Barbara Stanwyck (RK the swimming pool) and Tony Curtis (into the one resound)

Programming Note: We were trying to catch up with Mad Men @ The Movies before Season 4 of MM started (tomorrow!). We'll have to leapfrog Season 3 (sorry Ann-Margret and Bye Bye Birdie!) so that we can have contemporary weekly discussions for Season 4 each Monday after the episode, provided that there's a movie reference to sound off on. Will you be joining in?Episode 2.10 "The Inheritance"Pete Campbell is taking a business trip to Los Angeles and his wife Trudy (Alison Brie) wants to go with him.Trudy: You know I'll stay out of your way.Pete: Of course. Lounging by the pool. They'll think you're a young Barbara Stanwyck.Trudy: Doesn't that sound like fun?Young Stanwyck always sounds like fun! Poolside or anywhere really. Don't you a! gree?Stanwyck in 1944. She was 37 here but doesn't she look fresh as a daisy? poll by twiigs.com Episode 2.11 "The Jet Set"Don and Pete make it to sunny Los Angeles where Pete gets quite excited by the sun and stars.Pete: I just saw Tony Curtis in the men's room!Don: Handing out towels?Pete: Tony Curtis, Don! ...a thing like that.And if you think I'ma 'bout to post a photo of Tony Curtis in the men's room for Stanwyck poolside parallel's sake. Well... I like you're way of thinking, but who could find one?!The closest I got was Tony Curtis in the steam room. With Rock Hudson in the back getting a rubdown.The things you find on the internets. If only those things were in hi-res.Other references in these episodes: (Cinema) Rope| (TV) The Twilight Zone, The New Loretta Young Show | (Literature) Ray Bradbury, William Faulkner | (Sports) The Yankees | (Celebrities) Bob Dylan, Rita Hayworth
Great classic films, best all time movies
