DVD Talk review of 'Pillow Talk - 50th Anniversary Edition'
I read Paul Mavis's DVD review of Pillow Talk - 50th Anniversary Edition at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=36906 and...Could not agree more regarding commentary tracks. My Man Godfrey, Boomerang, and others were just ruined for me once I foolishly listened. Too bad, these things could be, and sometimes are, illuminating and fun. The best, most informed work, seems to come from Rudy Behlmer.

I enjoyed Paul Mavis' 50th anniversary Pillow Talk review and will buy this edition, despite the fact that he didn't mention my favorite character actress Thelma Ritter who got a supporting Oscar nod for her hilarious performance in this comedy.

You know, I should have discussed her performance -- you're right. But I guess I just figured that most movie fans already know that she never gave a bad performance in her life (I actually think she tops Pillow Talk with a similar turn in Boeing-Boeing, where she gets a lot more screen time). But don't listen to that commentary track; the "historians" on it say her alcoholic character would be "tragic" in real life -- what "real life" has to do with movies, I'll never know.
