Alan Rickman tries to exterminate Aborigines in Quigley Down Under.
He's also quite good at being villainous in the very first "Die Hard" movie.
(...and in fact, that role made his career)
-
... oh and btw, a high forehead is considered typical of high intelligence, at least you got that right
Yes, but isn't it great that for those with the good grace of not pushing their "high intelligence" into the face of others, the comb-over hairstyle has now been perfected for them, and such as THIS gentlemen is sporting for us here...
(...I mean, America HAS always been somewhat anti-intellectual TOO ya know, and so one would think this hairstyle would be very smart choice for those with high intelligence who don't wish to call undue attention to themselves!)
LOL

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL seemed to have cornered the market for these "Teen-sploitation" flicks back in the late '50's to '60's, didn't they?
Sepiatone
Yes, but the question remains: Did ANY of us actually WATCH those A-I flicks all the way through while at the drive-ins with our "main squeeze" on those Friday and Saturday nights back in the day???
(...as it usually got mighty hard to watch those through a fogged-up windshield and from the back seat, ya know!)
-
Ya know Kid, I couldn't help but think of Rich and his hilarious "'50s Juvie Delinquent" thread while looking at those posters.
-
So we're all mongrels? I guess that's why they don't have "people shows".
LOL
Oh, I dunno about THAT, finance. Seems to me there's not much difference between the hosts of beauty contests and Fred Willard in "Best in Show"!

One of the best recently made "teen movies" I've seen(heck, maybe one of the best recently made movies period, for THAT matter) was 2009's "Adventureland"...your standard "coming-of-age" tale I suppose, but done exceedingly well I thought, and containing equal measures of both humor and pathos but skirting overt sentimentality.
-
And thus STILL not answering the question:
If the French could fight THAT well, then WHY did they ultimately need to learn to speak German from 1940 through 1944???
-
So, he had to backus out? (Sorry, couldn't resist. I succumbed to Dargo-ism.)
LOL
Better watch it, MissW!
(...'cause if you keep THIS sorta thing up, you TOO may find yourself on Hibi's "Shameless List" before long!!!)

If Heston was "given" the part, why was it taken away? Was he fired? Contract dispute? Did he quit?
Sorry finance. The following is all it says in Wiki about the casting of this film:
Almost everyone in Hollywood wanted a role in the film. Rod Steiger wanted to play Max Cady, but he backed off when he heard Mitchum was considering the role. Telly Savalas was screentested for the role but later played private eye Charlie Sievers.[1]
Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Charlton Heston, Jack Palance, and John Wayne, were all considered for the role of the attorney, Sam Bowden. Peck was a last-minute replacement for Heston, who was originally cast.[citation needed]
Jim Backus was set to play attorney Dave Grafton, but had to drop out due to conflicts with his new show Gilligan's Island.

Hey, Dargo, please tell me the film, because there's certainly no guarantee that I'll catch the reference, no matter how obvious it may be.
That would be Olivier playing the Josef Mengele-type Nazi doctor who is torturing Dustin Hoffman because he believes Hoffman knows more than he actually does about a cache of diamonds the Nazis had looted years before and are now stashed somewhere in NYC...in 1976's "Marathon Man".
(...and this is the scene where supposedly before it was filmed Hoffman stayed up all night in order to look as haggard as he could, but when Olivier heard why Hoffman did that, he reportedly said, "Why don't you just try acting, dear boy?!")
-
Here's somethin' I didn't know before just checking out the "Cape Fear" Wiki page today...
Charlton Heston was originally given the Peck part in this film.
(...and sooooo, if you think GREG was always "stoic" in his movies, just imagine this flick with CHUCK playin' the lawyer part!)
-
When you puchase something for $2 with your credit card, and you have to sign for it at the register, do YOU sign your full name, rather than a wavy line?
Maybe he abbreviates it a little bit and signs it: "C.P. Atone"?!
-
"Is it safe"...to mention one of MY favorite villains here???...
(...now fess up...how many of you STILL think of Larry here as you ease into your dentist's chair for those 6 month check-ups, HUH?!)
-
That reminds be of a friend who always placed an "r" in the word wash. For years I would hear how he had just warshed the car, or he would soon be giving his clothes a good warsh.
He was a nice guy but would drive me a little crazy with all his warshing. So one day I asked him, "Ron, how do you pronounce the name of the first President of the United States?"
"Lincoln," he replied.
He stumped me with that one and I decided to pursue the business of word pronunciation no further. (By the way, he pronounced "Lincoln" very well).
ROFL!!!
(...good one, Tom!)

A lot of people, including myself, seem to have this problem with Audrey Hepburn and Jean Simmons. Whenever Jean pops up on screen, I always think for an instant that it's Audrey.
While I personally never confused THOSE two together, I suppose I can see some rationale for that.
THOUGH, speakin' o' confusing "Audreys" with another actress, I DO have to admit I sometimes have confused Audrey Dalton with Jean Peters 'cause THOSE two cuties look so much alike, and Audrey Totter with Jo Van Fleet.
-
Well, I might not be sure about the proper pronunciation of "Oregon", but I DO know the proper pronunciation for the state right ABOVE IT is NOT "WORSH-in-ton"!
(...and contrary to how SO many 'Mericans pronounce THAT one!!!)
LOL
-
This thread is different from the "Lookalikes" thread exactly how?
I was wonderin' that very same thing just the other day.
I guess in THIS case this thread might be a combination of the old "Lookalikes" thread and another and more short-lived one from back in the day about actors who might not resemble each other all that much but who somehow people always confused together.
-
Looks like Spence goin' into his house in "Father of the Bride", Kid.
(...but just an early guess here however)
-
I believe both the scenes in which you're inquiring about are from the dark comedy, "The Loved One" (1965).
-
And lemme guess here, Cynthia...to this day you can't drive into a Firestone and/or Goodyear store without gettin' a case of the Heebie-jeebies, RIGHT?!
(...sorry, couldn't resist...and sorry again, I have no idea which movie this is)

"Intermezzo" ?

"Twelve O'Clock High"

I'm a bit surprised that a certain poster here hasn't mentioned Margaret Dumont.
Well, IF you're referrin' to ME here, Mr.R, I guess my excuse would be that I didn't feel like "fighting for that lady's honor" in this thread!!!
(...and which of course word always was that SHE probably never did HERSELF, and so why SHOULD I???!!!)

I see that you assume that Billy De Wolfe was just acting silly in that photo. For all we know, this is how he puckered up whenever he was feeling romantic. He may have real feelings for Mona Freeman.
This may also help to explain why I've never heard anything about Billy having much of a sex life.
Ahem...yeah...I'm "sure" that's the reason, Tom!
LOL(...btw, is it only me, or has anyone else around here always thought that Freddie Mercury bared a strong resemblance to Billy?)

And regarding Bruce in this film, I suppose everyone here has by now heard the famous and very funny story of Bruce and The Duke's conversation before the filming of a certain key scene in this movie, right?!
(...if anyone here says they haven't, I'll post it later)
