The Sales Talk Transcription Co. Inc.?

Yes Alix...I think he was wonderful with Mae in "She Done Him Wrong", and especially in "I'm No Angel"...He was also good with Marlene Dietrich in "Blonde Venus"...
I yet have to check him opposite Loretta Young in "Born to be Bad", which I'm gonna watch this week...'cos I'm sure it's a total different stuff (being a Pre-Code), than their "Bishop's Wife", much later in 1947...
As for comedies, IMHO nothing tops Kate & Cary in "Bringing Up Baby"....although Irene ("Awful Truth", "My Fave Wife") and Roz Russell ("His Girl Friday")...run behind, pretty close.
As for drama Irene and Cary's "Penny Serenade" will linger forever in my mind. I'd like to watch a decent copy of this one, since, as somebody stated in another thread, there are so many bad quality Public Domain copies of this one...
As for "sensual" chemistry...he and Grace Kelly ignited "fireworks" in "To Catch a thief" and he was equally "electric" too in "North by Northwest" with Eva Marie Saint.
Well with all his other leading ladies he had fine chemistry: Ingrid Bergman, Deborah Kerr, Audrey Hepburn (it's so sad they didn't made mor films together!), Jean Arthur, Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy....

All About Eve?
-
Thanks M.L. for your kind comments; it's a little known film and it was a most rewarding experience to have had the opportunity of watching it...Thanks to Image!
TCM..you oughta have this one scheduled...
BTW, I'm looking forward to get another Madeleine Carroll flick, the 1936 "The General Died At Dawn", opposite Gary Cooper...which seemed to be available on VHS a while ago..
-
Yaeh Mongo!!!! Hit the Jackpot---Your turn...I long to watch this one once more.
-
You're right MovieJ...anything from Paramount, early 30s, late 20s, or even 40s is worth watching...It was the most sophisticated & intriguing studio of Hollywood!!!...Colbert, Dietrich, Chevalier, Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Raft, Sylvia Sidney, Fredric March, Nancy Carroll, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Jack LaRue, Randy Scott, Herbert Marshall, Evelyn Brent, Emil Jannings, Olga Baclanova, Paul Lukas, Ruth Chatterton, Adolphe Menjou,.....uuufff!!!
-
Thank you very much for answering me...tcmprogrammer...I know you showed once "Design for Living" but I MISSED it!!!!....As for "Temple Drake"...any version, even if it's not decent, will be welcomed by we-lovers-of-pre-codes....this one must be one of the most sought-after pre-codes!!! As for Peter Ibbetson, it's a pity!!! AMC showed it ten years ago??? when they were good!! Now AMC is terrible...only once did I stand to watch a movie (Loren-Cary Grant's "Houseboat")...but it was terrible to have all of those commercials...I hated it!
TCM, stay as you are and never change!

Sorry...the computer went crazy!!!
Clue # 3: A Couple which belongs to the Nobility
-
Hi M.L....good to meet you here
....another clue
Clue #: XIXth Century
-
Well as I noted before in another thread, I bought the double feature dvd of "Topper" and "Topper Returns"...both great movies...
As for "Topper Returns" in particular, Billie Burke is just great, and has a lot of chemistry with Roland Young, in other words, you believe they're married....not always "screen couples" are matched so well...and Joan Blondell (who's always been hilarious, funny, beautiful, great comdienne...I long for someone to find a lost copy somewhere in the world of the frequent mentioned "Convention City") is an important & pivotal part of the success of this zany comedy....Carole Landis is beautiful, and does good work as the long-lost-daughter, plus a lot of seasoned pros like Patsy Kelly, the wonderful Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, and the great H.B. Warner, whose complex character gets to "deceive" you in this funny film...his talent is undoubted!....well and Dennis O'Keefe as the romantic interest....
Well
Clue # 1: A Murder
-
Congrats Path...you've got excellent tastes..."All This and Heaven Too"....I'd kill to see that one!! You must tape it!! I've read Davis, Boyer and O'Neil are just great!!
An Lost Horizon, one of the seven wonders of the cinematic world!!! Bringing Up Baby too....And Arsenic and Old Lace, Vertigo, 3 Godfathers, Madame Bovary, Cat on a Hot Tin...For sure all you guys will be busy taping all these gems...
-
Ben Johnson in the wonderful, sad, downbeat film "The Last Picture Show"...this film I'd like to own on dvd...Cloris Leachman was simply superb!! as Eileen Brennan, Ellen Burstyn and all the rest...A Peter Bogdanovich masterpiece, really...this film lingers...
-
It MUST be Topper Returns!!!
-
You're right, sorry...I always get mixed-up with Eggar and Ross in the '60s, they were both beautiful in the same way & style...had similar looks, at least I see it that way.
Sth. similar used to happen to me with Spencer Tracy and James Whitmore, although the latter is much younger...as a teenager I always got confused who was who!!!
-
I still haven't had the time to watch "Demetrius...", it's in line waiting...but as far as I remember when I saw it...I liked the music score tremendoulsy....as for "The Vikings" which I've watched already....its cinematography and its score is really gorgeous....words aren't enough to praise them...those two "items" or "aspects" of the film, are the ones that most overwhelmed me ...it's excellently done, with much detail (wardrobe, the ships, the viking village, etc)...a documentary featuring Richard Fleischer comes as a bonus, great!!!,,,For this great DVD I only paid 9.99 plus tax in a Target store...as for Demetrius I paid almost the same here in my country...really cheap, considering its worth as films (at least for me)
-

Great info Spencer thanks!....You're right, in spite of Grant's talents as a seasoned pro., Kathatine Ross's obvious beauty & charm and Jim Hutton's charisma, "Walk don't Run" cannot compare with the ORIGINAL "The More the Merrier", WHICH SHOULD be released on DVD: starring three faves of all time: Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn. Well Cary was wonderful too with Jean in "Only Angels Have Wings" & "Talk of the Town".....Would love to see Jean with E.G. Robinson in "Whole Town's Talking" BTW.

that he should never smile, at least publically?

TCM Programmer...Hi! It's great to have you posting with us....Great what you tell about those Paramounts, great taste in chhosing those wonderful movies...I have four questions "in that line"....well, five:
- High, Wide and Handsome?
- Peter Ibbetson?
- Design For Living?
- The Story of Temple Drake?
- Hot Saturday?
Thanks in advance for your answer!!!
-
Yes, may he rest in peace...and I liked him very much in "Kings Row" "Hasty Heart" & "Santa Fe Trail".
-
Mongo, the Wyler connection is that yesterday we were discussing Eleanor Parker in that thread...
-
M.L. I did see "Papillon" once....excellent movie, overwhelming, downbeat, but great! MCQueen and Hoffman are top of the tops here!
And Lolite..thank God it hasn't happened to me (yet)...but sometimes, some DVD cases are so badly manufactured, that If I hadn't been extremely careful...the disc may have been broken!
-
So visiting the William Wyler thread gave you ideas pal? (chuckles)....It's Caged, starring among other the lovely Eleanor Parker....prison drama...remember Hope Emerson in this one? terrifying!!...the actress who said it was Gertrude Hoffman (I confess that this data I looked it up at USIMDB.com, 'cos there's no other way I could have remembered her name...her role was uncredited!)
-
Thanks (chuckles)...I meant that he had a dog called Duke, and people started calling him the same..
