Thank you so much everyone, and you, GarboMania, for the "toast" with my favorite fizzy blonde concoction! However, I think I am just an A Number 1 "board hog" and it's only the kindness of everyone here to put up with my pigginess. Your posts and pictures are a great part of that.
Frank---the pic with *la Principessa* was just for you. I hope it coaxes you to watch a Natalie Wood movie now and then.
Thanks everyone, again, for making this thread so lively---I'm sure Natalie would have been touched. I have met Robert Wagner twice---and if I ever run into him again and it feels appropriate, I am going to tell him about this little thread and how many new fans Natalie still continues to attract.

Finally, after about 100 tries I got in.
Here is a link to the DVDTimes page about the Ford at Fox set, giving the most complete details so far as to what will be on the discs, including the extras. Also, there is another picture of the contents:

Ken: I am dizzy now not about the news but from trying to log in.

Yes, Ken, I'm a busy little bee, busy making honey...

Goodness! That is too cute for words! If I do say so myself, Gary has one fine looking little harem here; if he could come back he would.
I want to find a picture I can do that with, too---do Angie and Kim have any they've done of themselves with Gary? It's so cool.

There you go, my kind of guy, and thank YOU, Mongo, for bringing up this most interesting man. I absolutely love that he was a sailor and used his movie money to finance that passion. That is beyond cool to me. I remember the first time I saw him, I was a kid and he came on Johnny Carson's show (I wish I could see that one again) and made such an impression on me---I had no idea then who the heck he was, only that he seemed like something out of a Robert Louis Stevenson tale.
And what a voice! I love his voice, it's a great voice for a seaman.
One role that I want to mention because he really managed to do alot with it, though it was small, was as the philosophical assassin in *Hard Contract* . He made James Coburn, who I like, seem so....amateur, to use a word from the script.
I really liked him in The Star with that Bette broad, what a pair.
P.S. I wanted to add that this thread inspired me to order Hayden's autobiography. Can't wait to read it.

wow, Theresa that image is fantastic!! You look great and so does he---you should frame that and hang it on your wall!
Here are a couple of images from *City Streets* , just to get you warmed up.

Hi Film Fatale---agreed about the concern for the bottom line, but not to the degree it happens today. At least back then the studio heads loved making movies as much as making money. Plus, I think the audiences they were trying to please had much better taste than now.
Fred---I'd be in dire financial straights if the theaters started showing the classics because I be there almost daily.

I'm going to post a few in one box because this site is running so slow, I may not get back in for another chance!

Finally! I have been able to post in every other thread but this one all morning. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Angie, that's such a cute picture with your "Sugarbritches"...I trust it's in full view in your office and/or home.
My plan to see *City Streets* on Tuesday nights was in some jeapardy because I am supposed to go out that night, but I begged and pleaded to change the date so now I can go out with the only real man in Manhattan.

A noir native, Richard Conte, here with Susan Hayward in House of Strangers...
...and with Jimmy Stewart in Call Northside 777...
...and calling the shots in The Big Combo.

Things aren't always what they seem. (And I found a way to sneak Coop in here!) From *City Streets* , which I hope to see on the big screen next week.

*Bogart in Dead Reckoning*

Sinatra, plotting no good in *Suddenly* .

*John Garfield* in *He Ran All the Way* , his final film.

You never know what you'll find when you look over your shoulder in Dark City. *Nancy Carroll* .

Best friends to the end? See *Van Heflin* and *Robert Taylor* in *Johnny Eager* and find out.

You can't even trust your best friend. "Keys" (Edward G. Robinson) looks like the "little man" inside him is getting suspicious of his old pal Fred MacMurray.

*Martha O'Driscoll* lays it on *John Garfield* in *The Fallen Sparrow* .

I have never seen *I, The Jury* , but I'm betting *Peggie Castle* is messing with *Biff Elliot's* mind in this scene.

In an interesting twist on this topic, I just read that a new trend may start if success is met with the introduction of film director commentaris being made available for download----*for current theatrical releases* ! As an experiment, a new movie opening called *The Nines* has made its director's commentary available for download to iPods which you can listen to during the actual theatrical showing---no need to wait for the dvd.
Here is the article:
