I am watching TCM all day except not The Yearling. It is too sad! I will be back watching On the Beach when it starts.

Gregory Peck: My Favourite Actor of All Time
GregoryPeckfan replied to GregoryPeckfan's topic in Your Favorites
I recorded Man with A Million overnight which I have not seen in years. I woke up in the middle of Designing Woman and watched it. Then I watched The Valley of Decision. I'm skipping the tearjerker on right now. Favourite lines from Designing Woman - my third favourite Peck film of all time; -Maxie! Cross-eyed! -What's for dinner? Laurie Shannon! For dinner? -Is that the big secret? You're following the Yankees? It is so fun that Greg got to show his real-life humour in some comedies. What a fun film.- 122 replies

Yes, I had know idea Keeler and Jolson were married until about a year ago. I love Ruby Keeler. I have little interest in Jolson. Ther was a documentary about that era where everyone had their homes available on tours and you could see them instead of just gates. Theirs was one of them. I wish I could remember what the title was, but I can't.

Yes, Sepia, he changed his name volunteer-like to sound less commie. His is an example of wanting to change his name rather than the studio just giving you a new name whether you like it or not.

Also, Douglas and his other leading lady Bacall were great friends and she helped get him into Hollywood.

I am a big fan of John Hughes films and his regular actors. If I was watching a movie during the 1980s, chances are that they were either directed by Hughes or starred one or more of his regulars.

No indeed it is not a film for animal lovers. This movie is one of the films I mentioned on my Peck page that is rarely shown on T.V. I see it as an excellent example of drama, noir, and adventure. Anyone who is used to seeing Preston play a good guy or confident guy has got to see his range in this film. I do prefer this movie of The Yearling though. The Yearling is a tearjerker. The Macomber Affair is suspense.

Thanks for posting this picture, Kay. I love this film. I was so excited when I found out that Canada was able to get this film and watched it as it aired. What a fabulous team J.C. and O.W were. -
Don't chuck her altogether. Her role is vital to the film and likely a big reason why Robert Donat won Best Actor.

I see Gregory Peck shares his birthday with a lot of my other favourites. April 5th was a great day for creative people

Gregory Peck: My Favourite Actor of All Time
GregoryPeckfan replied to GregoryPeckfan's topic in Your Favorites
I have it on VHS within the 4 movie deal Hitchcock did with Selznick. I watched it shortly after Louis Jourdan died as I don't own any other Louis Jourdan movies. How I don't own Gigii or Can Can I don't know. I have recordings from the films, but not the films themselves. The other movies in that set are Spellbound - Peck and Bergman and great Salvador Dali artwork in the dream sequence. Rebecca - only Hitchcock film to win best Picture Notorious - rare film where Cary Grant is a cad and Rains had to use a ramp so that he and Bergman would seem to be the same height.- 122 replies

GregoryPeckfan replied to GregoryPeckfan's topic in Your Favorites
Tuesday, April 5th is Gregory Peck's 100th birthday. TCM is celebrating with a 24 hour and 12 movie tribute to Mr.Peck. There is a wide variety of films in term of genre, era, and frequency of airing on TCM. Some movies are often shown, while others are rarely shown. There is something for everyone. Happy Birthday, My Darling Greg.- 122 replies

Okay. I will add them on Wednesday or Thursday. I have choir tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some rest. There was a storm overnight and my cat would not settle down. -

I think I will just answer this one and leave the thread open so that I can allow myself to not be online for any length of time without caring what is happening in this forum. The answer was; Remember? -

I didn't mean to have anyone from Alexander's Ragtime Band. I don't have anyone down for supporting roles for that film. Yes, I meant Holiday. -

HITS & MISSES: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow on TCM
GregoryPeckfan replied to Bogie56's topic in General Discussions
Yes, Speedy, you have to prepare for a sad ending to the Yearling. Despite my love of Greg, I rarely rewatch the movie. The movie is well made and worth seeing at least once. I've never seen Old Yeller. You can't make me. -
Thanks to mr6666 and Limey for explaining why the spotlight has the name it does.

What a great variety of genres. There are a couple of titles which I rarely see. Man and a Million I have not seen in years. Great photography! -
