Brock Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 For someone who Van Johnson's Darrel described as "definitely NOT a talker", Louise Troy sure left a lasting impression in Yours, Mine & Ours. Thinking about it today, I really couldn't think of anyone in such a relatively small role in a Lucy film that completely stole the show. Not only was she hysterical in the Japanese restaurant scene, but on the drive home I always find myself watching her rather than Lucy and Henry. She had a small role and wrang absolutely everything she could out of it and she deserves some kudos not just for her facial expressions, but her great delivery: "You're not worshipping me." Helen: And then they stay outside all night kissing! Madeleine: HEAVENS to Betsy! What will they think of next?! :rolleyes: "And then the Mama Bear said to the Papa Bear, 'Who's been sleeping in my bed!' :rolleyes: " Madeleine: How many do you have? Frank: 10. Madeleine: *gasp!* "10 kids, I'm nervous just sitting next to you!" "...then you can work yourselves into a WILD game of post office![/b] Frank: At the end of the day I'm glad I have 10 children. Helen: And I'm glad I have my eight. Madeleine: And I'm glad I'm careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Louise Troy is indeed great in the film. She had a string of Tony nominations in the 1960s. I wonder why she didn't have a bigger career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Kampen Tripp Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 People (at that time and probably today) would put drops.of acid (LSD) on.sugar cubes and then would eat the sugar cube to experience the acid "TRIP". So it cracked me up when Madeline said to Frank while.sitting in the middle of the car "Did you put something in my.sugar? I have the strangest feeling Im taking a trip" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Wow, string of nominations and married to Colonel Klink, who knew? She was fabulous in the film. Such great deadpan delivery. So so natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
