Talking about Warner Bros., Ann Sheridan is listed as having a cameo as a prostitute in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and I watched the movie carefully on DVD and never saw her. I think her footage was not used, because there are stills of her dressed for that film.
Regarding Bob Montgomery's participation in "The Single Standard", in the excellent website"earlofhollywood.com", which is dedicated to his memory and career, it is stated in his filmography that although this film is listed in many RM filmographies, his appearence in it is questionable.

Welcome back Dan and keep it going! Great piece of information!

I have it taped from TCM. I hadn't seen any Marion film at all. This is my first one. I have also on tape "Polly of the Circus", "Blondie of the Follies", "Hollywood Revue", "Peg O' My Heart" and "The Patsy", all from TCM, and have not watched them yet!
Today I watched "Nanny McPhee" a delightful all-Family Comedy. Last Night I watched "School of Rock", an amusing comedy starring Jack Black. Also watched "Lie With Me" and "21 Grams", the latter and excellent film, but not my kind of movie.

I watched "Marianne" (1929), the talkie version, not the Silent version shot at the same time. Marion Davies demonstrates she was a skilled comedienne and works very well with Lawrence Gray. Good songs, good comedy, excellent send-ups (by Davies) of Bernhardt and Chevalier. Anyone seen the Silent Version?

Thanks for the info. Be sure to check Muni's performance in "Scarface" (1932) too.

I watched the great Precoder "Central Airport", "That's Entertainment" for the nth time and I'm currently watching chapter 10 of the I Claudius BBC TV Series.

Last night I watched "Sweetie", an early Paramount musical (1929) starring Nancy Carroll, Helen Kane, Stanley Smith and Jack Oakie. It's the first time I watch Ms. Carroll onscreen and although her part did not require much, she's charming and pretty. Miss Kane (whom I also watch for the first time onscreen) is vivacious and funny with her unique singing style and makes a good match with Oakie. Stanley Smith pretty much plays a similar role than the one he played in "Good News". This film was remade in 1936 as "Collegiate" and its story had been filmed twice in the Silent Era.

Sounds like something that could have been said by a character from "Gentleman's Agreement"..... maybe June Havoc?

Mary Boland in "The Women"
-
Peter Falk in "The Cheap Detective"

Dracula (1931)?
-
I think it maybe "La Strada"
Anthony Quinn (Lust for Life)
Giulietta Masina (Le Notti di Cabiria)
Richard Basehart (Moby Dick)

Great quotes Jack! What about this quote of hers from "Mildred Pierce": "Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young." I have always loved it!

Sandy I wrote you a private message

Sandy,
I got it from a Venezuelan Collector who in turn obtained the film from an American Collector. It was taped from TCM and it's missing the final scene (the "Football" number) which was shot in two-color Technicolor. TCM provided Stills and Subtitles instead, to explain the ending. I understand that the "Good News" (1947) DVD includes as Extras, the two only full-scale numbers from the 1930 version: "Varsity Drag" and "Good News".

I watched "Good News" for the first time in my life and it's much better than I expected. I loved Bessie Love and Gus Shy's characters. Penny Singleton is a bundle of energy and vitality in the film's two full-scale numbers.
I re-watched "Anthony Adverse". I like this film!
-
I saw "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" and the Campy "I saw What You Did".
-
BTW Jack, as far as I can remember, the song belongs to Kim Carness not to Blondie

She was an excellent actress and had a very "intriguing" quality; I've seen only a few of her films: "Street Scene", "Fury", "Dead End", "Sabotage", "Les Miserables", "Damien: Omen II" and the ultra-campy-but-nevertheless-entertaining TV Film "Death at Love House" aka as "The Shrine of Lorna Love". She is simply magnificent in "Street Scene", "Fury" and "Dead Scene", social documets of its times.
Sadly, most of her films of the first half of the 1930s, were made at her home Studio then, Paramount, whose rights belong now to Universal, and which haven't been aired on TV for ages, nor have they been released on VHS or DVD. Let's pray that one day there will be a Sylvia Sidney Collection of those 1930s Paramounts ("Confessions of a Coed", "Merrily We Go to Hell", "Thirty Day Princess", "An American Tragedy", "City Streets", "Pick-Up" et al)

Lime would be Michael Rennie in "The Third Man" TV Series
-
I think it's "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
Lama is Sam Jaffe "Lost Horizon"
2-E is Pat Neal in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
I'm figuring out Lime...

Thanks Mongo.

Sad to hear that Ford, then your movie must be Mrs. Mike as other posters have said. I really hope you can get it.
As for "The Howards of Virginia", I liked it in spite of Cary's aparent miscasting. When I saw it I did not think his acting was bad, just an untypical role for him.

Hi Mongo,
I wonder if you could give me some info on character actress Rose Dione, best remembered for her role of Madame Tetrallini, the good lady who looks after the "Freaks" of Tod Browning's 1932 landmark film? Thanks in advance.
Your candidate for most over-rated movie?

From my own personal experience: "Last Tango in Paris", I loathed it.
