Don't forget I love to sing-a!

I never knew Robert Goulet was even considered.
I'll have to check out the Presnell appearances, thanks.

Good point, PFriedman.
Great background info, johnm.
I was making a joke, Cinemascope.
VEHICLE= ROLLS ROYCE
I am sorry you didn't get it.

That was a great book! I read it in college right before I had a paper due.
I think our local library still has a copy.
-
Some of the greats!

Whenever it is, it surely won't be dull!

I also hope folks won't forget her in The Women. Not only did she have
a juicy role, but she also was playing against her current studio rival,
Norma Shearer.

I think Shirley in The Unsinkable Molly Brown would have been definitely different
from Debbie's performance, but I also think Shirley Maclaine would have
had absolutely no chemistry with Harve Presnell, who was always
the first choice for the role as far as I know.
Maybe The Yellow Rolls Royce should have been a musical.

Hey, fellas. I'm near Houston! Lots of folks from Texas love TCM boards.

I've read the Marion Meade book on Buster Keaton and thought it informative
and enlightening.
My question is for any folks who would have comments concerning its credibility.
Anyone?

Dan, I've been reading and searching for days. Judith is amazing!
What a great question, and what an informative response.

I'll try to check it out next time it's scheduled. Thanks.

This is one of my favorite lines from The African Queen:
Crazy, psalm-singin, skinny old maid!
(It must be the alliteration that draws me in to this one, plus the snarly
way he delivered it.)
-
Well, I agree, PFriedman and mrsl. X-snay on the Shirley-ay.
Unsinkable was just not the right vehicle for her.
She was more suited to a Yellow Rolls Royce!

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen, and
I am so grateful Harper Lee had the courage to write
the book, and that Horton Foote wrote the screenplay.
Brock Peters, who passed away in 2005, gave one of the greatest performances ever on film.
His portrayal, as well as Gregory Peck's, forced everyone
who views that movie to take a long, hard, look at ourselves.
And there are many people who have the unpleasant jobs
in this world, and many people who have unpleasant lives,
but To Kill A Mockingbird gives everyone hope for a better
tomorrow.

Thanks for the great links, johnm. I had forgotten how lovely the Hawaii theme was,
and what a fantastic score Bernstein created. Any idea how long it took him
to create that score?
I hadn't listened to the theme from Henry Orient in ages. It was good, too.

Moira,
I do agree with your on-target assessment of Mr. Douglas in The Mating Game.
His reponses seemed rushed as if he was , at time, hunting the punch.
My fondness for Mr. Douglas originally stems from his debut role
in A Letter To Three Wives as Porter Hollingsway. But I also love
that movie because of Kirk Douglas' speech about the media, and I feel
it's still true today.
But Porter Hollingsway was a "class" act. And I've enjoyed Paul Douglas
ever since. In any just about any role he played. The Mating Game,
however, was mostly a Debbie and Tony party.

Disagreements are just that. People disagree. This is something that
has been going on FER-EVER. I would enjoy having this thread
to return to the veneration and adoration of a great artist, Julie Andrews.
Or we could just shut down what has become an UNHAPPINESS
THREAD, and start up fresh with a new Julie Thread.
The disagreements could continue ad infinitum on the personal
messages level.
Can we simply return this thread back to the discussion of Julie
Andrews and disperse disagreements to the PM venue?
Returning the thread would entail: johnm_001 changing the
title, and Cinemascope and others agreeing to move the serious
disagreements to the personal messages arena.
Any comments?
I must leave now, but will return later this evening due to personal commitments.

I find him attractive because of the roles he portrayed: gruff, at times, sweet,
cuddly, do the right thing and stand up for what you believe in!
-
I though Ann Sheridan was great in the 50's remake of The Women,
The Opposite Sex.
-
What a great story, Mr. Dan!
I'd love to try, but won't have much time.
Why don't you do another one?
-
That is a good point, Moira. One aspect of Douglas' body of work is the variety
of choices he seemed to have made. The Solid Gold Cadillac was a relatively
successful stage play, and choosing to venture into unknown territory,
as opposed to clinging to Born Yesterday was really a maverick's motion professionally, and he
was also afforded the opportunity to appear with Judy Holliday.

Complicated Women by Mick La Salle. I was ignorant of the pre-code era
before, and a definite fan afterwards.

I loved her in The Three Caballeros. Not many folks realized it was Carmen's
sister! I used to show this as a video for my students and many went
away humming or trying to sing that Portuguese number.
