| Oh, I thought 304 discussed the recent death of Joseph Cotton. Are
they the same guy?

| Cute, very cute. ;-)
Mr. Cotten (aka Cotton) certainly rates his own topic; shall we
remember his career, debate the spelling of his name, or speculate as
to where he came up with that voice?
I think the final sequence of "The Third Man" is my favorite Cotten
clip.

then how about being a good doobie (ie. moderator)
and using "mod note/note=...." to move the existing
(but limited :-) discussion to this topic .....

| Um, Jeff, the only Cotten reply in 304 besides the simple "announcement
of death" note is yours, so why don't _you_ be the doobie; I won't
mind, honest...

| Every time I think of Joseph Cotton I think of the old Alfred
Hitchcock program on TV (when there was only black and white).
Joseph Cotton was driving his convertible up some back roads
(I don't remember why), and had an accident. He was completely
paralyzed, and the ambulance people thought he was dead. He
could hear everything that went on around him and could see
straight ahead (no peripheral, cause he couldn't even move
his eyes).
To make a long story short, they took him to the morgue, and
just as they were ready to do an autopsy one of the medics
saw tears coming from his eyes.
It probably doesn't sound as dramatic as it was, but drawn out
over a half-hour program, it was quite emotional.
Anyone else remember this one?
Those of us who grew up with his movies will miss him.

| I remember the scene with the tear - although I did not see it when
it first came out but rather many years later.

| And he was great in "Gaslight" with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.

| 458.10 | PORTRAIT OF JENNIE | 30188::NIEMI | | Wed Jun 08 1994 10:18 | 8 |
| PORTRAIT OF JENNIE, 1948, 86 minutes, available on video, is rated 3
stars in Malten's video guide. It stars Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton,
and Ethel Barrymore. David O. Selznick makes a nice movie of a
"foolish story". It was originally released in black and white with
the last reeel tinted green. It received an Academy Award for special
effects. If you like art (struggling painter), mystery, saddness, and
romance, you'll probably like this. I found the music and cloud scenes
captivating. Paul
