I had seen Blackboard Jungle and was intrigued by Vic Morrow. He played a very good part in this film. I looked him up and found he played in a show from the '60's called Combat. I saw the reviews were good and wound up buying the box set. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this t.v. show was and Morrow was excellent.
Has anyone seen any other good films with Vic Morrow. Not many people speak of him and I doubt he had any "leading" roles, but it's too bad his film career wasn't developed more.

That's a nice photo of the Minellis
That photo with Kazan, Brando, Harris and Dean is great....I've seen it before.
James Dean idolized Marlon Brando and Brando was the biggest star at that time.
Kazan also directed Brando in Viva Zapata and Waterfront and he always raved
about Brando and thought he was the better actor. You can see how hurt Dean
is that Kazan is putting his arm on Brando's shoulder and Harris is looking only
at Brando....

I don't know about Swanson, but I knew this photo was Lucille Ball cause I have her biographies and the photo is in them, and I've seen that photo before, so I knew right away who it was.
-
Brando was good looking way back when. I love the Godfather film, but who pays $61 for this? I looked for it on sale for about $10.00
-
How cute - is it Lucille Ball?
-
What a great thread. I just love it.
Yes, Barbra Streisand is awful looking. James Brolin must be scared when he wakes up and see that next to him. Didn't Obama say something about "lipstick on a pig"???
I know there are lots of Streisand fans, and I love listening to her music - but I hope I can sleep after looking at her in that photo. Perhaps someone can post a better photo of her - I mean that has to be the worst photo I've ever seen.

There are so many Brando scenes I like - namely the taxi cab scene in WATERFONT and also the scene where he kisses Eva Marie Saint - sigh.
I also like the scene where he makes his entrance in STREETCAR and the scene where he "clears the table".
His "friends, Romans, countrymen" speech in Julius Caesar was great.
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" in the Godfather - one of the most memorable lines in film history.
-
I see TCM is showing ON THE WATERFRONT now.
I'd like to open this thread for discussion on this classic film.
What are your favorite parts of the film?
Do you like this film?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
-
I have this book - Songs My Mother Taught Me - the Brando autobiography - and it was one of the best books I've ever read.
Look at how gorgeously handsome Brando's face/profile was on the cover - ubelievably good-looking man.
Speaking of Missouri Breaks - I also wish they showed another western with Brando called "ONE-EYED JACKS".
-
Thank you Miss Musical for posting that photo with baby Mr. Morrow. I think he looked like a cute baby, but always has that very intense, serious look and the mouth and pouting lips were the same as when he was older. Who is June Peppas? Was that his mother?
-
Brando and Magnani did not get along, and she tried to seduce him off-set and in a book I read, he said she started kissing him and biting his lip and the only way he could get her to release her grip was to squeeze her nose as hard as he could like a lemon - and then he ran away. That's the only thing I think of when I watch THE FUGITIVE KIND.
-
Nice thread. I don't know how to post photos, but I always thought Barbra Streisand resembled Miss Piggy from the Muppets. I also thought the following looked alike:
Brad Pitt and James Dean
James Coburn and Lee Marvin
Charles Bronson and Yankee player Johnny Damon
Paul Newman and Marlon Brando (in the 1950's)
George Clooney and Larry King
Julia Roberts and Olive Oyl
Merryl Streep and Ingrid Bergman
Katherine Hepburn and figure skater Nancy Kerrigan

I love ON THE WATERFRONT. I think Brando was terrific, but I also think Lee J. Cobb should have gotten "supporting actor" for his role as Mr. Friendly.
I could never figure out why Eva Marie Saint didn't leave the door unlocked so Brando can come in.....I would have left the door opened and waited for him to make his entrance. She hit him once with her brush, but it didn't take long for him to work his magic on her.
-
I like Brando too. Tango wasn't one of my favorite films of his, I thought it was vile and crude, and I can't eat butter the same way anymore.
I prefer Brando in Waterfront, Streetcar and a little-known western One-Eyed Jacks.

Gable is handsome, but I would say that I think Marlon Brando, Paul Newman and William Holden are much more dreamier.
Vivien deserved that Oscar - she said she couldn't stand Gable's breath and still gave such an outstanding performance.
-
In Gone with the Wind, Vivien is always trying to push Clarke away every time he tries to kiss her. She looks like she's holding her breath and can't wait till the kissing scene is done. I read that she couldn't stand his breath and after that, it was hard for me to watch Gone with the Wind. But I do think Gable was quite handsome - from a distance
-
McCain has to be laughing at the Democrats - they are fighting each other instead of fighting McCain.
-
I just think the guy is too old to be elected President. He's in his 70's - imagine if he gets elected for a 2nd term..he'd be close to 80.....
I don't want to have a political debate...but NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN can be an excellent cartoon strip for McCain. Obama can use it in his campaign too!
-
I would like to see No Country for Old Men - I heard it was a good movie. Maybe they can also use this slogan for John McCain?
-
I love the photo of Vivien and Marlon - they were both gorgeous to look at.
Vivien Leigh couldn't stand the way Clarke Gable's breath smelled cause he wore false teeth and she had to hold her breath and pull away from him every time he had to kiss her in a scene. I always hold my nose too cause I can see how Viv was cringing and pulling back.
-
all of them...I don't like remakes - nothing tops the original film.
-
He would have been 100 yrs. old? One of my favorite actors.
-
one of the most beautiful actresses. Please post a photo of Vivien and Marlon in Streetcar Named Desire - they both were gorgeous looking people.
-
I would say Crash was the worst film to win a Best Picture award.
Chariots of Fire, Shakespeare in Love and Million Dollar Baby are also high on my list of duds.
Lookalikes?
