I see While the City Sleeps on a regular basis. He was an important link in the Barrymore chain as he was the only son of the siblings who had that last name. Thanks for the recommendations of other titles of his work.

Joe and Charlie were stock names that foreigners would give to American military personnel when they did not know their name. At one point before he dies, Tracy's character is addressed as Joe who turns around. -
Re: Beery- He hated working with Jackie Cooper and was nasty off screen. Yet they had this wonderful on screen chemistry.

Yes, it requires a lot of time. This is also how I found time to watch Lawrence of Arabia, The Ten Commandments, etc. I prefer the version that is seen in the film. I do not agree with who wrote the sequel. I want Butler to stay away. -
Peck did have a rather stereotyped role here, which could have gone the Only the Valiant route, but he and Ava were great co-stars.. I love this movie, but it is more for the entire cast and the haunting melody of Waltzing Matilda rather than a single performance - that is, outside of Fred Astaire. This is a must see film for Fred Astaire fans. Fred Astaire was revelation in this movie. It is in my top ten favourite movies of his career. Regarding Anthony Perkins who was in this movie: This film was made and released just prior to Psycho, and it is interesting to ponder what his career might have been like if he had a few more years before that Hitchcock film. He had a college basketball comedy with Jane Fonda called Tall Story which showed another style to his acting.

I have not read it, but I know that a sequel as written for it where Rhett and Scarlett end up together after all. This shows, perhaps, that depending upon who is actually reading it and seeing it, the focus of the movie may be completely different from that of others. -
Young Dr. Kildare - as it aired tonight. This was the first in a series of movies starring Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore. Lionel had over 200 movie credits. I have not yet seen over half of them yet.

That would have been great having him as Star of the Month, but having his movies shown for 24 hours a day on his birthday was still great.

A broken heart as a learning opportunity?
GregoryPeckfan replied to skimpole's topic in General Discussions
I think you will enjoy the movie regardless of the fact you did not like the book when you were a teenager. I was enrolled in honours classes too and read a lot of books and plays that others in my grade did not. Your opinions of movies change as you get older anyway. -

Next, Tuesday? I'm getting my weeks messed up. Thanks for the correction. The 12th tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow would have been my father's 73rd birthday. Looking at the films that are airing tomorrow night, I have not seen Juke Girl yet. -

GregoryPeckfan replied to EugeniaH's topic in General Discussions
I'm not sure how many people have seen Eye of the Devil. I hate this freaky movie. Kerr and David Niven star in this horror movie that also includes yes, you guessed it - David Hemmings. Sharon Tate also appears in this movie. Pagans make human sacrifices in this movie. There is a weird necklace in this movie that I believe is the title of the film. I saw this movie the first time really excited because I love Kerr and Niven's other films together. Oh, well. -

1) The Haunting - This movie in particular is scary because Julie Harris is so convincing in it and she had a hard time separating herself from the story when the movie was not filming. 2) The Innocents - I love this movie. I have not seen it is a long time. I don't watch it before I go to bed. Not all ghosts are Casper. -
7) The title refers to the length of time because it runs the length of a weekend and nothing is really resolved by the end.

Treasure Island - Lionel was only in the beginning of the film. I just love watching Jackie Cooper movies. He and Beery did not get along in real life, but they had great screen chemistry. Of course, their ultimate film together was The Champ.

HITS & MISSES: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow on TCM
GregoryPeckfan replied to Bogie56's topic in General Discussions
Great daytime movies. Tuesday night will be guest programmer and Robert Osbourne interviewed Gloria so this will be a real treat. Even if I have seen the movies I am recording them as I have choir. -
ONE MAN'S JOURNEY (1933): I watched this as TCM aired it tonight as Lionel Barrymore night on TCM. Joel McCrea plays his grown up son. McCrea met his wife Frances Dee making this movie. Lionel is a country doctor during the great depression who gives a lot of his life to his patients. I don't want to give much away as far as plot for people who have not seen it before. However, much was discussed in the introduction about the fact that Lionel lost two daughters in infancy and did not have any more children and that he was gentle and loving with the children in this film. Wonderful movie.
