Or is it !? (Remember how this movie made “As Time Goes By” by Jimmy Durante a full top 40 radio hit in 1993? LOL.)Ĭut to Baltimore, where Meg Ryan (female journalist) is engaged to Bill Pullman (allergic), because this is a thoroughbred-ass ‘90s cast. decides that what he really needs is to move to a new city because true love “just doesn’t happen twice.” That’s one of da fundymental tinks that you learn from this movie. Maybe he was going to say, “Here, my shrink, call him, he has the purest MDMA!” Give people a chance for once! (Except for the entire rest of this movie, when you definitely need to be giving people WAY LESS OF A CHANCE, as a rule. Hanks is so grouchy that when his coworker comes in and says, “Here, my shrink, call him…” Hanks cuts him right off! No thank you, Larry! Hanks has already been shrunked by all the shrinks in Chicago, so you can shut the hell up!ĭude, though, you gotta let people finish. (If I was friends with Victor Garber I wouldn’t even care if I died! Even if Victor Garber killed me!!) Not Victor Garber, not Rita Wilson, not being architect, not eat Chicago dog, somehow STILL NOT VICTOR GARBER (!?). Nothing can cheer Hanks up at this point. Tom Hanks’s wife has just died and he and his eight-year-old son Jonah are adjusting to a new life. Send your questions to Joan’s World, c/o the Times, P.O.We open at mommy’s funeral, like all the best comedies do. “Jumbo Elephant, Jumbo Elephant/You have such a big long nose/Jumbo Elephant, Jumbo Elephant/It reaches to your toes.” “Jumbo Elephant, Jumbo Elephant/You live in a great big zoo/Jumbo Elephant, Jumbo Elephant/It’s fun to look at you. Many thanks to those who sent me the lyrics to “Jumbo Elephant.” I enjoyed hearing your memories of the song. Otherwise, the recycle bin is a good place for them. The traditional places that used to take them no longer do, but if there’s an organization that wants them, let me know and I’ll spread the word. This question comes up every year, and I don’t have a good answer. I am a recycler, and I would appreciate a reply as soon as you find out. I heard that there may be some senior homes or organizations that can use them for decorations or to make gift tags out of them. Does this ring any bells?ĭo you know of any organization that will take used Christmas cards? 4, I turn to Joan’s World readers for help. It’s doubtful that’s the case, but you might have picked up on the “clues” others have seen in the film.Īs for No. 2, there long has been debate on whether Preminger intended to end “Laura” by having the whole second half as having been a dream. The victim, however, is a man, not a woman. Not to give too many plot details away, but it involves a murder, blackmail and a dream. 4 for a bit, I found a similar-based film called “The Woman in the Window” (1944). One, you’ve confused the details of the plot two, you are remembering the original “Laura” with an alternate ending three, it was an episode of a television program or four, the movie exists, but I just can’t find it. I couldn’t find the exact film you are thinking of, which brings up a few possibilities. Can you help me or is my memory of this movie “only a dream?” I saw this movie in the 1970s on television and as I recall, it was a black and white movie. It was also a “whodunit.” There were scenes of Laura on a crowded train and, in the end, it turned out that Laura really was “only a dream.” There was no murder because there was no Laura in reality. The movie I am thinking of followed the song very closely. It recently was on television, one of the movie channels, and seeing it reminded me of another movie that I thought was called “Laura,” but obviously I am wrong.

The movie “Laura” was made in 1944, directed by Otto Preminger and had an all-star cast.
