I thought Margaret Lindsay had a great voice, very attractive, sophisticated...self-assured woman (no wallflower or shrinking violet, she). I wouldn't lump her with the stiff and boring Herbert Marshall.Yeech! I wonder why she didn't make it big though she did work a lot and was a staple of many films of the 30's. She had a good solid presence. She seemed to be supporting actress (NOT that anything's wrong with that). I thought she looked great in the 40's in "Crime Doctor." Sexy.

Yeah...check out the thread where folks are talking about avant garde and experimental films. You'll see a whole slew of folks mentioning this Bunuel film.

Hmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm. I'm humming the theme to "One Step Beyond." And it was a beautiful eerie sort of thing. Yes I totally remember it. You're soooo right about Alexis and that upswept hairdo. The studio probably thought that the 'do gave her an air of sophistication and age. She was born in 1921 and was in her twenties in the 1940's. Gorgeous girl. Just saw "Crime Doctor" and there was the ubiquitous Margaret Lindsay. Her hair was in that 40's bob. So becoming and a great speaking voice too. Why didn't SHE become big?

And Victoria would know...they appeared in "Earthquake" together. Thanxx for the shots and the quotes. Being that close to beauty, I don't know how anyone could survive.

"One Step Beyond" was a tv show like "The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits." In fact I want to correct an error I made (just recently checked my facts on imdb). The tv show that Barbara Rush & Vera Miles appeared in as sisters WAS "The Outer Limits." And the episode wasn't really like "The Time Machine" where McCallum traveled...he had a clock in a closet with strings that if one entered, they would disappear in time. Barbara & Vera kill a bad guy who had some type of hold over them. Please check imdb. under Barbara Rush. This was a great episode.

Otto was not a warm and fuzzy guy, was he? I believe dictator, martinet, torturer and S.O.B. more appropriately describe Herr Preminger. But there are a couple of his films I do enjoy. "Anatomy of a Murder" " Advise and Consent" "Bonjour Tristesse" "Daisy Kenyon" "Fallen Angel" and "Carmen Jones." (Poor Dandridge). I don't think I'd want to be a fly on the wall of THAT set.

I have to go with "Send Me No Flowers." The big house in suburbia, the comfort of marriage and commitment and familiarity, the mistaken identity (of x-rays), belonging to a country club. Never wanted the chi-chi Eurotrash way of life. I opted for cocktails, country clubs and the comfort of commitment. Not the sexy sparks of "Pillow Talk" or "Lover Come Back" but ohhhhhh so wonderful. (Clint Walker was a hunk, wasn't he??) Love their whole trilogy of films.

Mary Stuart Masterson. Margaret Lindsay or Gale Page.

To quote one of our illustrious posters...consarnit if you're not right about the number 88103. I videotaped "Crime Doctor" becuz I'm a big Margaret Lindsay fan, and all of a sudden in a scene where she comes in to meet Warner Baxter and he asks her to sit down, that number flashed across the screen. The Russians are coming...the Russians ARE coming!!!!

I would say that Elizabeth Taylor's beauty was so mesmerizing that you were absolutely compelled to watch her on the screen...but it's so easy to pick a pretty face. I just saw "The Letter" and I have to say Bette Davis had THE ultimate screen presence. (Sorry Greer, Hedy, Gene, Garbo). To quote you Frank: My choice is Bette Davis. No other performer has captivated me as much as Davis has. Every time she is on the screen, my eyes go to her. It's not her beauty that draws me in, it's her commanding "presence." She could play most any kind of role and in most any kind of film when given the chance. She could be soft or hard, tender or brash, funny or serious, strong or weak. One of the most important aspects of Bette's great career was her ability to stand toe-to-toe with the toughest guys around, and you believed she could do it, too. Yeah, Bette was all woman... and then some. Frank... ;-) I'm sorry. I HAD TO use your words. Your writing is wonderful. But don't worry, I'll use my own voice when I talk about experiencing "The Letter" which was on the other night.

"can you believe Eleanor Parker was in that crap?" "Madison Avenue" with Dana & Crain??

LOVE "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante."

Arturo...I think I'll take my Jeanne in the 40's. I thought she looked especially lovely in "A Letter to Three Wives." 40's 50's 60's 70's ("Hijack") I love Jeanne Crain. So sad about her death.

HA!!! "DALLAS"??? Awigawd. I forgot about her on that. Barbara Rush will probably never be interviewed. Probably not conisdered a big enuf star. But I've always enjoyed her. Did you ever see "One Step Beyond" where Barbara Rush and Vera Miles played sisters and David McCallum was a scientist and Cedric Hardwicke was his blind manservant. McCallum was mucking about with time. Does this plot sound familiar?

Jarhfive, I'm trying to figure out if that's a compliment or a slam against Margaret Lindsay. I'm a big fan...and you're darn lucky to catch her films. I wish I had. Look into the thread about great voices and you'll see Margaret's name splattered in there. She was great. What're your thoughts. Hey Jar...this Wednesday at 7:00am you'll find "Crime Doctor" [1943] starring Warner Baxter, John Litel and, you guessed it...Margaret Lindsay. She was also in "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" in a small as a hostess. Oh yeah...and what's the matter with Andy Hardy, uh...Mickey Rooney, Ken?

Couldn't access the picture. But I bet it's a pip!

Oh...i'm back. i thought i had died and gone to heaven after looking at the below picture. geeeeeeeeeeez! you're killing us MsGoddess.

AMC...Ooops! I meant the AMC Theatre on 42nd & 8th Avenue. "Bella" is a small quiet film (no big Lumet non-linear tragedy) starring a wonderful actress named Tammy Blanchard and Mexican soap star Eduardo Verastegui (spelling?) A small quiet intimate wonderful story that I would highly recommend. Catch it if you can. Again, it's no big blockbuster...but a good solid human interest story. (You can imdb Tammy Blanchard. She's a wonderful actress; played Judy Garland as a girl in the recent tv-movie starring Judy Davis). AMC the tv channel is ca-ca-poo-poo!! I haven't watched it in years. Did you see "The Letter" last night?

Who's in "The Begotten"?? I like being unsettled.

Thistle...thanxxx for letting me know I haven't missed the interview. Randy...thank you for the name of both those films, of which I've seen them both. (Did you ever see the movie version of Jacqueline Susann's "Once Is Not Enough"? She has a love scene with Melina Mercouri that...) Oh my my my she IS a tall drink of water, isn't she. Let me know what you think of "The Young Philadelphians." I'm a big Barbara Rush fan. And as for Paul Newman....don't get me started. (Here's a hint: he's a dreamboat!)

"Love That Bronxgirl." Will it be on Showtime, Cinemax or HBO???

"Hi Theresa! That really is remarkable that you've even seen The Tamarind Seed. It's so rare that I find anyone who has and is a fan. It's one of my favorite love stories, beleive it or not. Who would have thought Omar Shariff and Julie Andrews would make a great couple. The music is just sheer bliss. I have the cd soundtrack, as well as the Region 2 dvd." -------------------------------------------------- Well I like it too. I saw it when it came out in NYC's Radio City Music Hall. I thought Omar & Julie had great chemistry (who'd thunk that Mary Poppins could hang with a handsome swarthy SEXY devil like Omar). Wasn't that a John Barry score? (His scores are great!) My favorite movie song would have to be "Send Me No Flowers."

I liked "The Walking Dead" too. Also, "The Devil Commands" "The Mummy" and "The Black Cat" (cuz his black smoking jacket was to DIE for. Karloff was scary and could portray pathos as well. He had a great voice and was darkly handsome. All hail KARLOFF!!

Nicki (and CineMaven), I am 100% in agreement about "A Trip to the Moon." CineMaven never said anything about that movie.. -----------------New Message--------------------- Hi Metropolis, I think Chip was trying to let Nick (and ME) know that he was in agreement that "A Trip to the Moon" was a fun film to watch. Thanx! ;-) Now for "THE LETTER" (1940) on TCM in a few minutes. Aaaaah, Gale Sondergaard steals scenes from Bette without speaking a word of English. And Bette gave a great understated performance (I think). As for the below foto...wouldn't Visine be a better solution?

I'm hoping that someone can speak to Van Johnson or received a message from him. He certainly was a 1940's icon. No doubt. Does anyone know if Estther Williams has reached out to him? I wish him well.
