Sorry, but I have to go - way too sleepy. I don't know why I even guessed...

Good story, mongo. I have often wondered why certain select names are apparently 'reserved' indefinitely.
Is it "Portrait of Jennie"? (before feaito guesses it!)

Wow. My warmest thanks to all of you guys. It was a great day!

Bob Cummings and Norman Lloyd in Saboteur?

Son of Flubber?

How ironic this should be the top topic this morning, as I have an update: I am 39 today. But thankfully unable to change my name.
Yeah age ain't nothin but a number especially in this medium. I go for content.
It is kinda nice to have an idea of who your talking to but I don't make that a 'deciding' or 'rule-out' factor.

I've noticed these sub-stellar romantic chemistries before, and I'm not sure it's all a casting flaw. Other factors (I think) include poor direction on the love angle. Of the films you mention, only George Cukor (My Fair Lady) had some experience in the primarily romantic genre - and they were few. Good direction would have brought out the 'animal attraction' if you will - or at least detected the lack thereof on the dailies during filming.
And I know what you mean about Grace Kelly. She was way too pristine to come across as the least bit "wanton". As far as Audrey Hepburn, her choice of characters seemed too naive and flippant to be considered sexual (with the possible exception of "Sabrina").
Another consideration is that perhaps the screenplay called for a somewhat one-sided attraction, as I suspected in "To Catch a Thief".

Ha! Good attitude, venerados! *S*

Stella, I didn't realize how whiney I was 'til we started this topic! But even though I gripe a lot, I wouldn't have this crowd (with all our idiosyncrasies) any other way!
I'll even stifle my impulse to use *LOL* since it gets on Antar's nerves...

I think the Deanna Durbin rendition is still in my mind from a movie yesterday, but I'll go with "Ave Maria"..
-
I assumed it was shown here on TCM. After failing to find it on the schedule, I made a "Request-A-Movie" entry. They'll e-me when it airs. Thanks!

Man, never before has reading clues made me want to see a movie this bad!

It's always hard for me to imagine celebrities kicked back with a remote - they're just alwyas so public.. But it's always cool to hear what they like to do in their 'down time'.

That is great news about the stamp! Personally, I'm partial to Tracy's later works, because those are the ones I was first exposed to. A still of him from "The Old Man and the Sea" would be great - complete with the boat. (I get tired of the publicity stills shot in the studios.)

The Elder boys, "The Sons of Katie Elder".
-
I never knew Gore claimed that! Interesting...

Giving you guys grievances is like giving the tykes at the kiddie table the Waterford.
Nick, I think the most irritating thing about the aforementioned poster is the fact he used so many asterisks, brackets and parentheses. He does have a wealth of knowledge, but it was like reading through psychedelia!

I saw this just this year on the Bio Channel - it was Tommy Lee Jones.

Oh, hush! Now you're patronizing me! *grin*

Okay, I'll start since I'm feeling a bit "frisky"...
I think it's irritating when people come back to correct a little typo. I usually missed it in the first place, and it takes up space on the thread.

The Corn is Green?

Well, cinemetal, my handle says it all. I'm 38, female (gal), from St. Louis (stl), Missouri, USA. Although the "l" looks like an "I" - so I answer to stigal, stig.. you name it.
I enjoy your posts. You have competence in a broad gamut of films and you write very well.
Welcome aboard.

Thanks minatonga. I'll be on the lookout for the latter intro, as it still doesn't ring a bell!

I just got back sandy. Need more clues.
"For the Boys"?
Have a Very Legal Christmas Everyone!

I think I better have my lawyer look at it before I accept.
