"And it is so sad to me, that she is a prize to the men, but neither really wants her - she is of no intrinsic value to either.... she is the gateway to the reward, not the reward itself. I think the men circling around her almost enjoy the contest with each other more than the prospect of winning her - the one-upsmanship goads them on and on. Check! Now who will Checkmate?" - << (( JACK FAVELL )) >>
WoW!! Nice, Jackaaaaaaaaay.
After seeing "THE HEIRESS" "THE SNAKE PIT" and "MY COUSIN RACHEL" (upon Bronxie's command) OLIVIA DeHAVILLAND is fast shooting up the top of my list* of favorite actresses.
It's funny, I'm almost forgetting about her as Melanie or as the other half of the dashing coup-
ling in Errol Flynn films. (That last shot of Olivia and Errol in "Captain Blood" is one of the great
fade-outs. They were both so beautiful).
I think Olivia is quite under-rated with all the fire and ice of Bette and Stanwyck et al.
*List...list? Hooo boy, I've got to prepare something for Foxy Rey Man.

I remember Rochelle Hudson with Joan Crawford in "STRAIT JACKET."
I am looking at a program call on the Investigation Discovery channel called "THE WILL: FAMILY SECRETS REVEALED." This episode...Joan Crawford's will. Casey LeLonde also appears.
Interesting.

The ENCORE WESTERN CHANNEL will be showing TIM HOLT westerns on Thursday, January 29th. He may be short...maybe. But he's cute as all get out. If I had gone one more click...I'd have remembered this thread.
Hey hey Jackaaaaaaaay.

For me, Ronald Colman has a dreamy voice, but standing next to Cary Grant...uhmmm....

D'ya see what you can learn on the TCM Message Board?

I saw her in "Long Ago Tomorrow" many many many yesterdays ago. (And she was in the "National Velvet" sequel).
-
Well, Ralph and John are no Stymie and Spanky...but I guess they'll do. Who's playing Miss Crabtree?
-
Strolling on his fairway??
Okay, my turn. I daren't say what I am thinking!
(Geez, you really must have been a pistol in L.A. last year.)

Ooohhhh...you wicked wicked Favell.

HA! Let me remind you...Mavens are mind readers.

* "Those YouTube appearances put CM into that great-looking category, too. A woman with a supernova smile." - <<< ((OLLIE )) >>>
Thank you so much Ollie, really. And Meg thanks you too!
* "I can't help it. It's the way I'm drawn. I need a personality to go with that supremely GORGEOUS body that I admit gave me a pang of...something when I looked at it...I'll check out 'Send Me No Flowers' - I've seen it before but not for a long time. Is he a big Texan in it?" - <<< (( JACKAAAY )) >>>
Oh yeah, he's a big...every thing in it. But to be fair and balanced...he's a bit stiff in the role. But I liked seeing Doris' arm around him as they walk off the fairway.

Now see girls & Hollywoooooooood...THIS is what I'm talking about. I'm glancing at
--"MY COUSIN RACHEL"-- uhmmm..."RACHEL AND THE STRANGER." Loretta Young
has got to choose between two virile handsome hunks: William Holden and Robert
Mitchum. No disrespect to our fabulous supporting actors but what kind of choice is
it between Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy or Cary Grant and Melvyn Douglas. Let's
make it a horse race for our leading ladies of old. I don't want to watch all of "Rachel..."
but I like her choice between these two. I think I'd put my stability on Holden...and other
parts on Mitchum. Young looked very fetching in the scene by the creek; high cheek-
bones and all that hair reminded me of Jennifer Jones a bit.
And speaking of the dark beauty of Gail Patrick, why can't she ever get a break? "My
Man Godfrey" "StageDoor" "His Favorite Wife" and even though I didn't see all of it...I
can only imagined how she ended up in "The Doctor Takes A Wife"...losing out on love
once again. Why?
Edited by: CineMaven on Jan 6, 2011 11:16 AM - SueSue...seventeen is still too young
for Clint. You don't want him to get in trouble, d'ya?

Believe it or not, my mother took us with her to see this in the movies when it came out. I probably didn't understand everything that went on in the movie when I saw it the first time...but to this day,
I always remember the coffee. Sorry I missed it the other nite.
-
Bubbles Salmon...what a great name. Does she use a fan...or a snake? I always liked Brother Rat. But in "Paths of Glory" Morris was a coward.
-
I think I'd be smiling too if I were doing the thing I loved...making movies. (And having those Oscars can't hurt either).

They shoot horses, don't they?

In my best JULIE ANDREWS voice:

You need a personality to go with 6'6"?? Well...okay.
Look, you might check out Clint Walker in "SEND ME NO FLOWERS" with Doris Day. He's no Richardson so I'm not suggesting you'll see any big range of acting. He's just a big good loo-
king hunk of a guy. And I?
I am a shallow Maven. (But I have my moments).
-
Look how soulful little Scotty Beckett's eyes were....once you peel your eyes away from Clint. Whew! Just had lunch with my friend Marvin who is a big big fan of Clint Walker's and says "Night of the Grizzly" is excellent.
-
Well those shots say it all. Wow.
"THIS BABY CAN TALK!!!!"
Spanky's (3-years old and ) totally adorable!!! Waiting for Scotty Beckett. He was the cutest little Rascal. But that kid with the striped hat (Brisbane)... whew!
-
Awwww...my little Petey. Before thugs bastardized the breed, there was Petey. :x
Yeah Lassie was a beauty, but she was never a pirate.
-
Awww he's a cute little round-headed boy, and has some funny lines in this iteration of the Rascals. But I'm lovin' Pete.

"Too bad TCM never interviewed her. I guess she wasnt a big enough star, but I'm sure she had some interesting stories as she worked with some big stars. Too bad." -
<<< ((( HIBI ))) >>>
Huh???
TCM interviewed her. I saw Anne Francis talk about her experience working with Spencer Tracy when she made "BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK."
