A good one, wish it were longer

*Katharine Hepburn always found "Fury' a great film & after she saw it she almost immediately wanted to not only meet him, but work with him. She was said-(according to her) to search all mover M-G-M, but he was at that time filming "The Yearling" in 1941 & in the Florida everglages, which was a failure of course, with King Vidor & *Ann Revere in the cast

& an upbeat ending, as opposed to the other version

Many were stunned at just how many celebs went in 2016

To Lawrence, still don't know the difference between a link & embed, what is the latter please?
-
thanks for replying, I know he had more bouts, but overall I personally rate "The Rock" as in MARCIANO greater. ever see the computer match between Ali & Marciano?
-
But none of the newer flix even won a single *Academy Award?
-
I'm not a big"SW' fan, but thought this installment was very strong (***1/2-out of four) & am seeing the latest this coming week (P.S. This site also keeps erasing letters?)

He actually drowned, didn't he? Some gruesome shots of them taking him out of the water were published
-
Never heard a negative word about 0'Hara
-
It's officially a 1965 release though, Wyler earned his record 12th Best Director nod & Egar was up for Best Actress
-
Jakeem, any predix from you?
-
Don't think 0rah deserves this though, she's hardly made any films

Strangely never even heard of "Wada?" I do remember when they pretty much started this though & was based on colorization of classic flix in the '80's -

Albert Brooks is among the few that can still make me laugh in our era & was an *Academy Award contender for '87's "Broadcast News" (TRIVIA: His brother is Super Dave 0sborne) Who also caught his even better 1985 "Lost in America?" -

Anyone ever see the 1996 version & *Brando in what is probably his most bizarre role? -
THANX FOR THE CLIP! Pier Angeli killed herself in 1971. Rocky G. wasn't a great fighter, but a good one, not like MARCIANO though
