Yep, gotta agree with ya here. (...well, except for maybe your comment about rip-off artist Brian De Palma's flick, anyway)

Now whaddaya talkin' about here, finance?! What?! You're not into watching a guy and two young semi-dressed young ladies rolling around on a large sheet of crumpled up wrapping paper for what seemed like five minutes or somethin'???!!! (...why, I can't BELIEVE this!!!)

Ya know finance, I think I CAN actually hear Garbo saying: "Vat?! Am I clown? Do I amuse you? Go avay, I vant to be alone." (...YEAH!...wouldn't that additional line have been just PERFECT for her to say to Barrymore in "Grand Hotel"???)

You must be right about the lack of air time of this film, Mr.R., as It seems it HAS been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to have watched that one. I too remember it being a very well done thriller, and with excellent acting done by all involved, and yes, especially by a very creepy Ross Martin.

I've always thought "Them!" was just about the best of these '50s 'atomic age creates giant monster(s) that threatens the world' movies, Eugenia. (...but then again, ANY movie with James Whitmore is tops in my book)

Exactly, slatyon. As has been said before about all the great film actors, "They acted with their eyes", and even though Flynn's daring-do physicality on screen was seldom matched by any other star assigned to portray these sorts of larger-than-life characters, the way he could use those eyes of his to convey the feeling of deep hurt or resentment and a host a other emotions so naturally when the scene called for it, IS the very reason the man was a much better actor than he was ever given credit for being. and of course almost solely because of the film genre he was so good in was considered "Popcorn Entertainment for the masses".

Well, I DO have to admit I thought about doin' that for a while after these boards started allowing it...but THEN I realized that if I DID do that, it might "clash" with my "usual persona" around here and that Groucho's picture up there would probably be MUCH more "fitting" an avatar to use! (...and besides, I know the REAL reason you'd like me to do that...it's 'cause you just wanna look at Stefanie's beautiful face every time you read one of my attempts at humor around here, now AIN'T it?!)

Yeah, that "little lost puppy" look ALWAYS works with you dames, and fortunately EVEN for those of us men who don't look ANYTHING like Errol Flynn! (...well, except with Dame May Whitty, of course...but then again, I wouldn't ever be tryin' to woo HER anyway!!!)

Yeah, maybe...but I'm STILL thinkin' it MIGHT be MORE 'cause he'd throw that "shan't" word out occasionally! AND, as we know, NO good ol' 'Merican boy EVER says "shan't"...though I DO think there's a pocket of Canadians just outside of Toronto who still say that word, 'cause they could never totally cut those ol' British apron strings, ya know! (...yep, just LIKE that ol' British superfluous letter 'u' they still use up there TOO!!!) LOL

Well, I dunno about being a "fabulous" actress, but she sure always did somethin' for ME, anyway...and evidently for you too, EH?! What I DID notice and what sort of impressed me a bit after watching her in "Die!..."(hadn't watched in years) was that she had developed a "natural" quality to her work at such a young age(22) and I never noticed any "acting" going on in that movie by her. Though then again, perhaps THAT could possibly all be explained because in comparison to Tallulah chewing the scenery in that flick(a la Bette Davis in "Baby Jane") almost ANYBODY would have probably "looked natural" in it! LOL

Happy Birthday, Speedy! (...and many more years of watchin' Errol swashing his buckle!)

LOL Yeah, and I ALSO hear some guy who played Gershwin a lot on the piano and was known to be very sardonically whitty...err...I mean WITTY, knew one of Rock's more notable female co-stars before SHE was a virgin!

Now, whaddaya talkin' about here, Holden?! Now didn't Walter just say to Greer in this clip, "Thank heavens, I SHAN'T have to talk to you about this!"??? Now tell me here, dude...When's the last time YOU ever said "shan't" in a freakin' sentence, HUH?! LOL Okay, okay, yeah, I see what you're sayin' here, but all I can tell you here is that for SOME odd reason, for YEARS I thought Walter WAS British. And so, maybe, at least in MY case anyway, I always bought into the concept that Walter COULD have been one of the King's subjects who helped the British Army evacuate off the shores of Dunkirk and live to fight the Jerrys(...err, I mean "THE KRAUTS"...I'm a Yank here, remember) another day in that movie.

So Tom. Are you implying here that what Errol was probably REALLY thinking when he spouted that classic line of dialogue was: "What a creature Jack Warner must be for him to allow a creature like Michael Curtiz to direct me here!" (...and so perhaps "method acting" DOES go back further than when Brando first hit it big, EH?!)

Nope. During her post-"Die! Die! My Darling!" screening talk, the only other actors I remember her talking about were Tallulah Bankhead, Bill Holden, John Wayne, Valerie Harper, Noel Harrisson, Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, Jill St.John...ummm let's see...I know there were a few more, but no, none of her "Palm Spring Weekend" co-stars. (...though as maybe you know, Ty Hardin sure went off the deep freakin' end after HIS Hollywood career came to a halt!) LOL

Yeah, I'LL say! This one might be the closest lookalikes ANYBODY has ever posted. (....saaaay, ya think Donald's and Tudor's family might have had the same milkman TOO???)

Thanks for the heads-up here, TB. It's been a while since I've watched this one, but I DO remember BOTH not being able to keep my eyes off of Stefanie when she's on screen, but ALSO how well Robert Conrad is at playin' a cocky jerk! LOL (...OH, and that there's a lot of really cool cars from that era in it, too)

finance, it appears you have been confusing the term "Mid-Atlantic accent" with the term "Mid-Atlantic COASTAL region of the U.S." here. Actually, the term "Mid-Atlantic accent" is more a nebulous idea and has come to mean any accent which sounds neither British nor American/Canadian but perhaps a blend of both sides of how people talk on each side of "the pond". And so, OF COURSE Sly Stallone doesn't have a "Mid-Atlantic accent. (...know what'm talkin' 'bout here?)

Okay TB...fess up. You really HAVE been(and as Tom up there in Canada earlier noted) puttin' people on here and your tongue HAS been firmly planted in your cheek there in SoCal while typing away in this baby the whole time, right? And, you really don't think that just because for a few days more people have been inquisitive about Dame May than of Rock that this really signifies anything, RIGHT?!

So Tiki, in essence, what you're tellin' me here is that Kubrick would've fit RIGHT in and felt right at home livin' here in Sedona Arizona and along with all these OTHER "New Age" kinda folks around here, RIGHT?! LOL

Nope, Unfortunately, I didn't catch any of them this time. I mostly know Whitty from her roles in "Mrs. Miniver" and "The White Cliffs of Dover". (...sorry, I can't go into more detail here, as our friends from Tucson have just showed up)

Soooo, how's it feel to be a member of a minority??? LOL

You're welcome, TB. (...and NOW go tell THIS to our friend fxreyman over in that "TCM going Blah?" thread...he seems to have a little problem with the concept of "comic relief" lately!!!!) ROFL

Eeh! MY guess is that this thing all just boils down to a bunch of REALLY lonely guys on-line lookin' for "dames"!!! (...and there was just a misunderstanding on their part)

Hmmmm...can I come over to your house TOO, Tiki? 'Cause to this DAY, once Kubrick gets to that whole "Star Baby" thing, I'M LOST, lady!!! (...and I hear I'm not the ONLY one!!!) LOL
