For God's sake! Go with venetian blinds!!!



I am spending my morning, (recovering from lat night''s pre-birthday celebration) at home going thorugh my TIVO log, I'd forgotten I had even recoreded the The Cobweb (1955)

Ye gods what a mess of a movie, despite the impressive cast:

At an exclusive psychiatric clinic, the doctors and staff are about as crazy as the patients. The clinic head, Dr. Stewart McIver, thinks that it would be good therapy for his patients to design and make new drapes for the library. Mrs. Karen McIver, who is neglected by her hardworking husband (and a bit unbalanced herself), wants to make her mark on the clinic, so she orders new drapes. Miss Inch, the business manager, who has been with the clinic longer than anyone, sees this as an intrusion into her territory, and she too orders drapes. All this puts everyone in a dither, as they fight over drapes and clinic politics. Written by John Oswalt {jao@jao.com}

I think the bigger question is, do Gloria Grahame, Lauren Bacall, Lillian Gish and Adele Jergens have carpets to match their drapes?

Drape politics in a nut house? Wouldn't you love to have heard when the writer was pitching THAT to the producer.

Madness and soft furnishings? Oh, been there.
