"IMPROBABLE"???
Ever watched "Where Eagles Dare"? A movie with a very similar premise, and where Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood kill HALF the German Army while Clint goes unscathed but Burton sustains a minor bullet wound to his hand for his troubles, but STLL can hold onto the side of a ski lift gondola while killing three bad guys a thousand feet in the air during its "thrill-packed ending"!!! LOL
(...now THAT'S "improbable", dude!!!)

Wow! That was quick, lavender! Yep, that's her. And don't those two ladies look a lot alike?
-
LOL
Good one, Sepia!
Btw, doesn't Miss McRae look a lot like this other actress here?
Can you or anybody name HER here?
-
Okay MissW.."New Theory" time...well, I DID say I'd get back to ya as soon as I came up with another one, didn't I?!
You're not a big fan of any movies directed by guys who wear eye-patches!!!
Well, wasn't it you who once said Nicholas Ray was way overrated???
Wait, now that I think about this again, I think you ALSO once said you liked a lot of stuff Raoul Walsh made, so THAT can't be it, huh.
(...sorry, never mind then...I get back to ya again)

TomJH did a nice little write-up and heads-up on this film yesterday, browne...
-
The last time I watched this flick I fell asleep during it, which led to the police not believing my alibi.
(...you have to be a real Dick Van Dyke Show fan to get this one)
-
Shouldn't you have finished that line with the word "Ma", FlyBack???
(...btw...you should hear my Hank Fonda impression...it's REALLY good!!!)
-
-
WAIT Twink! You think the French should be a little less, let us say, "HAUGHTY"???
(...what are ya gonna ask for NEXT?...Christmas every day of the freakin' YEAR???)
LOL
-
Eeh! I don't believe for a MINUTE that that girl is Canadian!
Nope, I'll bet she grew up right down the street from Drew Barrymore!
Well, they both sound like (San Fernando) Valley Girls, don't THEY???!!!
LOL

>I guess I like less talk and more action. When people talk too much it's annoying. Even when it comes to romance I like touch more than talk.
Well, in THAT case, our boy finance must REALLY intrigue you then, EH?!
(...though of course, there's no word on how "touchy-feely" he really is in person...word however is you'd FIRST have to pry him off those exercise machines to get any action!!!)
LOL

That would be a very young Peter Pan there, Miles.
(...aka Mary Martin)

I suppose I can see most of your points here, cb, but THIS one had be scratchin' my head a bit...
>Henry Fonda talks too much in all his movies.
Soooo, I guess "The Grapes of Wrath" might've been an even better movie in your estimation IF John Ford would've just cut down Hank's dialogue at the end to somethin' really simple like, "Don't worry Ma, I'll send ya a card every Mother's Day. Bye now!"...RIGHT?!
LOL
-
Sounds interesting, Tom!
So...sort of a "Who Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" meets "Mogambo", ya say, huh?!
(...I'll be sure to catch it...and thanks for the heads-up)
-
You're welcome, Joe. Nice to see that worked for ya!
-
Yeah, I can see the "14 months" line gettin' the biggest laugh, but like I said earlier, MY new favorite line is, "Better stay out of B-29s, Frank." !
(...or whatever the exact line Powell says there...you probably know, doncha?!)
-
Sure hope you have one o' those long high-fashion model-like necks in order to sport THOSE babies around, Hibi!!!

In MY case that all depends upon if the "hokey-ness" is also presented with a "knowing wink of cynicism".
Case in point, I know "It's a Wonderful Life" is "hokey", BUT somehow Capra puts just enough of that "knowing wink of cynicism" into his movie in order for me to believe he's not totally pressing an agenda about the "attributes of wholesomeness". And of course, many of Billy Wilder's comedies which I also love were presented in this manner.
In other words, it(the cynicism) leavens the schmaltz to a palatable enough level so as to where I can somewhat believe these stories have at least some basis in reality, and thus they hold my interest.
(...get what I mean?)

Yeah, surprisingly I actually enjoyed the Mickey Rooney day yesterday. It afforded me an opportunity to watch a movie I hadn't watched in years and remember being pretty good, "The Human Comedy".
(...boy was I wrong...that baby was, well, hokey...but I gotta admit Mickey WAS pretty good in it)
-
I doubt it also, though I sure wouldn't mind watching "Masada" (1981) again after 32 years. I remember being extremely impressed with it.

Joe, if you're having trouble posting your pictures since this new and "improved" format around here took place, I just want to say you still should be able to, it's just that now when you submit your post/pictures the "Leave this page/Stay on this page" box will appear, and then once you hit the "Leave this page" button, your pictures shown appear. There also as you may have noticed is no more "Preview" selection.
(...I'm sure many of us are missing your latest postings in your excellent thread, and so this is why I'm offering this suggestion up to you, just in case this is the reason we haven't seen any updates the last few days)

>Dargo, sounds like you've got a mild case of "big salad" syndrome. Must be catching.
LOL
Yeah, it kinda does, doesn't it!
(...now where did I put that bottle of Caesar dressing???)

Hmmmm...or maybe...
The Guns of Navarone...

>Let's face it folks. This film is much too long at 2 hours and 37 minutes. It is shown too often. It is not interesting. It is boring. And not many people will watch it.
Well folks, I guess there goes ANOTHER one off the ol' "Classics List" around here, EH?!
(...and besides, it WAS made after 1960 TOO, ya know!!!)
LOL
