Johnny Sheffield in "Tarzan's Desert Mystery" with: OTTO KRUGER

Adam Sandler!? How about Will Ferrell!? OMG, Bite our tongues!! Another channel that has messed up BIG-TIME is A & E. Arts & Entertaiment, I think not!! And......BBCA! Where have all my British mysteries gone?! Thank goodness, for PBS which has Masterpiece Mystery Theatre and Masterpiece Theatre. Oh well. That's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise.

Jack..I am so glad to see this post today. I just finished watching "Downstairs" this morning. I have a whole new appreciation of John Gilbert. Some of his silents were fabulous, but this was pure joy. He dominated every scene & with Paul Lukas, that isn't easy. I enjoyed the supporting cast as well. Virginia Bruce, so pretty. Reginald Owen, the type part he does so well. We definitely have missed out on the potential pleasure of watching John Gilbert moving on.

RainingVs.....Barbra Streisand is a fabulous singer. That's all, so I agree with you. However, I loved Ingrid B.in" Casablanca" and Vivien L. in "Streetcar".

THANKS, FF! and MERCI, CasablancaL..! The scenes between Dev & Alicia....so romantic!!

FredC...If you are shocked about L.Rainer, look out for the fans of Garbo's. I, personally, agree with you about Garbo, however. Here goes...I also do not see the appeal of, are you ready for it.....Jean Harlow. There, I said it and I'm glad. As far a disliking actors who are too/etc., as Patfl said, that isn't me. I don't have a problem with over-acting, playing to the camera, or whatever you want to call it. If the part calls for it, that is fine. After all, one of the biggest over-actors we have is Charles Laughton and I am crazy about him!! To add to the list of being themselves in a role: John Wayne(except he hated horses) and Robert Mitchum come to mind. Message was edited by: Bargar

FredC...I am glad someone asked about Luise Rainer. We just watched "The Big City" with Spencer Tracy. She was definitely miscast in that role. HOWEVER, I have seen her in other films and I just don't get it. In my opinion, she looks like she is acting in a silent film. Over-emoting. It is one of those cases, I want to like her but I just don't.

nosegay - "Alice Adams" nw: - CORSAGE

FredC....AGREE AGREE AGREE! In other words, "I agree". I really like Jean Peters. My question is, what is SHE doing with a "dork" like Casey Adams? At first I thought the great J. Cotten was going to play a pitiful character and then I perked up when he became edgier.

Definitely, "Casablanca" And: The Lady Eve Ball of Fire The Thin Man Series - My man loves Myrna Loy & Nick & Nora are very romantic Remember the Night Bogie & Bacall "combos" Notorious

I'll get my feet wet. First, I believe when Scotty was given this"mission", it filled a void. The more he got into it, the more intrigued and excited he became. If what he felt for Madeline was love, it was obsesssive love. Whenever a mysterious woman is involved, the fascination begins. After Madeline's death he had a nervous breakdown. How intense is that! Upon healing, he wanted to pick up his life again, but, imagine how he felt seeing Judy on the street. His life was empty at this point and if he could have Madeline back, his life would move forward, and he could fool himself into believing he was with her again. Judy began to have feelings for Scotty, but also she felt guilty and jealous. Very strong combinaton. Scotty and Midge, I believe, had a relationship prior to Madeline.The fact that her character was a polar opposite of Madeline, was so apparent. Their relationship was a friendly one, although I beleive Midge wanted more. After seeing how devasted Scotty was, I think she gave up at that point. Scotty thought he could conquer his vertigo(re: Midge's apt.) and he hadn't. He couldn't conquer his obsession either. However, upon climbing the tower, his determination overcame his fear. As far as his future, he would have a lot of "work" to do. Reclaim his pride, to me, would be a priority.

Thanks, Molo! I really enjoy feedback. Looking forward to new posts. Bg.
