thanks.i plan to hit the strand tommorrow.

one more thing about this.during the director's commentary paul morrisey claims that candy favored joan bennett and kim novak above all others and tried to affect their mannerisms.

given that,and that julia99 knows candy was a great fan of grayson hall's,i know she must have been a big d.s. watcher as well.

i believe it's been discussed here before that d.s. went over big with the "factory" crowd.

last night i watched the andy warhol film "women in revolt" starring the holy trinity of his drag 'superstars' jackie curtis,holly woodlawn and candy darling.

the plot as usual with warhol films is ridiculous.it's 'about' these three 'ladies' and their forays into the early seventies "women's lib movement" and as usual for warhol films it was largely ad-libbed but for a few scetchy outlines provided for the actors.

it's a real scream.but anyways there is a scene where candy goes on an audition('she' wants to be movie star)and 'she' recites some dialogue from "scarlet street" starring joan bennett.then,in an even funnier ad-libbed moment,the person interviewing her asks her if she has an agent and candy keeps repeating that joan bennett is her agent!

the scene,and the movie,had me howling.watch it!

true that vicki was indeed kidnapee numero uno...

but we also have maggie locked-up by barnabas,carolyn by adam and so on.a locked up ingenue was a major,major theme on the show.

but,yes,vicki was the queen. 

does anyone know why miss scott is attending the show(she must be pitching something)?

is she offering anything new?

i'd like to attend but i aleady have most of her d.s related stuff.

thirteen episodes simply was not nearly enough to try and cover they amount of storyline they tried to cram in.

one can blame the "suits" at nbc ad nauseum but it since most of them were probably not familiar with the story dan curtis and company are in part to blame for even trying to get into the 1790 period during the time allotted.

they would have been better served by devoting the first season in it's entirety to establishing the present time situation and devoting much of season two to the 1790 segment.

speaking of that 1968 photo does anyone know why joan bennett,alexandra moltke,joel crothers,roger davis and david henesy were not included in it?

they were all prominently featured during that period.

so true mysterious...

i've always been appreciative of the show's costuming(tweed suits,ugly shoes and all).as i opened this post that maggie arrived in kid gloves was so creamy.

but i do think that as an afternoon drama,with advertisers of such housewife friendly products as toothpaste and laundry detergent,the producers made a decision to attire the girls like proper young ladies rather than 'hippies' or members of the counter culture percolating at the time.
