The Lodger Next: Fainting spells

Agnes Moorhead was in The Bat with Vincent Price

I haven't yet, no.

This was in a book of quotes people had made to the press about other famous people. I was not talking about her memoirs. I happen to be a fan of both of them.

This was originally much longer, but I accidentally deleted everything, so I just did the first two stanzas instead. My bit of silliness with the British song to their Monarch.

The Clock Next: Serious take on a silly subject

The documentary Rosie the Riviter.

The Thin Man Next: High heels hurt feet

Charles Bronson

Flora Robson was in Black Narcissus with Deborah Kerr

For Tom and Princess: God save our Rathbone Sword-fighting Rathbone Save our Rathbone. Send him victorious Cad-like and glorious Long to back Rains for us Our great Rathbone.

Jack Hawkins was in The Bridge on the River Kwai with William Holden

I have been waiting for someone to bring this up, but it hasn't. Doris Day and Kirk Douglas HATED working together on Young Man With a Horn. Day said that it was the most unpleasant filming experience she ever had. He in turn said that he didn't trust anyone who was always smiling and that there must be something phony in it. My guess is that they are both right. A lot of people are put off by the intensity of Kirk. But there is also the sense of THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Day was a star who smiled a lot. She wasn't paid to let her pain of her private life show up in comedies. And her character is in love with Kirk in that movie.

Trevor Howard was in The Third Man with Orson Welles

My guess is it is a reference to movies made about that time period. I must admit that the title they chose gives me more understanding than yours would. I also see this as being the 'included in video because there is no Essentials." I might be wrong. I mean, The Cabinet of Caligari is a famous film. Is this not the referenced film?

The original. I have not seen the remake.

I watched to several times and it is Roddy. But I don't know the film.

Mine would be Lord of the Flies.

And to emphasize my feelings for Basil, if I were to list my favourite Basil performances, every single one of them IN THE TOP 5 would show him as the bad guy, not the hero: 1. THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD 2. ZORRO 3. CONFESSION 4. DAVID COPPERFIELD 5.CAPTAIN BLOOD Don't ever think that I don't love Basil.

well, you were the one who pointed out the unedited error. I might have done Best Swordfight between Flynn and Rathbone instead. Rathbone, by the way, is at his most fun when he is a rotter. I LOVE him as a bad guy.. I love Basil. I adore him. He can't be my favourite Holmes because his Watson made the detective look like he was followed around by a buffoon. Yet to be a doctor, you have to be highly skilled. Brett's two Watsons did not do this. Brett paid a lot for this. As time went by, Brett the man started to disappear to be replaced by Holmes like behaviour. Tragic story, Brett.

REGARDING TIKISOO'S COMMENTS ABOUT ACTING; This self absorption does not just apply to acting/ It really applies I think to any performing art as the only people I have known to make money at their art on a lifetime basis are people who teach lessons. My parents didn't survive on their music. I never have. As much as I love to sing, there are days when I wish I did not have a creative bone in my body. I wish I grew up in a boring, ordinary family with no surprises. Clift personified everything about how acting is devastating.

Hint #3' As far as I can tell. this is the only movie where Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau were co-stars.

And by the way, I always get mixed up between Quebec French and France French.

I once memorized When In Disgrace With Fortune....sonnet to audition for Oliver! I did it with a cockney accent. I got in and played someone who is upper class. I never used the accent.

Correct, KarmaGirl. After she says this, she is told that this already appeared in Reader's Digest. Your thread.
