    • Quotes

      Gemma Smith: Loving you is the most awful thing that has ever happened to me.

      Sebastian Dubrok: Is it?

      Gemma Smith: Yes, it is.

      Sebastian Dubrok: Perhaps you're right. Maybe you do deserve a better man.

      Gemma Smith: But I don't want a better man, Sebastian. I just want you.

    Bore Me Forever

    The best thing I can say about this movie is that Errol Flynn seemed to be enjoying himself. He is relaxed and natural. Same with Ida Lupino, actually. None of her usual brittle intensity.

    But my gawd the story. Is it a love quadrangle? Is he a composer or a busker? Is Lupino supposed to be a woman or a teenager. Is there a world where Gig Young is a serious rival of Flynn's when it comes to women? Is Eleanor Parker's character actually alive or just a mannequin?

    And the lighting and makeup is ghastly. In some scenes Lupino looks like she's wearing circus makeup. In some scenes Flynn looks, I can't believe I'm about to type this, unattractive. It takes a special kind of ''talent" to pull that off.

    The whole thing is so inert, so lifeless. Seeing Flynn in those lederhosen or britches or whatever. Kinda humiliated for him.
