Wow. And I thought Ford overdid the redesign of the Thunderbird with THIS!---
Sure was a big change from THIS!

As explained below by Bronxie I am on the cusp, June 21st.
OK, but was it during that particular BIRTH YEAR( whatever it was, the poster never mentioned it.)? eg:
My wife was born on the LIBRA cusp(9/22) but in the year 1941. So, would she still be a Libra, or changed to a Virgo?

I'll apologize as well. And I know the feeling as it can(with some adjustment) be companion to how I feel about BRINGING UP BABY. You know, that "regarded as one of the top" thing.

I'm reluctant to give Nipkow credit for an astute observation, but the other poster seems to be confusing Lancaster and William Holden.
I believe that would require someone being in serious need of an eye exam. AND an hearing test too.

Still though and my earlier point being that in Dr.Strangelove, Sellers ability to so believeably"stretch" into those these distinctly different roles in that film seems a far greater feat than what I've always felt was a "one-note" performance as the dolt in Being There.
Having read the book and then seeing the movie I'd have to say Sellers' "one note" portrayal of Chance was spot on. No other way to do that character proper justice.

There are quotes of Anthony Holden's book floating around the internet that state the odds of a full house losing to a straight flush in a two-handed game are 45,102,781 to 1. And the odds of those two particular hands being dealt are 332,220,508,619 to 1
Too bad that book wasn't around in the '60's so the screenwriters of the movie could have consulted it and instead made a poker playing documentary instead of a MOVIE!
DARG, ever think McQueen's character made those mistakes because he was so bent on beating Robinson's that it clouded his judgement and made him go on tilt? ANY so-called "poker player" would have thought that from jump.

How in the Hell did that happen? I don't recall the astrological table making any "revisions".

Gotta say I too had never thought of these two as having a similar look, Sepia.
(...this is UNTIL I saw your post here, and now I gotta say I'm kind'a seein' it here)
Nah. Their only resemblance is the amount of cragginess they developed as they got older.

Have You Ever Had Opportunity to meet Eve Marie? As You Lived relatively close (by) ?
No guarantee to any of that. As you can observe(to the left) I'm from(and still in) Lincoln Park, MI, but only met ONE member of the MC5. Used to live across the street from drummer Denny Thompson(Tomich) . But never met BOB SEGER, TED NUGENT, LILY TOMLIN, ROBERT WAGNER, GILDA RADNER or any other notables who hailed from the Metro Detroit area in which I also live.

No, there is worse. White socks.
Or Argyle.
But you both forgot......
The bad thing is those shorts being BERMUDA shorts(plaid or otherwise) and those socks being KNEE LENGTH! Just the knobby knees getting any air or sun.

Ah well, this'll have to be one of those "agree to disagree" things. But anyway, my feeling bad for the "unsympathetic" husband Nick is not the only reason why I don't like The Postman Always Rings Twice. I don't really know why it doesn't work for me, it just doesn't. But then, I don't much like The Lady from Shanghai, another film often listed as one of the top 10 iconic noirs. I am perverse. sorry.
I do agree about THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, but think you "overthink" "Postman" in not realizing feeling bad for Nick IS a salient part of the story. You asked if Nick being a bit dumb and naive was justification for murder. Well, MOST Noirs that have a murder in them is also a case of the victim not deserving of being murdered. That's the friggin' POINT!
If Cora and Frank didn't kill Nick and simply ran off together then there'd have been no story worth the time it would take to film.
As far as Lana goes, I could take her or leave her. As both an actress AND a supposed "beauty". I mean, she doesn't really turn me off, but doesn't really get the juices flowing.
But then...
My wife thought I was good looking, and I couldn't understand that either.

Henry Dean Stanton & Royal Dano.

I don't see it. Each had their own unique personage.
And both are still high on my list of favored character actors.

I really think any connection to an actress or actor's astrological sign and the nature of their movie characters behaviors or personality traits is purely coincidental. What's next?
An actor's suitability for a role based on shoe size? Or dental health? Or maybe their personal preference for certain vegetables?
.......
"Yes. Cary Grant's dislike of broccoli made him PERFECT or the role of Mr. Blandings!"

He has that unfortunate old man look where there is some dull yellow tint among the gray/white.
Yeah. All he needed was a pair of cranberry double knit slacks with a white patent leather belt and matching white patent leather shoes!
I'd sometimes go pick my Grandma up at the senior center in the '70's and see lots of old dudes shuffling out with that "look".

Repulsive for sure. Look at those knees. How can you be a femme fatale with knees like that?
I've heard of some strange sexual fetishes before, but KNEES are a new one on me!
I dunno.....
I don't recall ever sitting around at the beach or hangin' with my buds on a street corner in the summer and watching girls stroll by and think, "Wow! Lookit the KNEES on THAT one!"

And yet, in these long lists of actors that always gave us "customary excellence" I've not found(unless they were buried amidst poorly typed entries) the names...
JAMES STEWART and
KIRK DOUGLAS.
BOGEY and CAGNEY too.

. One problem I have is the liter they leave behind on streets, sidewalks and other people's yards. Not to mention the fire threat.
The liter of what? And did you actually measure it?
Well, I had an OK 4th. My street had it's traditional "make our street sound like the D-Day invasion" amount of fireworks.

I think it got past me as I have no clue about Against All Odds, so I only thought of Out of the Past. I definitely know of movies and tv shows shooting on the strand in Manhattan Beach but just am not familiar with Against All Odds. In hindsight, I guess it was kind of silly trying to picture Out of the Past locations on the strand.
I went back and read the original statement and now see things clearly. I am in a running conversation with my wife whose computer is right next to mine so I claim the distraction is her fault!(haha)
OK. But I just hope your wife is OK with that explanation.

Now, Harold & Maude with Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort was creepy for many reasons.
GAD! We're getting some really hyper sensitive people 'round here lately. But while initially the relationship between Harold and Maude might seem "creepy" to some, it really did point out that love can't be planned or orchestrated( as in Harold's Mother's attempts to "fix him up".) and had no age-to-age restrictions or requirements. If it did, I might have never married my second wife(ten years my senior). And it's about opening your heart and not caring about how other people feel about it. but how YOU feel.
Who knows, CHAYA.....
The love of YOUR life might wind up being some pruney codger old enough to be your Grandpa!

Grease was a highly successful movie but I always had a problem with the romance in it. Why did the wholesome exchange student (played by Olivia Newton John) go for the greaser Danny (played by John Travolta) when it was so clear that Danny just wanted one thing. Lyrics in the songs like the greasers singing "did she put up a fight?" are creepy.
What! You walked in at the middle of it? Remember....
They met and had a summer "romance" somewhere before Sandy moved to Danny's hometown and registered at Rydell high. And THEN found out he was a "greaser". At the pep rally, remember?
And speaking of creepy romances, here's one that didn't really get off the ground. Except for being in the bell tower!

I enjoyed the implied romance in The Maltese Falcon between Elisha Cook Jr. and Peter Lorre. No one has mentioned gay couples.
Also, Woody Allen sees himself as some sort of sexual magician. While I think he has good chemistry with Diane Keaton, the romance with Mariel Hemingway was cringeworthy (parallels his real life).
Paris When it Sizzles was terrible.
Speaking of Sabrina, Harrison Ford and Julia Ormand in the remake had no chemistry. Plus, Julia is now some dippy photographer instead of a chef. I empathized with Audrey's character when she was at the cooking school. Wanted to learn how to crack an egg with one hand, make a souffle (sp?), etc. The winner of Top Chef won $250,000 bucks - that isn't chump change. And female chefs are still being discriminated against.
FYI - Interesting tidbit. When a book came out a few years ago about Mary Astor, the NY Times Book Review got in trouble for letting Woody Allen review it.
I agree about Gable & Lombard but these are two different cases.
In real life, Mickey Rooney and Ava Gardner? Of course, they both weren't the nicest people in real life.
1. I think the implication was more Elisha Cook and Greenstreet.
2. Several of Woody Allen's on screen romances seemed odd and misfitted, but that was the point. You know.... relationships based on commonalities and not physical attraction. Or based on the maxim; "The heart wants what the heart wants."
3. This thread isn't about movie critiques. But that Holden/Hepburn connection was more odd than in Sabrina IMHO.
4. I think Gable and Lombard made a wonderful couple. And they did really love one another deeply. And let's just keep this about movie romances. Which brings up....
5. I don't really know(because I've never met him) how nice or not Mickey Rooney was in real life. But nice enough to catch EIGHT wives, but maybe not nice enough to keep 'em.
