I wish they showed YOLANDA AND THE THIEF more often. It's not a great film (like BRIGADOON isn't that great) but has exquisite color and dance numbers like BRIGADOON.

She was charmingly feisty in BEND OF THE RIVER. Despite their obvious age difference, she and Stewart had good chemistry. I'll always remember her as the girl in THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, though.

It looks like Maya's pose is a nod to Leslie Caron's character in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS.

I'll bet the folks in Bridgeport who saw this act loved to tell the tale of "the time they saw the Marx Brothers before they were famous"!

Happy centennial birthday to Abe Vigoda, born Abraham Charles Vigoda in Brooklyn, New York, on February 24th, 1921!

Yes, this is a good yet odd flick! Good soundtrack, too. Dirk Bogarde had such a "non British" approach to his acting, if that makes sense; no nobility. His characterizations were engaging and unselfish in that he never upstaged his costars.

It's interesting that TCM devoted this day to the films of Dirk Bogarde, and his centennial birthday is on March 28th. Would have been a perfect day for that. 🤔

It's so unfortunate That Laird Cregar died at only 31 years old. He had a wonderful laugh and wicked smile that reminds me of Sydney Greenstreet's. I loved him in HEAVEN CAN WAIT, BLOOD AND SAND, I WAKE UP SCREAMING, and THIS GUN FOR HIRE.

Happy centennial birthday to Giulietta Masina, born Giulia Anna Masina in San Giorgio di Piano, Italy, on February 22nd, 1921!

Betty Hutton was perfectly cast in THE PERILS OF PAULINE. In fact, I think Ms Hutton could have herself been a good Silent Film comedian. I also thought she was good in THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.

I liked him also in THE MUMMY as Frank Whemple.

I'm looking forward to THE COSSACKS on Silent Sundays. I really like John Gilbert's films sans Garbo.

It's funny, but when I think of Jane Withers, I think of two grown-up roles. She was very good as the neighbor of Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor in GIANT, and I saw her on an episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" in which she was memorable. By all accounts, she was and is a caring, giving person who has done a lot of charity work in her life. Oh, I also remember her as "Josephine The Plummer" in the Comet commercials! 😀

That would be "Love Came Back" by Paul Birch, Andywo.

When I was a kid, I always watched THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO with my dad. My mother always balked at my father for allowing me to watch all the crime (I was about 7-8 yrs old) but I really only watched for the scenery. We lived in San Jose and would visit SF every few months, and I would touch light posts and street signs as we were walking down the streets and think to myself "I wonder if they filmed TSOSF here." 😄 I think I liked him best in A CHORUS LINE. It's amazing to think his very first film as a producer was ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.

Yes to this! She did steal the film from those two other wonderful character actors. I love her in anything she appeared in. She was always so graceful and spoke so expressively. She was also terrific in CRY HAVOC, PRESENTING LILY MARS, OUR TOWN, MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS and WHITE BANNERS (just to name a few.)

😄 Wow, a jail sentence for speeding?

I have to admit the only thing I know about Guy Madison is that he was married to Gail Russell for a short while. Nice face, though.

Happy centennial birthday to Vera-Ellen, born Vera-Ellen Westmeier Rohe in Norwood, Ohio, on February 16th, 1921!

I think animals are going to be a common theme in this thread! 😀 For me, the closing scene in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S in the rain always makes me gulp. After Holly has impulsively pushed her pet cat out of a taxi onto a busy street in the rain, Fred gets out of the taxi and proceeds to look for "Cat." Eventually, Holly joins him, and just when we think all is lost, Cat meows from behind the ally garbage can and boxes as the film's beautiful theme, "Moon River", begins to play. I always think that surely after the umpteenth time seeing it, it won't get to me, Yet it always does! One non animal scene that also gets me every time is from RANDOM HARVEST. After Smithy has had his accident and returns to his original persona, Charles, he has now forgotten his marriage to Paula and the life he had with her and their son. We don't see her for a while, but when she returns on the screen, she is now his secretary. He begins to discuss with her his plans to marry, and then asks her if she herself is married. She says she was, and he remembers she had once told him she had a son. Then she reminds him that the boy had died, and Charles has very little reaction. So sad...😞

My favorite Lizabeth Scott performances are in A STOLEN FACE and I WALK ALONE.

My favorite Fosse film performances are the dance numbers "Who's Got The Pain" with Gwen Verdon from DAMN YANKEES, his short sequence with Carol Haney in "From This Moment On" from KISS ME KATE, and two numbers from MY SISTER EILEEN: "Give Me A Band And My Baby" with Tommy Rall, Janet Leigh and Betty Garrett, and the spectacular dance challenge between Fosse and Rall. His "Snake In The Grass" number from THE LITTLE PRINCE was the first time I saw him dancing when I was a kid.

I love Frances Dee! I always find her acting less stylized than other actresses in the 1930's. She was as gracious as Bette Davis was selfish in OF HUMAN BONDAGE. I'm not really a fan of the Cukor version of LITTLE WOMEN, but I think Dee and Paul Lukas are great in it. Other films of Dee's I really like are THE SILVER CORD (also with McCrea), BECKY SHARP, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, and IF I WERE KING. Lovely gal.

I think the only film of Jon Whiteley's I've seen is THE KIDNAPPERS, and yes, he was terrific in it.

It's in the TCM database, so maybe it has? https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/81520/the-little-drummer-girl#overview
