  1. This film is where Ford& Fonda literally came tio blows, fir Ford's speaking to Cagney. They kinda reunited but that was a real tear in their relationship Reason you have 2 directors here
  2. For once somebody picked THE KING OF HOLLYWOOD: GABLE most ow, especially millenials never even heard of him? As one of my books outs it THE KING OS DEAD AND THERE WAS N0BODY TIO REPLACE HIM unquote
  3. Crowe's & Ridley Scott's version is ok (**1/2) but slow Kevin has a problem with accents though
  4. YES! & outrageously underrated by the ACADEMY Irony of ironies, in AFI's 100 Years 100Stars (l999 poll & tv special) they voted Archie Leach runner up all-time actor, yet they never gave him it's annual award???
  5. A :PT OPF THEM HUH, not pre4ssing you but if you had to combined who would they be? On John Barrymore ever see the Blake Edwards comedy from l98l s.o.b. It's about 85 percent accurate, the Holden, Mulligan, Preston & Webbers segment, based ion fact about JB's death I don't care what they say J. Barrymore deserved Best Actor for Twentieth Century
  6. a keep sake pal! I still have a must old book title THE MARX BROS SCRAPBOOK, ever hear of it? It's around l971 & all Groucho talking about everything His bros by then were gone except for Zeppo, who wanted nada to do with them or yrs Do you know f SINATRA'S final wife Barbara, she was Zeppo's ex Barbara m,arx & typically of this era when soon after THE CHAIRMAN went in May of l998, her & FRANK'S mgr were mugged just walking down the street well, Rickles and everybody that knew about this crime asked ARE THEYSTILL ALIVE
  7. Looks like Mr. Errol Flynn is the leader thus far & a few other insiders heroes Robert Osborne's was William Holden, Alec Baldwin same, Leonard Maltin's Chaplin, Richard Dreyfuss Tracy, Both Michael J. Fox and Michael Keaton Cagney, same goes for John Travolta, R.J. Wagner, Spencer Tracy, A. Lansbury, Tracy, Robert Duvall, also Tracy, The late great Don Rickles,Sinatra, De Niro, Brando, {acino, Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis, Brando, Streep, Bette Davis, Cary Grant, Mickey Rooney, Olivier used to say he learned more about motion picture acting then watching Tracy then anthing, & for the rcord TFM;s very own movie idol is Steve McQueen and then Lee Marvin, Sean Penn De Niro, Jessica Lange, Joan Crawford, Lauren Bacallthought B. Davis was IT & fmr president's was always James Cagneywhom he got to award the Medal of Freedom & though both are gone now Tony Curtis looked up to Cary Grant so much after seeing '43's Destination Tokyo he joined the navy & Glenn Close always idolized K. Hepburn (CORRECTION: I meant Ben Mankiewicz in regard to McQueen) TONS MORE, BUT I SEE THIS SITE IS AGAIN EATING THE WORDS?
  8. Steele was a stuntman & even once appeared in tv's A & C show
  9. Looks like Mr. Errol Flynn is the leader thus far
  10. Great crime caper on every level But L.B. Mayer detested it BIG-TIME! Haden was on the shirt list to play quint in Jaws 1st there was Lee Marvin But obviously Shaw turned out brilliantly
  11. Powerful one (***1/2) especially as usual Robert Shaw Who saw the rehash with Denzel & Streep OOPS, I was wrong the remake starred Denzel & Travolta & was ok (**1/2) at best So fed up with remakes, sequels & comic books I was thinking of yet another rehash of M. CANDUDATE instead GEE, who's gonna remember these remakes in 10 to 20yrs
  12. Just took home Editing & Cinematography, that was of course the AMPAS year of Silence of the Lambs-(swept he top 5) Beauty and the Beast defeated this fr it's scoring
  13. & just tink lost BP Goldto REBECCA? Which is exceptional filmmaking but who speaks of it now as opposed top Ford's enduring masterpiece My theory has alwas been Hollywood wanted to award Selznick a 2nd Academy award
  14. Love to check back in here to see wht TCM-ITES have selected, especially Jake
  15. On one of the NGO type of channels it showed 2 little guirls0(teens) that swam that water all the tie & were barely out of breath
  16. Pretty good war-epic (**1/2) but the '93 Gettysburg was much stronger in everyway Duvall suffered during filming by breaking ribs falling of a horse
  17. Whenever the topic comes up most always cite MAX STEINER-(l888-l97l) as the all-timer@! Despite only winning 3 Oscars
  18. agreed upon What about Glenn Miller and L. Howard?
  19. Speedracer, I was an AFI member back in '92 though at lowest level & around 200 Chris Merrill then head og mgt & merchandizing sent me vids of 100yrs specials, posters, booklets,etc which I still of course saved *was liky enough to vhs several of the Annual awards>J Ford, Nicholson, rsese, Spielberg, De Niro but could never get CAGNEY'S? Your right check it out immediately fans He was just then coming down with diabetes, but not yet in hair It's a marvelous website to begin with Most don't know why the likes of K. Hepburn, Garbo, Brando were never awarded it, recipient must accept it in person Thwey oughtta be ashamed though not to give it to CHAPLIN, or JOHN WAYNE, not to mention CARY GRANT???
  20. A genuine Hero! went by his fmr house on Roxbury drive & even twice visited his grave right nxt to his sole wife Dolores in Glendale For dome reason he chose there vs Arlington?
  21. & wanted to cast 2 votes for others My mother's are by far>ELVIS & JAMES CAGNEY & my aussie girl Susan's also MADONNA
