Personally, I thought it was better than I expected, but I watched it as a drama about how human connections can make or break someone. The way you feel about 'Up in the Air' is how I feel about 'Twentieth Century'. Speaking of that film, I talked about it in my post for this blogathon!

I was squirming in my seat in anger as I watched it knowing the filmmaker was trying to manipulate my feelings to sympathize with those scummy people. <br /><br />I'm not in the least surprised you aren't familiar with Doctors' Wives, it's a rare beast. But I it was a weird delight. <br /><br />Dyan Cannon gives a bubbly lively performance, so it was a shame that her role was so brief. <br /><br />Colicos played his entitled, devious character really well. I've seen him in hundreds of things but I think this might be one of the most prominent parts he had, usually he was a supporting or guest star on innumerable TV shows. <br /><br />Colicos is good but the acting honors were split between Rachel Roberts, Cara Williams and Diana Sands. At the time Diana Sands probably had the most controversial storyline about an interracial romance with her boss, she gets a good spotlight scene that she made sure to get the most out of. <br /><br />If you can find it (and as you see it won't be a snap) I think you'd really like it!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-24575377594361536172021-09-11T10:36:03.625-04:002021-09-11T10:36:03.625-04:00Hi Joel!

I don’t know the second movie but it sounds like. Hoot to watch. Am I bad for thinking that Dyan Cannon was blown away by Cary Grant? Ok that is bad. I really do like John Colicos.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-722221837774899042021-09-10T21:12:13.893-04:002021-09-10T21:12:13.893-04:00Thanks for doing it again!

Glad you like how it turned out.<br /><br />Like some others have commented, I'm a fan of Up in the Air, but I most certainly get your point.

Terrific pix!...Love how you dressed this up Dell! <br /><br />Terrific pix!! I'm sure it was hard to find snaps from the second flick. I was a bit fearful that all you'd be able to find was a shot of poor Janice Rule in that eye scorching black & yellow outfit but looks like thankfully you couldn't. She was too fine an actress to be immortalized for most people looking so awful! Particularly love the photos you chose to tag each review. :-)<br /><br />Reading about the ghastly Up in the Air made me bitter about it all over again but Doctors' Wives was a perfect anecdote. <br /><br />Thanks as always for letting me participate!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-44665182915915664922021-09-10T07:22:48.997-04:002021-09-10T07:22:48.997-04:00Joel nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I love Up In The...Joel nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I love Up In The Air! lol I haven't seen Doctor's Wives though.
