Yes, I have to say I do love this movie.
OH MY GOD BOY GEORGE IS ON MY TELEVISION SCREEN SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME NOW

But anyway, yes. It was SUCH a refreshing role.
Totally unique among her filmographie.
Spoiler alert by the way, if any of you actually haven't seen this (which I assume not to be the case)

I didn't like the fella. What WAS his name?
Robert...Taylor!
Not Mitchum (anyone here seen Night Of The Hunter - Loved Mitchum in that) but Taylor. What a repulsive man. But then I guess that works. I just found him a bad egg.
He looked...wrong. Evil.
Sickening. But again, it worked wonders.
And the whole...horse pushingness of the cliff etc. OH that was the bit I screamed during. What a horror.
I thought she was going to go to be honest.

It was at that moment I realized that I have never seen a Kate film where she dies at the end.
Is there one?
If so, it's not one that I have seen.
And it was during that horse pushingness of the cliff thing that I realized that, and had the fleeting thought that this might be the film in which it happens, and then yay ho she lived.
But yes. It got me rather heated.
I don't know that I could have handled seeing her die that way.
Least of all at the perils of Robert...Taylor. Not Mitchum.

When I read that back I thought for a second that I had written "least of all at the penis of", and it took on a rather different tone.
At this, I screamed. I seem to be screaming a lot lately.
Starting with the GIANT spider that was on my looking glass the other day. Jeez.

Why sure...here are some...

Keeper of the Flame....Shot dead in Spencer Tracy's arms....Oh, the injustice of it all.

Christopher Strong...Smashed to bits as she crashes her plane...

Mary of Scotland, my man....Separated from her head...

Christopher Columbus, what richness!

Awww, I ilke Bob Taylor. In fact, I HAVE A HUGE, ENORMOUS CRUSH ON BOB TAYLOR. Just don't tell Stany, capeesh?

But anyways. Death by cliff/foam rock I could not have handled. [But her little squeals were adorable. All that screaming in the john didn't really help, though. It was more "Aeiiii!" than "AHHHHOMGAHMANDON'TPUSHMEOFFATHISCLIFFF!"]

I actually called my Nonnie at the end of my first viewing of KOTF and sobbing I screamed "Kate's Dead!" My Nonnie was freaking out until I told her, "No no no, not KATE, but in KOTF." She was so mad haha.

Kate's just not allowed to die to me.

I'm Amber. I say things.

pps, I think we're the most awesome group of people on the web.

But of course.

Shane, the almost-death on the cliff had the same effect on me. I was truly afraid for her character and was ready to reach through the screen and pitch Taylor off that cliff if the bastard killed our Katie.

I have done some detective work. This is the cover of TIME magazine that the other woman is looking at:

It's from February 25, 1946

www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19460225,00.html

That link has the table of contents. As for the issue of The New Yorker Kate is reading...I couldn't find that. Their site doesn't have a cover archive.

I'll just call you Sam Spade from now on...Brilliant detective work...I'd guess that The New Yorker would be the same week? Maybe?

The New Yorker is a weekly magazine, right? Applications are now being accepted for secretary/girl friday position. ;D

Voila! It's dandy Eustace Tilley, who reappears on the cover every anniversary issue--- like the one she's reading. Except intstead of 2004, it would be Feb. 16th 1946.
