I dunno, I think Dana Andrews is pretty attractive. In fact, I think I might add him on the "Beefcake" thread. Not that Dana was a "beefcake" kind of guy, but I always liked his face.
what does anybody think of Alan Ladd in his role in BEST YRS...?

So you agree with Lydecker when he criticized Laura for falling for beefcake over substance.
(not that the detective doesn't have substance but as I noted, Laura didn't know anything about him since she just meeting him less than 24 hours before).
You probably already know his brother was damn it I forget right now I keep thinking of Arness & Peter Graves as Brothers instead

Wrote about this before but TCM on Demand-(spectrum) has tons of releases
THE GREAT RACE, BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, CHINA SYNDROME, NAKED SPUR, ADAM'S RIB, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, THE FRESHMAN (l990), TO BE OR NOT TO BE (l942 version), BONNIE AND CLYDE, ROBIN & THE 7 HOODS
And lots more that I've not only recently watched but watch over and over & they constantly rotate them
Does anyone know what I mean?

And then we can set up a recreation of that one certain scene in that Mel Brooks western flick while I'm at it.

Another favorite by my favorite, Jerry Goldsmith. I swear, that man could compose any type of music for any genre of film. The same man who composed this also did Alien.
& only took home one Oscar for THE OMEN

Okay, so now the following might not be all that shocking in GWTW, but after watching this movie again for maybe the 10th time last week on TCM, I'd like to give a little shout out to actress Ona Munson who played the cathouse madam Belle Watling...
And especially for the scene pictured above, and when in this closing shot of her face is shown during her final appearance in the film which entails her telling Rhett he'll never get over Scarlett's spell after he came to Belle to cry on her shoulder about his wife.
(...as Rhett walks out her door, the camera pans over to her face and you see a tear come down her face, and a telling sign that she's always possessed much more feelings for him than just as a "customer")
didn't the actress die young and mysteriously

The King was outrageously robbed of what woulda been his 4th nomination-(posthumously of course) He stretched as an actor like never before All say he was really inton this role too, went from over 235lbs dwn to l95 was wrestling with the horse, mainly to kill time because MM was late, but unlike Wallach he was never made at her

I read somewhere that Laurence Olivier was also a fan of Mickey Rooney. Not sure if that's true or not, but it's interesting that so many in the biz were impressed by Rooney's talents. He was definitely a unique lifelong performer.
Yeah me tom but he was mosty qyted as saying he learned more aviut in actuing from watching spencer tracy then anything else
Again, excuse the swcrw ups, as I said if I attempt to correct a letter then it will eat the next one

Cab you believe AFI never awarded Cary Grantit's lifetime achievement award?
& yet in it's 2nd huge tv specie &poll aired onCBS in 99 they voted him runner up to BOGART as all time male movie star
CHAPLIN to me was AFI's all-time biggest screw up, when of coursehe returned to the U.S in the early '70's to get that honorary Iscar

I always thought Cary was perfect in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, even though it wasn't his favorite performance.
Jack Benny would have been too subtle for the role. I think the part of Mortimer Brewster called for it being over-the-top, especially with the dark humor going on in the film.
We obviouslyagree 100% I think it his finest per

Some old guy downstairs from it knew Edward G, Robinson ^ a even older guy, a security guard that musta been then about \87 or 88 argued about what CAGNEY said in his book I have for yrs-(autbio) & in interviews that during the '30's they used real bullets, mater of fact CAGNEY almost got hit in the head during ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES he alwaysspoke of it & of course P. ENEMY too It was during the shoot out scene in the bdg wth the cops JIM said he'd had enough of it &left until they used scribbs well, this guard insited CAGNEY was wrong &they alwas used scribbs Museum had CAGNEY & BGART'S clthes BARALIE from THE GREAT RACE & TOBNS NRE, SUV ^ CARS FROM FREA RACE PIANO FRON CASABLANCA & YOU COUD PRESS SAY GUS OR HR VYRRIB ^ UR WIYKD SIW A CKUOetc *EXCUSETHE ERRORSm DARN WEBSITE DIESTHIS AT BIFGTm EATS THE WIRDS) & if I try to correct my spelig uit vanishes>

In my view the snubbed Cary fir at least noms for THE AWFUL TRUTH\,m BRINGING UP BABY, HIS GIRL FRIDAY & ARSENIC & OLD LACE & I know who was officially nominated those yrs & who woulda had to be bumped
When ever someone asked him who's the best in the biz without pause he'd say MICKEY ROONEY

He as very strong in this very sad & heavy wartime drama, but always felt-(alt Oscars again) though he outright deserved Best Actor for his brilliant comedic role in Capra's ARSENIC AND OLD LACE-(that town sq is still intact at WB;s too) He was u for this instead Billy Wilder was correct the Academy had a prejudice against out and out comedies, comedy dramas they loved
Forgot, Cary did not want to star in ARSENIC.. & thought JACK BENNY better suited to the role
Ever been on the WB's VIP tour> I was here in '99 & wanted to go again when last out there in 05
