Acteurist Oeuvre-View – Season 1 – Jennifer Jones: The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956) and Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955)

In this week's Jennifer Jones episode, we view our heroine in two new lights: as wife (in Nunnally Johnson's 1956 social problem epic, THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT) and spinster (in Henry Koster's GOOD MORNING, MISS DOVE 1955). Then, in our Moviegoing Section, we discuss Joseph Mankiewicz's THE GHOST & MRS. MUIR (1947) as the Hollywood Gertrud, along with Bresson and the pleasure of asceticism.   Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:          The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956; dir: Nunnally Johnson) 0h 36m 16s:          Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955; dir: Henry Koster) 0h 50m 04s:          Winter cinemagoing: The Ghost & Mrs. Muir (1946; dir: Joseph Mankiewicz) @ The Paradise on Bloor; Week One of The Poetry of Precision – TIFF Cinematheque's Robert Bresson retrospective – Les anges du péché (1943); Journal d'un curé de campagne (1951); Un condamné à mort s'est échappé (1956); Procès de Jeanne d'Arc (1962); The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956; dir: Alfred Hitchcock)   +++ * Check out our Complete Upcoming Episode Schedule * Find Elise's latest published film piece "Making America Strange Again: Gangs of New York" in issue #80 Bright Wall/Dark Room* *And Read Elise's Writing at Bright Wall/Dark Room, Cléo, and Bright Lights.* Follow us on Twitter at @therebuggy Write to us at [email protected] Theme Music: "What's Yr Take on Cassavetes?" – Le Tigre
