believable; the audience couldn't help but empathize with her.
Those head tilts, and the muted sarcasm disguised as concern, are VERY Grayson.
Excellent screen shots here! Thank you!

And very much fun to watch.
Maggie comes in and tells Barnabas she wants to speak to him. She sends the kids upstairs. David asks if something's the matter, but she brushes him off. The kids overhear her telling Barnabas what happened. He reads the note and tells her he didn't want to believe it before, but Vicki must really be trying to contact them. What will they do? We can't leave the house, insists Barn--Vicki needs my help, and I must stay and help her.
The Italian lobby cards give Gerard a more prominent place than he has in the actual film.
I have a couple from Speedway and they feature Nancy Sinatra in an outfit that she did not wear in the movie, a bikini that was not standard attire for the IRS agent that she's playing. It's also been recolored. The bikini is white but appears as an odd shade of green on the lobby card. Her other outfits have been recolored as well. Seemed pretty random.
Weird.
The colorizing is bad enough, but my biggest pet peeve with the colorizing in the lobby cards is there's little consistency. In two Tracy's jacket is red -
- and in two others it's blue -
The funny thing, though, if you notice, Gerard's jacket is consistent...
