Yes, Dargo, Gina was always gorgeous. This thread has gone from asking for Cinema's most gorgeous star to people posting pics and names of just about every pretty face( and some NOT so pretty) to have ever stood in front of a movie camera! Sepiatone

Oh, that face, that fabulous face II - Post 1950's. Whose is it?

Brando didn't really want to do "Teahouse", and was surprised at how well it did, box office wise. Despite any of their misgivings or reluctnance, these people had a sense of professionalism that betrayed their lack of enthusiasm. In retrospect, I suppose they got over it, after seeing how well loved these movies became. It took Christopher Plummer a lot of years to get over his despising of *The Sound Of Music* , and it's been a while since he quit referring to it as "The Sound Of Mucous". Sepiatone

Move plot: reluctant adult, inconvenient kid

LOL!! UP! Reminded me of something my wife said when we first watched it. "It's too bad SPENCER TRACY wasn't still alive to do the old man's voice. He looks just LIKE him!" Sepiatone -
Recommend some seventies movies please
Sepiatone replied to BigFanOfClassics's topic in General Discussions
There's a member here( I won't mention names, mostly because I FORGOT who!) that feels ANY movie made after 1960 isn't worth watching. THIS thread must be driving him NUTS! Anyway, I now have a hankering to see most of the movies mentioned here. A lot of good 'uns were brought up. Sepiatone -
I'm gonna throw a wrench in this and relate that my wife thinks you're all a bunch of racists . SHE thinks one of filmdom's most gorgeous actors, when young, and even when aging, was SIDNEY POITIER! And NO, my wife isn't black. Sepiatone

Restored, rehydrated, reconstituted, it doesn't matter. It's STILL *Lawrence Of Arabia* .You might find this hard to believe, but there ARE many people who really can't tell the difference, and an equal number who don't really CARE. A lot of viewers who turn on TCM do so in the hopes of seeing some long lost gem they haven't seen in umpteen years, or some great old "classic" they've never seen before. But, if like most people, they SLEEP between 11:00pm and 9:00am, they'll probably miss a few of THOSE, and tune in during PRIME TIME to watch, yet again, "Lawrence", "Eternity" , "Streecar" or *Guess Who's Coming To Dinner .* Flyback has a legitamate gripe. TCM should reverse the trend, show the "frequent flyers" on the red-eye shift, and the long-lost fare during prime time. Sepiatone

Been trying to catch as much "Combat" on METV whenever possible. At 3;00am, it's not always possible. First became a fan of sorts of Morrow from that, and co-star Chuck Ban....er...RICK JASON. ( Chuck Ban was an old high school buddy who EVERYONE agreed was Mr. Jason's "spitting image". Hey! Maybe THAT'S the "Jason" his daughter got the middle name from!) Sepiatone

*Little Miss Marker* Sepiatone -
Thought slightly about this when watching *The Blackboard Jungle* the other day. Spurred further by someone on the "Perfect Ending" thread about how they thought *Psyco* should have ended. Which scene in whatever movie would you have done differently if you were directing it? Not the whole movie, mind you, but a particular scene in a movie that somehow bothers you enough to think, "If I were directing this, I'd have changed this"? I just mentioned *Blackboard Jungle* , and the scene that planted the seed of this thread was towards the end, when GLENN FORD was in that knife stand-off with VIC MORROW. When Morrow's Artie was disarmed, Ford then pushes him into the blackboard and tries to repeatedly slam him into it. But Morrow's sweater is so loose, he only manages to pull the material out and back, barely moving Morrow at all. I imagined this took a few takes, because I don't see how it could be done in one, with what I also imagined the laughter from all involved at how COMICAL it all must have seemed. For ME, I at least thought so because I always catch myself chuckling at what's supposed to be a very dramatic point in the scene. If I were directing it, I would have reshot the scene with Ford holding Morrow by the SHOULDERS so the slamming of Morrow against the blackboard would be more apparent. There MUST be several examples of this sort of thing any one of you all can conjure, and I'd like to see some of them. Sepiatone

Greed, the longest movie ever made? Faithful to the book?
Sepiatone replied to solarblast's topic in General Discussions
I can't imagine who would SIT through it. Never heard of it myself, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The longest movie I ever heard of was the Soviet production of *War and Peace* , which was over six hours long. Then there's those movies that aren't really that long, but SEEM like it! :0 Sepiatone -
That's another thread category, Lavender. Your Dad looked like Newman when he was younger( did you mean when your DAD was younger, or NEWMAN?), and my step-dad resembled VICTOR JORY! Sepiatone

Trying To Find Out The Name Of This Movie...
Sepiatone replied to TrixieTreasure's topic in General Discussions
For some reason, I started thinking about this movie. I thought that I would come here and try to find out what it was called, but couldn't clearly remember enough about it to put here that would make sense. Then TODAY, here's someone else asking about the SAME MOVIE! Cue the theremin music! Sepiatone -

HAH! I KNEW that was him! Whoever he is... Sepiatone -
But MIRANDA did make good cameras. Jimmy Stewart is sporting one in *Rear Window* . Of course, for some reason, they blacked out the name. Sepiatone

Name Movie Scenes Where The MUSIC Really Moves You
Sepiatone replied to WhyaDuck's topic in General Discussions
You reminded me of something funny, Duck. The same mixed up buddy of mine, the one who thought DESI ARNAZ was JAMES AENESS' brother, also once thought MAX ROACH did the music for those "Our Gang" and LAUREL & HARDY flicks! Sepiatone -
Sally Field! You LIKE her? You REALLY like her? Sepiatone

Gotta be MARIE DRESSLER! Haven't we been though this before? Haven't we decided that indeed, tastes vary too much to arrive at a concensus? Sepiatone

Rare original ending of Lost Horizon.....
Sepiatone replied to FredCDobbs's topic in General Discussions
Yes, I'D like to see a restored print myself. All this nonsense of playing the surviving soundtrack over a montage of movie stills is annoying. They did the same thing with the Garland/Mason *A Star Is Born* . If THAT'S the best they can do, I'll take the edited version, thank you. Sepiatone
