I love John Barrymore movies. His brother Lionel is my favourite of the siblings, then John, then Ethel. I just watched The Great Man Votes last night for the first time. I still plan to see him in Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde which I have yet to see even though I own it because there is an outline of a spider when he is going through the change. My favourite John Barrymore movies are; no order except the first Grand Hotel Sherlock Holmes Night Flight Dinner at Eight Twentieth Century Svengali Rasputin and the Empress

Judy Garland was left handed. Colin Firth played Elizabeth's father in The King Speech who developed speech problems because he was forced to write right handed. He was a lefty. The mime legend Marcel Marceau was left handed Ronald Reagan was left handed Pablo Picasso was left handed Van Dyke, Dick - this was written out this way due to censors. I am talking about the actor whose brother is named Jerry. Richard Pryor Don Rickles Charlie Chaplin Carol Burnett Danny Kaye Rudy Vallee

Oh, yes, I know my fellow lefties.

Queens are female cats just as Toms are Male Cats, so: A Queen named Elsa can be seen in Born Free. I say this counts as a cat lover.

Alan Alda Next: Mickey Spillane or Raymond Chandler

The fourth film is an added bonus for anyone who knows that Julie Newmar created the Catwoman costume but was unable to appear in the Batman movie because she was busy working on McKenna's Gold. Instead, Lee Meriweather played Catwoman.

The Yearling

This singer's husband recently died. She is from Quebec, but she usually performs in United States.

I know that. But He was rarely able to work due to this so his screen appearances were rare. plus, I was born in 1976. Don't worry about my love of Gable Tom. I love to point out that I was born 75 years after him to the day. But for others who did not know this information, I am sure they would love to know about Donat's health.

Regarding Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen, they appeared together in a comedy I just re-watched called Affectionately Yours. They are servants in a home run by Merle Oberon who has divorced Dennis Morgan while he was overseas reporting. She wants to marry Ralph Bellamy. Well, we know who will likely get the girl. Rita Hayworth and James Gleason also star.

Oh, that sounds like a great book. I am a Roger Moore fan and he has worked with a lot of my favourites including Peck.

Yes, that is true. 'Frankly, My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn" is the top of the AFI quote list. I would have given my Best Actor nod to Gable if I did not know (and of course I was born yet so I do now) that Donat was going to die soon. I did give him Best Actor for It Happened One Night.

Gregory Peck continues to have a large numbers of fans long after he died and they write about him in a variety of sites. It was through him that I became a fan of Richard Widmark when he distracted me from My Darling Greg in Yellow Sky. I have mentioned on various threads that I was a member of an online fan club that was devoted to Richard Widmark that was never official, but he knew all about it as his daughter showed it o him. I never did tell this TCM site WHY I am no longer a member of that club. I don't know that it exists anymore. It was on yahoogroups. I was the second member after the founder. She eventually left the group when it was taken over by a new moderator who hated it when she talked about the fact that she was an actress. After Widmark died there was no news to share. We had long been discussing one movie per month at least decided by chronological order. Some movies everyone had seen, while others were hard to find. Well, it got so people never posted once they had made that one post about the movie of the month. Eventually, no one posted at all. We were not allowed to post anything that was not 100% about Richard Widmark unless it was firmyly listed OT in the subject list. Well, one day I forgot to do this and posted about the death of child star Jackie Cooper who never shared the screen with Widmark. This prompted a large font capitalized bold tirade with exclamation points telling me to stop it and she wanted no more posts about anyone other than Richard Widmark. I quit the club.

I agree with what you say Lawrence. The thing to remember about Gone with the Wind in particular, though, is that Hattie McDaniel was the first African American to be nominated and win an Acting Oscar. Therefore, regardless of what anyone ever feels about the movie in general, it will be important for that reason. But as was pointed out during the spotlight on southern Writers, GWTW makes it seem like everyone in the south was rich enough to own a plantation. Most white southerners were dirt poor and had no slaves. Only rich people had slaves. According to GWTW all white southerners are rich. Fantasy land.

Oh, yes I know. The reason why I saw Gone with the Wind so long ago that it was on VHS on two videos in a pan and scan version is that Clark Gable is my favourite actor born the same day of the year and so I wanted to see it. Thus, I first saw the movie over 20 years ago. Contrast that with only seeing Lawrence of Arabia for the first time within the last 12 months of O'Toole's life. I am glad I finally saw it before he and Sharif died. I had seen Dr. Zhivago decades ago too because of the love song "Somewhere My Love"/"Lara's Theme'

You have to remember too, Tom, that Speedy said that she had not yet seen Gone With the Wind. It's a long epic, so Speedy would have to devote a lot of time to seeing this film. It is possible she *might* have gone with Leigh if she had seen the movie.

Note too that for this particular year there is a huge tie-in to Robert Ryan who is the Star of the Month and made a lot of war films.

Gentlemen's Agreement was an important movie to be made at the time and as such is best viewed in the eyes of the year it was released. Other movie studios wanted them to avoid talking about anti-Semitism because they were Jewish. But Crossfire was a film noir suspense, so people are able to enjoy it for the edge of your seat feeling. The second film can be viewed by anyone and enjoy it.

I adore this movie. Before I saw it I thought it would be a sermon and boy - was I wrong. It is a delight.
