  1. Before I get beaten to a pulp in a tag-team brawl with Triple H & Ava, let me get back to the thread at hand. If you're naming Marc Lawrence, SCSU (was I the only one who recognized him in "The Man With the Golden Gun" playing, wait for it...a gangster?) then I'm going to name Joseph Sawyer.

     

    Totally off-topic: you haven't lived until you see John Hodiak...mustache and all play an indian in "Cross The Wide Missouri." YIKES!

  2. BSG: I agree with you about Henie with Tyrone Power. Soooooo attractive.

     

    And didn't "Sun Valley Serenade" have the fantastic Nicholas Brothers trying to catch the Chattanooga Choo-Choo (AND Dorothy Dandridge too?)

     

    I enjoyed Henie's films many years ago. Haven't seen any from beginning to end in eons.

  3. Coopsgirl, I watched your video...and then spent the next half hour going through some other Stanwyck tributes. Nice job there. Nice job!

     

    Can you tell, briefly, how you put that together. Clips from DVD's? VHS? Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro to edit and the music?? Run through your process a little or PM about your process. Thank you.

     

    BTW, there was another Missy Tribute (I believe it was scored to the song "You're Beautiful") that just about broke my heart. So young...so talented...so energetic...so pretty. Hey, I think I just answered the thread's initial question.

  4. Well well well Molo. You have blown me away with your description and analysis of Grahame in "Odds Against Tomorrow." It made for a great great read. More please.

     

    "I wanted to reach out to this Gloria, to this lonely little person standing in the doorway with that gleam in her eye. Was it a neglected woman's lust in that gleam? Was it simply nothing more than hope??"

     

    Molo...you're gonna have a helluva fight with Frank for Gloria. She's his girl. I don't know if he's willing to share. Hmmm...kind of a Jules and Jim thing you two can arrange. But I don't think Frank'll give her up so easily. Don't reach out for Gloria just yet.

  5. Today is the day to skip TCM (for me) doing all the rock 'n roll stuff.

     

    Hey...if Frieda Inescort wants to use the shoe ploy, it's okay by me. (Just a shame she gave up one of women's little secrets. Shoe fly, don't bother me!)

  6. "WHEN THE HELL WILL THEY HONOR DORIS DAY WITH AN HONORARY ACADEMY AWARD?THEM DAD-BLASTED CONSARNIT IDIOTS!!!!"

     

    And I would have to agree with him. I was just reading the excerpt from Vanity Fair about Doris Day, cited by a poster on the Doris Day thread...and it truly makes me appreciate her talent more and more. I love James Garner saying he'd rather work with Doris than Elizabeth Taylor. What do they wanna do? Wait for a posthumous tribute? Look at Widmark. Gone. Forever.

     

    I say give the video tribute and the honorary Academy Award to Ms. Day whether she shows up or not to the ceremony. I just want her tremendous career acknowledged in this arena. If the Academy doesn't do it, (quoting Mickey Rooney in "The Human Comedy"), I'll spit at the world. I'll hate it forever!

  7. Finally a good question. I'm going to go with Timothy Carey and Eduardo Cianelli. (I'll throw in a mug: Elisha Cook, Jr.). The rest of you had named some very good actors.

     

    Oh yeah...we girls LOVE the bad boys!! Charles McGraw could smack me around anytime! Oops...the train's about to go into the tunnel.

  8. Hi there Diana:"Somehow it doesn't seem right to lump Bette Davis in with that crew, at least for that particular film. Don't forget -- Bette received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, something that can't be said for the others."

     

    Of course, you are sooooo right. And I agree Bette shouldn't have been lumped in that category. I was just trying to make a point and I was clutching at straws. (My apologies Bette!)

     

    Hey Milland...I don't think anyone's saying they dislike Ray Milland. Just remarking on the stinkers he made late in his life to pay the bills. Some of his films are guilty pleasures for some board members here.
