Presumably one of him afterward is a smile on the shark. You get the ding for identifying him.

She's in a baaad place: ] Wait a minute! This was supposed to go in that other fabulous face thread! Oh, I'm so confused. Edited by: slaytonf on Jan 26, 2013 11:20 AM

Dang! you beat me to Zorro! I was going to cheer it's long-awaited appearance on TCM.

I'll be sure to set my recorder.

I haven't checked in on this thread in a few days, because, as you see, I was losing interest in it. But now I have seen your terrific, or terrorific, set of jokes. It reminded me of the one joke I have heard of Jaguars, and that is, you should only buy one about five to seven years old, that way you could be sure by then the entire wiring system had been replaced. But the E-Type Jaguars are still my car, especially the ones with the oval chrome bumpers. Rag top is a bonus, but not necessary. As for handling, I couldn't say, except that the way the one in How to Steal a Million tears around a traffic circle, it seem the rear end is light. Yes?

>Dargo2 sez: >replica Porsche 550 Spyder, also one beautiful car that not only is a blast to drive, but probably garners more appreciative looks and thumbs up from the public than even an E-Type would) Oh! Sacrilege!

I hope that means it's really her. I've been taken in before. This I'm more sure of: ]

You got her!

I have never seen people strive so hard to force credit on someone else. In the meantime: down for editing. stay tuned. Edited by: slaytonf on Jan 25, 2013 11:06 PM OK, now: ] Edited by: slaytonf on Jan 25, 2013 11:13 PM

Leslie Caron. Nope, I'm wrong, it is Miss Craig. Edited by: slaytonf on Jan 25, 2013 11:01 PM

Hard to beat that Beuatiful Danube. There is a musical interlude in The Yearling which, to my mind, equals it. It depicts the boy, his deer, and a herd of wild deer gamboling through the Florida cypress forests.

I didn't see your post, so as Mr. Dabb says, the dings are yours.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! That's it!

Entirely appropriate. She was a first class lady. So let's have the name and the role.

Is it? Um, golly, that wasn't who I thought it was. This was a famous role for her.

I agree the two sets of actors couldn't have switched movies. And that line about the flare stain is something I always wait for when I watch it. I watched the remake out of curiosity, for about two minutes, then I was overcome with overwhelming indifference.

If you still want a response to your pic, unless you count that coy response from the Kid, it looks like Janet Leigh. Here's a sultry sylph: ]

Huh? Wha-? Is this the post-bellum fabulous face thread? Here's a former campaigner: ] More of a TV star, but he was in some big movies.

The question was: >Can you think of any other modern heist films that don't have the usual violence, explosions, etc.? That is what I was responding to. The actors in Thomas Crown have a great deal of charisma. Despite the script, which definitely is better than How to Steal, unless you have the firepower of McQueen and Dunaway, the movie would not succeed. If you want to discount Thomas Crown because is is not a pure headliner vehicle, or the characters in it are not admirable, well, that's a different discussion.

Do you know the date and time it was on?

Many times, on an actor's birthday, TCM will run a morning, or day-long mini-festival of thier films. This can include character actors.

Stop! Stop! Ha! Ha! No, no more! Ha! Ha! Ha! You're killing me! Ha! Ha! Ha! Is there a Lucas light bulb joke?

I have a similar problem. Do you have Time Warner Cable? Tech support has told me to get a new cable box.

>Dothery: > that glorious sports car In this and other threads discussing How to Steal a Million, mention has often been made about that sports car, but incomprehensibly, no one has named it. Is it because nobody knows what it is? Well, I will tell you, becasue it is the sexiest car ever designed by the company with about the sexiest cars overall in the history of cars. It is the Jaguar E-Type, 1965 convertible. Doubless there are carheads (or do they call themselves gearheads?) with much more detailed information. I don't know how well it handled, I don't know how reliable it was, but I do know that it is the only car that I ever positively desired to own, if not a Bugatti from the 20s or 30s.

Add to the list, Female, in which a owner of an automobile corporation (Ruth Chatterton), who has a unique talent for success in the teeth of the depression, gives up control of it to an engineer (George Brent) with absolutely zero experience in management and marketing, and who has captured her heart with rudeness, insults, and abuse. !.
