elopement - "SISTERS" starring Bette Davis & Errol Flynn
new word - apple pie

I agree with Sweetsmell.... Olivia played such diverse roles and was very good in all
of them. I did like Joan in"Jane Eyre" & " Rebecca."(except it was hard to take my
eyes off of Orson Welles & Laurence Olivier)
-
Hey, Cinesage... I already apologized to China...for my goof. Check my post on
3/21. Love the "dig". lol (bargars/choosers) Very "punny"
-
OOPS! Thanks, China! I remember that movie. There was also one with Paul Henreid
called "The Spanish Main"

We have a thread regarding Hollywood couples we would like to have seen paired. I thought it would be fun to pair --
present-day actors with past actors. For instance:
Tom Hanks & Irene Dunne
Cary Grant & Meg Ryan
Hugh Grant & Carole Lombard
Jack Nicholsen & Bette Davis(whoa!)
John Garfield & Michele Pfeiffer
Robert Mitchum & Barbara Stanwyck
Ralph Fiennes & Vivien Leigh
James Stewart & Sandra Bullock
Anthony Hopkins & Margaret Sullavan
And...(: ..Abbott & Costello meet Robin Williams

I wouldn't be surprised. He said he would read or hear about men who wanted to be
just like Cary Grant. He said, "I want to be like "Cary Grant" myself!

One of my very favorite movies. We were at Mt. Rushmore a few yrs. ago and ate in the
cafeteria portrayed in the movie. We, of course, thought of that scene.
As far as the matchbook: R-O-T - Roger O. Thornhill. She says, "What does the "O"
stand for" and he says "nothing".
-
I have so much respect for Ingrid Bergman. Her acting was so natural and ran the
gamut from "Casablanca" to "Cactus Flower". I remember reading articles in which
actors would comment what a privilege it was to work with her. When she became
more mature, I enjoyed her in said "Cactus Flower", Inn of the Sixth Happiness, &
"Indiscreet".
I am old enough to remember the "scandal" when she was ostracized from Hollywood
because of her affair with Rosselini while still married. Purity was an image that she
showed on the screen and fans could not separate the two. NOW....well, you know!
She had such natural beauty & apparently wore little makeup. She was graceful even
though she wasn't a small woman.
I guess the closest we come to her today is Meryl Streep.
-
Thanks for coming up with the list. Good job!
My vote is for THE KEY in "Notorious". The moment when I.B. is trying to get it
off of C.R.'s keychain is nerve-wracking.
-
I just thought of a goodie! The little game w/tiny balls to put in holes, played with by
Dana Andrews in "Laura". Clifton Webb's character didn't like it & D.A. said "It helps me concentrate".
The "Carlotta" NECKLACE in "Vertigo"
The CANDLES in "Young Frankenstein" ("Put the candle BACK"!
Here I am going on & on!!
-
"LAURA" & "ALL ABOUT EVE". Especially, "Laura". I'd get so caught up in this
movie, I might forget I was sick.
-
I have two choices: After seeing Bette Davis in "Jezebel", I think she would have been
excellent.
Paulette Goddard's performance in "Reap the Wild Wind", she would have been
equally as good.
-
You can really come up with some interesting "spotlights".
Burl Ives WAS "Big Daddy" in every way, shape(oops:)and form. He certainly ran
the gamut of emotions. His distaste for his "no neck" grandchildren and his disrepect
for "Big Mama" was so well played.
Keep those threads coming as we obviously enjoy them.
-
These two films are so different in genre, it's hard for me to choose.
However, I would have to choose Ben-Hur. The editing of the chariot race boggles
the mind. I was nicely surprised with Stephen Boyd's acting. The paradox of the
commeraderie of boyhood friendship and then the volitility of their adult hatred was
especially moving. I agree with Webestang. The silent version was so impressive
for that era!
-
Orson Welles was too much "genius" for the movie moguls. Very sad.
There was an interview on TCM w/Betty Hutton and she claimed she was treated hatefully
on the set of " Annie Get Your Gun" because of Judy not being there.
Jane Powell took Judy Garland's place in" Royal Wedding" also. What a tragic life
Judy Garland had. However. she has left quite a legacy of music and acting.
-
Thanks for remembering that! I couldn't remember who did that. Yes, that was a
funny moment. She also took off her glasses and began to squint. LOL

Otter...
As the "boys" said in "Kiss Me Kate", "brush up your Shakespeare". One of my
favorite numbers from that musical.
By the way, "A TEMPEST" in a Teapot" is somewhat like "Sound & Fury".
(We have season tickets to a repertory theatre in our city, and whenever one of
the selections is Shakespeare, I have to take my daughter instead of my
husband. She always hopes there is one of his plays on the schedule)
-
"Bachelor Mother" (Ginger Rogers & David Niven)
New word: rollercoaster
-
This is great. My favorite is "Sherlock Holmes"
(This brings back memories of my grandson building his "masterpieces" not to
long ago. He will be seventeen soon.(sigh) There is also a place we visit every
year, near our city,at Chrismas. One of the displays is a life-size nativity scene
made entirely of Legos. It is amazing!)

In westerns, the man goes up to the bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be".
Man says, "Whiskey". The bartender starts to pour a drink and the man
says(cliche)"Just give me the bottle".
When a lady is complimented on her dress, she says, "Oh, this old thing".
This isn't a line, but I think it is "cliche". The secretary is homely, BUT when
she undoes her hair, it is long and luxurious, and she immediately becomes
beautiful.

Otto Preminger as a director
in Films and Filmmakers
Posted
I am just now responding to Otto P. as a director because we watched "Bunny Lake is
Missing" last evening. Has anyone else watched it recently? I was drawn to the
movie because Laurence O. was in it, although not enough for me.
When the sister is playing games with the brother to distract him, I wanted that
scene to be over with soon. I know it was a climatic scene, but "enough already".
(Junket? It is supposed to be a dessert made with curds. I say, JUNK IT)
