Good thing she had a sense of humo(u)r, eh Tom?!
(...I sometimes wonder if that isn't of dwindling economy in these modern times) LOL
-
Clowns are evil, but then, why state the obvious?
Okay Tom, in effort to help rid yourself of these coulrophobic reactions, might I suggest the next time you happen to encounter one of these people, you just take the same approach as that kid who(though probably apocryphally) once stood up to and told a rather famous clown on a nationally televised program to "Cram it!" ?
-
It's been difficult for me since to watch that film since then without thinking that there's a clown lurking somewhere in the bushes.
If anyone spots a clown, shoot it!
LOL
Sorry Tom, but I have to wonder if these fright-filled emotions ALSO always carried over whenever you watch the movie "Scaramouche"?
(...seein' as how THAT one features the guy holding rifle there AND dressed up like a clown in many of the scenes...kind of a "double whammy" there, EH?!)

...Tarzan became my favorite fictional character...
bOb39
You would've gotten along great with my father, Bob. He was quite the Tarzan aficionado also.
(...the man could do a killer Tarzan yell TOO...and whole yodel thing and all...you'd think Weissmuller had just walked into the room)

Joe, I have to ask here...and please don't take this the wrong way as I'm merely being inquisitive about this and not suggesting any sort of "right/wrong" issue with my inquiry, but...why do you specifically denote "suicides" with these celebs when that was the manner of their death?
-
A very professional segue, though I prefer the Gutenberg Bible I found on a table next to
a stack of old Reader's Digests. I do agree that the actress who played the mystical orphan
did pretty well and was fairly restrained in the role for the most part.
Yeah, little Connie Marshall intrigued me enough to go check out her bio in the IMDb website. She started out getting very good notices in her early career, but soon fell into that common fate of many child actors who would be "discarded" by Hollywood as they reached adolescence. She also played one of Grant's and Loy's two children in "Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House".
(...btw...good find on that Gutenberg Bible!)
-
Andy, this looks like it would be a wonderful addition to the Games and Trivia forum instead.
(...btw, my offering would be, "Don't ask a dying man to lie his soul into Hell.", as I'm assuming your reference was in regard to the movie in which Burt Lancaster made his film debut)
-
Then it stays. Thanks, missw.
...and Dargo.
-
Yeah, it's surprising what one can pick up at a yard sale.
Yeah, you're right! In FACT, just a few weeks back at a yard sale I happened upon a(watch how I so smoothly get this baby back on track here) DVD collection of Maureen O'Hara movies!
(...ain't I slick)

Dargo,
It has nothing to do with my ego. It has to do with the nature of some of your joking. When I read your first comment in this thread earlier, I was very disappointed. Making fun of someone's handicaps just is not cool with me. And it was not an isolated incident. You mention Barbara Walters. Then in case people didn't get it, a few posts later you mention Gilda Radner. You were deliberately mocking speech impediments, thinking it was funny, and taking the focus away from an appreciation of an actress and her films. I do not know if I can forgive that, or if I want to forgive that. Take care.
Well, I at least TRIED to "get back on topic" here, anyway.
Ya know TB, why are you and few others here thinking Kay's speech was "a handicap". It's NOT a freakin' "HANDICAP". It was just how she SPOKE, and it certainly didn't "handicap" her success with Jack Warner OR the movie going public for a while, now DID IT???????
(...and nooooooow...HOW about IF we get back on topic here and JUST like I tried to do before and as per your previous request, HUH?!...geeeeez...the freakin' "sensitivity" expressed around here lately by SOOOO many people is so freakin' un-be-LIEVE-able lately...WHAT?!...did EVERYBODY'S dog die this past week or somethin'?????)
-
And now back on topic...
I happened to catch Kay in her 1933 2-reeler "Mary Stevens, M.D." a few weeks back when TCM showed it one morning, and what struck me most was how she could rise above the rather pedestrian(oooh, I like that, "rather pedestrian") script and make that film better than the sum of its parts.
-
And I'll bet she also said to him, "If you think you're going to get into the
after world with that tired old print dress, you've got another think coming."
LOL
YEAH! How'd ya KNOW???
(...got your hands on that original script TOO, did YA?!)
-
Hmm. Maybe I should bring back my dark blue wolf. This is the only site where it is not my avatar.
Nah, I like Spacey's picture there.
(...that IS him, isn't it?)
-
What's the big idea calling me TOM? And when addressing a superior officer its MISTER Roberts, or if no one else is around Dargo, you can call me Doug.
Cobie is probably the main reason I have watched that show on and off, she reminds me a little of an old girlfriend Bailey Quarters.OOPS! Sorry Mr.R..err..I mean Doug.
OH yeah...Jan Smithers! The REAL babe on "WKRP"...not the peroxide blonde one. I agree.

Dargo,
I am contemplating following in the footsteps of FredCDobbs.
Hey, a persons gotta do what a persons gotta do, TB.
But I'll tell ya right now that this little "threat" comin' from you doesn't surprise me none, 'cause frankly ol' buddy, your fragile little ego is startin' to show a bit around here lately. And so as I just said, do whatcha gonna do, but I'll still be hangin' around readin' some of your otherwise entertaining and informative threads, and of course OCCASIONALLY insertin' my brand of "humor".
(...that's not a threat, btw) LOL
-
Hey, I didn't say I was surprised.
Well, I can never tell behind those dark glasses you sport!
-
Aaah...and Tom, let us not forget the "F-Troop" episode "The Singing Mountie", and where Paul Lynde as the episode's title character is in hot pursuit of Corporal Agarn's(Larry Storch) French-Canadian "cousin", The Burglar of Banff-ff-ff!
-
Dargo, you are very off-topic in this thread. I would appreciate your sticking to the topic of Kay Francis movies. Thank you.
I think I already apologized to you for this, TB.
(...hmmmm..."apologize"...what a great concept, HUH?!...hint, hint) LOL
-
Sentimental Journey is a fine example of that good ole Hollywood
hokum, sort of way off the tracks but fairly entertaining. I figured
Maureen would be back in the afterlife, since the star usually is
not killed off two-thirds of the way through the movie.
Speakin' of which here Vautrin...a little known "fact" is that the original script for "Psycho" had Janet Leigh returning to visit Tony Perkins in a spirit form and tellin' him, "I KNEW something was wrong with you after that whole 'a mother is a boy's best friend' line of yours!"
-
No big deal. Sometimes I think I've been on the boards too long. Stuff gets recycled and repetitious. No apologies necessary really.
No harm, no foul then.
And now in an attempt to lighten your present mood, might I suggest you head over to the George Brent thread and poke a little fun at the size of his behind.
(...oooh, THAT'S right...you find doin' stuff like that "mean" and "repetitive" now, doncha...never mind then!) LOL
-
Yes, I KNOW. We've been down this road before several times (rhotacism) It gets old........
And thus why I "got it out of the way" EARLY in this baby!!! LOL
(...man...sometimes Hibi, I'm sorry here but I think you "run hot-and-cold" around here sometimes with what you find "funny" and what you don't...and soooooo, my apologies here to both YOU for my attempt at "humor" AND to Mr. TB for my little offhanded joke)
-
I dont find her lisp that noticeable. I know people make fun of it, but I hardly notice it when she talks... Just seems a bit mean to make fun of some affliction someone has/had. But I know that's how it goes.........
Well first Hibi, the correct term to describe this vocal phenomenon of substituting the "R' sound for a "W" sound isn't a "lisp". It's known as "Rhotacism".
Secondly, I agree with you that Kay's "affliction"(as you stated) isn't all that pronounced.
And thirdly, I must assume you ALSO must have thought the late great SNL comedienne Gilda Radner was always being "mean" whenever she did her "Baba Wawa" shtick back in the day, RIGHT?!
(..I mean, I guess "consistency" might count for SOMTHIN' anyway, huh?!)
-
Mean..........
Well, like I just told darkblue in ANOTHER thread here today, Hibi...
Yeah...and SO unlike me, huh..err..eh, ol' buddy?! LOL(...of course, you'll have to change my endearment of "ol' buddy" to the more gender appropriate "dear lady" to get the full and proper effect in your case here)
LOL

I just realized this thread could just be a way to find out how old we are!
It wasn't my first movie, but I took my first date in 9th grade to see the first run screening of Auntie Mame.
The second date wasn't quite as sophisticated, though: I took her to see The Blob.
Well Andy, at least you didn't make the same mistake I once did on a first date back in the day.
In efforts to show "how sophisticated" I was, I took a girl I had had a major crush on all through high school and when I finally screwed up enough courage to ask her out in our senior year, to so see that most "uplifting" saga of marathon dancing, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?".
(...we both were so depressed as we walked out of that theater, that it, well let us just say, "didn't inspire a whole lot of post-screening passion")
Cobie is probably the main reason I have watched that show on and off, she reminds me a little of an old girlfriend Bailey Quarters.
What was the first movie you saw in a theater?

Yeah, I can see how you would.
