Path..speaking of Joel McC, his early films are very entertaining as well, and some of them are top-notch, he's a fave of mine; I've bought some of his films either on dvd or vhs: "The Silver Horde" (1930) with Evelyn Brent (she sounds a lot like Barbara Stanwyck type), Blanche Sweet, Jean Arthur; "Kept Husbands" (1931) with Dorothy Mackaill; "Bird of Paradise" (1932) with Dolores del R?o; "Bed of Roses" (1933) with Connie Bennett and Pert Kelton (which I taped from TCM); "The Most Dangerous Game" (1932), with Fay Wray; "The Richest Girl in the World" (1934) with Wray and Miriam Hopkins (also taped form TCM); "Barbary Coast" (1935) with Miriam Hopkins, Edward G. Robinson; "Come and Get It" (1936)with Eddie Arnold and Frances Farmer; "Dead End" (1937) with Sylvia Sidney, Bogart, Claire Trevor.
He was a very fine actor...he was also excellent in his swan-song-film Peckinpah's 1962 "Ride the High Country" with Randy Scott

Clue # 2: Unrequited Love
-
I think it cannot be Gilbert, 'cos he never won an Oscar.

But if the dutch are going to share "Beyond the Rocks" with us...why not, the same with this silent film...I'd be thrilled to watch the other famous "Norma" of the silent days, in her glory...she, like Shearer, was married once to Joseph M. Schenck (Studio Head, at United Artists?)...Well I too fell-in-love with this movie when i was child....'cos my grandma and her husband kept talking about the Shearer version, that it was magnificent, etc.....and once I watched with them the 1941 version with Jeanette....You won't believe it, but I never have watched the Shearer film!!!!!.... Moonyean...that name, it's so special.....well:
Clue # 1: Sacrifice
-
Either the 1932 version with Norma Shearer or the 1941 one with Jeanette Macdonald....BTW...anybody knows if the silent 1923 version, with Norma Talmadge, still exists...or is it a lost film?
-
Ronald Colman?

Smilin' Through?

And speaking of nasty & despisable characters, lest not we forget the great aforementioned Mercedes MacCambridge in two other outstanding roles....as the ruthless, greedy lover of Broderick Crawford in 1949's "All The King's Men"...what a role!!! and as Joan Crawford's nemesis in 1954's "Johnny Guitar".....and oooohh....unspeakable nasty Madeline Sherwood (later known as mther superior in Sally Filed's series "The Flying Nun")...as the greedy and unbearable daughter-in-law of Burl Ives in "Cat on Hat Tin Roof".....
-
Both of them are great actresses, and beautiful too ...Olivia looked ravishing in period stuff such as "A Midsummer's Night Dream" and "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex"...and Joan looked equally beautiful in "A Damsel in Distress", "Frenchman's Creek"..etc. I only wish that Olivia would have starred in Hitchcock movie.
They're both alive, and both of them deserve Honorary Oscars for their careers (I don't know if Olivia got one?), and I wish they would be interviewed in TCM.
They're great:
Recommended Olivia's stuff: "Advs. Of Robin Hood", "Captain Blood", "Snake Pit", "The Dark Mirror", "Hold Back the Dawn", "The Heiress",.....
Recommended Joan: "The Constant Nymph", "Letter from an Unknown Woman", "Rebecca", "Suspicion", "Frenchman's Creek", "Jane Eyre"....

Yeah I read too that it was an Isotta-Fraschini...and that it had belonged to silent (foreign, french I think) movie (& theatre?) star/entertainer/dancer Gaby Deslys, who made some stuff in Hollywood in the 1910's (after 1915, it seems).
-
Not seen all of Harlow's movies.....but in "Red-Headed Woman" she played a gold-digger....I've heard, it's very, very good, in a similar way as "Baby Face" with Barbara Stanwyck....I have it taped...so I'll confirm it later.

The Old Maid?

Anita Page?

thanks mongo...see you
-
BTW...wasn't Sir Winston's daughter, Sarah...the one who co-starred with Fred Astaire and Jane Powell (& Pete Lawford) in "Royal Wedding"....and wasn't another of Sir Winston's sons, married to Pamela (n?e Digby), later to marry Leland Hayward and politician W. Averell Harriman...who later was "ambassadoress" in Paris...Pamela Digby Churchill Heyward Harriman...what a name!!!!
-
The great Ethel Barrymore...great/grand-aunt of Drew Barrymore
-
You're right Mongo...but i think to men's looks "handsome" would be more appropiate...or attractive...but beuatiful..is more form women? or for men who are extremely goodlooking, I think....well I always get mixed-up with Gordon Scott and Steve Reeves,....'cos they both acted in those "beefy" movies, Tarzan, Hercules, Maciste, Samson, etc...sorry for the mistake....BTW, Vera Miles was (an is?) beautiful...she should have attained greater stardom....
-
I think mandog'd got it...bu Mature "beautiful"?...the next to beutiful he was, was when he co-starred with gorgeous Hedy Lamarr in "Samson and Delilah"...I'd say Beast & Beauty...No harm intended, Mature was a Man's Man, hunky, full of muscles....but "beautiful"?....who said that???.....Steve Reeves, who married Vera Miles, would have been better suited to that "nickname" 'cos he had more conventional "nice" looks & features, and he was "full of muscles" too...well, my opinion.

Myrna Loy

The Cook, the wife, the thief & the Lover?
-
No idea...but only one guess: Preston Sturges?
Bansi:
I'll rent it for sure....the same happened to me with "Shadowlands"...I wanted to see it for a loong time, some people higly recommended it to me, until I found it at a "Best Buy", in Raleigh N.C. for 5.99 bucks and bought it....an absolute masterpiece of acting by Anthony Hopkins, underrated Debra Winger & the boy who played her son...wonderfullly human movie.

I MUST SEE that movie..everyone says it's just a masterpiece!!!

Walter Brennan?

Chester Morris? Tom Conway? Basil Rathbone?
