    Thank you for the wonderful description of Keys to the Kingdom. I could write long essays on my favourite Peck films (and, actually, a film I hate called Only the Valiant which he hated too.) I enjoy Mrs. Parkington too. I'm not sure why some people do not like it. But then again, one of my favourite on screen couples of all time is Greer and Walter. I love to watch them together. I do love Shakespeare. Cover Girl was a loan out for Gene Kelly. He was able to do dramatic acting (as will be seen in his performance in Inherit the Wind), so MGM was not sure what to do with him. When he danced with his image, his role in Hollywood was set: musical star. They did not know it at the time, but when Rita and Gene danced together, they made Hollywood history. Only 6 women have danced with both Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire on screen.

    I think Nip may be talking about how long it takes to get notices when someone has quoted you. I have read several posts where people have quoted me and then later on find out that I have notices that I have been quoted.

    There are great Robert Ryan films on Friday. I have not seen Trail Street either. The westerns I have seen I love - although I don't think that I will be watching The Wild Bunch again since it airs overnight. I have never seen LOLLY Madonna XXX before.

    No doubt Barton will closer to August let us know what films we won't get in Canada.

    I have to agree with you about SUTS month. Even when the star shown is one of my favourites and there are some movies I have not seen and have been wanting to catch, I don't like 24 hours of one star day after day. Oh well, sometimes I just use the identity of the star to know what day of the week it is...

    Four more I have not seen Tom reminded me of in his list: Henry V - long on my to-see list Children Are Watching Us Way Ahead Torment

    Thanks so much for sharing this Tom. I have seen this on Youtube before. I am sorry I never met Lori. Now I am THRILLED I sent a private message to LawrenceA about whether or not he as going to start a thread on John Garfield as he has being doing when he changes his avatar. He did not do a separate thread for Flynn, because Speedracer already has one. When Larry said he was not feeling like it today, I asked him if he would not mind doing one as I am a big fan of Garfield. Obviously, not as big a fan of Garfield as Lori, but I can tell you this: Gregory Peck had an official fan club on yahoogroups whose founder met Gregory Peck at one of his talks. Because of this, when we did a birthday tribute book for him when he turned 85, the book was delivered to his doorstep. He knew who I was, and all of us, even though I never met him in person. When he died, the group did a memorial tribute book for his widow, but I was too devastated to take part in it. I was also a member of Richard Widmark's fan club on that site -never made official - and he knew who we were because his daughter showed him the website. She contacted us to get us to stop trying to get him a Lifetime achievement Oscar because he did not want one.

    The whole first post in this thread is now edited to fix this. I got the two movies mixed up in a games and trivia thread before. Don't even start asking me who is in Thousands Cheer. I started to watch that as a Gene Kelly fan and did not realize until I started watching it that it was a thinly veiled plot so Hollywood could get all stars to do whatever it was that made them the most famous. lets just say that Thousands Cheer was a one time viewing for me.
  9. GregoryPeckfan
    Yes, I am. Can I blame it on the power washing going on next door?
  10. GregoryPeckfan
    Okay! I was thinking real people.
  11. GregoryPeckfan
    Indeed it did, but well - I must mention Gregory Peck as often as I can.
  12. GregoryPeckfan
    Hmm. I was going to say Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy Cline in Coal Miner's daughter but nobody saw that as a disappointment at any time and it turns out she is not Canadian. Neither is Spacey who played Loretta. Still searching.

    Here are the John Garfield Movies I have seen: He Ran All The Way The Breaking Point Force of Evil Gentleman's Agreement - seen several times for Greg and hard to watch, but wonderful Humoresque - need to see this again as it has been years The Postman always Rings Twice Pride of the Marines Hollywood Canteen Between Two Worlds - beautiful look at people on an ocean voyage who don't know they're dead The Fallen Sparrow - hope people recorded this if they did not see it for Bob's Picks Destination Tokyo - Grant and Garfield together -YES! Air Force - really an ensemble piece Tortilla Flat - not a big fan The Sea Wolf - love Robinson, Lupino and Garfield together The Made me a Criminal - again, a favourite of mine Juarez - seen only once Four Daughters - love this movie

    Bette Davis? Yes I did. What I should have said that in movie version It was Katherine Hebpurn... I'll make an editorial comment at the bottom of my first post.
  15. GregoryPeckfan
    1944 films I have Not Seen; On Arrival I'll Be Seeing You Army Ivan the Terrible, Part I Passport To Destiny The Very Thought of You The Woman who Dared Uncertain Glory Tomorrow the World I know that is not my complete list. Kingrat named some films I have not seen.
  16. GregoryPeckfan
    OH! So now I have solved the mystery of why you did not mention My Darling Greg!

    JOHN GARFIELD: DEAD BEFORE HE COULD REACH 40, THE AGE HE BELIEVED ACTORS BECAME GREAT ACTORS. John Garfield was a major movie star during the studio system era. He was an activist and campaigned for a role in Gentleman's Agreement opposite Gregory Peck about anti-Semitism. He won the role. Garfield was himself Jewish. Garfield was ready to join the fight in WWII and showed up only to fail the medical - 4F - like a lot of Hollywood stars did - because of heart problems. But Garfield wanted to contribute to the war effort as best he could and joined Bette Davis in starting Hollywood Canteen - a place where military personnel of any branch could stop off each night and be entertained by the most famous actors, actresses, dancers, singers and comedians every night. He and Bette Davis later played themselves in the movie version Hollywood Canteen. edit: Tom has pointed out that it was Bette Davis who was the actress behind Hollywood Canteen. No problem. Everyone wanted to help out. His signature movie is The Postman always Rings Twice. But other favourites of mine - I mean my top 5: Between Two Worlds Destination Tokyo They made Me a Criminal The Sea Wolf I've seen 17 of his films so far. Considering he died at 39 - he made a lot of films. The only film I tried to watch and could not get through was Dust Be My Destiny. Maybe it was a bad day for me. Maybe I just don't like this film. I'll have to try it out again.

    I just wanted to help out DVD guy. And I find when I am obnoxious or pedantic, some people frown. That does not I don't make accidents in typing mind you. Yesterday, in the games and trivia forum, I mean to say that Shirley Temple was Henry Fonda's daughter in Fort Apache. Starliteyes KNEW that is what I meant to say. But I did not say that. I said that she was Henry FORD's daughter in Fort Apache. LOL!

    Jean Dixon played Molly in the original version of My Man Godfrey with William Powell.
  20. GregoryPeckfan
    Yes, I meant Fonda.
  21. GregoryPeckfan
    Yes, one of my favourite films despite the fact that it was heavily edited to the point where part of the story does not make sense. Your thread.
  22. GregoryPeckfan
    That is what I love about Barton letting us know what movies are being replaced by what.
  23. GregoryPeckfan
    Thanks, larry. I have watched 60 Minutes a lot of times over the years.

    Thousands Cheer Next: Trivial items end up causing a killer to get caught
  25. GregoryPeckfan
    Thankyou DJ. Since I am a fan of Gregory Peck and we were talking about Canadian Victor Jory - for which Gregory Peck film did Victor Jory provide narration?
