Film of the Day: Classic


The Opposite Sex (1956)

June Allyson, Joan Collins, Leslie Nielsen, Dolores Gray, Agnes Moorehead. Although not considered particularly great at the time, I think it's started to gain more credibility, perhaps mainly due to nostalgia.

Not as good, however, as the original film adaptation, The Women (1939), with Joan Crawford, which featured an all-female cast, so much so that even all but a few props were also female, including animals.

Actress of the Day: ICON

June Allyson
American
October 7, 1917 - July 8th, 2006

A phenomenal actress, she will always be my 'Jo' from Little Women.
