The most important part here is the 'six previews for lost features' as one of them is for Gary's film Beau Sabreur. I love all that really old stuff about the development of movies so I know I'm going to enjoy this and of course I'll upload the Beau Sabreur preview once I get it. I hope it's good! Holy Mackarel! I remember Dan talking about that sometime this past spring/summer; I couldn't believe we could actually get our hands on the preview of *Beau Sabreur*. I can't wait to see it, but I know it'll only be that much more of a teaser...

*Can I come over? No, I promise to behave... at first.* If you can find your way in the cold, the doors will be wide open. *You should see me in a slip. I look smashing. Maybe I'll wear that over to your place.* You must wear something more than just a slip, otherwise I'd get a liiiiiittle embarrassed. Put on one of those beautiful silk gowns, I'm sure you'll look twice as smashing in that. *I love Angela Lansbury, so Gaslight happens to be one of my favorites* I hope Theresa knows about this. She fancies Angela Lansbury something fierce, so she's been trying to steer me toward some of her films. I can't wait to watch this one so I can tell Theresa that I finally watched an Angela Lansbury film, aside from...**ahem** ....*The Court Jester* **Kicks the dirt and mumbles as she looks down, clearing her throat and giving an awkward chuckle out of embarrassement.** Heh, I have a weakness for Danny Kaye, was can I say?

*PKTrekGirl is super resourceful at finding obscure titles like The Light That Failed* So I've noticed *Since you are exploring the noir world, Miss Dickens, you might like A Double Life.* I've had that one on my queue list for a while -- I can't wait to see it.

I love that photo, April! Thanks for sharing; I must see this film...and soon!

*Why isn't Max Ophuls worshipped? I am hard pressed to think of another director whose camera is as lush and sweeping, but whose stories at their core are as dark.* I was very much intregued by the film. It was both light and sweet, yet also dark and depressing. I'd love to see more Max Ophuls films; he's a brilliant director.

I went to the library this weekend and checked out a few movies I thought someone had suggested to me a while back. Many of the films that are listed in this thread weren't available, but I picked up these instead: Metropolis Gaslight The Third Man Citizen Kane What are your thoughts? or

Amazing videos, Angie!! Gosh, now I've got the itch to make a slideshow; but I still want to try it while using actual video scenes. Now that we have a new computer I'll have to plunk around on it for a while and come up with something Next time I make a video I'm going to use one of those silent songs ( ) you gave me for Christmas...

**Gasps** You better not ruin the ending! I was about to cover my eyes *Do they ever show "The Light That Failed" on TCM?* Personally, I've never seen it. I just checked the listings and it doesn't show for TCM; although you can request it...

I wouldn't go about bragging, because people would think I were trying to act rude about it; this is the second time I've actually told anyone about it, but I just couldn't resist on the Ronald Colman thread.

*My favorites are (of course) Prisoner of Zenda, Tale of Two Cities, and Random Harvest. It's embarrassing, really....you'll find me in a little soggy heap on the floor after watching RH* I have yet to watch *Prisoner of Zenda*; I started watching it last night but I got too sleepy and had to turn it off. *Tale of Two Cities* Is my absolute favorite. I was speaking with my Mom's aunt a couple weeks ago and she said that our family was related to Charles Dickens -- I nearly fainted. All I could think about was how neat it was to be related to the man who wrote one of my favorite movies. Random Harvest is my second favorite because I also adore Greer Garson. lol, I'm right next to ya' in that soggy heap, Jack; that film is heavenly. *I would be interested in seeing Colman's silent version of Stella Dallas and also The Winning of Barbara Worth, however, I don't know if I could stand not hearing that beautiful voice* I love *The Winning of Barbara Worth* because my beloved Gary Cooper stars in that film as well. The first time I saw the film I was watching it because of Gary, not even noticing Ronald once. But now that I'm more aware of Mr. Colman, I think I'll watch the film again from a different angle. I love Gary and Ronald's old silents, but I miss those voices!! :x

You're welcome, CF! They're quite unique; I may just whip up a couple of these recipes myself to see how well they really taste

In Vienna, about 1900, a dashing man arrives at his flat, instructing his manservant that he will leave before morning: the man is Stefan Brand, formerly a concert pianist, planning to leave Vienna to avoid a duel. His servant gives him a letter from an unknown woman, which he reads. In flashbacks we see the lifelong passion of Lisa Berndle for him: first as a girl who was his neighbor; next as a young woman who, in secret, has his child; then as a mature woman who meets him again and abandons husband and son to be with him. Each time he does not remember who she is or that they have ever met. By morning, he has finished the letter, and her husband awaits satisfaction. I just finished watching this movie last night and it hit somewhat close to home in the obsession aspect. I love this movie dearly and I just wish it weren't so darn expensive on Amazon/Ebay. Hopefully TCM will air it sometime soon... Part 1 of 9: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGIVrm_oYVQ

*URP!* Pardon my obsessive compulsiveness, but was that just a quote from Deeds?

*Gary Cooper as a Zombie would have been great with a little makeup* Wow, I would have never figured Gary for a zombie. That's quite a mental picture...

*SEveral of those Coop pix are new to me, Kim, and MUCHISIMOS GRACIAS for the pictures of that big eared "brute"!! Hee!* Awwww, you're welcome, April! I thought you'd like those pictures

I know this is off topic, but I came across these images and I didn't know where else to place 'em so you'll all find be able to find 'em: Angie: Theresa: April: Frank:

Great images, April!! Thank you muchly for uploading them You just reminded me of the new photos posted on ebay! (Just ignore the repeats)

Mr Deeds will go down as the first Gary Cooper movie I have watched and the judgment is - EXCELLENT - just brilliant, witty Phew! I was hoping you'd like it, DS. Like I said, similiar to *Mr. Smith goes to Washington*, no? *call me pixilated* Oh, I will -- don't worry *As as I get some extra money I am ordering the Frank Capra set, as I like them all.* I can't wait to buy this set -- I'mma savin' up my money for it! *Cloak and Dagger is next ..* Can't wait to hear your comments on that one... I'm not positive that you'll like it; but we'll just have to wait and see.

Ваш английский очень хорош, Senta! I'll have to get crackin' on those reviews as well; I've been slacking the past couple months because I've been so busy. But I love swapping review notes with you guys. *Ball of Fire* was very good; it had a lot of great elements that added to the film greatly. I loved all the little wisecracks, too. I've seen *Bringin up Baby*, but that was quite a while ago. I'll need to watch it again -- Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant are a wonderful comedy team.

*I'm really looking for big ones (that are also clear, crisp photos) so that I can do a desktop for him* Another desktop, PKT? Wow, I can't wait to see this one.

Hearing you speak so highly of *Scarlet Street* is now building up my interest. So it's #1 on my netflix queue. *Out of the Past is a must for you if you like "razor blade tongues." It's loaded with "bitey" dialogue.* Oooo, sounds perfect!

*Everything that you wrote suggests to me that you may actually love film noir. Your words make me believe you are gonna love the noir journey. Film noir ain't pretty yet it's gorgeous. You keepin' up?* Perfectly. *I GOT YOU!* **Snaps fingers** Darn, ya' got me. Well, I'll catch you in a slipup someday, Frank. And I hope it won't literally be a slip -- we may have to have a looooong talk if it ever comes to that... *So who do you think I am referring to when I say, "I'd never associate with a person who hasn't seen It Happened One Night AND Gone with the Wind"? This person has a razor-blade tongue who will often drive you to the brink of madness. Are you screaming for no reason yet, Psychotic Lady?* Almost, just stay here with me a little longer, Frank, I feel a scream coming on... *Now where's that rocker of yours?* I'm sitting on it....now. *Hey, at least you didn't post any Coop chest hair on this thread yet. Don't you get any ideas, either.* I was darn close....

*"Margot" is one of the greatest femmes fatale I have seen to date. No, I didn't say, "I seem to date." Stop that.*
