The Lady Eve

LiliVS - we do think a lot alike - and your notion of having Mr. Grant and Mr. Stewart at your feet brought to mind the wonderful predicament Jean Arthur found herself in when she had to choose between Cary Grant and Ronald Colman in *The Talk of the Town*. A lot of people don't like Peppard in *Tiffany's*, but I think he was the right one for the role and I think he was good in it. So squeaky-clean handsome!

HALE again? I think we're in a do-over loop... how about Celia and Don

nevermind - I'll do this another day...

Delete - mistake

Fritz Lang directed *The Blue Gardenia* with *Anne Baxter*

Vittimizarre, Phil - Vic Polizos in *Prizzi's Honor*

I was a little past high school in '72 and thought Michael was pretty cool myself. As to Diane Keaton, Woody Allen totally agrees with you. TCM is showing a clip of Woody talking about her versatility and the fact that *Annie Hall* was a showcase of her talent. The proof is the long, long career she's managed to carve out for herself. Not many have been able to do that.

So sorry - will not do it again. Racine, Ned - William Hurt in *Body Heat*

Police Desk Sergeant - Edward McNamara in *The Devil and Miss Jones* (just ended)

Eddie Albert was in *The Roots of Heaven* with *Juliette Greco*

Moorehead, Ginnie - Shirley MacLaine in *Some Came Running*

Kong, Major T.J. "King" - Slim Pickens in *Dr. Strangelove...*

Iselin, Sen. John - James Gregory in *The Manchurian Candidate* (1962)

Felicie - played by Mila Parely in *La Belle et la Bete*

I think *Caged Fury* could be it. I have literally been trying to locate the title of this film for decades. I now see that it's available in VHS format for under $20. Since my DVD player also has VHS, it would be worth it to me to find out if this is the one. Thanks for contacting me. You know your movies. Message was edited by: theladyeve

Maria Casares was in *Les Enfants du Paradis* or *Children of Paradise* also starring the mysterious *Arletty*

My first thought was *Laura* - Laura, who's obviously got some money (though she works) returns from a weekend in the mountains or woods or at a lake to find out she's dead!?! - Is it *Laura* ?

Jean Marais was the most magnificent beast ever in *La Belle et la Bete* (Beauty and the Beast) directed by *Jean Cocteau*

I've always wanted to be Marlene Dietrich for a day (she has some pretty spectacular costumes herself). It would be one of the von Sternberg collaborations - and I'm thinking it would have to be *Blonde Venus* strictly because of Cary Grant. That frizzy wig and the gorilla suit would have to go - and I would stick with Cary in the end. On the other hand, to be Audrey Hepburn in *Breakfast at Tiffany's* would be delicious...

Gerard Depardieu appeared in *Les temps qui changent* (Changing Times) with *Catherine Deneuve*

Cammareri, Johnny - Danny Aiello in *Moonstruck*

Visualfeast, you are *right* - it is *Chinatown*, best neo-noir ever, in my humble opinion. The connection for MilesArcher,of course, was that John Huston directed *The Maltese Falcon* and plays the villain in *Chinatown*. Congratulations... VF, the thread is YOURS!

MilesArcher, are you there? I probably was too vague in my last post: *about a private eye who manages to unravel a scandal but in doing so sets in motion events that lead to more than one death. Along the way he falls in love with a murder victim's wife* In addition, the PI in this story often misreads what's actually going on. Tho he seems to consider himself pretty sharp, he doesn't really understand the complexity of the situation he's gotten into: he's in over his head and unwittingly complicates matters. In the end, this brings about the demise of the woman he fell for. Also, I'm guessing from your user name that you're a fan of *The Maltese Falcon*. There's a connection btw that movie and this one...

I'm replying to myself (?) because I just remembered *Betty Hutton* - she always makes me smile - I'm thinking of *Annie, Get Your Gun* and *The Miracle of Morgan's Creek*.

This thread is taking some great turns - going from what film we'd like to permanently walk into, to what house or location in what film, and now - with what leading man (or lady) in what movie we'd like to be...and on that note...in addition to Mr. McQeen (whom I've inserted into *Breakfast at Tiffany's* but would also like to join in *The Thomas Crown Affair* ) and just about anything with Cary Grant: *Gary Cooper* in *Morocco* (with the added plus of getting to be Marlene Dietrich) *Ronald Colman* in *Lost Horizon* (and others) *Tyrone Power* in any movie up thru *A Yank in the RAF* *La Bete* in *La Belle et la Bete* (Jean Marais in costume) *Joel McCrea* in *The Palm Beach Story* and *Foreign Correspondent* *Anton Walbrook* in *The Red Shoes* *Ralph Meeker* in *Kiss Me Deadly* *Richard Burton* in *The Night of the Iguana* *Paul Newman* in *Butch Cassidy* (but, as with Mr. Grant, in just about anything) *Billy Dee Williams* in *Lady Sings the Blues* that's the short list - next...
