Why doesn't TCM show Portrait of a Mobster? And when will it be out on DVD?
-
Helen Mirrin must have loved when Prince William said he should call her "granny".

Wow, this is great, nice photo! I don't know many of the people in the photo but #1 looks like James Garner in Maverick. #3 looks like Robert Mitchum, #7 looks like Glenn Ford, #23 is Jay Silverheels and #25 is the Lone Range, was his name Clayton Moore? Is #10 Jack Palance? I'm really not good at this...but I know Chuck Connors, James Arness and a few others must be in there, but don't know which one they are.

Just read that Vic Morrow would have been 85 years old today. Can't believe that. He was a great actor. I still watch re-runs of Combat television show. Do you have any favorite movies or tv appearances that Vic Morrow made?
-
My list would be -
William Holden
Richard Basehart
Ralph Meeker
James Cagney
Edward G. Robinson
Marlon Brando
James Dean (they can have a 1/2 day of his films and documentary)
Paul Newman
Vincent Price
Vivien Leigh
Laurence Olivier
Vic Morrow - don't recall them ever giving him a SUTS day
Bette Davis
Dana Andrews
Lee J. Cobb
Gregory Peck
Jeanne Crain
Frank Sinatra
Burt Lancaster
Richard Widmark
Steve McQueen
Martin Balsam
Clark Gable
Lucille Ball
John Garfield
Glenn Ford

I found him very compelling. I'd say he was great and probably would have been even greater had he lived longer.
-
I think she is very beautiful, and originally, I never even noticed the prominant nose except when she turns to the side.
-
I liked the part in East of Eden with the birthday scene. I think this movie was his best. I didn't much like Giant or Rebel Without A Cause - but I think Dean was a very good actor in these films.
-
Forgot to mention, I like Kay Lenz in Breezy with William Holden. Other than that, I only know her from being married to David Cassidy.
-
Giada is pretty facing frontwards - but from the side, she has a schnozz like Jimmy Durante
-
My first thought was Hazel - Shirley Boothe

The TCM Remembers is always very touching and poignant, but I think they select the worst songs and singers I ever heard - this year is no exception. I had to put my tv on mute. I'd prefer complete silence to honor those who passed away. If they have to select a song, how about something people heard of - like "Memories" sung by Elvis or "The Way We Were"....they can even just play the music to these songs without the words.....
-
I had to put it on mute. The song was awful as was the singer. Perhaps they should just have complete silence while showing the wonderful people we lost this year.

1. From Here to Eternity.
2. On the Waterfront
3. A Patch of Blue

9. Stalag 17

Yes very good post. Just a question on East of Eden. Why was Aron so upset over finding out his mother was actually alive? I understand she didn't have an upstanding profession, but why would that bother Aron so much and cause him to go off the deep end? Also, when Cal asks Aron if he has a minute so he could show him something (he wanted to bring him to see his mother), did Aron actually go on top of the train to get there, as Cal had done on previous occassions? Did Aron actually climb on top of the train with that suit on?

Sunset Boulevard
-
Natalie Wood
Shirley Jones
James Dean
Marlon Brando
Paul Newman
William Holden
Hedy Lamarr
Elizabeth Taylor
-
Looks like either Rutger Hauer or an old Tony Curtis
-
Is Blackboard Jungle on the schedule? I didn't see it listed there and they usually play it.
-
Would you call James Dean an icon, a legend or neither?
I find it amazing that he is so revered after making only 3 films (albeit, terrific films), and having such a short career....and 58 years after we lost him, he is still so popular.
I think East of Eden is my favorite James Dean film. What a terrific actor - such a shame that we will never know what could have been and how he would have evolved as he got older by taking more complex, varied roles. He was a good actor and very handsome as well.

I keep thinking of Hal March playing the "doctor" on I Love Lucy who tells her she has the "gobloots"
-
I agree with Allsaints. Marlon Brando was MAGNIFICENT in Streetcar Named Desire. One of the greatest performances ever - and to me, it was highway robbery that he didn't win Best Actor for his performance, especially when all 3 other co-stars won for that film and Brando made the entire film. I don't think Lancaster could have come close to playing Stanley Kowalski the way Brando did. Plus, Brando was so stunningly good looking and sexy - there was nobody like him - not now, not ever.
By the way, I don't think Brando cared that much about his On The Waterfront Oscar...I think he was still hot after not winning for Streetcar and he ultimately used that Oscar as a doorstop and then wound up losing it all together. I think I read that somewhere.

Vic Morrow as Rhett Butler
Bette Davis as Scarlet O'Hara
Lee J. Cobb as Ashley Wilkes
Shelley Winters as Melanie
That's an interesting cast.

There are plenty of reasons for a pitcher to have vaseline in his glove. One of which is that he might have a hemorrhoid. Seems plausible to me. Why should they pick on him?
James Dean

I felt the same way. The role of Cal Trask was made for James Dean.
