Three non-traditional Christmas movies for your holiday enjoyment! 

"Perfume" (1991) One wild soap opera; sex, women in biz , infidelity, mental illness, addiction just to get started! But the early 90's fashion is gorgeous and over the top! They all look like black Barbie dolls! 

"Daphne Laureola" (1978) Sir Lawrence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowright star.  Joan plays Lady Pitts to Olivier (real life hubby) Baronette Pitts and she is odd to say the least as she flirts with a way younger man she doesn't remember flirting with originally.

[00:01:41] Speaker A: Don't have to live in. [00:07:21] Speaker B: Million people think they're going to be big rock stars. [00:07:24] Speaker A: Well, she wants to try. Tommy, I have something to tell you. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Yeah? [00:07:33] Speaker A: I'm feeling know you've been wonderful. I don't know what I'd have done without you these last months. But we're fighting a losing battle. It's Armsby. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Leave Armsby. Mom. All my friends. [00:07:48] Speaker A: But you can still see them. And you'll make new friends. [00:07:52] Speaker B: No. If we can't afford it, I'll get a job, pay my own way. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Darling, I love you, but that won't work. Your grades will suffer. And then goodbye to getting into a decent university. [00:08:03] Speaker B: Dad was dumb. [00:08:05] Speaker A: What? [00:08:06] Speaker B: Well, the mess he left. [00:08:09] Speaker A: Well, he died far before his time. Without warning. He didn't have a chance to get things in order. And he would have. [00:08:18] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe everyone liked him because he was never gloomy, you know, so full of life, like he'd lived forever. [00:08:26] Speaker A: That was your father. [00:08:27] Speaker B: I don't think he'd ever have made plans. [00:08:32] Speaker A: I have a confession to make. What? I. I should have been doing this long ago. Too dependent on my own now. [00:09:16] Speaker C: Betty White, Timothy Hutton, Stephanie Zimbalis and Gregory Harrison, to name a few. Sir Lawrence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowwright star. No really big known household names, period. But the first black barker, beauty from the Price is right and the first Friday movie fame. Miss Parker is in this period. Her name is Kathleen Italy. Greetings, everyone. This is Moya with how Betty Davis saved my life. With a new segment for how Betty Davis saved my life. Life lessons from classic Hollywood called late to the party. As you can hear, the party's already started. And what I mean by late party is recent movies that Georgia and or I have recently seen, and you've probably already seen, but we want to talk about. So sit back, relax and enjoy this brand new segment of how Betty Davis saved my life. Life lessons from classic Hollywood called late to the party. Hello, everyone. That's right, it's time for LTP's Christmas. Late to the Christmas party. Yes, it's me, Moya, flying solo. And which is okay. My girl Georgia, she took the month off, y'all. We saw Georgia maybe once, but it's know that's my girl. I love her and I can't wait for her to be back. Because when she is back, we're going to start the new year off with Betty. Betty Davis, a stolen life. One of the first times she plays twins. So be here for that. That's going to be January the 6th, 01:00 p.m. Central standard Time. And our old friend Norman Bellinger is going to join us as well. So I think I have that right. I always have to double check the calendar, but I do believe that's what we have going up. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:08] Speaker C: So live here, Betty Davis, starting the new year off right with a stolen life. But today, as you see in the title, I have some gifts for you for Merry Christmas, everybody. For the happy, happy holidays. Yes, I have some gifts for you. So I have some perfume, flowers and a home. And what do I mean by know late to the party? We have a little different vibe here and kind of do little things like get into some movies. Of course, like I said, george and I, we can do them, but these are just some movies I've never seen. Like I said in the introduction that I just find a little interesting. But all our movies that we choose are interesting. But these are some of the unsung movies, if you will, that are not that popular. And then you find these gems on YouTube and I just want you to see them because, man, it was something else. So the first one is literally a movie called Perfume. I've seen this a while ago and I've been wanting to get to it, but I just never had a chance to do it. And so now that I have the chance to do it, you think I ain't going to do it? I want you to see this movie. So let me just set it up. So as you see it, it is from 1991 and it stars Kathleen Bradley. Now that name may or may not be familiar to you, but she is the first black showcase model of the prices, right. And you'll see her. This is her getting out of the car. She is absolutely gorgeous. She is statuesque. I mean, I can see why they picked her to be a barker beauty, if you will, Ted Lange from those of us who are seventy s and eighty s, kids and adults at that time, but we know our seventy s, eighty s tv. That is the bartender from loveboat. All right, Isaac and Felton Perry. Yeah, I do know he is. So he, again, these are not terribly big household names, if at all, but Felton Perry, he was in a lot of movies, like in the late 70s, early eighty s, and of course in the 90s, but especially on tv, he was in a lot of things. But anyway, shout out to real black one. I saw this movie on their channel and I just want to give you a little gist of it, a little taste of it, and the gist of it in this introductory can't talk scene with Miss Kathleen Bradley herself coming out of the babble car. Is that a rolls child? The fashions are over the top. These women are black Barbie dolls. I remember my mother and some of her friends and my cousins and whatever were dressing like these women. This is when we still looked realistic, you know what I mean? Because now we've looked like a bunch of cartoon characters. But I digress. And this may be those women have a weaves and wigs. These still look like human beings anyway. Nevertheless, let's roll it to get a whiff of perfume. Okay, I forgot. Check out the music. It's wild. It's so. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Don't have to. It was a Monday and Natasha had invited us to lunch. As usual, Vashti was late. She was always late. Aren't you ladies? It so the groovy girls are together again. Kevin, help the world. [00:18:35] Speaker C: She is gorgeous. Just beautiful. She's still around. I believe she's on checked. I think she's active on social media and such. But her claim to fame and in the film world, if you will, movie World is Miss Parker with the late, great Bernie Mac and the first Friday starring Chris Tucker and Ice Cube. So if you haven't seen it, go see it. Maybe we should do Friday here on how Betty Davis saved my life. We don't discriminate, y'all. [00:19:05] Speaker A: We used to say it in high school. Shelby, remember? It's been a while. [00:19:10] Speaker C: She's pretty too. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Groovy girls. Groovy girls. [00:19:14] Speaker D: Hi, Mark Barton. [00:19:15] Speaker C: It's Sandy hook promise here, and we're going to skip that because we don't want none of that it. Let's go. [00:19:35] Speaker A: Catch us if you can. We don't kiss and we don't tell. [00:19:44] Speaker C: And look at the prints and the jewelry. The hats. Hats had come back. These was church lady hats. Kathleen has that queen latifah hat. Before queen latifah blew up and became the queen latifah everyone knows, but yeah, she used to wear these hats and stuff. I used to call them satellite dishes. And Phyllis Hyman, a late great r b. Also, Phyllis Hyman could have played this role. Gorgeous r b and jazz singer, very tall statue where she also was a model. So yeah, she would wear these as well. But look at it, they're just gorgeous. And every shade of the rainbow. Love it. Of the black rainbow, if you will. [00:20:29] Speaker A: But do we give it up? Oh, no. Do we give it up? Oh, no. [00:20:36] Speaker C: I can't believe that we were that silly and immature in high school. [00:20:40] Speaker A: I can't believe we're still that silly grown women acting like children. I know. We're sort of like Peter Pan and tinkerbell, don't you think? Peter pan? Linda, you say the strangest things sometimes. Because I'm neurotic. My psychiatrist isn't a very depressive psychiatrist, darling. You see a shrink? Yeah. I'll tell you about it one day. You don't look crazy to me. [00:21:04] Speaker C: That is so realistic. Because in black, we're like, oh, she crazy. Especially back then. Now everything is mental health. Mental health. Nobody even cares anymore. Well, no, it depends on your audience because some people might still shade you, but I love that. That is so realistic. [00:21:26] Speaker A: Who decided we'd still be friends after all this time? To a lifetime of friendship. May there be no secret between us. Friendship with no secret. [00:21:51] Speaker C: Someone has secrets. Wow. [00:21:56] Speaker A: Well, then, ladies, what's this meeting all about? Natasha has an absolutely fabulous idea that what I have in mind, we can't lose. [00:22:06] Speaker C: Now, you will have to go to real black one and finish looking at this movie. Because, guys, you see, it's a little under 2 hours, but it is a soap opera. It's full of sex, of course. You see, they're going to talk about a business plan, infidelity, mental illness, addiction, just to get started. So stuff. They were ahead of their time. This movie, Mr. Roland S. Jefferson. And it takes place, I think, in there, in California, where the story takes place. But yes, please go and watch this. You will not be disappointed. So if you're super bored at Christmas or you want to get away from the family, they're doing too much, go and escape with this movie. It is so good, the acting. Don't expect any Oscar, don't even expect any Golden Globe performances, but there will not be any razzie performances. Okay, go and check it out. Just for the fashion alone. I love it. And they are gorgeous. Okay, so now you got your perfume and you're smelling all good. Let's go on to our next stars. So now we're going to do our flowers. It stars none other than Sir Lawrence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowwright. Yes, the real life acting powerhouse couple. Of course, they're no longer with us. And it's called Daphne Loriola, which is a flower, apparently. And so Joan Plowwright plays Lady Pitts to Olivier's Baron Pitts or Baronette Pitts. And she is OD, to say the least. So just like in real life, there's this huge age gap in between them. And this plays a part in this movie. But it is not just the whole gist of it. But anyway, so when I say she's OD, it opens up. She's in a restaurant surrounded by an eclectic cast of people, and she's talking and singing. And I did not know plowwright had a gorgeous, almost operatic type of voice, if that was in fact her singing, but beautiful voice. And so she meets all these people, then she meets this young man, and they converse a lot, and they hit, and I say younger than her because she may be in her, let's see, be in her late 30s. Let's say she's in her early 40s. Olivier's pits has got to be in his sixty s or seventy s. They might have made him look a little older, but in this guy, he's got to be in his twenty s. So we're going to start off right there. We're going to start off with a scene that kind of sets up the whole what happened at the restaurant and foreshadowing what's to happen perhaps later on. But like I said, she's kind of odd. So I was like, oh, okay, where is this going? But let's take a look at it and you tell me what you think, because I think this movie, where's the play? Was fan freaking tastic. So let's unmute. [00:25:24] Speaker A: I have not been very well. [00:25:26] Speaker C: Okay, so the guy. Let me just set this up. The guy shows up at their estate, her and her husband's estate. They're in the garden, obviously, and they're trying to pick up where they left off, if you will. [00:25:43] Speaker D: I'm sorry. [00:25:46] Speaker A: I ought to remember. Do tell me more. [00:25:50] Speaker D: It was at a restaurant. It wasn't a party. [00:25:53] Speaker A: I must have drunk an awful lot. Did I? [00:25:56] Speaker D: I think you did. [00:25:58] Speaker A: It was foolish of me. I don't remember writing to you even. What did I say? [00:26:04] Speaker D: You said, dear Mr. Piest, it is very seldom in this year of grace that one meets anyone that one wants to meet again. But I want to meet you. Will you take tea with me on Sunday afternoon at this address? In case you do not remember me, I had dinner next to you yesterday evening. Yours very sincerely, Catherine Pitts. You are perhaps Catherine Pitts? [00:26:23] Speaker A: No doubt about it. [00:26:24] Speaker D: I thought you must be. [00:26:26] Speaker A: So you came. It was very good of you. [00:26:30] Speaker D: I came because it was necessary to come. [00:26:34] Speaker C: Okay, so they established that. And then, let's see. Should I let it play? Yeah, let's let it play. [00:26:45] Speaker A: Necessary. Ernest. [00:26:47] Speaker D: Yes? I've seen you once and always changed. You were la gloriosa, donna della mia mente. Dante said that about Beatrice. It means the glorious lady of my mind. You are the glorious lady of my mind. Of my mind. Mrs. Pitts. [00:27:08] Speaker A: Well, it's Lady Pitts, as a matter of fact. [00:27:11] Speaker D: You are then noble. [00:27:13] Speaker A: My husband is a baronet. That is a sort of little baron. [00:27:16] Speaker D: It would not have mattered to me if you had been a princess. That you are a little lower in rank does not matter to me either. We don't ask for the pedigree of the planets. [00:27:25] Speaker A: I am beginning to enjoy our little Vincent. They're very tiresome of you. What is it now? [00:27:38] Speaker D: There is a Miss MacArthur to see you. [00:27:41] Speaker C: Okay, so Vincent is the butler and he's going to play. There's a plot twist in this play. You're going to notice a theme with these movies. I have one more movie for you. But of course, plow Wright, Olivier, really? Everybody, but especially plow Wright. And Olivier put on an acting clinic. Olivier, he's only in a few scenes, but he steals it. He gives the heart of the movie, the movie of the play. So I don't want to give away too much. But there's no boring scenes. And it is a live action play, so it seems like, oh, this is going to be boring. No, it's well paced, superbly acted by everyone. But you got to look at it to see what happens between Lady Pitts and this young man, this bohemian. You see, he's well read, he's into philosophy and poetry, and he knows all those, darling, those words and knows what to say and what to do. So let me see. This is on Matt J's. J-A-Y-E-S. On that person's channel. So, yes, check it out. Daphne. L-A-U-R-E-O-L-A. Daphne Loriola. Check that out again. If you are bored out of your mind for the holidays or you just can't take it anymore, that's what you need to go check it out. So we got perfume, there's your flowers. And the last thing I have for you is a home. Yes, I do have a home for you. So what do I mean by that? Well, ask you that right on cue. If you didn't hear that. Great. The best place to be, starring Donna Reed, 1979. Saw this on. I actually saw it on Chris Johnson's channel, but when I try to pull it up on my laptop, I cannot find it. But yes, it's a wonderful movie starring Donna Reed, Betty White, Stephanie Zimbalis, Timothy Hutton. And you will not be disappointed because we said a theme going here. But let me tell you what the theme is. And I didn't do this on purpose. It's just like, okay, what would be some really good movies to escape for the holidays? And it was just that theme. It was that theme of young man, older woman. Shout out to Millie Jackson for her play young man, older woman. And that's not online. And so those of you don't know what I'm talking about. Miller Jackson is a famous soul r b singer. But anyway, she had this play called young man, older woman. It is ridiculous. I don't know if it's on YouTube. I tried to look, know I always get sidetracked, but it's ridiculous. It's so over the top. But yes, there is a theme here. Young man, older woman. I didn't do it on purpose, but here we are. So dinery, let me set this up again. This is 1979, and I did mention, yes, Betty White is in this. I want to get to her because she was killer in this, I guess. Yeah, Mary talamore show was off by then, and she's still kind of playing that little tart that she played. What was her name in that? Suzanne. That's probably not right. But anyway, the little tart that she played in the maritala Moore show. That was hilarious. But anyway, Diana Reed's husband of so many years dies unexpectedly, literally drops dead of a heart attack. So she has three kids. She has an older son who's married, and the middle child is a daughter who's a young hippie, bippy bohemian, want to be rock star. She's got a druggie boyfriend. And you got a druggie boyfriend. You do druggy things. And her young son, who is in high school, I believe, ready to go to college. I think so. Anyway, Timothy Hutton plays the young son, and Stephanie Zimbalis plays the daughter. All right. And Betty White plays the best friend. You'll see her in a second. But right now. So dad is dropped dead. He's dead. Donna Reed, Sheila, her character, finds know he did not leave them in the best financial situation. So this scene is where she's trying to break it to her son, like, hey, I can't afford your school anymore. You're going to have to go to public school. You can no longer go to private. All right, let's get into it. [00:32:44] Speaker B: Is Marianne really their singer? [00:32:46] Speaker A: What? Oh, yes, I guess so. At least she said so when she phoned last week. [00:32:51] Speaker B: A million people think they're going to be big rock stars. [00:32:54] Speaker A: Well, she wants to try. Tommy, I have something to tell you. Yeah, I'm feeling know you've been wonderful. I don't know what I'd have done without you these last months, but we're fighting a losing battle. It's Armsby. [00:33:15] Speaker B: Leave Armsby. Mom, all my friends. [00:33:18] Speaker A: Well, you can still see them. And you'll make new friends. [00:33:22] Speaker B: No. If we can't afford it, I'll get a job, pay my own way. [00:33:26] Speaker A: Darling, I love you, but that won't work. Your grades will suffer. And then goodbye to getting into a decent university. [00:33:34] Speaker B: Dad was dumb. [00:33:35] Speaker A: What? [00:33:37] Speaker B: Well, the mess he left. [00:33:40] Speaker A: Well, he died far before his time, without warning. He didn't have a chance to get things in order. And he would have. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe everyone liked him because he was never gloomy, you know, so full of life, like he'd lived forever. [00:33:56] Speaker A: That was your father. [00:33:57] Speaker B: I don't think he'd ever have made plans. [00:34:02] Speaker A: I have a confession to make. You know, just after the police told me, and before you came home that day, I cursed your pop. Awful as that sounds, I was furious with him for dying. Can you understand? [00:34:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I can. Because that night in my room, when I finally knew it was real, I hated him for leaving us alone. I feel so guilty. [00:34:30] Speaker A: There. Now we've both confessed, so we don't have to feel guilty anymore. [00:34:37] Speaker B: But hating somebody for dying, is that normal? [00:34:43] Speaker A: Yes, Tommy, yes. [00:34:54] Speaker C: And so this movie is so good because it runs the gamut of emotions, of when people pass away, especially unexpectedly. And then when a husband who passes away, who was the primary breadwinner, if not the breadwinner, and let me just say this, the husband. Well, we'll get into it. Let me go to the next scene. So this is 1979. So you've already had the feminist movement, and now you're seeing the result of that, of women in the workplace and women with sexual freedom and making their own money and decisions for themselves. And marriage, the traditional sense of marriage is kind of being tested, for lack of better term. I don't want to prejudice you too much, but, yeah. So you got to kind of see what's going on between the lines. All right, so let's start it. The scene between she and Betty White, which Betty is fantastic in this. We love Betty and Betty. When I see these Movies, Betty has been around since, what, the 50s? She had on little show like the mid to late fifty s. And even up until her death a few years ago. Betty White, of course she aged. But she aged so gracefully and beautifully. And, honey, she had the body. All right, so let's go. Let's take a look at this next scene, which will further along the storyline. And you let me know what you think about it. All right? Let's go. [00:36:46] Speaker A: I still think this should be champagne. Oh, ten in the morning. Who cares? Sheila Callahan has returned to the world. [00:36:54] Speaker B: Never mind. [00:36:55] Speaker A: We've talked on the phone, seen each other a few times. Don't deny it. Something's changed. Yes, I'm back in this world because I have to be. Sally. I'm scared to death. Marianne. Tommy, no. I've cut expenses to the bone and it's all draining away. I mean, if I go on like this, I'm going to have to sell my house, my future, an apartment. It'll be my mother all over again. So I've decided to fight it. I'm going to work. Did you say work? Yes. A four letter word. That isn't dirty. It is to me. Doing what? That's what scares me. The only time I've worked was the summer after high school. [00:37:45] Speaker C: And it'll get more into this. But this happens all the time. Maybe not so much now, because women are just doing the most and make their own money and businesses and the pandemic. But back then, yeah, this was still a thing in the library. [00:38:07] Speaker A: That was before Sean rode to my rescue the gallant knight who made you a housewife for more than 25 years. Well, who's counting? Afraid I am. Sally. I can't do anything else. Easy now. You're scaring me. School? No, you need payday. I hear there's great money in being a hooker. Some friend. [00:38:41] Speaker C: Oh, shoot. I didn't mean to do that. That was funny. Oh, my gosh, that was so funny. [00:38:53] Speaker A: I've got it. Sheila, you're a wonderful cook. A cooking class for housewives. No, I've already thought of that. My kitchen full of housewives. [00:39:05] Speaker C: But when she said being a hooker. Now look, it is 2023. You know, they got the fan site. Women had fought and burned their brides and Pubic in public places. Like Grady said on Sanford and son. Look like that should not be an option anymore, right? The fans page and all, busting it wide open. I mean, come on, girls. Back then, this poor woman, when she was too old to be a hooker. But I mean, back then, we already laid it out. Times were different, and you had. Women had different roles and goals. Why are y'all doing this now? But I digress. [00:39:49] Speaker A: Bored with tennis elbows? No. I'm beginning to think we should look in the unwanted ads. That son of a. Sally. Oh, the hell with that. Sean left you with an empty sack. And, honey, I mean that both ways. I didn't come here for that. Sorry. But, baby, it's cold outside the real world, and you need real talk. Such as, Betty, a straight gangster. [00:40:22] Speaker C: This is real talk. Yes, indeed. She beat R. Kelly. R. Kelly saw this movie. She said, you need real talk. Yo talk. That talk. [00:40:31] Speaker A: Betty, he was sleeping around. You knew. Maybe not the names, but you knew. [00:40:41] Speaker C: Okay, so I did not want to divulge that. I wanted Betty White to divulge that. Yeah, so hubby was stank. Let's move. Let's keep it moving. [00:40:51] Speaker A: What does this have to do with my finding a job? Realities again? Ever let him know you were in on his tomcatting? Tell him to knock it off or you'd file for divorce. Custody of Tommy. Nail him for every cent he had. Sally, you know that. I know you're Catholic, so no divorce. But what about telling him to pack up and get out, come back when he's ready to shape up? You never did that, did you? You're supposed to be my best friend. I don't know why you're doing this to me now. [00:41:26] Speaker C: Do you think Betty White is being fair? Let me know in the comments. Should she be having this conversation with Sheila right now? Because she's still in mourning and she has a lot on her plate. Or do you think. Yeah, she needs, like she said, a reality. The real talk, the wake up call. So let me know what you think. Is she being a friend. [00:41:48] Speaker A: Of the century mind that accepts every rotten double standard that men have been getting away with? Now you're lecturing, and besides, it's much easier to. [00:41:58] Speaker C: I'm sorry to keep interrupting, but, you know, there's still this same discussion in today's social media headlines, if you will. Trad wives or traditional wives versus the strong, independent woman. Which role is the best place to be for women? Or can they, like Helen girly Brown said back in the day, and she kind of not. No kind of. She recanted, saying, can you have it all? Can you have both and balance it? So it's crazy that women are still having these conversations. And Sheila probably would not have had this conversation, obviously, had her husband not dropped dead, but would he have left her and left her an alert for some young, hot thing? Who knows? [00:42:44] Speaker A: It'd be tough if there are no children involved. We did all we could not to have kids. Sheila, you can't excuse him or yourself on the old for the sake of the children routine. Well, what good is this post mortem doing? I really would like. You are still beautiful, a knockout, and whether you like it or not, I am your best friend and don't want to see you hurt by another macho double crosser. I'm not thinking about another man. [00:43:15] Speaker C: Now, Sheila, that's Donna Reed. She's middle aged. Should Betty White. Is she gassing her up when we say gas? Gaslighting her? Or she's trying to boost her ego by saying, hey, you still got it. Or is she being serious? Hey, get back out there. You don't have any, really skills for working, but you were a great wife, so maybe you should look to be taken care of. Is anything wrong with that? Again, let me know in the comments. [00:43:52] Speaker A: I am. And there will be another man, I guarantee. Oh, I doubt that very much. Well, Sean didn't flaunt his unfaithfulness. And when I did find out, I thought about a showdown. Oh, the night I lay awake thinking if I could. I didn't have any respect for him. But I still loved him. I married him when I was 17. I never knew another man. And I was terrified of being alone. Alone. Yeah, that's what it comes down to. The disease of women since time began. And Sean was another handsome dude with two sets of rules. [00:45:00] Speaker C: Y'all hear Betty White talking that jive? She should have played the lady on airplane. Took June Cleaver's role. She was talking that jive. Yo, some dude girl. Get it? [00:45:16] Speaker A: So we better start looking in the unwanted ad. [00:45:25] Speaker C: Okay, so now keep all that. Unpack all that. Now, let's fast forward to this next part, and then we're going to tie your beautiful gifts all up with the bow and send you home to enjoy your holiday. Your holiday gifts from how Betty Davis saved my life. And I'm having a blast with you guys. All right, so let me set this up. This is Betty White's older son is a doctor. The guy she's having dinner with right now is his friend, his colleague. He went to see her, visit the son for the funeral, and so that's when he first saw her at the funeral, and he asked her out to lunch. And so here we go with this. [00:46:22] Speaker D: It's taking you an hour to mention it, but as you said years ago, so let it be. It's a time when examining the past is an excuse for avoiding the present. [00:46:34] Speaker A: Are your opinions always so positive? [00:46:36] Speaker D: I try to make them sound that. [00:46:38] Speaker A: Way. [00:46:41] Speaker D: But even when I have insured, I've gotten caught up in wars. Yes, her. [00:46:50] Speaker A: I'm sorry. [00:46:52] Speaker C: Now, when he says her, he's currently separated from his wife and child. They may be leaning towards divorce. [00:47:00] Speaker D: Sheila, I'll make a pact with you. We'll never say that to each other again. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Gary, we're just having brunch. [00:47:10] Speaker D: No, we're not. And we both know it. When you answered that door, I couldn't believe it. [00:47:18] Speaker A: You're a friend of my son. [00:47:21] Speaker D: Is that how you see me? Because I see what other men must not. Someone's mother, a beautiful and intelligent woman. The truth, Sheila. [00:47:34] Speaker C: Maybe Betty was right. Betty White was right. [00:47:38] Speaker D: How do you see me? Look, it's not for my sake, it's for yours. How do you see me? [00:47:48] Speaker A: This is right. [00:47:51] Speaker D: Where is that written? Tell me it's a crime. Tell me I'm not a man and we'll say goodbye. [00:48:00] Speaker A: I'm afraid of living. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Well, you just gonna have to see what happens for yourself. Because Sheila, Donna Reed's character goes through the ups and downs of life in every aspect of the word. I mean, she experiences her son getting into trouble, having to help get him out with the help of a lawyer, got in trouble with the police, pressure from her mother and a huge tragedy and more. So go and check out the best place to be. So, guys, that is it for your gifts of perfume, flowers and a home. I really hope that you have a wonderful, wonderful holiday. I really hope that you all have your family and friends over and you all gather around and take a look at this. Hold on, baby. Hold on.
