Davis's control in The Letter is only in part a matter of repression. She plays Leslie Crosbie as a bored, stifled housewife forced to expend her libido in the creation of a crocheted white coverlet. Still, her Leslie is also a sociopath, a calculating killer and remorseless liar, ceaselessly putting on acts for those around her because authentic emotions — other than murderous rage, that is — are not part of her psychological makeup. Even as Leslie fires the gun repeatedly at Hammond's dead body in the opening moments of the film, her face is stonelike, her feelings impossible to penetrate, and it's this ambiguity that makes it possible for audiences to question Leslie's motives from the beginning, even while we give her some benefit of the doubt. (Ed Sikov, Dark Victory: The Life of Bette Davis)

The Letter (1895-1900) - Thomas Wilmer Dewing

Just thinking about the fact that when Newt said “It’s different with me though, you now it is.” It was his ways of confessing, because he knew he was dying, and that was most likely the closest he would get to admitting his feelings.

If something does happen to Lenore I can only imagine Annabel’s reaction and the letter oh god

Imagine if Lenore doesn’t die but like gets separated from the rest bc of the monsters and even if they don’t know if she’s dead or not decide to read the letter and they go to Annabel and explain to her what happened, she will have a full on panic attack I don’t think she will even care that there’s other ppl there

the letter -> that what we were to each other was never real and that we got in the way of each other being who and what we needed to be and if there was a man in my life you hope he was the kind, faithful, and devoted man that i deserved but in a parallel universe it will always be you and i, babey!

This lace shawl, which appeared in the 1940 film The Letter, is far more than just a beautiful piece of clothing. Its appearance serves to symbolize Davis’ character, Leslie Crosbie’s habit of weaving a web of lies while feigning innocence. The piece was reused in the 1946 film The Beast with Five Fingers, where Andrea King wore it as Julie Holden.

da una settimana sono in fissa con questo pezzo, lo conoscete tutti, sa di film sul vietnam; ne hanno fatto un sacco di cover da joe cocker ai corvi, ma la migliore rimane questa la voce all'inizio mi tira proprio scema non avevo idea di chi fosse il gruppo, lo cerco e trovo questa faccia da strafatto ogni volta che trovo pupille così penso "chissà se questo è ancora vivo" no, Alex Chilton è morto nel 2010 e wikipedia scrive poche righe estremamente attuali sulla sua morte:

"morì il 17 marzo 2010 per un attacco cardiaco mentre era in tour con i Big Star; Chilton aveva già accusato dolori e problemi di salute nelle settimane precedenti, ma non aveva potuto farsi ricoverare in quanto nelle sue condizioni economiche non poteva permettersi un'assicurazione sanitaria in linea con il Sistema sanitario degli Stati Uniti d'America."
