Next question: This film has a sequence in it which makes it relevant to the Art in Movies festival. Think unique art.

Did they all dance numbers while carrying an umbrella or a cane as part of their dance routine?

Superman - Christopher Reeve

Willliam Bendix was in The Glass Key with Alan Ladd.

Paul Lukas played a lot of Nazis. Next: French

That is correct, Lawrence. Massey is best remembered today for playing Abe Lincoln, although he usually was not the lead. His daughter was Anna Massey and she recently died. Your thread.

Some of my favourites, regardless of where they were made: Finian's Rainbow Sweet Rosie o Grady Odd Man Out Evelyn And yes, I love The Quiet Man as well.

Eve Arden Next: Grey beard

My Pal Gus

I cannot watch documentaries made in recent history. If a documentary was made, for example, on my friend who was killed last year by her father who then killed his wife, sister and then himself in a house surrounded by police, you could not PAY Me to see it. The coroner's report was just released and they could not conclusively say that Emily's migraines and the total inability of anyone in the medical profession to take this disability seriously was the motive of the crime because her father was mentally ill. I get angry at the fact that the serial killer Willie Pickton was worked into the show Criminal Minds just a couple of years after it happened. One of the women who was killed was the sister of Chief Ernie Crey who is someone well known in our community.

Sadly, Cigarjoe, it was not just the make up with Hayworth. Something happened to her between the time she married the Prince and the divorce. She was very nervous and her acting ability had started to leave her. It had been five years since she was on the screen that she and Ford reunited for Affair in Trinidad which is a rehash of Gilda. She was perfectly natural in her dancing but when she was not dancing, she was stilted. Even working with Ford did not help this. Of course, in retrospect we know now that she had early onset Alzeimer's (can't spell that without looking it up), but at the time no one knew about dementia in general, LET ALONE IN ONE SO YOUNG. She would have panic attacks in public and people thought she was drinking again. Check out SEPARATE TABLES. I believe it was her last -perhaps second last appearance.

Next: This Canadian actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood had a long career in movies as a character actor, but he is likely best remembered for playing the title role in a movie about a famous American. His daughter who died in the last decade was also an actress who never knew him that well.

WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD: 1933 I recorded this as part of the Legion of Decency festival and had never seen the movie before. Because it aired in the wee hours of the morning there was no introduction or conclusion. I won't relate the plot line here as I don't want to spoil anything and I am too tired to type too much. However, this is an interesting contrast from Becky Sharp from 1935 which I also watched for the first time tonight. Both were made during the depression and both involved people who had debts and had threats of being turned out. But the films could not have been more different. Becky Sharp (Vanity Fair) is opulent and full of splendor. This other movie is realistic in its portrayal of poverty and homelessness. I enjoyed both films.
