Howdy, Coopsy's Clarita! -- WOW!!! It's definitely getting hot in here. Like April I love that one, but for all the wrong reasons.
Or all the right reasons.
See, it is possible for me to behave.The movie does drag but the scenes with Gary and Ingrid are great and also the character of Pilar is good too. It could have been just those three and it would have been really good.
I just watched a "Pilar" scene and I'm already digging her. She was very philosophical in the scene, which is completely my speed.
Ciao, Mrs. Jordan -- Oh, those are the BEST yet!! I already plan to use one of them for my new "wallpaper". Just stunning.
I know that line applies to me, definitely!
What, "just stunning"? Ohhh, the "tongue like a bull whip" line. That applies, too.
I wish I knew which Coop scenes to post without spoiling the end, but like I said, I'm flyin' blind.
-
Those are even better!
I'm sure I speak for all the ladies here that you've made up for a lot with these images, Mr Grimes.
I usually have a few tricks up my sleeve.
P.S. I actually think of Coop's two Hemingway pictures, you would like A Farewell to Arms better, because of Borzage's beautiful compositions.
Kim and Angie have both told me that they believe I'd like A Farewell to Arms. I did tape it off TCM, so I have access to it.
I think the following lines apply to quite a few ladies on this board, particularly on this thread:

Now there's no way I could take shots at Coop and not produce some sugar. That wouldn't be right.
Well blow me down, you bought For Whom the Bell Tolls? I am surprised.
I even passed on a Grace Kelly film.
Have you watched it yet?
I just got it today! But, then again, I could have got it six months ago and my answer would be the same.
I love that movie---for all the wrong reasons. I mean I love the performances of all the actors, but it's just Robert Jordan I adore, he's one of my favorite screen characters. I just wish the movie were better, or "tighter". It doesn't have much pace so be warned.
Thanks for the warning, girl. The film could be an interesting challenge for me.
The scenes between Coop and Ingrid are very warm---and apparently real.
The two scenes I have seen are very cute.
THANK YOU for the caps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally I have some color images of this movie!
You're welcome. If I watch the film, I could then post images that matter. As it stands right now, I'm flying blind.

Hi, Jackie F! -- Why thank you sir. Flattery will get you everywhere.....
Until I mess something else up.
Here's my favorite picture of Grace....hope you like it!
I do like it! I like seeing "angry" Grace.
Good Evening, Miss Demanding! -- Hmmmm....I see your timing is still creative. It's now "7-ish".
I actually may have a suprise for you tomorrow. My local Borders says a DVD is in-stock, and if it's there, I'll probably buy it and post a cap or two from it. It all depends on how accurate the on-line inventory dealy is at Borders. It's usually pretty accurate. -- Me on your "Noir Gallery" thread yesterday.
A couple of examples of why I turn into a pretty sick puppy whenever I watch For Whom the Bell Tolls .... (I wish I had color pictures) -- Miss Impatient
-
You mean that I haven't smudged out Grace and replaced with my pictures? Hmmmm....just one left like that:
How could you EVER be a Grace? Ohhh wait, you're pretty darn icy. I take it back. A deal is a deal. I'll post some kindness later on. No, I'm not talking goopy hours, either. The 6-ish range.
-
Oh here we go now with the not-so-gentle hints. So WHY must I be kind? And how so?
There's no way I could be cruel without having some "kind" in stock.
Is this your way of asking for more pictures of shirtless Gary? I can be very kind that way.
That doesn't sound too kind to me.
I guess I'll just wait here 'till you are ready to 'splain yourself.
Awwwwwww. Now that's kind. Do you have any other "High Noon" Grace pic to post? If you do, I'll be kind.
-
Please, PLEASE do!!!!
Ohh, so you would actually trust me? Big mistake. By the way, I suggest you be very
kind to me right now.
-
I believe you when you say you don't know about manly virtue.
I hate it when I leave the door open like that.
Wait a minute! What world is full of Gary Coopers? I want to go THERE!
Keep it up and I'll send you there.
-
Clearly, you're the only one who has a problem with it .
By the way, I just posted some of Coop's pics in the "cross-dressing" thread. Y'all shouldcheck them out.
Manny Ramirez and Hack Wilson, eh?
-
Manly virtue? Huh? I don't know about that. I've seen too many "dolled up" Coop photos.
Strongly charismatic? When?

Hi, ButterscotchGreer -- Did Jackie let you in despite your age? I'll have to
talk to her about that.
wow! frankiefurter! thank you so much for those picnic pics! i came across the
impression that you thought Random Harvest was so-so.
Random Harvest is so-so and Gone with the Wind is horrid.
well i love the Random Harvest picnic scene anywho. you are such a darlin'!
Thanks, darlin'! I can behave sometimes. Ummm, once in a great while.
it isnt every day that i get pics from both of my fav actors having a picnic. now
if only greer and gary had a picnic together in a movie, i would be in sheer heaven.
banana oil! heehee! ...and then i have that handsome mr. peck over there, but he
belongs with mary rafferty, not with ingrid bergman.
You didn't mention Grace! I guess it's just a given that she's your favorite actress.
a floozy? oh now we're floozies....spoken like a true Grumpy. heehee!
You're not a floozy. You're too sweet to be a floozy. No, there's only one floozy
around these parts.
Hola, Whistling Gypsy -- Excellent photos. They were, how you say, succulent?
So why is it that Jackie F considers you a "sweetheart"?
Hiya, Jackie F -- Way to get your thread off the ground! I really enjoy reading your comments. You're quite fascinating.
I really liked the Stranger than Fiction cap. That bakery is well-worth visiting.
who refuses to be seduced by the sweet confections, which you KNOW would
help him warm up and ease his rigid soul....
There are some people on this board who could use some of those sweet
confections. Hey! Don't you dare look my way!
Bonjour, Miss Champoo -- As for the really, truly meanest man around,
FrankGrimes,
From you, that's a glowing review.
By the way, I was once told by a gypsy that "love before breakfast" was good for
digestion.
Have you ever noticed how Scarlett winces when she drinks the Brandy in the
earlier scenes, but by the time of the night scene at the Atlanta mansion she's
learned to swing one back with more ease? lol According to the book, by then
she was steadily drinking every night, "on the quiet," as Rhett observed.
So did you start this way or were you always a "loud" drinker, Holly GoLoudly?
Never argue with a woman holding a knife.
Shouldn't that read, "never argue with a woman"?
Infamous last words. Did a man ever have more heck to pay for just two little words?
Men have paid greater prices for not saying a word at all.
I also find Maureen O'Sullavan's brother, "Gilbert," hysterically creepy with his weird fascination with psychology and murder (sounds like Frank).
So is that a good "hysterically" or a bad "hysterically"? I'm sure you meant "sweet"
instead of "creepy" and "charming" instead of "weird." By the way, may I interest
you in a sandwich and milk?
-
Okay, now you've aroused my curiosity...who?
You don't remember your Irish buddy? You two constantly fooled around
in the middle night. And I know Johanna misses you.
Thank you for the "sweet dreams." That was sweet of you.
Que duermas bien.
-
That's so very sweet of you to say FG.
I only speak the truth, CB.
I knew that you've gotten along just fine without the latin spice ! Ha!
Yes, but I'm very greedy. Latin spice has a nice kick to it.
You know who else misses you around here, don't you?
-
I suppose that my absence answers that question
Uh-huh.
I see that things are the same around here and that's good.
If you say so, CB. You've been missed, though. The night shift hasn't been the same.
-
I'm faking it.
Are you still busy at school? -
Hola, extra?o! D?nde has estado?

Hi, Disquisitive Di -- **** musings, eh? That doesn't sound like you.
Does this happen in other films or do they show bogus titles on the marquee?
The first film that I thought of when you mentioned this was The Last Picture Show and, yes, Peter Bogdanovich chose a couple of the films playing at the Royal (The Father of the Bride and Red River) for good reason.
I haven't bought the Daisy Kenyon DVD yet, so I have no idea what the meaning would be behind Mr. Lucky and The Woman in the Window being listed on the marquee. This Lang fan is curious to know, that's for sure.
Does anyone know what film is playing on the television and what film it's from in the following cap?:
-
Hey, Gery! -- I really liked the Ida Lupino and Hedy Lamarr productions you
posted. Those were terrific. I liked seeing the different looks for Hedy.
Hi, ButterscotchGREER -- You can put me down as a fan of Greer in the
polka dot dress. She looks lovely in that pic. Can you make a dress like that?
I loved seeing Helen Mirren! She's very pretty in those caps. And Ken is right, she
has sexy legs. I could have done without her friend, though.
-
You've mentioned a lot of great characters I missed and Dr. Mabuse looks intriguing. I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen the film yet.
I love Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse character. I think you'd like the character. Lang made three films about Mabuse and all three films reside in my Lang top ten. The Testament of Dr. Mabuse is my favorite of the three.
Frankie, I could just hug you for adding a screen cap of Gwynplaine. Thanks!
You're welcome! But do you think it's wise for a wolf to accept a hug from a cephalopod? I'll take my chances.
-
Wasn't I always polite and ask please and say thank-you for the tender mercies that you bequeathed with your screen caps?
I know a couple of the gals ran roughshod over you but I tried not to.
Guess I'll go back to be older than dirt and eat some worms.
See, Kyle, this is how it's done. Just when a guy's to get tough, he's confronted with sad eyes. I'm such a pushover.
By the way, Lynn, would a Ford woman really turn sad? Something tells me they'd give it back just as hard as they'd get it... at first.
-
Hi, ButterscotchGRACE -- You seem to enjoy smacking me around more and
more. I wonder who taught you this bad "finishing school" habit? Hmmmm.
She did not! She didn't know how to tell the Scott family dinner was served.
that falls under her personality category of shyness and innocence though, that
doesnt count. heehee!
There's always an excuse with you.
Why couldn't they? He was madly in love with her. Don't you think Paul was man
enough to handle the circumstances that come with marrying the family maid?
it wasnt a matter of if HE could handle it. it was a matter of gossip and pride, and what
other people would think of the situation. yes paul was MUCH man enough to handle
any of it, but then again he wasnt thinking of what other people would think of that. he
was only thinking aobut them and forgetting about the rest of the world.
Paul could have handled the gossip, but Mary didn't believe in him. She thought he
was a weak man. Why did Mary have to think so little of Paul? Why did she insist
on breaking his heart?
She wasn't a witch! Sweet Louise was in love with Paul until Mary came along and
stole him from her. And who does Paul end up marrying? Louise. She was willing to
love him. She didn't abandon him. She stuck with him.
louise wasnt in love with paul. she only wanted him for his money, and his looks
drew the rest of her mind into it. her greediness was clouding her mind rather than
wanting to love him for him and what he did with his family's mill. she didnt care about
his wants and needs, she only cared about herself.
Louise was a total sweetheart. Didn't you see how she talked so lovingly to Paul at
the end of the film? You could tell she loved him dearly. All Mary cared about was
herself. She never took into consideration Paul's heart. She broke his heart on
purpose. How cruel! Thank goodness for sweet Louise.
But he wasn't. He's Paul and Louise's son.
yeah but did you see the way louise pushed him aside when she wanted something?
the poor baby! mary immidiately became freinds with little paulie because she was
friendly and sweet. if louise hadnt have married paul and she came across little paulie
ten years later, she wouldnt have treated him as nicely as mary did. heehee!
Louise just believed in tough love, that's all. She wanted the best for her son. If Mary
was Paul's son, she probably would have put an ocean between them and let someone
else raise him.
you just hurt april's feelings?
Who? She probably doesn't have any feelings to hurt anyways.
thats because you trampled on the rest of her poor feelings. poor april. now go give her
a hug for saying that.
A hug? Hmmmmmm. I bet I know how someone would answer that one. Ha!
Garson, Cooper, Young, and Colman films are pretty darn trashy. Lots of sappy stuff.
wow! frankiefurter, you are really pushing it. i think you DO take pride in doing this.
im not questioning this anymore. i know better. heehee! sappy stuff is always the
best way to go.....april would agree with me.
I have no idea who this April is you keep referring to. And if she actually agrees with
you on sappy stuff always being the way to go, she's got the same trashy taste as
you do.
Well, yes, I really liked that Mary was very shy at first, but she should have dropped
all that shyness later on. She needed to accept Paul's love, not push it away. Poor,
poor Paul.
she did accept it, but if she had actually shown her love for him than he would have
still greater determination to marry her. paula's mother also understood this, that is
why she suggested that mary go with connie on her honeymoon to take care of them.
Paul's mother was a meddler who helped squash Paul's loving heart. You saw how
happy and in love Paul was. Can't a man be happy and in love? I guess not. Why
must you women always look to hurt us men? Why?
I have to test (or is it tease) you on your favorite films. Are you sure you really want
me to watch your films?
oh is that why? i was beginning to wonder myself. heehee! i love spreading around the
best movies to watch with other people....
So when are you going to send a "best movie" my way? Don't you dare tell me
Pride and Prejudice, either.
even if the person i am trying to share them with is obssessed with noir movies who
scare people out of their wits. heehee!
Ohhh, here's the best movies you speak of. I think you need to watch them more.
Bonjour, Mrs. Stoddard (
) -- What kind of man would have the nerve to makea girl angry, laugh, and cry all in a matter of a moment?
I can't fathom how Louise could be married to Paul (in Valley of Decision) and not
be crazy for him...she must have been frigid. Hmmm....isn't there a slight resemblence
between Louise and a certain Quaker bride? Now I see why Mr Grimes is on her side
so much....
When I saw the word "frigid", I thought you were going to say "a certain Manhattan
blonde." But I guess that's a whole 'nother level of frigidity.
Well, after the way they've been trampled upon last night I'm surprised I have any
left!
Left? You didn't have any to begin with, Fridgy. By the way, can a floozy be frigid?
Maybe if she's a living contradiction.
Roasted "frankiefurters" on the menu for tonight?
Uh-huh. I bet you'll have sauerkraut on yours, Sour Kraut.
And look who's criticizing about "trashiness" ---- I never saw so much from you as
I read in this thread lately. Trashing poor Theresa's favorites (I wouldn't expect anything
less regarding my own) and driving poor Lynn and JackieF out to Monument Valley.
I'm going to join the other Mrs. Doniphon now....
And guess who the first person Lynn called out for at Monument Valley? Sound
familiar, Hallie? I guess I better head on home:

I can't believe you let these women run you around like this.
DisGRACEful.
Amen.
Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna tell those women how it's going to be. It's about time I take charge. I'm sure they will immediately see it my way. I just know it.
-
What's up, Jeff! -- Didn't have you figured as a hymn singin' man, Scot. heh heh
Don't tell me you're gonna take shots at me, too. Theresa treated me terribly today. At least I could find some refuge in your pre-code gallery. Ahhhhhhhhh! Very soothing.Hi, Ray Milland Lover! -- Grace Kelly, Gene Tierney, AND Ava Gardner? I like your style! I also like Dana Andrews a lot.
-
If not *Harvey you could watch Obsession or The Searchers and still be in my good graces.
See, Kyle. A guy needs to be extra careful when it comes to women and their "good GRACEs."
It will be Harvey AND The Searchers, Lynn. I don't have access to Obsession right now. And if I'm to buy a certain box set, I will be able to watch another one of your faves.
By the way, Kyle, have you spent your magical $200 yet?
See, it is possible for me to behave.

Scarlett called Frank Kennedy an "old maid in britches", lol!
It IS the best screen kiss in movies, there's not another to top it.
What about all those Gloria Grahame "tissue" kisses? They are pretty darn good.
I think it's funny that Rhett would tell Scarlett he loved her, then contradict himself later on and declare "heaven help the man who ever really loves you". He didn't know his own mind either.
I disagree. He knew what he was saying and he knew his own feelings. He DOES love Scarlett, so he's basically saying, "heaven help him." He's a frustrated man because what he loves about Scarlett is also what he hates about her. Scarlett's also a moving a target. Her emotional states are impossible to predict and this is bound to frustrate any man, especially a man who is used to having his way with women.
