Without reading any posts this thread at all, I just want to put in my 2 cents that Michael Curtiz is amazing. He's one of my top 10 favorite directors. Love the pacing, acting, relationships, etc, in movies I can watch over and over and never get sick of like Yankee Doodle Dandy, White Christmas, Robin Hood, We're No Angels, and Casablanca of course. I love that his hand in things is kind of invisible, like he's putting his actors in place then getting out of the way-- his style is not auteuristic like a Welles film, though there's nothing wrong with that, but I prefer "invisible" directing myself.

twinkeee-- I have to agree about the styles. I am a little bit too in love with Art Deco. Living in LA rocks because I'm surrounded by Art Deco buildings. Let's just all get an Art Deco house together! With a huge movie theater of course with a screen for every kind of film, even Cinerama!

Also from BELLS ARE RINGING: "Can he dance like FRED ASTAIRE?" Song: "It's a Perfect Relationship"

1938

Might we have a few more lines from the song please?

I love the music of that time, and I wouldn't mind visiting the 20s in a time machine or something, but I wouldn't want to live through the great depression. What am I saying? That's what I'm doing now! This thread makes me think of MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, anyone else?

Capuchin, that is brilliant! I often go as some kind of classic movie character--I've done Harpo for example. I never decide til right before i leave (I have a house full of cosumes), so you'd have to ask me later what I'm going as this year.

Very good, SIlverwolf! I was going for "The Many Adentures of Winnie the Pooh" which encompasses all three of them. You're next!

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote}I NEVER got the impression that Clift loved her. Maybe he eventually convinced himself that he did. See? That's what I mean. That's why it's so awesome-- everyone sees the film differently. That's why it's so fun. Another from the same original author is THE INNOCENTS, in which you are never quite sure what happened.

casablancalover, I adore that house! One of my favorite shows ever and one of the coolest houses, too.

When I saw the word "ambiguity" the first film I thought of was *The Heiress*. I think the film does a great job of keeping you guessing. Does he love her? Is it a con? You are never quite sure. Just when you think you're sure, they throw a curve at you to put you back on the fence. Of course it can be argued either way, but that's the fun of it.

Hint: animated

Ward Bond has lots of performances that were great but didn't last long, like the memorable bus driver in IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT

guess: actor = john wayne & #4 = McClintock

I accidentally started a thread about this same thing -- didn't see this thread -- but this is the house I love most: Swiss[/i]Tree+1960.jpg]

Could this be Richard Burton perhaps?

Ever watch a movie and think "Man, I want that house"? What are your favorite houses/castles/apartments/dwellings in movies?

Yeah I saw the sequel to ADAM'S RIBS when Spencer Tracy got drafted to the 4077th MASH and went through heck trying to get those Adam's Ribs to Korea.
