Hey y’all! I have been searching for the title of a movie. It’s a comedy, set in the 30’s I think. It’s about an old woman who is an alcoholic and practically homeless. Her daughter has been in Europe in boarding school for years and thinks her mother is a wealthy member of society. The daughter becomes engaged to a prince and is returning home. The mother begs the local mob leader to help her. The whole neighborhood gets involved in this farce to convince the daughter, prince and King that the daughter comes from a rich connected family. This movie is so funny, especially the right hand man to the Mob leader. Thanks in advance! 🥰
Lady For A Day starring May Robson. as Apple Annie. Frank Capra directed the film. He did a remake Pocket Full Of Miracles starring Bette Davis in the early 1960's. Hope that helps.

Yes. William Frawley had to leave My Three Sons because his health was failing. He had a stroke, he could still walk and talk but was ill. He died a year after leaving the show. He loved the show and resented having to leave. when William Demarest replaced him, it was adding insult to injury., Frawley it's been said, hated William Demarest before he replaced Frawley. It's only a guess on my part, but I think there was rivalry for roles. Both character actors most probably were in competion for roles during their film careers. Frawley was a difficult man, an alcoholic, a misogynist, an anti-semite and was a gruff grump., ., At any rate, good work and it's your turn Miles

Is it "King Of The Underworld" with Humphrey Bogart and Kay Francis?
Miles, it's your thread

Correct. Cary Grant and Ingrid Berman in Notorious. It's your thread Fausterlitz

Ha, never understood that corny line in the first place, still don't but I loved Spin and Marty. Wish it would be in re-runs and the original Mickey Mouse Club.

This actor was on a very successful tv show in the classic time period. Poor health forced his departure from the show and he was very unhappy about it. To make matters worse for him, he was replaced by an actor he couldn't stand. 2 actors and the tv show ???

Bette Davis was a huge fan and modeled herself on her in her early career. I don't know what R.O. about her, but I remembered him liking "Female."
I agree Leighcat. I don't know what RO said about her and I also remember him liking Female. I'd say that Bette modeling herself after Chatterton was high praise.

Then read the thread over. Dargo already corrected the poster and then the post I corrected. that's twice. It's not pleasurable correcting posters but when they keep making the same mistake over and over it warrants a correction.

I find that the films I saw in childhood that I think hold up well are the ones that give me many of my fondest move watching feelings.
Of course, I've seen a great many other films since then that I admire, as well. But in many instances it's the film favourites I first saw as a kid on TV that seem to hold a special place in my heart. They are like comfort food.
That is a wonderful post Tom and so true. Without being gushy, very touching and very meaningful

Although this actress had worked with Hitch before, she was uncomfortable and insecure while filming. Her co-star who had a reputation of sometimes being withdrawn was helpful, coaching and rehearsing with the actress. They became lifelong friends after this. 2 Stars and what Hitchcock film ???

James, too bad if you don't like it. The poster was already corrected. He/she spelled Osborne incorrectly, there is no U in Osborne. They spelled it again with a U a 2nd time. What's to be confused about? Once was bad enough, but again in just a few hours, Not good.

Thanks Arsan for reminding me.Already posted a list of classic era films but forgot Christmas in Connecticut. Another one I've been watching since childhood. Must have seen this one at least 30 times over the years and I still love it.

Even the late TCM host Robert Osbourne wasn't impressed with her acting skills.
Would you PLEASE spell Robert Osborne correctly. Thank You. Most around here loved him and it's disrepectful to him and us to continue to spell his name incorrectly

We have celebrated the greatest entertainers in Hollywood and even chuckled at the worst films ever directed. How about a TCM tribute dedicated to some of the worst actors of the Golden Age ?
Here's my short list of some of a number of actors/actresses from the Golden Age who should never have been afforded a screen test.
1. Ruth Chatterton
2. Jayne Mansfield
3. Guy Madison
4. Lupe Velez
5. Nat King Cole
6. Farley Granger
7. Van Heflin
8. Troy Donahue
9. James Dean
10. Jane Russell
Please provide other nominees for this ever expanding list and there far more we can pin point today!
I disagree strongly with half your list. I realize it's all a matter of opinion, however, no way was Ruth Chatterton, Farley Granger,Van Heflin, James Dean, Jane Russell "bad actors". Thar's half of your strange choices for bad actors. Van Heflin? You've got to be kidding there.You need to Re-watch some of the movies they've been in. While I agree about George Raft, he's actually pretty effective in the movie Red Light out to avenge his brother's murder.

Next: Which actor and film was Hitchcock referring to here?
"I dropped [the factory scene] from the final version because the film was too long. Aside from that, I wasn't too happy with the way ________________ played it. As you know, he's a "method" actor, and he found it hard to just give me one of those neutral looks I needed to cut from his point of view."
The method actor part of the clue, makes me think of Paul Newman and Torn Curtain ??

Faron Young I believe sings the version you are looking for.

It seems like a cut that would be low maintenance while you had the cut, but you would perhaps have to get haircuts more frequently (at least I would because my hair grows really fast) to keep the shape. However, it seems like it would grow out nicely.
It did, this guy was so talented, best make-up also. I got tons of compliments. I've always had long hair, still do but it was fun and so different for me to have that cut. Of course, hard not to look great when you're in your 20's LOL

I might be the only one who liked him in What About Bob? Cool to see his first appearance on film in The Graduate though.
He was great in What About Bob? Love that movie anyway, it's hilarious.

I might be in the minority, but I kind of liked Jane's shag haircut in Klute. I thought it was a cool haircut and trendy for 1971. I would never cut my hair like that, I just don't have the right aesthetic to carry it off. But I thought Jane was working it and I loved her in that film. I thought Klute was excellent.
I agree, thought Klute was excellent. Only once did I have much shorter hair and that was when a friend got me an appointment with a photographer/make-up artist in NY who had done Cosmo covers. He cut my hair in a shag and it looked great. Problem was I couldn't afford to go to him again and no one could cut it that way so I let it grow out. However, for those few months I had that cut I loved it.

Well, here's the way I feel about this sort'a thing, ladies.
Just as long as I can find a way to insert my attempts at humor into threads, I don't really care if the threads here in the General Discussion forum ask for a freakin' list of things or NOT!!!
(...and besides, you sure wouldn't want me doin' this in the Games & Trivia forum, now would YOU?!!!) LOL
LOL, nah, wouldn't want that. We already had that pleasure years ago Dargo. ( just teasing, you're welcome over there any old time) If it becomes a trend we'll have that many more threads pushing down discussions of films. Keep the threads seperate.

Hope not. Once in awhile if someone wants to post a question it's one thing, hope it's not a trend.
