  1. interesting. Maybe Ronald was ambidextrious and that was what was meant?
  2. Great examples Fedya. What about Frankenstein's Monster or King Kong? To go the creature route. Both these characters trusted people.
  3. In any case regarding the last few posts, if I managed to insult MissWonderly I apologize. None of us need any enemies. I prefer to make satire posts. I had a long conversation with my neighbour today who is turning 14 this month and his class finished watching The Outsiders and he was feeling sad about the state of the world. I am part of the group of people involved in "It takes a village to raise a child." But I have no idea what I would do trying to raise a child today. Where are my Monty Python videos?
  4. For the record, regarding the Lionel Barrymore movies tonight: in order that they air in Canada 1)I've heard of One Man's Journey but never seen it 2)I saw Treasure Island years ago 3) I saw Young Dr. Kildare years ago 4) I saw Key largo very recently. It is my favourite of Barrymore's movies and I watch it several times a year 5)and 6) These two Kildare movies I am recording overnight I saw years ago
  5. Oh, Sansfin, I know the feeling. Go ahead and argue. There are times when I feel disagreeable and you can tell by the post I made that I was in a disagreeable mood when I first read that comment and then decided why should I care? I never passed up an opportunity to argue with my late father. So I just decided to write a new script in Vole about typewriters, Ray Milland and dubbed singing. And you are quite right about the fact that some movies have long been on my to-see list and others I had no idea they existed.
  6. There is no difference at all. I messed up then went off and did not read until after I was quoted.But I do get the idea that sometimes there are a couple of people who only quote me when I make a mistake as supposed to people who answer me all the time. Not a big deal, really, since we Canadians all have free health care. I did not quote Miss W. I quoted myself and answered it. I meant to write that some are new to me, some I love and have seen often and some I saw once a long time ago and would like to see again. I made fun of my own typing in 20th century vole. I n
  7. TCM knows how fond everyone is of The Wizard of Oz. Therefore, in an effort to create a sense of childhood about the channel for those people who are too young for the TCM Wine Club, Ben will from now on be doing all his introductions in alternating months in makeup as 1) The Cowardly Lion, 2) The Tin Man, 3) The Scarcrow, 4) The Mayor of Munchkinland
  8. Thanks. But I *do* know that when the movie was originally released, there were still some people who were still alive who had been alive when the war was over. How old they were during the war is another matter........
  9. Myna Loy was in The Best Years of Our Lives with Frederic March
  10. The I am Most Famous For Singing, But I Can Act Too Boxed Set: Men 1. Gene Kelly in Inherit the Wind 2. Frank Sinatra in Von Ryan's Express 3. Fred Astaire in On the Beach 4. Bobby Darin in Captain Newman M.D.
  11. Spencer Tracy whose son was deaf Next: Child star who never acted as an adult
  12. THE JUNGLE ANIMALS SET: 1. Born Free 2. The Macomber Affair 3. Tarzan, the Ape Man 4. The Wizard of Oz (Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh, my!) 5. Greatest Show on Earth
  13. In the general population, we account for only around 10-15%. But among creative people/occupations, this percentage soars. There are actually a lot of presidents and presidential candidates who have been left handed. Obama is left handed. So is Bill Clinton. According to a book about left handed people, one out of six American presidents is left handed.
  14. Since you answered one minute before Marsha, this means yours is the one we are supposed to consider, so: IRENE DUNNE was in Theodora Goes Wild.
  15. Olivia DeHaviland was in Gone With the Wind with Clark Gable
  16. Thanks for that further information. Curtis did a great job of the part.
  17. When I was a crow in a production of Wizard of Oz, Tom, there were three of us and the dog Toto was invisible. That was back in 1998. The girl we had playing Dorothy was blond.
  18. Oh, yes for sure. But I heard it said that when General Lee saw the film and the number of dead soldiers on the ground which included dummies which other actors made move, he said that if there had been that many soldiers in gray then they might have won the war. It certainly glamorized things. However, this is ultimately a movie about survival. The survival of Scarlett, and all the other women left to fend for themselves and others while the men were off at war. And that is a sentiment which is not limited to the American Civil War.
  19. These are all fabulous musicals Paul. Have fun watching them all for the first time. Ava Gardner is a big star. Did you record On the Beach on Gregory Peck's birthday? It is a great movie. After she died, Gregory Peck took in her dog.
  20. I have Ethel last more because she made fewer movies for her length of life rather than quality.
