Another Jew on here commented that people were going onto Wikipedia and removing references to certain people's Jewishness, and I just saw for myself that this is true. As a Jew and a fan of old movies and history, I was looking up a list of Jewish actors on Wikipedia. I saw Tina Louise (you know, from Gilligan's Island) pop up. So I popped over to her actual page on Wikipedia. And there were zero references to her being Jewish. So I hopped on over to the Wayback Machine (bless you, Internet Archive) and put in the URL for her Wikipedia page. And wouldn't ya know it: before 10/7, there were at least 3 to 5 references to her Jewishness at any given time on her Wikipedia page. Wtf is happening.

Finished my first watch of Niagara.

I think, it’s my favorite Marilyn movie so far…

She really feels like a torturously disillusioned wife every time she graces the screen. I do mean graces. Every outfit is a winner, be it suit, negligee, THE magenta dress, or a bed sheet she looks angelic. While I enjoy Marilyn I consider myself a more critical fan. If I’m honest, not every movies of hers hits home with me, and I’m fine with that. But in Niagara she truly captures the face of an angel with cruel intentions. So much that I can ignore her beautifully made up face fresh out of the shower. It would only make sense in this exact moment in film.

I’d almost root for her escape if it wasn’t for murder being the end game. Her portrayal of a woman in fresh love is sweet, exciting, and makes her l comments of “kids” arriving to the camp feel so silly when she herself looks like a teenager in love. It also makes the rift in her marriage so stark. Whatever vitality their love had that brought them to marriage has aged, withered, become a sour memory. It’s really kind of awful to see a woman so bright darkened by the shroud of his depression.

And yet, in those fleeting moments where they are still husband and wife, both actors really dig up the proof of that spark. There really was something there, it wasn’t a hastened choice, or a figment of their imaginations. In their faces the glow and warmth of tiny embers, from a thought to be dying flame are evident. Their need to separate is necessary but a sad ending.

The turn from poor happenstance to thriller film is so steady and well dressed in its lighting decisions. I’m no noir expert but the contrast of darkness and light and choice of angles and shapes in shots made a noir for me. That and the concept of an affair, hard marriage, femme fatale, older men, booze, cigarettes, and murder plot…

Now, more importantly. Anyone know where I can get my hands on that dress in my size?
