Barn, saying "The Letter 'M' Above the Doorway; his name is Mephistopholes" or whatever.
So, I googled this, and eventually, I'm on IMDb.
One of the listings is Doctor Faustus, 1967 with Richard Burton & Liz Taylor (never heard of this from them before).

Has anyone seen this rendering? Good/bad?

There are others listed, would anyone recommend one version over another?

Thanks,

Patti

'Page 15' (page??), "Joe says.........."

Who is this specific Joe? 90? 04? What's his real name and why do I know him?

Again, why PAGE (not ep)?

Actually, right now, waiting for the 2-min rule, on side montage, I see Barbara Steele (Julia, 90, right?), right underneath him is a man, who I'm 'ass-u-ming' is a Prof Stokes; is it?

Please, if you've never seen 1970 PT or read it, stop reading here, because it will be complete spoilage.

Random questions:

Liz=? Is she Elizabeth Collins Stoddard? Is Carolyn her daughter? How is Quentin related to her?

Roger=? Collins? How related?

Amy=?_____________?? (And, not much longer until she leaves, correct?)

Do we ever know how Will Loomis got caught up with the Collins'?


In Robservations ep 1027 I believe, Robin postulates on Thayer David's reaction to his 'step-daughter'. Then she says, "Is this why Alexis left for Florence? So she could find, _______, ________, and fortune (or fame)?
Did I miss something? Yes, she was in Florence, but was she some gifted sculptress?

Also, Robin mentions what a great/terrible HOFFMAN character is!!! Brava!

Now, I don't think any soaps (yet alone back then), would say, "Hey, for something new, let's 'borrow from' another novel.

Grayson (as well as J Frid) probably would've seen the obvious "Rebecca" 'borrowing'. Grayson is outstanding in this.

Has anyone ever heard of or if Grayson studying either the novel, or XOXO Judith Anderson's portrayal?

(For that matter, was 'Rebecca' ever put on as a play? I think it would be very daunting, because there's more than 2-3 backgrounds/sceneries.)

Love, Love, LOVE that Barn didn't let any moss grow on him; he knew 'h e r' shanigans almost from the get-go!

As we all know, as a witch, Ang has never been the sharpest tack in the bunch, but, with her own eyewitness of 'another parallel' featuring 'another Julia Hoffman', she might have at least thought, he, who is this guy? Does he know me from that 'other place'?

WHY AREN'T WE SEEING MORE CAROLYN!!
Yes, I realize it's Ang, Maggie, Hoffman, and some of Elizabeth, plus there's some chick who likes to 'play doctor'.

Where's David?

Is Bruno still around (again, I just finished 1027). I think not....

In this stor arc, Roger completely reminds me of the (((((Clifton Webb)))) in "Laura".

Hoping onyx_treasure and NightShadow342 have wonderful and delightful Thursday Birthdays. And many more!!

On side pic, there's Don Brisco. I thought he looked unusually tall and somewhat guant, but I remembered that's how he looked during 1897.

His character was Tim Shaw, correct?

But that got me to thinking; at some point, isn't Mr. CHiPs Sebastian Shaw?

Any relation? Or, am I wrong about character(s) names?

Thanks,

Patti

Were those love letters from Quentin to Angelique real, I wonder? I guess he loved Angelique when they were first married, but that's ancient history, and why Maggie can't sense that he no longer feels that way, I just don't know; she apparently has self-esteem issues.

Did he? Ever?

[spoiler] Because as we know from "Rebecca", within just a few days of their marriage, Rebecca told Max things, 'that he'd never repeat to another person'. And, he tells the 2nd Mrs. DeWinter, "You thought I loved her (Rebecca), I hated her" [/spoiler]

Go to your room....what? In 1970, that wouldn't have played, no dice. And Q is a dullard, not realizing someone is setting his wife up.
