Slightly Related - The Movie Rebecca
« on: November 25, 2023, 09:26:18 AM »
Since 1970 Parallel Time was based on Rebecca, I thought that was enough of a connection to mention this!

Last night and tonight was a 2-part Cannon, which I’ve seen many times now, but last night discovered a detail I had never noticed.  Joan Fontaine plays a famous actress.  At one point one of her old films is playing in the background and Cannon enters and they talk (or scream) over it.  One doesn’t see or hear much of it, but last night, just before Cannon started to talk, I heard the actress on the screen saying something about “you knew she wore that dress and let me wear it” or something like that.  I thought, Oh!  That sounds like Rebecca.  I didn't remember, but looked it up and Joan WAS the star of Rebecca.  So, here they were playing one of her real films as the fictional actress’ film!!
