Moreover I've seen photos of "Anyone Can Wistle"'s 1965 stage production and Angela resembles Mme. B in her night gown during the thunderstorm sequence. Speaking of Madame I'm curious about one thing: she shares a lot of things with Lady Tremaine. They're both french old women, they wear the very same color and has a similar hairdo, they're both iper realistic character, they both love cats. Is it risky to assume Mitl's trying to create a good version of Frank Thomas' wicked lady here? I always asked myself why "She Never Felt Alone" never reached the screen. It's such a charming, simple and elegant song. The perfect conterpart to "Everybody Wants to Be A Cat" and Eva Gabor gave a wonderful interpretation of the song.Andrea Giglio 82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863372756464138357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-87417904339588642732012-05-06T05:26:04.247-07:002012-05-06T05:26:04.247-07:00Ha ha -- the first thing I thought as I scrolled d...Ha ha -- the first thing I thought as I scrolled down to the reference photo was,"Rita Hayworth?!" No surprise, then, to learn that she stood in for Hayworth!<br /><br />These look wonderful. I'm torn over whether Madame should have been so realistic and attractive. I do like the departure from formula (rather than defaulting to a standard old biddy), and her good looks make it easier to believe/imagine her rich past as a society belle. On the other hand, she looks so good that it's hard to believe she won't outlive Duchess! <br /><br />Can't wait to see the post on Anita!Jesse Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253641550766389238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-78046044452268393912012-05-06T04:16:26.860-07:002012-05-06T04:16:26.860-07:00Incredible.

Maybe it was still too recent for him to reflect on it as you quote him here. Of course as you point out, he never let even his archest misgivings about an assignment stand in the way of performing it to perfection...<br /><br />It's a coincidence because she was too young at the time, but Ken's drawing of Mme.

I find myself staring at Milt's drawings, almost trying to see his thought process and methodology. <br /><br />In the coloured frame, I wonder if Duchess' tail was used, not only for humour, but for the colour value. The bold white seems to connect Georges' eyes and hair, all the way up to Madame's. Then her left arm draws the eye through to the hand and thumb back to Georges' eye. I may just be over analysing but it's hard not to with a master's work. <br /><br />Either way, thank you for continuously posting amazing content.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554209119125683997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-15887292190486841282012-05-05T16:59:13.444-07:002012-05-05T16:59:13.444-07:00What amazes me is that you call them "roughs&...What amazes me is that you call them "roughs".....they're anything but rough!
