[Do You Know Me?]

It's not Elizabeth Taylor -

 

I signed a unique three-film contract with a major studio that gave me script approval, promised I would only work in films directed by three top directors, and gave me freedom to work at another studio.

[Do You Know Me?]

The only consolation for not having won those (competitive) Oscars is that she was in good company - Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, Barbara Stanwyck to name a few of the geniuses who were nominated but didn't win...

 

Here's mine:

 

I went into the theater at an early age and debuted in film while still young.

[name the movie]

Well, it's not *Death Takes a Holiday* - death is not on a holiday in this one! Here's more...

 

Things do not go according to plan. The host turns up dead early in the game and it?s starting to look like the guests are in an Agatha Christie situation.

[Ann Hathaway to Play Judy Garland]

Chip - The remakes you mention, the good ones, were done decades ago. My own reaction to the Streisand/Kristofferson *A Star is Born* wasn't as generous as yours, I admit (tho Barbra can sing). But what recent re-makes hold up? *Father of the Bride* (1991) w/Steve Martin and Diane Keaton comes to mind...and not in a good way...

[I Confess I Liked It]

Brando, Dean and Clift are an interesting trio in terms of how their lives played out and their legacies. Brando lived long, had (serious) ups and (serious) downs in his career, seemed to have a bad last several years with family tragedy and all, possibly lost his way (though who knows) - but his legend endures in the film world. Deservedly so, when he was good he was phenomenal. James Dean...three movies in his early 20's, played an outsider in all three and thus established an image as a beautiful rebel in the oppressively conformist 50's. He is interesting and charismatic and I think he's talented - but what his future would have been, no will ever know. Montgomery Clift - others have described his talent better than I ever could - to me, brilliant, beautiful (and I don't mean his face), subtle, moving. He didn't have the mass-appeal of Dean - let's face it, Dean had teen idol appeal as well as an acting gift - but maybe I'm quibbling.

 

I mentioned in an earlier post here that I'd just heard James Franco being interviewed and talking about his idols - Brando, Clift and Dean. That today's generation of young, gifted actors is taking cues from Montgomery Clift is maybe enough. That and the treasure of his films.

[I Confess I Liked It]

It's been reported that James Dean idolized Clift to the point of calling him just to hear his voice. And what an expressive voice it was.

[Ann Hathaway to Play Judy Garland]

Yikes!

Update: Noticed on TCM's schedule tonight a very big clue in the John Barrymore to Billy Bob Thornton connection.

Good reasoning...it isn't *Madame Bovary*

 

The clue I edited out was for another thread ("name the movie") - my sincere apologies - hope it didn't mislead anyone. Will post all clues plus a new one when I come back.
