Joel McCrea so I could have a romantic interest that interests me, and Thelma Ritter so I could have a sidekick friend that isn't competing in looks.
What's the movie? With Joel McCrea and Thelma Ritter, it's gotta be a comedy.
Uh-huh! I know!
"The WEST Palm Beach Story", Char!!!
(...and of course you'd take direction from none other than Preston Sturges!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
BASIL RATHBONE (1892 - 1967)
Word is Orson Welles would've KILLED for a nose like that!
-
Dargo, wouldn't Danny Kaye be a suitable star for you?
Yea, verily yea....
LOL
Yeah, I suppose Danny might fit the bill!
-
I thought that was Claudette Colbert. Or maybe both?
Yeah, I think you're right(or left...or right...or left..sorry), GayD. I think Claudette also had a particular side which she preferred to face to the camera. However, Jean was probably THE most known for this, as far as I know.
-
Since you ask, I am like most of us who do have a good side. So don't get on my bad side..
LOL
Oh, I know better than to do THAT, Char!

(...I have that little part-time shuttle gig now between Sedona and the PHX airport ya know, and only had time yesterday to commend Tom for the sheer BRILLIANCE of his "Wicked Witch of the EAST" line in another thread before I had to get to work yesterday morning)
Tom THEN wrote...after a slight modification to my post:
Thanks very much, Dargo. I appreciate the compliment.ROFL!!!!
Gotta admit that that WAS sheer "brilliance" HERE, Tom! AND so germane to this thread to BOOT!!!
(...great job...I loved it!)
-
AND, to answer your question here...
I dunno, maybe Alan Alda in MY case.
(...'cause he TOO did a awful lot of Groucho impressions while starring in TV's M*A*S*H)

Well, my life's event is a comedy, but only Jean Arthur could play my antics authentically. I wish it could be Ingrid Bergman, but I am just not as tall as Ingrid (5'9")
Hmmmm..."Jean Arthur" ya say, huh?!
So tell us Char...Do YOU also have a one side of your face which you think is MUCH more photogenic than the other side is TOO???
(...sorry, couldn't resist)
-
Hmmmm...well...lemme see here.
AH! I've got it!
I'd play Major Rudolf Rassendyll in "The Prisoner of Zenda", BUT play the guy as your average everyday American(specially, as a Californian/Arizonan), and thus just call me "Rudy"...none of that whole pretentious European stand-on-tradition/stuff-shirt crap for ME, boy!
I'd have, say, the elegant BUT down-to-earth Deborah Kerr play Princess Flavia. Yeah, THAT'S it.
THEN maybe have all the rest of the cast of the '37 version in it, well EXCEPT for replacing the "matronly" Mary Astor as Antoinette de Mauban with the '52 version's MUCH hotter Jane Greer. Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!
(...and THEN, just before I ride triumphantly into the sunset at the end of this flick, I'd have C.Audrey Smith as Col, Zapt say to me, "Goodbye, Yank. You're the finest Ellsberg of them all, dude!", and then he'd turn to David Niven and say, "He taught me to say "dude", and while telling me some other gibberish about not spelling certain words with what he called 'superfluous u's'!"...THE END)

Thanks. Sounds like a good suggestion, and I'll definitely look into that.

So I just edited your post for practice, never done that before. LOL- BUT I'm pretty sure my reply will show up in the quote box again LOL- YOU"RE VERY WELCOME and ENJOY the show
RATS!!! I just thought o' somethin' here.
As you might remember, the only reason I'm now gettin' MeTV is because we went with a cable service that bundles the TV service with Internet service, and then dropped DirectTV. However, we've been havin' a lot of problems with their Internet service and they haven't exactly been good about fixin' the problem.
And so the wife has just cancelled it and we're now goin' back to the original Internet provider we used to have and back to DirectTV, which means no MeTV anymore, and thus no "Hart To Hart" and all those other wonderful old TV shows I've now gotten into watching as a great "fall back" alternative.
(...I HATE when that happens)
-
Thanks for posting the explanation, I was terribly hurt and insulted when you didn't reply. NAH, just teasing, I knew you would when you had a chance
As long as you're on the bds, wanted to remind you that re-runs of HART TO HART will be starting MONDAY JULY 7 @ 8pm, according to ME-TV's ads for the show. Wouldn't want you to miss seeing your crush
so mark it down and make sure you're not shutteling around then LOLThanks for the heads-up, lavender.
(...ya know, this gives me an idea for TB's thread about "If YOU were a star, who would be your co-stars?"...yep, you guessed it, I'D replace that hack R.J. in that TV series he did with my old crush Stefanie!...yeah, THAT'S it!!!) LOL
-
Sometimes I can seperate my post from the quote, other times not. Not sure what causes that. It happened yesterday. My post was included in a quote that had had been posted by another.
Yep, lavender. And I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to your PM to me yesterday about how this happens and how to fix it.
(...I have that little part-time shuttle gig now between Sedona and the PHX airport ya know, and only had time yesterday to kid Tom about his "Wicked Witch of the EAST" line in another thread before I had to get to work yesterday morning)
-
sewhite2000, you are a wonderful and honorable person for confessing to your error.
I hate to admit my errors.
I'm shocked to read that!
Wait, lemme try that again...
I'm shocked to read that!
LOL

Rosalind Ivan had played a similar role as Charles Laughton's nagging wife in The Suspect, made the year before Scarlet Street. I have to wonder if her casting in the Lang film was based on just what a great nag she had been in the earlier film.
She was like the Wicked Witch of the East without the flying monkies.
So, she wore ruby slippers and had a house fall on her too, eh Tom?!
-
I thought we canucks were supposed to pronounce it "aboot". Get your misbeliefs straight there, Dargs.
Now whaddaya talkin' 'boat..err..'BOUT, dark?!
Anybody REALLY in the know, knows that SCOTS say "aboot" and CANUCKS say "aboat"!!!
I thought you Hosers..err..Canucks KNEW that, dude!
(...BUT, both the Scots AND the Canucks use that superfluous letter 'u' in the spelling of words that REALLY don't NEED 'em, like COLOR, and LABOR. and NEIGHBOR, and....!!!)
LOL
-
I wonder if people who live in Newfoundland object to the term "Newfie"?
Remember "Newfie jokes" ? probably frowned upon now.
I have never been called or referred to as a "Canuck" (unless you count Dargo), but if I were, I would not find it objectionable. How 'bout you?
Don't you mean, "How 'boat you?", MissW?
-
onomatopoeia?
I don't think this is the word we're lookin' for here, as I believe it refers to the sounds of words, such as a bell's "ring", or a snake's "hiss", or a horn's "honk", and not so much to the feeling one gets from the mentioning of a particular word.
(...though I could be wrong)
-
"Morose" comes to mind, wish I could think of more.
"Morose"???
Oh yeah. I LOVED his score for "The Big Country"!
Now THAT dude knew how to write music!!!
(...sorry GayD...couldn't resist...and yeah, I know it's "Jerome Moross")
-
Actually, I think it's Sister Mary Elephant.
Nah, duuuuude. Sister Mary Elephant's not here, man.
(...I think she's with Dave)
-
I think it's honkees.
Just think "take the last train to Clarksville" as a remember hint.
Yeah, good idea, dark!
Now the question is: How do I remember THAT?
Wait, I got IT.
----------------------------------------------------
Hey, hey, we're the Honkees
And people say we **** around
But we're too busy jokin'
To put anybody down
(...yeah, THAT'LL help me here...though I'll bet more than of few of the folks out there are now thinkin' that NOTHIN' short of a constant Lithium drip is gonna help ME)
------------------------------------------
edit to follow AGAIN
Well, well, well! It looks like the SINGULAR of Honkees isn't acceptable at all.
(...seems Sister Mary Ellen HAS been awake at the helm after all, EH?!)
-
Btw, do you folks think it might be a lesson in futility to post the transcript of that classic first year SNL skit with Richard Pryor doin' a job interview with Chevy Chase???
(...my first inclination is to say "Yes", but then again I HAVE been known to be wrong before, ya know!)
-
Ne gro is a correct word, but it's possible that many "black" people may not like anything that "white" people have ever used for descriptors.
Yep, that's the burden we Honkeys have to give with, alright!
(...or is that spelled "Honkies"???...I'm gonna go check my Funk & Wagnall and I'll be right back)
-------------------------------------------------------------
edit to follow:
Now ain't THAT strange?! THAT word isn't "filter-ized" at ALL!
(...I KNOW...the plural ISN'T spelled correctly EITHER way...yeah, that's GOTTA be it!!!)
LOL

Gotta say they REALLY had Jane all vamped-up THERE alright, MultiEye.
Though unfortunately, Jane always reminded me of my dearly departed Mother. Yep, good ol' Mom truly DID look a lot like Ronnie's first wife.
And thus you'll have to excuse me here, but I JUST can't get all that excited about Jane here, and EVEN in THAT get-up!
(...this IS a healthy sign on my part, RIGHT???!!!)
LOL

Who would you pick as your costars in a classic film?

Hey! It could've been WORSE, ya know!
I COULD have said "The West VIRGINIA Story"...and THEN you and Joel would've been brother and sister AND married in this thing!!!
(...I think I just lost the Huntington and Charleston markets and all points in between here...but THAT'S okay 'cause I know they'll be back eventually)
