A Place in the Sun or An Amwerican Tragedy? (same plot)

Yeah...you hit the jackpot Mongo! Congrats!...One of my fave John Ford's movies, the great 1937 epic, featuring some of the most amazing special effects of the '30s.....with a top cast....Jon Hall, Dorothy Lamour, Mary Astor, Raymond Massey, C. Aubrey Smith, Thomas Mitchell, Jerome Cowan, John Carradine...another excellent Sam Goldwyn release....your turn friend...I've watched endlessly...Mary astor shines in this film!!!

MGM's Ben-Hur?
-
Checked the name of the actor who played the judge's part in my book "The Films of Ty Power"...."Francis Compton", never heard of him...as an actor...he must have done very little screen work...later I'll check at us.imdb.com...just curious...maybe he was a real-life judge or barrister???
-
That was said to one of my very, very fave character actresses, wonderfully outrageous (at least in the 1930s)Una O'Connor, in Witness for the Prosecution, By the Judge...unknown actor....

I'm taking notes dee..thanks for your recommendations!
-
On a remote island off the african coast, in the east indies???....Skull Island??
-
You misunderstood me pal... I meant Maggie Rutherford's Mis Marples...not Edna May's...sorry....BTW I'd love to watch those Gleason-Oliver antics...they must be great!!!
On the other hand, David Lean's Blithe Spirit, is a british picture, marvellously funny, starring Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond and Maggie Rutherford...what a funny movie!! The best of English humour!! Gene Tierney was in another "Ghost" movie, maybe you've seen it...the great "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with Rex Harrison too, a must-see

Thanks (again) Mongo...well I have two hours left, before I go out...so here we go:
Clue # 1: A strong-principled-stubborn Man
-
Dee, don't worry about the double or triple posts...it has happened before...to me too!!
Again you've named lovely character actresses: Dame May Whitty....what an actress!! "Night Must Fall", "The Lady Vanishes", "Gaslight"...those movies!!!...and great Edna May Oliver...the stubborn, strong characters she always played: "A Tale of Two Cities", "David Copperfield", "Pride and Prejudice", "Drums along the Mohawk".....and Maggie Rutherford..."Passport to Pimlico" and "Blithe Spirit" (already mentioned)...did I mention the Miss Marple films??....And another fave of mine the dotty old lady of "The Ladykillers", don't remember her name...what a great movie ...and that reminds me of Pete Sellers: "The Party", "Romanoff and Juliet", "Mouse that Roared", etc..
Marie Dressler is an actress of which I have definitely more to see of...My friend M.L. speaked on very good terms about the 1914 silent starring her and Chaplin "Tillie's Punctured Romance"...also gotta see her pairings with fellow Polly Moran, Tugboat Annie, Christopher Bean, Emma...oopps...only seen her in "Dinner at Eight", "Min and Bill" and "Anna Christie"...
and what about lovely, dear Laura Hope Crews, May Robson and also Jessie ralph....
Crews was great in GWTW and in Camille, and also in The Rains Came (short part) and in The Age of Innocence...
Ralph was great in the aforementioned Camille, Little Lord Fauntleroy (another Public Domain Copy), Captain Blood, San Francisco, The Blue Bird...
And May Robson In Lady for a Day, Anna Karenina, Bringing Up Baby!!!, Dinner at eight, et al....
Ooops!! also I'd forgotten Una O'Connor (outstanding in Bride of Frankenstein, Robin Hood, Sea Hawk, Invisible Man), Flora Robson (great in Fire Over England, Sea Hawk, Catherine the Great (with little known Elisabeth Bergner), Caesar and Cleopatra (what a name she had here: Ptatateeta), Wuthering Heights) and Aline MacMahon (great in Kind Lady, one of her few starring roles), the WB early thirties films, Dragon Seed, etc
We don't have this kind of actresses or personalities in our days!!!
-
Thta was a funny movie!!!...I also recall Queen of Outer Space starring Zsa Zsa Gabor!!!
-
The 1938 The Shopworn Angel (Sullavan-Stewart).....never seen the 1929 version with Nancy Carroll and Gary Cooper
-
Thanks Mongo

MovieJoe..."These Three" this far has only been released on VHS format...so I'll stick to my taped version from TCM.....HBO, as far as I remember...released many Goldwyn features, among them "Come and Get It", "The Hurricane", "Stella Dallas", "Dodsworth", "The Little Foxes", "Ball of Fire", "Wuthering Heights", "The Bishop's Wife"....I've got all of them, except "The Bishop's Wife" and "The Little Foxes", which belong to re-releases by MGM/UA...they're fine and cheaper, since the others are out of stock and pricier....somebody told me that the MGM/UA re-release of "Dodsworth" wasn't as good as the original HBO....As for the others, they haven't been re-released by MGM/UA...still...
I also had the feeling that the TCM version of "Trouble.." did look a little bit better than criterion's....too bad
Anchor's Bay release of "Garden of Allah" is flawless...you can read my review at amazon.com (as "fedo")...although the film is not big deal, in other words, the plot is sort of predictable...anyway the stars's chemistry (Boyer-Dietrich) is great, the color photography incredible, breathtakingly, it doesn't look as from 1936...but from 1956!!!...and Tilly Losch gives a wonderful exotic dance,,,plus Rathbone in great form too....
Another excellent Anchor Bay Release is "Portrait of Jennie"....really great...B& White, then green tinted, then sepia, final shot in color....marvellous
I did tape Tovarich...it is great, and I reviewed it in us.imdb.com as Fernando Silva, my real name, great comedy...sort of a "reversal" Ninotchka...
You're also right about Rebecca, Anchor Bay's release is so good that i don't care about the Criterion release...although some criterions I long for are "The Devil and Daniel Webster" and "Written on the Wind"...not available on other editions....on the other hand "Sullivan's Travels", "The Lady Eve" and "My Man Godfrey" didn't disappoint me...in spite of the high prices..."The Palm Beach Story" and "Midnight" must find their way to dvd...just as "I married a witch"!!
I've heard about that Colbert movies...there are so many early Paramount's of Colbert that seem to be out of circulation: "The Big Pond", "Four Frightened People", "Three Cornered Moon", "Secrets of a Secretary", "The Misleading Lady", "The Lady Lies", "His Woman", "Youn Man of Manhattan", "Honor among Lovers", "Manslaughter", "The Wiser Sex", "The Man from Yesterday", "Private Worlds", "Tonight is Ours", "I cover the Waterfront (this one's UA)"The Gilded Lily", "She Married Her boss" (this one's Columbia) (some of them are really excellent!!!)..."Maid of Salem" is anothe one of hers I'd like to see too...and what about Jean Athur's Columbia "The Whole Town's Talking"...and the "Ex-Mrs. Bradford" with Bill Powell, and Bill powell's "Star of Midnight" with Ginger Rogers...and what about Jean Arthur's "If You Could only Cook" with Herbert Marshalll...and all those Nancy carroll and Sylvia Sidney's early films "Night Angel", "Laughter", "Hot Saturday", "City Streets", "Merrily We go to hell", "An american Tragedy", "Merrily we go to hell", "Good Dame", "30 Day Princess"....there's so much to watch!!!
