She's nuts. I made the mistake of watching the movie "What's the Matter With Helen?" this afternoon with Debbie Reynolds and Shelly Winters. The basic plot is the mothers of two convicted murders move to California to start afresh. I like Debbie Reynolds a lot (especially in Singing in the Rain) but I do not like Shelly Winters at all. She was really annoying in this movie (I think she screamed for about 15 minutes total at various points in the movie). And she is super unlikable in "A Patch of Blue" and totally useless in "Night of the Hunter". So if anyone knows a movie that Shelly Winters is actually good in, please let me know. But I'm making up for watching that terrible movie by watching an excellent movie: Murder, My Sweet. The original title for the movie (and the book is it based on) was Farewell My Lovely but it was changed so moviegoers wouldn't think it was a musical. And I didn't understand that until I saw 42th Street and realized Dick Powell was in a ton of musicals before doing Murder, My Sweet (and the actress Anne Shirley is in this movie too!).
HANK: If you ask me, you've got too much imagination. Everything's all loop-de-loops and flibbertigibbets.
