I saw him in a play in NY years ago ("Butley"). Didn't notice the colour; just that he was GORGEOUS.
I've read that Oliver Reed had the coldest eyes in motion pictures.

Do you remember when Ricky pretended there was a fire in the house and Lucy was in the bedroom all bandaged out. She threw her henna out the window and tied herself to a blanket to ease out of the window???
When the other half of the blanket was NOT tied to the bed and the camera followed the loose blanket as it sped out the window was the funniest thing I've seen in my ENTIRE life.
Some folks are just haters! Lucille Ball was great.

Thanxxx so much for the pictures MissGoddess. Coming out of the shadows through the mist of the green neon light just personifies Scottie's Obsession. And there's the bed right there...
Gee.

Love "Dark Passage" especially Agnes Moorhead. And yes, the cabbie AND the doctor were especially good. Tom D'Andrea was in tv's "The Life of Riley" starring William Bendix. I always was a bit skeptical of Bacall taking in a convicted murderer just becuz she thought he was innocent. But hey, that's Hollywood and I accept this plot device.
BTW: How could you fast-forward pass Troy Donahue??

What lovely eyes Loretta had.

Get real will ya!! Tor could barely speak without breathing so heavily. Maybe he could play Mr. Guttman in "The Maltese Falcon."

Hi there...I'm seeing Jennifer Garner leaning more towards Tierney than Angelina.
But let's face it...there's only ONE Linda Darnell and only ONE Gene Tierney. Our loss.

Eliza, just wanna warn you NOT to go to the Lucy Bashing thread somewhere on this board where they call her a B-actress. It's heartbreaking even though it's just their "opinion." I'm a fan of Lucy. No one could toss out a line like her (...and Eve Arden). She was a great comedienne.

Sometimes watching AMC is like having a one-nite stand when you know you'll hate yourself in the morning. It's sometimes the only game in town when you want to have a little sumthin' sumthin' to tide you over.
AMC does to classic films what Norman does to Marion.
Chip...get out of the shower NOW!!! And get over to the thread where I just "went a little mad" myself when I read some dumb comments about "Vertigo." UGH!! I'm not proud...but I was ****!
-
Let me join in the fray. Nobody gives a good god****#@! what your f*&^%$g bozos think about "Vertigo." Pull the damn plot apart, call it 'stupid.' Scoff at Novak's eyebrows for god's sake. You're damned ridiculous!!!
The movie is about longing. It's about loss. It had all those trappings (that make no sense to you) but that doesn't matter to those of us who get the deeper meaning of Hitchcock's film. It's about losing one's self foolishly...willingly, perhaps.
Bronxgirl you say you can't warm up to the film. I can totally respect that. But the other stupid assinine comments by other oh-so-clever posters are just so unworthy of a civilized discussion.
I've read some stupid, unkind, cruel things on this TCM Message Board, but I dunno...this stuff here takes the (*&^!!@ cake. Go on and blast me. I'll take the hit for "Vertigo."
(P.S. Love "Shadow of a Doubt." Teresa Wright is one of my favorites and Hitchcock always tells a deeper tale than the surface plot devices would have us believe).
Yeah man...I'm steamed!!!

Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing."
Steven Soderbergh's "sex, lies and videotape."
The second wave of independent filmmaking after Cassavetes.

You're welcome re: videotaping.
I won't touch those choices. I'm not familiar with Sacha Guitry.

Your response is dead-on. No one gets notice being kind of wimpy. Everybody loves the Bad Boy.
Kirk Douglas didn't mind playing s.o.b.s. He was fearless. And I enjoyed those bastardly roles.
-
Mickey Rooney was a force to be reckoned with...sing, dance, comedy, musical, drama. And to top it all, he was married to AVA GARDNER. That's enough to be in any hall of fame in my book.
-
D'ya suppose it's the human condition...to forget where you come from???
-
Okay..."Johnny Eager" here I come. I saw a bit of it last time it aired on TCM. Seems that Heflin acted as a sort of Greek chorus to Robert Taylor's pretty boy gangster.
I'll have to sit all the way through it to give Van an honest chance.
-
The waves in his hair make me dizzy...but he IS an Academy Award winner. I never cared for him much. But "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" is among my to ten all-time favorite motion pictures."
(Any chance to look at Lizabeth Scott too).
-
Geez. How lucky can a person be looking into these eyes.
-
Oh crap. Now I got vertigo. Madeleinnnnnnnnnnnnnnne...
-
i think it was the cadence of her line delivery that makes folks think ghostley and lynde were one and the same.
-
How mature. But it did make me smile. Ha!
-
Are you sure she's a Sapphic sister??? I read she was married.

I believe it IS Hitchcock's masterpiece.
And I say that with a lot of thought of "The Birds" "Rebecca" "Notorious" "Rear Window" "Suspicion" "Psycho" etc. etc. etc., classic upon classic upon classic.
James Stewart pretty much becomes unhinged after he loses "Madeleine." It's very methodical how he slowly makes over Judy into the girl of his dreams. Hey...who wouldn't want the chance to make...create the person of their dream. It is interesting that she allows this to happen in order to keep the man she has fallen in love with. Co-dependants. Then he lets us in on the fact that Judy IS Madeleine. OMG!!! Hermann's music is dizzyingly romantic. Kim Novak is...is...amazingly stunning.
This is my favorite Hitchcock film. I think it's his master- piece and MissGoddess get ready for the screams, the shrieks, the naysayers in response to your question. You asked for it.
I'll take Vertigo...yah yah yah.

Thanxx for indulging me. There are a couple of Stanwyck films coming our way in October. Enjoy.
Another color question - Errol Flynn's hair in Captain Blood

That wig was absolutely horrible on him. But he was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mesmerizing in that film that...
