Featured this week (theme introduction)
Monday — Rio Rita (1942)
Rambling Rose (1991)
This could win you a buck or two. The answer to the trivia question is Rambling Rose.
Rose is a Southern belle with a shady past—a “borderline nymphomaniac,” according to the local doctor—in this family drama set in Depression-era Georgia. The fine ensemble cast includes Laura Dern in the title role, along with Robert Duvall and Diane Ladd as the father and mother of the well-meaning family that takes her in.
Oh, that trivia question: What’s the only movie with performances by a mother-daughter pair of actresses in which both were nominated for Oscars?

Quote of Note
“Rosebud, I swear to God, you are as graceful as a capital letter S.”
—Daddy Hillyer (Robert Duvall), Rambling Rose (1991)
…58…59…60.
