Richard Kimble

Three story mural by animator Fred Mogubgub, at Third Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan, 1965:

That was not the problem. The problem was this is the film that was nominated:

I said nothing about racism or racial segregation (which apparently to you is the same thing as being Southern). Maryland is not nor has it ever been part of the Deep South.

Her character in the film is from Maryland, which is most definitely not the Deep South.

Well at a San Francisco party c. 1960, he asked Bob Newhart to dance

The current format is one reason I don't come to the board very often. Reading newest-post first threads is not a terribly pleasant experience This is the only board I've ever frequented where newest-post-first is not only the default option, but the only option. IMDb, Free Republic, Democratic Underground, FlyerTalk (1.3 million threads), Digital Spy (1.7 million threads), City Data (1.7 million threads), Bodybuilding.com (5.7 million threads) are all oldest-post first.

How long has the board been allowing GIFs? I tried to post one a month or so ago and got a "that format is not permitted" page.

If I can nitpick, it was a bit part, not a cameo. And yes, he does manage to interject some personality into his brief scene. I actually think Dean would have been better than Newman. The role is basically a variation on Dean's standard misunderstood youth. Some ethnic non-whitebread type, certainly. I like Newman in a lot of things but IMHO he was often ridiculous as Rocky Graziano. Needless to say, it's the part that made him a star. lol

East Of Eden is the best overall film, but Rebel is the "Deanest". Giant is pretty boring when Dean is offscreen.

That's a great story (Guy Gabaldon) -- I wish it had gotten a better treatment

I think that's part of the point

In his early performances Lundigan sometimes rushed through his lines, as if he had an urgent appointment and had to get off the set as quickly as possible. Yes, this was his best role. He also did an interesting film noir called Follow Me Quietly.

As you might guess from my screen name, I am a huge fan of The Fugitive (my all time favorite TV drama). An intriguing thing about Janssen is that while he became immortal as the grim Fugitive, his previous series Richard Diamond was often (darkly) comic in tone, prefiguring Rockford in its banter. Another irony is that Janssen was something of a joker in real life. I once saw an outtake from Harry O with Janssen and another actor on an airplane. The actor says a line, and Janssen does not respond. After staring at him stonefaced for several seconds, Janssen finally says, "You ad-lib once more and I'll break your legs". They both erupt in laughter.

Grant was friends with Wilder socially and often said he hoped they could work together. But he would never agree on a script. And Grant's career was kind of in the doldrums (comparatively) when Sabrina was made. He wasn't getting that many great offers, and was even considering retirement.

Grant was the original choice for LITA (as he had been for Sabrina), but did not want to be seen as an aging playboy. While Cooper of course lacks Grant's comic ability, his presence does give the film a certain air of sad regret that might have been missing with Grant. Whether sad regret is what the film needs is another question....

On the other hand, Douglas might have brought a depth and vulnerability to the role that was beyond MacMurray.

Douglas died shortly after filming the Twilight Zone episode "The Mighty Casey". While editing the episode, Rod Serling decided that Douglas (as a baseball manager) looked so ill and haggard that his footage was unusable, and reshot his scenes with Jack Warden. Whether the Douglas footage still survives I don't know.

How do you delete a post?

My problem with Brando in GAD is not his singing voice, but his actual acting performance. He seems too downbeat for a carefree gambler. BTW does anyone know if Brando recorded the song "My Time Of Day"? And does it survive? The song was unfortunately cut from the film version Frank Loesser and colleague:

If you can get past the "yellowface" aspect, Brando is quite good in Teahouse. He shows a nice touch for comedy -- and even more unexpected, brings a heretofore-unseen innocence to the role. I had no problem with it Aside from being too old, I thought Busey did quite well as Holly. But you are right about McIntire. He was absolutely nothing like Alan Freed.

Bogart's problem in VC is his accent --- he has it in some scenes but not others. You expect some sort of dialogue saying he's masqueradiing as a Mexican to hide from the army or something, but there is never any explanation Flynn agreed to do VC on the basis that Olivia DeHavilland would play the role. She was replaced shortly before filming by Hopkins, who owed Warners one last commitment. Flynn tried to get MH fired, which did not help the already tense atmosphere on the set. Their total lack of onscreen chemistry rivals Of Human Bondage's infamous Laurence Harvey and Kim Novak for the allttime Odd Couple award. IIRC in the last shot -- where you'd expect a clinch -- they are not even looking at each other but gazing off in different directions Flynn claimed Hopkins was his least favorite leading lady, and that it wasn't close. She was Bette Davis' least favorite co-star as well.

It was shot in 1i943

IMHO it would have been fun, but a different dynamic: Cagney as outsider rather than Flynn's insider forced out.

Hispanic = His panic Glenn Ford's Latin lover in The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Paul Newman as ze Mehican bandeeto in The Outrage

IMHO his Napoleon is the best thing in the film .Kazan wanted Brando, who supposedly agreed to play the role but withdrew shortly afterward.
