what a lovely face. eleanor parker has the sort of grace i associate with maureen o'hara. onscreen she seems like the dream partner and mother. however, she rocked herself right out of that stereotype when cast as 'zosch' (creepy name!) in 'the man with the golden arm.' as wife of protagonist 'frankie machine' she is wheelchair bound and seems to live only to be a constant reminder of the accident...

You don't know who she is, do you?" Then he leans in just about on top of me at the table and pulls my hair, convinced I'm wearing a wig. He pulled it again. Look, I'm extremely tolerant of tipsy gents who want a word,...
