Miss Betty....more more more writing please. Wonderful.
Miss Goddess...your list is great. Romance personified.
"So you go for the 'tortured' romance films too, eh?
Frank... re: "Vertigo" it ain't love if it doesn't hurt, does it?

Butter...Butter...Butter...That was the great Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore who was in "Portrait of Jennie." Those pictures below of Gish are beautiful though!
-
Hi Metsfan...I have seen "The Rainmaker" but it's been years.
Jack...I didn't even know Sheba left.
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh THAT Valentine. I thought you were talking about Karen Valentine ("Room 222").
-
I believe the lovely Lizabeth Scott was in that film. I LOVED"Three On a Couch."
-
Yo Hollywood, what are you smoking in that pipe? Dream on...let's party!!!
I'm a native Noo Yawker...but L.A. seems the logical place for this convention. I'm so there!!!
-
No Falcon...I didn't know that. Thanx! Funny, finally Karloff gets to be in "Arsenic & Old Lace." He was supposed to be in the film, I understand.

I won't make fun of you becuz you like b&w films, I won't make fun of you becuz you like disco music...but I will make fun of you if you're not realizing that Paul Newman starred in "The Young Philadelphians" and Hepburn, Grant & Stewart were in "The Philadelphia Story."
A lot of folks are complaining about TCM's Oscar fare but I say watch what you want to see and don't watch what you don't want to see. No use complaining... these movies are already programmed. I've been enjoying what I want to see.
Welcome to the boards Trissy.

The Glenn Ford role in "Gilda" for being THIS close to Rita Hayworth at the zenith of her sexiness. I'd probably faint.
-
You are so right about the under-rated Ann Harding. I believe one of her lines to William Powell in "Double Harness" was: "Go on, lie to me. I want to believe you."
What a husky voiced vixen she was...
-
I loved Tony Randall when he appeared in the trilogy of films Doris Day and Rock Hudson made.
-
Frank I must say the shots you supplied of Louise Brooks are stunning. You know, it's funny but she has quite a contemporary look for pictures that are about seventy years old.
-
Coop is that Gary in the buff by the water??? AWMIGAWD!!
-
I guess I'm thinking about him in "Camille." My God he was sooooo beautiful. But he is older in the 40's. Man, how did Stanwyck cope with the looks of Taylor.
Also, looking at Lancaster & Kate below I've never seen Kate look so ravishing... and ravished (and Burt's fingers through her hair is very sexy).

Hey hey Frankie G. Listen, why don't you try your hand in the Films and Filmmakers thread about writing a movie. Jump in there before it gets too ridiculous.

JIM
"Nope. I only look like him. That Horatio guy is rich. Me, I'm just plain ordinary Jim Doherty."
CASSANDRA
"And the dinner jacket?"
JIM
"A party at my boss' house. I banged up my leg on a couch. It hurts like the dickens but I can still help you with that piano."
CASSANDRA
"I'll take that help."
She gives him the once over as he drags the piano to the back of his truck. Though limping, his stride is long and assured. She imagines his muscles straining underneath his dinner jacket. His black tie lies loose around his thick neck.
CASSANDRA
"Your accent, Jim. You're not from around here are you?"
With the piano in the truck, he helps her climb into the passenger seat.
JIM
"No...no I'm not."
Jim puts the truck in gear and slowly drives down the dirt road.

Never really accepted Robert Taylor's mustache.

Miss Betty:
CineMaven, don't deny yourself the pleasure of this lovely jem. Trust me, the costumes won't get you into trouble. Oleg Cassini only enhanced Miss Gene's beauty, if possible with his choice of wordrobe. And HUUUGEE thanks for the ''Shanghai Gesture''. Now if the wait won't kill me first.
Okay...you've won me over. I'll do "...Mrs. Muir." Now hurry and rent, Netflix or buy "Shanghai Gesture" and get a load of Victor Mature, Ona Munson and Walter Huston.
Frank Grimes:
Ohh, for goodness sake. Do you think I like costume dramas? It's Gene! She's lovely in the film, too.
Hey Frank...you're right. Gene could be dressed in sack cloths. She'd be lovely.
Now MY favorite romance movie is: V E R T I G O

Cassandra is brought out of her reverie by a honking car horn. She turns around to see a handsome man lean out of his car window.
"Excuse me Miss. I've been trying to get your attention for the last half a mile. Could you use a hand with that piano. I have plenty of room in the back of my truck."
Cassandra realizes her thoughts of Horatio, her sister and that fateful night took her to another place. His smile, tan and toussled hair brings her back to reality.
"Oh...uh...actually I could use the help. I'm just another mile and a half off this road."
The man gets out of his truck and walks toward her...

"CARVE HER NAME WITH PRIDE (Virginia McKenna as famous WW2 intelligence operative)"
Funny to see her name. I just saw "Sliding Doors" starring Gwyneth Paltrow and there was a shot of an older woman playing one of the character's mother. It looked like Virginia McKenna. When I read the end credits, it was indeed...Virginia McKenna. She has aged...but it was recognizably her, and she was still beautiful.
