  1. Angel Face was made at a horrible time in Jean Simmons and her husband Stewart Granger's lives. It is hard not to watch it with this background of Hughes in mind and that adds to the noir theme. Regarding the Best Picture choices of 1952, my favourite is definitely High Noon. It is my favourite Gary Cooper movie.
  2. Thanks for the beautiful write up and photo, Tom.
  3. That's correct, DJ. I was watching the movie at the time....
  4. Thanks for the picture of a SNOOD. I will say: Rosie the Rivitor as it depicts a variety of ways women were in the workforce and that looks like it would be helpful to keep your hair up. Next: Bacon and Eggs
  5. Jeanne Crain was in A Letter to Three Wives with Paul Douglas.
  6. 3) She is well known for the movie SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON.
  7. I love the campiness of the original of House on Haunted Hill. I love the cast, too.
  8. Dementia is a super category of diseases. Anyway, I was in a particularly depressed mood at the time about the fact that I have a higher risk for the disease because I was born with neurological damage - about a 20% higher risk and it does not seem to lesson with the amount of education you get. At only 40, I have a long way to go. I am also likely to be **** when I get no sleep the night before, which is what happened to me. I was up for about 48 hours by the time I got any sleep. Insomnia sucks. Anyway, Glenn Ford ended up with the disease too, but he was old by then. Rita, of course, had a particularly difficult time because no one knew what it was. Since Raegan, now we do.
  9. Exactly. I wonder why people didn't see her comments as such.
  10. Yes, I was referring to the fact that maybe, if I saw this film I might give it a higher rating than Kidd did due to the smoking hot replacement.........then again, maybe not. But yes, I in particular enjoyed panning Pigskin Parade.
  11. In Julius Caesar, Deborah Kerr and Greer Garson appeared together. Of course, this was in black and white.
  12. Smoking hot replacement, Kidd? One star? And yet worth writing a review?
  13. Not sure who reported the picture. as Limey said, everything was covered and it was merely suggestive.
  14. Skimpole- your Star of the Month introduces me to an artist I don't know at all. Great variety.
  15. Shane airs quite a lot on Silver Screen Classics here in Canada. Whether you consider it the best Western or one of the best, or simply just say it is your favourite, it is one of Ladd's most enduring movies, and is Jean Arthur's final movie. I will be watching it for sure.
  16. I'm giving another clue now as I will likely not check this forum/topic for a while. This actor who guested on the episode of The Andy Griffith Show called "Keeper of the Flame" and was a regular member of Welles movies started his screen career in Citizen Kane and had a very recognizable nose which he eventually fixed by surgery after which he could not get a job acting.
  17. Speedy: Considering the fact that Richard Widmark's character introduces actual documentary footage of the death camps, I would say that your comment about needing to psyche yourself up to watch the movie makes perfect sense. When this movie aired after No Way Out during the Oscar 360 degrees gimmick with Richard Widmark as the link, I have to say that I decided to skip both films despite my love of Widmark. I preferred to watch happier movies.
  18. Garfield could have been in Out of the Past as far as comparing the actors is concerned. I think he was capable of playing more laid back characters if the script asked for it such as in Between Two Worlds. Mitchum, of course, was excellent in pretty much everything he did.
  19. Deanna Durban was in a murder mystery called Lady on a train. But even that involved her singing. I have to agree with Top Billed here.
  20. Now that you mention it, I remember that I have actually seen this documentary. I'll take the thread since I was trying to answer it the most often. Next question: What musicians were aboard a plane en route to American Bandstand when it crashed and killed them? What was the name of the airplane? What two bio-pics were based upon them that referenced this crash?
  21. That is correct. My favourite is Jeremy Brett. your thread.
  22. This is the review I made in Bogie's thread in the Favourites thread during the movie.
  23. When TCM first started - back in the day before TCM Canada existed - Turner Classic Movies started which movies that Ted Turner owned and loved. The channel started with Gone With the Wind as it is Ted Turner's favourite movie.
  24. Speedy: In Canada we have Kindergarten. I even went to pre-school although that was not required. I believe that Ontario has a grade 13 , but not here in B.C. Regarding Psycho and Lolita: The Hitchcock film was the beginning of people coming into a film only before it started. Before then people would attend a double feature and simply come into the theatre in the middle of a movie and stay until the movie they started to watch had gotten to the point where they came in. But Hitch insisted people didn't so they would be surprised. Loilita actress played a similar role in the film Night of the Iguana. She never got past this screen image.
