Bravo patypancake! Your so right about that munchkin Martin Sheen who reminds me of an undertaker. No doubt that he's taking his job as the president on "The Left Wing" too seriously. He should keep his piehole shut along with Jessica Lange, George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Streisand etc.
None of us want war however we support our men and women in uniform while the comments from these nitwits tend to make them feel that their efforts for the protection of our country are in vain.
Thank goodness a recent poll indicated that close to 80% of America ignore them.
I'm also hoping that "Chicago" makes a clean sweep at the Oscars ...except for best director who should go to Martin Scorsese.

Well done Spencer! It looks like you hit the bullseye on your predictions however the Oscars always seem to throw in a monkey wrench in at least one of the catergories.
Considering its the 75th year of the awards I'm looking forward to getting a look at some of the past winners showing up (hopefully).
Although with the war pending the show could also be cancelled.

Paty it seems like we were down this road once before however I'm always up for some fun.
....and so the other ship crashes into shore hitting some cocoa nut trees and out falls Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall. Once on their feet they help the passengers off the ship including Billy Haines who wanted to know where Lamour bought her sarong. Of all people Garbo suddenly appears with wishes of being ALONE on the Island. All of a sudden Billy Gilbert comes floating by with Thelma Todd sitting on his belly paddling to shore. As other celebrities descend on the Island a typhoon is whipping up from the ocean and....
OK someone take over.

Oscar grievance:
Just recently watched "Witness for the Prosecution" and was reminded that Marlene Dietrich didn't get a Best Actress nomination for her stunning performance although that same year Lana Turner got one for "Peyton Place".
Am I missing something?
Also couldn't believe that Bogart didn't get a nomination for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" while Dan Dailey was nominated for something called "When My Baby Smiles at Me"?
And could you believe that Cagney was skipped over for "White Heat"? Dorothy McGuire for "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"? And get this neither Ida Lupino or Edward G. Robinson were ever nominated for an Oscar!!!
Grievances anyone?

I would say Dennis Morgan crooning "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" surrounded by beauties on a spinning staircase in "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936).

While watching "Smart Money" (1931) on TCM today there was a funny line: Edward G. Robinson to a discruntled James Cagney "Your face is so long I'll charge you two prices for a shave".

Davis did play twins in two films. She starred in "A Stolen Life" with Glenn Ford and in "Dead Ringer" with Karl Malden and Peter Lawford.

Elizabeth Taylor? Bette Davis? Joan Crawford? If these stars ended their careers in the films noted above we would have been deprived of the ultra gorgeous Maggie the Cat and the Hudson sisters.
I believe Alan Ladd should have called it quits after "Shane".

The name of the film is "The Little Fugitive" (1953) and starred little Richie Andrusco. It was made on a low budget and is now considered a minor classic.

I had my suspicions about some of the crap written in Anger's books although I like the presentation of the pictures many of which I have not seen before.
Thanks for the info coffeedan.

Sounds like your movie is "Blowing Wild" (1953) which also starred Gary Cooper.

Adele Jergens
Mary Beth Hughes
Marion Martin
Iris Adrian
Maria Montez

brad, you certainly may add "Brief Encounter" to the list especially since Celia Johnson earned an Oscar nomination and won the New York Film Critics award for her powerful performance in the romantic drama. Somehow I overlooked this gem from director David Lean.

Captain I believe that Loretta Young did fess up to her daughter that Gable was her dad.
I would ask Thelma Todd "Who did it"?
I would ask Lana Turner "who really did it"?

Just watched the movie "Captains of the Clouds" (1942) on TCM is glorious old Hollywood Technicolor. For the first time I got a good look at the mop of red hair on James Cagney since most of his early films were in black and white. It made it all the better and fittingly since he played a feisty Irishman.
