LISA: Stella, your choice of words … STELLA: Nobody's invented polite words yet for killing. Meet Noah Lee, Transgender Son of Threes Company Star John Ritter. He killed her in there, and he has to wipe up the stains before he leaves. (Jeff and Lisa look at her.) Well, why not? That's what we're all thinking. STELLA: (watching Thorwald washing down his bathroom) Must have splattered a lot. She calls the police when it looks like Miss Lonelyhearts is about to commit suicide, and she helps Jeff get whatever info they can about Thorwald. Stella eventually gets drawn in to the drama as she starts to think that Jeff's suspicions might not be unfounded.
#STELLA RITTER HOW TO#
We're glad someone figured out how to make it work. I'll give you two words of advice: marry her.Įxcept for Stella and Miles, all of the other marriages we see in the film are in trouble, or at least filled with bickering. Lisa Fremont's loaded to her fingertips with love for you. JEFF: That's fine, Stella, now will you make me a sandwich? STELLA: Okay, but I'm going to spread some common sense on the bread. STELLA: When I married Miles, we were both maladjusted misfits.
But, I can tell you one thing: when a man and a woman see each other and like each other, they ought to come together, wham, like a couple of taxis on Broadway and not sit around analyzing each other like two specimens in a bottle. Stella has been married a long time herself, and she knows it ain't easy. Lisa Fremont is the right girl for any man with half a brain who can get one eye open. STELLA: Every man's ready for marriage when the right girl comes along. STELLA: You kidding? She's a beautiful, young girl, and you're a reasonably healthy young man. Stella is the one character who presents some common-sense ideas about marriage: it's hard, and you can't sit around waiting for the perfect person. In addition to disapproving of Jeff's peeping, Stella thinks he's crazy for not marrying Lisa. Played by veteran actress Thelma Ritter, whose voice, as Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote, " could clean an oven," Stella stands as (Canby again) "the wisecracking representative of the happy but caustic proletariat." Stella's Guide to Love and Marriage
STELLA: I can smell trouble right here in this apartment. Stella prides herself on having a nose for trouble, and she sure smells it now: How's that for a bit of homespun philosophy? What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. STELLA: We've become a race of peeping Toms. Stella definitely disapproves of Jeff's new hobby: She's the main source of comic relief in this suspenseful film. She shows up to check his vitals, give him a massage, and give him blunt, unsolicited advice about his love life. Stella is a nurse working for the insurance company handling Jeff's case.
