All of their voices were dubbed in those films?

Charlie, Cinesage and pgms 80, thanks for the feedback!

Because all of them were European or Asiatic (Tamba).

Wild guess, were those Bond films, their first American/English Speaking films?

Were they remade for TV also? And then made into TV series?

"The Loved One"?

They both were based upon famous Broadway plays and later were remade as musicals?

Jeff Chandler?

Devine and Noonan in the 1937 and 1954 versions, respectively, of "A Star is Born" and Kelly in "Cover Girl" and "Xanadu"; Lattanzi played the young Danny McGuire in "Xanadu". "Xanadu" borrowed elements, not only from "Cover Girl" (1944), but also from "Down to Earth" (1947). Don't you agree? And Mr. Jordan, the character from "Down to Earth", was originated in "Here Comes Mr. Jordan". And "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" was remade as "Heaven Can Wait" in 1978, using the same title as the 1943 Classic Lubistch film.

They all played characters named Danny Mc.Guire?

Has anybody bought this recently released Box Set, that includes "Only Angels Have Wings", "His Girl Friday", "Talk of the Town", "The Awful Truth" and "Holiday"? All these films, minus "Holiday", have been individually released by Sony-Columbia previously and I own all of them. "Only Angels Have Wings" and "His Girl Friday", are among the first classic films released by Sony, with the "A" treatment, truly restored, remastered in high definition; excellent quality! On the other hand, "Talk of the Town" and especially "The Awful Truth", were released much later and its transfers are of low/uneven quality; very different from the quality of the first Classics released by Sony-Columbia. So my question is: Are the prints of "The Awful Truth" and "Talk of the Town" included in this set, of a much better quality than the ones previously released individually? Or did Sony use the same transfers? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

After reading all kinds of opinions and experiences concerning DVD recording, copying, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD Ram, etc., in forums, chats et al, I've come to the conclusion that I'll stick to VHS for copying from TV, especially with the new technologies of HD and Blue Ray DVDs. And thanks for the good hopes Johnny, my cousin will do all he can to save them. Maybe these DVDs can be played only in the DVD in which they were copied. Who knows?

Alix, I have both books on my Wish List! Don't forget to tell us about these two books, please.

Marlene Dietrich?

Little by little some Paramount Pre-Code titles have been showing up on DVD: "Love Me Tonight", "Design for Living", "Trouble in Paradise", "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", "I'm No Angel", "Night After Night", "The Sign of the Cross", etc.. and we hope that there are more on the way! I have been obtaining some obscure Paramount titles from a collector who lives in Venezuela; sadly some of the DVD-R he recorded the films on, which he sent to me in 2004, are not playing anymore (most notably "The Big Pond" (1930), "One Hour With You" (1932)) and the ten DVDs he sent to me this month, all have problems. I don't know if it's the software he uses or the quality of the discs, by the films tend to freeze....and I was expecting them with much anticipation!! (Imagine, among the films included are: "Sweetie" (1929), "Pointed Heels" (1929), "The Dance of Life" (1929), "Follow Thru" (1930), "High, Wide and Handsome" (1937), "Honey" (1930), "Moulin Rouge" (1934), "In Caliente" (1935), et al) . I passed them all to a cousin of mine, who knows a lot about softwares, copying films, etc., to see if he can "save" them and copy the features to new discs. I don't want to play some of the other films on DVD-R's he sent to me, which played OK when I first got them in 2004, like "The Love Parade", "Playboy of Paris", "Monte Carlo", etc., maybe they will also have problems!

Ronald Reagan

I'm thinking also of Sophia Loren who has been married only to Producer Carlo Ponti and Grace Kelly who was married all her life to Princess Rainier Grimaldi of Monaco.

Could one be Joanne Woodward?

Lana Turner

"The Children's Hour" - James Garner

That was the one Tracey!!! I was going mad thinking of the film, after realizing "Edward My Son" wasn't the one.

I have a feeling that it might be "Edward My Son", which was finally released in 1949 with Spencer Tracy and Deborah Kerr. I recall that Ann Harding was originally cast for the the female lead. I cannot remember the leading man.

M?lanie, My two favorite numbers from "Kiss Me Kate" are the same as yours: "Too Darn Hot" with Ann Miller and the final number, the showstopper "From This Moment On", featuring Ann Miller, Bobby Van, Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse, Carol Haney and Jeanne Coyne. Sometimes I've watched the latter alone, many times. I just can't get enough!! And one of my favorite love songs, "So In Love" is from this film too. Did you know that "From this Moment On" does not belong to the score of the Broadway Show "Kiss Me Kate", it's from another Cole Porter Show and was included specially for the 1953 film version. The other number I mentioned "I'll be Hard to Handle" is from the movie "Lovely To Look At" (the title of a song included in the film too), a remake of the Astaire-Rogers' movie "Roberta". It also features "I Won't Dance" performed by Marge and Gower Champion, who also dance "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". The score of this film does not include "Let's Begin", which is featured in Roberta, but includes "You're Devastating" and "The Touch of Your Hand", which were not featured in "Roberta". As I said, it should be released on DVD! Some other favorite musical numbers are the haunting/wondrous "Dancing in the Dark" with Cyd and Fred from "The Bandwagon" and the awesome "Girl Hunt" ballet from the same film; "The Red Blues", "All of You" and specially the impressing "The Ritz Rock and Roll", from the film "Silk Stockings" are favorites too!! Another favorite song is "I Love You Samantha" from "High Society". I also love the number "Now You Has Jazz" with Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. As you see I'm a fan of Cole Porter's music. M?lanie, Have you seen Rita Hayworth's films "Cover Girl", "You Were Never Lovelier" and "You'll Never Get Rich"? They include some excellent numbers and songs by Jerome Kern/ Cole Porter, such as "Long Ago and Far Away", "I'm Old Fashioned", "Dearly Beloved", "So Near and Yet So Far", "Dream Dancing"

"I'll Cry Tomorrow" is another good one.

"Kiss Me Kate" ia arguably Kathryn Grayson's best film and one of my very, very favorite musicals!! I wish "Lovely to Look at" with her, Howard Keel and excellent numbers by Marge & Gower Champion plus Ann Miller's rendition of "I'll be Hard to Handle" could also be available on DVD. MacDonald is also one of my favorites and "Love Me Tonight" is simply one of the best musicals of all-time!
