A surprisingly large % of those WB TV leading men are still with us (must've been something in the studio water fountain). In addition to Smith and Byrnes, there's: James Garner Clint Walker Robert Conrad Will Hutchins Ty Hardin Roger Moore Robert Colbert All are 80+ WB contractee Adam West is also 80+; juveniles Peter Brown and Van Williams are getting there. Not having seen much 77SS, EZ's finest hour for me remains his turn as Dandy Jim Buckley on Maverick, including the classic "Shady Deal At Sunny Acres" (one of the greatest TV episodes ever, later ripped off by The Sting -- but that's another story). I can vaguely remember The FBI being on when I was wee tot. I found it extremely boring and privately classified EZ in the Dull Dept, unaware of Inspector Lewis Erskine's colorful past under the aliases Dandy Jim and Stu Bailey. In an eerie but not terribly interesting coincidence, I happened to watch the intro of the first FBI episode (with Jeffrey Hunter) just a few nights ago...

TLI is actually a significant film in Hollywood history, as it showed how power had shifted from the studios to the agents. We should be grateful, at least in this case, as Martin is much more convincing than Randall would have been (he was generally bad-to-embarrassing in dramatic roles). IMHO Martin is the best thing in the film.

Interesting to see the various styles used (For different release areas? Magazines and newspapers with different reader bases?) from traditional to modern: Hip and trendy: More conservative: '20s design: Throwback to the early '20s and maybe WWI:

You're kinda stretching it to call her the female lead in Parrish.

Pretty sure it's public domain* *"P D" gets censored on here?!

It's been said that LF did for filmmaking what Shadows did for film acting. Truffaut cited it as an influence on the New Wave. TCM has also shown Morris Engel's followup Weddings and Babies, which features professional actors like Viveca Lindfors -- and John Myhers as the romantic lead.

... if they do, that will bring us to the all time champ: Amy Fisher: My Story -- 28 December 1992 The Amy Fisher Story -- 3 January 1993 Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story -- 3 January 1993 Yes, there were not two but three TV-movies about the same now-forgotten tabloid scandal, all broadcast within one week, including two shown opposite each other.

I'd like to see a movie where Bligh and the mutiny are portrayed accurately And one that deals factually with the events on Pitcairn

Perhaps only semi-relevant, but it's always intrigued me that in 1964 James Garner made not one but two films whose plots hinge on the fact that D-Day was postponed by 24 hours.

I believe they were both ready for release in late '63, but were delayed due to the Kennedy assassination. The fascinating thing is that Kubrick was somehow able to talk Columbia (studio of both films) into releasing Strangelove first. From an overall commercial perspective, this seems completely illogical to me -- release the drama first, then let people laugh at the subject later. But Kubrick somehow got his way, dooming the commercial prospects of Fail-Safe. I mean who would want to watch Henry Fond grimly negotiating on the hot line after hearing Peter Sellers as Presidet Merkin Muffley?

1960: Oscar Wilde (Robert Morley) and The Trials of Oscar Wilde (a miscast Peter Finch).

The Gladiators, based on a 1930 novel by Arthur Koestler (Spartacus was published in 1951). The script for the former was by the blacklisted Abe Polonsky, (while the latter was scripted by the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo). Martin Ritt was to have been the director.

There were some OK moments in KEY LARGO, but I hope he hated ARGO

Widmark was never as big a star as Lancaster. I'd put him at about the Robert Mitchum level. And like Mitchum, he was able to maintain his star status for quite a long time, over two decades, despite the fact that few of his films were noteworthy.

Is there some reason you're singling out J&TB? I was unaware everyone loved this film. I've never cared for this either. And I love musicals -- but this just doesn't do anything for me. Perhaps it's the story -- I've never seen the earlier Lilioms (with Charles Farrell and Charles Boyer, the latter directed by Fritz Lang). lol what? Who the hell has even seen this, much less loves it

It's not a bad sword and sandal actioner. I haven't seen it in ages, but as I recall its big flaw was a dull romance that stopped the story dead every few minutes. Doesn't it have a scene where you can briefly see Tony Curtis' hairpiece come off?

and innumerable other message boards. Free Republic, Democratic Underground, Bodybuilding.com (over 5 million threads) are asking for is the option to switch to the chronological order format used by IMDb, There is already a button that will take you to the first post you have not read. All we talking about. I know I will feel like a fool for admitting this, but the fact is I have no idea what you are

I don't know what country you're in, but here in America we read top-to-bottom.

Are you Jennifer Love Hewitt?

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.

The Arrow is not there for threads with under 5 pages Since they have an arrow that changes the post order on a thread, can they not give you the option to have the post order changed throughout the board, and let this be your default setting?

I recently read up a bit on LE and actually was considering starting a thread about the bookstore, which I know only by rep (I've never been to California). I once read in some book about '30s Hollywood that Edmunds got started selling books out of his car trunk to screenwriters at Hollywood studios, who could not find modern novelists like Faulkner, Joyce, and Kafka at L.A. bookstores. But I have not been able to confirm that online.
