The small town girl does try acting, but her real talent is more in song and dance.

*Arsenic & Old Lace*

Edward Everett Horton in *Holiday* with Lew Ayres (Ginger's 2nd husband)

You need a spell check.

Leanox is up--

Van Heflin appeared in *Black Widow* with Ginger Rogers.

*Top Hat*

Off the top of my head--I would have said a big star like coop or Fred MacMurray-- But my research leads me to a man who, I thought belonged to Kay Francis and BD, but Stanwyck had him 5 times. George Brent is a much underrated actor, screen presence and sexy man. That says it all.

Singers who all appeared in The Marx Bros movies-- Jones--"Night at the Opera", "Day at the Races" Martin--"The Big Store" Baker--"At the Circus"

Cinerama --you win the Cujas for today--This guy is simply off everybody's radar screen. Of Course the movie was Capra's "Plantinum Blonde"-1931. Hope to play with you alot in the future. Cinerama Rick--Come on Down! Edited by: cujas on Apr 14, 2011 4:15 PM

Now you're an economist?

You're very hot-- The girl has a small town connection with a big Broadway theatre producer.

The only person I know about is the Louis Jordan issue in the *Paradine Case*--Hitch wanted Robert Newton. But that wasn't a leading man role--Of course he didn't want Peck either, but don't remember who he preferred.

This insane convicted murderer boards of bus to reach his destination. Result--kills bus driver.

Today Ginger Rogers is remembered, by the general public, as the woman who danced with Fred Astaire.-- Despite the Oscar--that's the main reason she was honored at the Kennedy Awards. In all, Astaire's stardom and art far outdistanced her success, which was limited to a deacade--the '40's, so that she remains a satelllite of Astaire.

In the 1920's, I starred in one of Broadways hottest plays. By the early 30's, I was poised for movie stardom in a Capra classic. Unfortunately I died a few days after the premiere. Ironically my co-star in my last film also died only 6 years later in an equally untimely death. Everybody remembers her, but nobody knows my name. Do You Know Me?

*Old Acquaintaince* nw: pants

I think the "Upscale Luxury Customers" are definitely people who have money to burn and who buy an assortment of luxury items. I definitely don't have money to burn, don't buy an assortment of luxury items--yet I find the money to buy a number of the items that TCM promotes--i. e. books and videos. Perhaps--they are targeting the wrong target audience--they certainly don't know who I am. How many of you out their are 1/4 or 1/2 a millionaire?--that target audience must be out there in the dark somewhere. Edited by: cujas on Apr 13, 2011 6:55 PM

*His Girl Friday*

Go for Carl Wilson singing "Kokomo" instead.

To make matters worse, I was forcee (forced) to watch Rohmer as part of my French curriculum--Truffaut he ain't. Edited by: cujas on Apr 13, 2011 6:37 PM

Believe or not, I just got into Sam Fuller last week. Next: A small town girl wants to go on the Broadway stage.

Hitch didn't want Joel McCrea for *Foreign Correspondent*--he wanted Gary Cooper. (Also he didn't want Bob Cummings for *Saboteur*--think he wanted Coop for that too).

I should add that the insane asylum is a prison for the criminally insane--so the young man is not only mentally ill but has also comitted a murder.

Yeah--and apparently the Producer/Director for "Mr. Ed" was also Clint Eastwood's mentor. Mudskipper's turn-- Edited by: cujas on Apr 13, 2011 6:14 PM
