I believe that a beefcake photo should be provided as a visual aid for any fat man you recommend.

I caught these two on TCM recently: The 1950 Born to Be Bad which I have read about, but had never seen. I thought it was a lot of fun and Joan is always worth watching. I did wonder while viewing if she could have played Eve? Joan is a bit older than Anne Baxter but can be convincingly younger. In several scenes she actually reminded me of Anne.
The other was The Tender Trap for perhaps the fourth or fifth time. This viewing really made me recall my first viewing which must have been in the early 1970s. I remember being completely fascinated with Frank and his job, his clothes, I wanted to live in the fabulous apartment and all the girls coming and going, called "tomatoes" intrigued me. I did make it to NYC by the early 1980s but no pad like Frank's was available on my budget. As I often do after multiple viewings, I started to gaze out the window of his apartment, and realized that he lived in the same neighborhood as Dorothy McGuire in Gentlemen's Agreement, maybe even the same block.
THE GLASS KEY was a very good noir, the best of the Ladd-Lake pairings, better than THE BLUE DAHLIA.

I haven't read any of the posts and I have no idea who Dub Taylor is. I found the title of the thread so forbidding that I have most willingly eschewed same. Sometimes we need to keep life simple.
I'm not complaining, Just wanted to post something. I may be experiencing compulsive posting behavours which I'm thinking might be an affliction that we all might have at a time or other. It's short lived much to my delight and to the delight of everyone else. Actually I like the title. I'm a great fan of alliteration as well as cleverly conceived phraseology (excuse me ... crazeology [alliteration can be addictive]).

Ray Milland and Frankie Avalon in Panic in Year Zero! (1962)
James Stewart and Fabian in Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962)
+Was Fabian in MR. HOBBS? I know he was in a different Stewart film.

I am enjoying Annette O'Toole introducing the movies this week. At least I saw her last night and tonight. Doing a great job. Such a classy lady. Thanks for having her on.
A little bit TOO classy for my taste.

James Stewart with Jeanette MacDonald in Rose Marie (1936)
No. The other two are in the same category as Bobby Rydell. This should now be easy. Who did Stewart and Milland work with?
-
Are we looking for one name? So far, I've linked Dick Van Dyke and a young Bobby Rydell - and James Stewart with Bobby Rydell, but not a film... an ABC variety show. Nothing else yet.
Van Dyke and Rydell in BYE BYE BIRDIE is correct.. With whom are Stewart and Milland linked?

The film was released in 1977, and I liked it. Ali had a natural acting style, and it didn't hurt that he was playing himself.
The movie was based on his 1975 autobiography "The Greatest: My Own Story."
The title song -- "The Greatest Love of All" by Michael Masser and Linda Creed -- was performed by George Benson. But the song became a megahit for Whitney Houston in 1985.
The movie's screenplay was written by the onetime blacklisted writer Ring Lardner, Jr., son of the great sports journalist Ring Lardner. The younger Lardner won the 1970 Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for "M*A*S*H."
I saw a long line of people waiting to get into a theatre in ''77 on 86th Street in NYC. I looked at the marquis, and mistakenly thought they were in line to see THE GREATEST. I later learned that they were in line for the opening of STAR WARS, which I had not yet heard of

Wrong angle. Each of the three worked with an actor of approximately the same age from Philly.
Hint: The three actors from Philly were all young.

I think about you every holiday season... whenever I don't receive a gift.
I began with the film It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and only one of the leads, Lionel Barrymore, is from Philadelphia. The rest are from all over.
Then Rope (1948) has Joan Chandler from Butler, Pa.
A random selection of just a few remaining Stewart films reveals no (prominent) Philadelphia or Pa. born cast members.
That's the angle I'm working, and I haven't checked much deeper.

I couldn't possibly date myself.
I'm not my type.
As I also could never be "self employed", as I couldn't bear to have such an incompetent, lazy bum working for me, and I would never wish to work for such a jerk!
Apologies to Groucho Marx.

I, though, am into self-aggrandizement.

Correct, DGF.

I disagree with that assessment, but you can't have any salute to Hackman without it as it was the movie that propelled him to "stardom". Before that, most everybody had never heard of him.
Sure, there were film appearances before it, but nothing that most people took much notice of. I mean, I saw BONNIE AND CLYDE when it came out, and a few times at theaters. But when I saw THE FRENCH CONNECTION a few years later, I didn't( and likely nobody else) jump out of my seat and yell, "There's that guy from BONNIE AND CLYDE!"

Several might have jumped out of their seat and left the theatre.

Hopefully not THE FRENCH CONNECTION, a drastically overrated film.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. Streisand and Segal had great chemistry. I'm surprised they never worked together again.

How about every "Columbo" episode that was?
We see the perp carry out their murderous plans very early on and thus know from the get-go the how's and why's of it.
But what the perp NEVER knows until it's too late is that that rumpled little LAPD homicide detective with the scratchy NYC-accented voice and the lazy eye is a HECK of a lot smarter than he looks!
(...okay, sorry...that's TV series not a movie...never mind)
Columbo's wife was a "big fan" of at least half the perps that he nails.
