Wiki says Suzanne gave the eulogy at his funeral. And yeah, LOL, I do remember that episode near the end of the series' run when Gerard's wife seems to get sick and tired of her husband's whole "Inspector Javert" shtick. And didn't Kirk Russell once play Gerard's son in one episode?

LOL Truly a funny line, and pretty much accurate. I caught that turkey years ago on TV(might have been TCM), and it really just goes nowhere and is neither funny nor touching, and which I suppose it was aiming for. And while Janssen's big screen filmography isn't impressive, I thought he turned in a pretty good second billed performance as Jeffrey Hunter's Marine Drill Sergeant and friend in the WWII movie, HELL To ETERNITY.

Eeh! I say throw the little tykes into the deep end and have 'em watch Kapò !!! (...jus' kiddin')

Yep, good points, MissW...especially the VERTIGO thing, as Jimmy Stewart pretty much does and has the same motives for his actions in "pygmalion-izing" Kim NOVAK as Henreid had with Scott in this one. (...ya know, I KNEW I was missin' a few key "ingredients" in my little "recipe" here....thanks!) ***edited due to changing Kim from a "Hunter" to a "Novak"...just caught this while re-reading my post***

Yeah, well, I DIDN'T know that finance even HAD kids! I just thought he tried to DATE 'em!!! (..."kids" of course as in "25 year old young ladies" that he meets in that gym of his!) LOL

LOL I can't top THAT one, Tom. (...'cause of course THAT'S the last line in the picture, AND one of the all-time great ones in ANY picture!!!)

Re STOLEN FACE... Did anyone else who watched it last night feel like maybe the screenwriter might have taken a copy of Shaw's PYGMALION and a copy of Maugham's OF HUMAN BONDAGE, placed them both in a Cuisinart, set it on "blend", and then poured the results on a clear sheet of paper? Or was that just me??? Actually, not a bad movie at all...well, except for the much too "convenient" ending, anyway. I'm not a big Lizabeth Scott fan, but I thought she was as good in it, and especially when playing the cockney bad girl who the always reliable(well, when he's NOT tryin' to play a pirate, anyway) Henreid settles for. And I thought of all the Terence Fisher directed films shown last night, THIS one was his best effort with the camera.

LOL No, of course not, Tom. That cheap blonde floozie WON'T do at all! Now haven't I made myself clear here? I MUCH prefer Brunettes, and like the one that cheap blonde floozie is traveling with here in this picture... (...uh-huh, THAAAAT'S right...the one that looks AND sounds a lot like Eve Arden!!!) LOL

I'm finding it hard to believe that the same director, Terence Fisher, made MAN BAIT, STOLEN FACE, and THE UNHOLY FOUR...the last one being so much more stodgy and stage-y than the other two. Perhaps the budget for the latter was substantially less than for the other two, because it certainly feels to me as if the production values are quite a bit lower in it, and with the very scant use of a musical score in many scenes giving me this impression in particular.

Well, the Ruskies didn't have jet engines in '42 and when Howard's plane first hit the drawing boards, Ham, and as I'm sure you know.

Yes, but, good sound, wot?!...as the Brits might say! And forget Diana...Marguerite Chapman was the REAL babe in this one! (...but then again, I never got the whole "Diana Dors Brit Sex Goddess" thing to begin with!...what...err..WOT?...take an average lookin' girl, bleach her hair platinum blonde and VOILA, you're NOW supposed to have some kinda "sex goddess" or somethin'???!...NAY, I say!!!)

Well son-of-a-gun! I had NO idea that that bloke Peter Noone had ripped off an old English music hall song for their hit! And not only THAT, but all he sang was the chorus! I feel SO cheated now to discover this! (...thanks for settin' me straight here, Swithin!)

Yep! So kinda like havin' to run and monitor EIGHT piston engine-driven props in order to keep THIS baby in the air, RIGHT Ham?!..

Eeh! You've just been watchin' way too many James Bond flicks, slayton!

LOL Yeah, come to think of it you're RIGHT! (...but FIRST, maybe a particular selection from the Herman's Hermits repertoire...and I THINK you know which one I'm talkin' about here, doncha?!)

I can see why Stanley is MUCH better remembered for, "I'm Gettin' Married in the Mornin'", Swithin! (...'cause THAT one is MUCH catchy-er!!!)

LOL Yep! Well there goes THIS thread heading for the Admin's chopping block and just like poor old Anne Boleyn. (...or just like that first "Gay Marty" thread anyway!!!) LOL

You and your "smilebox" thing, ND. Sorry, but I just don't get your affinity for it. (...but lemme guess here...it's kinda like that OTHER thing you have for Big Duke playing Genghis Khan, RIGHT?!!!) LOL

Here comes another of my "famous" analogies here: Cinerama was to movie production and exhibiting as Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" was to aviation. In other words, too complex and grand a design for the technologies of the time to make totally practicable (...how was THAT one?!)

Yep, just an urban legend, yogiboo. There of course was somewhat of a resemblance between Janssen and Gable, with the most striking of course being those ears. I remember when there was talk of casting Janssen as Gable in the 1976 biopic "Gable and Lombard" for a while, but I think he passed on the project, and the producers would go with James Brolin instead. (...and re his widow Dani, she would go on to marry action movie director Hal Needham for a while, not Peter Falk)

Well sure. After Dr. Kimble(or whatever name he was using at the time) saved your life, your love, or your career while passing through town, OF COURSE you'd sing his praises to anybody who'd listen...and ESPECIALLY to that martinet, Lt.(not Inspector) Gerard!!!

So in OTHER words Arturo, my earlier little "Crossover vehicles are ONLY called that now days because the term 'Station Wagon" is now considered SOOO friggin' 'un-hip' " analogy to this whole "Disco/Dance/House Music" thing was right...RIGHT???!!! LOL

And btw, NOW you're gonna think I'M "nuts" here, BUT...I'M seein' a little "Jimmy Cagney" thing goin' on with that there Romulan chick!!! Yes, REALLY!!! Can't ya see IT??? "You dirty rat Klingon! You killed my broth'ah, and now I'm gonna kill YOU!" LOL

For which part of that question, Hibi??? LOL (...sorry Lorna, couldn't resist)

Here ya go, Lorna...
