Hey Path40a, If you're a fan of Bette Davis I can also recommend to you, very much: "Mr. Skeffington" (1944) in which she plays a "belle" loved by Claude Rains & many others; the excellent "Dark Victory" (1939) with George Brent, Ronald Reagan & Humphrey Bogart; "The Old Maid" (1939) with Miriam Hopkins and George Brent (classic tearjerker); her oscar winning performance in the lavish "Jezebel" with Henry Fonda & George Brent (Here Bette really looks stunning); "The Petrified Forest" (1936) with Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart (here she portrays the dreamy Gabrielle);"The Great Lie" with a bitchy Mary Astor and George Brent; "All this and Heaven Too"....wonderful period drama with Charles Boyer; "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" (here she portrays Elizabeth I of England)with Errol Flynn & Olivia de Havilland; "A Stolen Life", in which Bette plays twin sisters with Glenn Ford; "Deception" with Claude Rains; "In This Our Life" with George Brent & Olivia de Havilland; the bitchy "Old Acquaintance" with Miriam Hopkins and Gig Young; and last, but not least the masterpiece "All About Eve" with Anne Baxter, Gary Merrill, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Thelma Ritter & Marilyn Monroe.

By the way, Now Voyager is shown on TCM, and it's available on dvd and vhs I also read some time ago Goldwyn's biography by Berg, and it's a very entertaining and telling book...I agree with you

I wanted to log in since last night...I don't know what's goin' on with this web page!!! This scene you're talking about is the classic scene from the landmark tearjerker "Now Voyager"(1942) and it features the great Bette Davis lighting up both her cigarette and Paul Henreid's....

Too much commercial cuts....few classic films from the golden era 1929-1960....too many repetitions....bad schedules....

Thelma Ritter is definitely one of the finest character actresses of all time...she steals every scene she's in.... also favorites are Clifton Webb, Ethel Barrymore, Frank Morgan, Sig Rumann, Hattie McDaniel, Mary Boland, Alma Kruger.....oooopss...there are so much more!!

I don't know if this can help you, but On Dinah Washington's cd "The Complete Dinah Washington" on Mercury, Vol 4. (which spans years 1954-1956), it's featured a song called " (A) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", which was written by Roy Alfred & Abner Silver, it seems, around 1956....hope this is the one!!

you mean dark-haired beauties...although Garbo was rather blondish..she had fair hair...being scandinavian Dark Haired woman with fair skin...are great: Gardner, Leigh, Taylor, Tierney, Lamarr....Del R?o was very beautiful & Classy....she had wonderful light-olive skin

Vivien Leigh Liz Taylor Grace Kelly Gene Tierney Hedy Lamarr

Maybe it's "$1,000 a Touchdown", made by Paramount in 1939, with Joe E. Brown, Martha Raye, Eric Blore and Hayward....it's about a football team

"Siboney" is a famous old song by cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona, and as far as I know it has been featured in the following american films: - Columbia's 1937 "When Your In Love" with Grace Moore and Cary Grant. - Universal's 1942 "Get Hep To Love" with Gloria Jean, Peggy Ryan, Donald O'Connor, Robert Paige and Jane Frazee. - Universal's 1944 "Babes on Swing Street" with Ann Blyth, Peggy Ryan, Leon Errol and Alma Kruger. Hope this helps you!!

I saw this movie a long time ago...it was made by MGM in 1947, and stars Margaret O'Brien, Cyd Charisse, Karin Booth and Danny Thomas.....it's about ballet dancers...I even taped it once...I remember a scene were one ballet dancer (Cyd Charisse, I believe) falls because of something that O'Brien does, and ends on a wheelchair?...I saw it on TNT in the late 1980's.....so TCM must have this film in its library, and must show it on a regular basis, I think....although I've never seen it again The movie seems to be unavailable

You're always right MovieJoe....and what about having the chance of, at last!, watching and taping "Letty Lynton".... I wish all the legal battle & bundle concerning the rights of the movie, would end, after all these years!!!! So that all of us could enjoy it.... We should make a crusade for it!!!

Yes it must be "Our Blushing Brides" with Joan Crawford and Robert Montgomery (the store owner's son)...the two other girls are Dorothy Sebastian and Anita Page....MovieJoe, Joan co-starred with Doug. Fairbanks Jr. in 1929's "Our Modern Maidens"....

I think Vivien Leigh looked appealing enough in Waterloo Bridge, Lady Hamilton (very beautiful in costume clothing), Caesar and Cleopatra...and in Anna Karenina, too.... From "Streetcar" onwards she began looking older than her real age..

When you talk about Wyler and his later movies "without a heart"...I immediately think of the opposite, one of Wyler's most heart-felt films, and one of my top-five faves of all time: "Dodsworth" (1936)....for me its THE movie of the 30's....I just love it since I was a kid.... also like very much "The Good Fairy", "These Three", etc... And about what's a success, let's not forget that some movies who weren't successes and even didn't won so much critical appraise on their time...later on, found an big audience and met critical success, like "Bringing Up Baby" for example....whic is a gem.....So now there's another subject....movies which become a "success" not in their time but in another decade....

I can think also of Ernst Lubitsch: "Forbidden Paradise" (1924), "The Marriage Circle", "Lady Windermere?s Fan" (1925), "Kiss Me Again" (1925)....The patriot, The Student Prince, Love Parade, Monte Carlo, Smiling Lieutenant, Trouble in paradise, design for living, ninotchka, shop around the corner...etc.... And well! Hitchcock himself!!!... no need to cite the films..

For me, Cary Grant was THE actor who starred in such a string of classics and excellent movies, that it's almost unbelievable!!...other runner ups, are Kate Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart...

TCM has shown "Scarface", "I am a fugitive from a Chain Gang" and "The Good Earth"....all with Paul Muni...Ah!! and "The Story of Louis Pasteur", "The Life of Emile Zola"...and I think "Juarez", too... They're all very good movies

I liked Walbrook in Max Oph?ls's 1955 "Lola Mont?s", as Kin Ludwig I of Bavaria opposite Martine Carol in the title role...

I recorded "War Nurse" (1930) with Anita Page and Robt. Montgomery....and the ending was missing!! I think there wer 6 minutes left only.... the last scene I saw was Anita Page's (Joy) nervous breakdown after Robert Ames' death (Robin), when June Walker (Babs) takes her into another room...please I need to know what happened!!!!

The girl could be Lila Lee or Patsy Ruth Miller

I agree with you Mongo... actors' private, personal, or even public lives...shouldn't affect one's regard on their jobs and movies....I just cant't stand when some people tend to dismiss some filmakers' or actors' jobs, making disgusting remarks, because of their private affairs (i.e.: Joan Crawford, Rock Hudson, Norma Shearer, Elia Kazan, etc..) One cannot judge other people...and their work is independent of their mistakes, choices, etc... Well.... talking about this item...I just love George Sanders' screen persona ("The Ghost & Mrs. Muir", "All About Eve", "Son Of Fury", etc..)... in spite of what my grandfather told me about him...my grandpa was born in 1916 (he died in 1996) and when he was a little kid he was in a German School in a city of the south a Chile, and George Sanders also was in it, although much older...and he told me this story about Sanders behaving cowardly, and letting a schoolmate die by drowning?...I don't remember it well, but since my grandpa knew I was very fond of classic american movie actors (since I was kid), he always told me stories about the films he saw, his fave actresses (Crawford his personal favorite), and this story about Sanders, whom he detested!!

It was made in 1933, by Warner Bros. studios, directed by William Dieterle and co-starred Paul Lukas, Frank McHugh, Glenda Farrell and Helen Vinson.
