Hmmm...sorry Mr.R, but I'm not seein' the resemblance between those two TV Moms you just mentioned.
(...but then again I suppose it's somewhat understandable that one might be swayed to think that, considering the thought that if you've seen ONE '50s TV mom vacuuming the carpets in high heels, then you've seen 'em ALL, huh?!)
-
Yep!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024635/
And which I stumbled upon while searching out that pic of Nora's, 'cause I first recognized Buster, and then went to his filmography to discern the answer here.
-
(...and once again with an assist credited to mongo and his wonderful "Candids 2" thread...)
Rita Gam
..and..
Capucine
-
Nope, nothin' happened at all...well, except for all that time they spent lookin' for but NEVER findin' any oil(as Sepia just alluded to). And which was of course covered in that little remembered book of the Bible...wait for it..."Exxonadus".
(...and which of course DeMille decided to gloss RIGHT OVER in his movie!!!)
-
Mary Carlisle and Buster Crabbe in "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi".
-
>I have no idea--who's on first.
LOL
(...how apropos for MLB Opening Day, HUH?!)
-
Sepia ol' buddy, after watchin' The Robe last night, for as I've stated in this thread after many many years, I'm gonna have to disagree with this earlier stated opinion of yours in this thread...
>The main problem with the old movie is RICHARD BURTON. The expression "phone it in" doesn't even work here. Burton seemed as if he sent HIS performance in by carrier pidgeon!
Yep, sorry, but I thought Burton mostly hit the proper notes in his performance as the conflicted Marcellus. Well, at least I felt he played the "Sydney Carton-esque" character who at first has no real convictions in his life, but ends up making the ultimate sacrifice for his friends, in rather convincing fashion anyway.
Saaaay, maybe you didn't care for his portrayal 'cause all those "proper notes" I mentioned he performed in his signature Richard Burton "staccato delivery", eh?!
(...just a guess here, 'cause you never really did expanded upon why you felt this way about his performance in this film)
-
My guesses...left to right...
Joan Fontaine, Una Merkel, and I have no idea.
-
Sounds good, dp! How about a toast to seal the deal?
(...so, is Merlot okay with YOU anyway???)
LOL
-
Absolutely, Char. That's a film which one doesn't have to speak the "local lingo" in order to love.
(...and I think another one from the same country would be De Sica's The Bicycle Thief, just to pull another suggestion out of the ol' hat)
-
Yeah, maybe Hibi, but I have to say that I disagree with some of the opinions that have been expressed in this thread about the special effects being "dated". I think they still actually hold up pretty darn well, overall.
-
>Hi Dargo. I hope you had a great Cesar Chavez Day yesterday!
LOL
Thanks Fred! Yep, I sure did!
In FACT, just in Cesar's honor yesterday, I stopped by the Javelina Vineyards on Page Springs Road just south o' here and helped pick a few grapes for the nice people there!
(...you haven't LIVED until you've tried their Merlot!!!)
-
> "OH ****!"
LOL
Somehow all these years I must've missed that line of dialogue, Fred, 'cause I was always pretty sure ol' C.B. while known for juicin' up the visuals in his films, was somewhat loathe to use THAT kinda language!
-
"...a more dramatic fashion", ya say James?!
Why, whatever do ya MEAN?
(...I THOUGHT we were talkin' about "Cecil B. DeMille" here, dude?!!!)
LOL
-
>Jane Greer choosing a hat for the Easter Parade? I hope not.
Well, ya know Joe, you COULD post a bunch of pictures of the sultry Miss Greer with a basket of kumquats on top her head, and I wouldn't mind one little BIT !
(...Happy Easter, ol' buddy!)
-
I was just pondering the actor Frank Lovejoy here, and got to thinking how for whatever reason he's always sort of reminded me of an American version of British actor Jack Hawkins, what with both of them often playing the same type of roles...the second male leads and often the "Company Commander" in war films.
And so, who comes to YOUR mind is this regard, folks?
(...oh, and I forgot to add...all respondents to this thread will be welcomed to reply to this query by EITHER the inclusion of that superfluous letter "u" in certain words that the Brits still use for whatever reason OR in the American lexicon, as this will have absolutely NO bearing upon the appropriateness of any and all responses...and this of course includes you folks up there north of the 49th Parallel TOO!!!)

Your suggestion of Elmer B's The Great Escape score was a great addition to this thread, Gorch. And, your write-up in support of it was nicely worded, also.
(...and NOW the ONLY problem I'm havin' here is gettin' that song outta my HEAD!!!)
-
>1) A lobster dropped into boiling water exhibited the same response as to a flash of bright light and death occurred with no obvious pain response.
Hmmmm...I wonder if they also see their grandmother's face and hear a voice saying: "Come toward the light!"???
(...and if they DO, then maybe I'll just stick to the scallops on the menu from now on)
-
I was of course kiddin' about that whole "Pee Wee Heirman/German" thing here, gagman, but tell me, am I correct in assuming that the lady on the left is a young Joan Blondell?
(...'cause that's who I think SHE is anyway)
-
>Having never actually heard a 12th century mongolian badass I just don't have much of a problem with Duke's delivery.
Yeah, maybe FBT, but five'll getcha ten those 12th century Mongols didn't have that halting American Southwestern TWANG lilting through their voices like the Duke had anyway...PILGRIM!!!
LOL
-
LOL
Thanks Fred, but I think I'd rather remember the Duke in MY favorite role of his and one in which I think he's "just a little" better cast...as Thomas Dunson in Red River.
-
Well FBT, I can't speak for James here, but the few times I'VE tried watchin' that flick, I just couldn't get past the Duke's famous speech pattern while he's tryin' to play that Mongol...PILGRIM!!!
(...and sorry, but that little Boris Badenov mustache he sports in the thing ALSO doesn't come close to distracting me enough from that voice o' his either...PILGRIM!)
-
Didn't TCM feature Cregar a while back in some manner?
I seem to recall them playing a few of this movies back-to-back-to-back and Bob Osborne's introductions to them, and where I first heard of the circumstances of his death.
-
Re the "Thundershirts", Char...
Yep, we got Moose one of those last year during the Monsoon season out this way(mucho thunder and lightning during those, ya know), and it seemed to work only so-so on him.
(...and re the "Jack Paar" thing...you're right, that was his signature line alright...I had forgotten about that)
Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?
