  1. The Road To Utopia (1945) set during the Alaskan gold rush
  2. Stand And Deliver (1988) next-favorite movie directed by Tod Browning
  3. Disorder In The Court (1936) was my favorite. Many hilarious moments, I especially liked the scene where James C Morton gives Curly the oath and Curly thinks he is "double talking" him.
  4. The Naked Prey Next-favorite movie released in 1971
  5. 3) She played an Indian maiden in Broken Arrow.
  6. Blondie In The Dough (1947) Movies! TV Network 4/10 Blondie decides to go into the cookie baking business. A weaker late entry in the series, now at #21. Dagwood also takes a correspondence course in radio engineering. He is fired again by Mr Radcliffe when he louses up a deal with the owner of a radio station. Hugh Herbert appears as a scatterbrained head of a biscuit company which is also one of the sponsors of the radio station. Your enjoyment of the film may rest how funny you find the giggling Herbert, I was never a fan of his so I did not find this to be one of the better Blondie movies.
  7. Richard Carlson was in The Little Foxes with Bette Davis
  8. 9) He was rejected by the US Marine Corps due to his glass eye.
  9. Interesting question, I haven't seen many Peck westerns, but several of Wayne's. I thought I would compare when they played a similar role, the western outlaw. The Gunfighter vs Stagecoach. Then I realized their characters have the same name, Jimmy Ringo (Peck) and the Ringo Kid (Wayne). Wayne is an outlaw falsely accused of a crime and looking to avenge his father and brother's death, so he seems to be OK with his reputation as a tough guy not to be messed with. Peck is a world weary character who is tired of the fast gun reputation and is looking to get out of that life. Both were excellent, but I give the edge to Peck since his character was more complex and his performance more subtle.
  10. Bill Bixby-My Favorite Martian, The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, The Incredible Hulk
  11. I like to give a little explanation on why I liked each one, rather than just list them. Sometimes I just do 5, but no more than 10 since I am too lazy to type that much. One Peck film I did not like was The Boys From Brazil, he was badly miscast as Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, and this film has some of the most laughably bad dialogue I have ever heard in a major film.
  12. It must be over 30 years since I have seen it, can't recall anything about it. I only saw it because I was looking to see a lot of Oscar winning performances, since Dean Jagger won supporting actor that year.
  13. Here are mine in chronological order: 1. Keys Of The Kingdom-he was great as the priest working as a missionary in China. It goes through several decades. 2. The Yearling-excellent as the father with a sensitive son ,a cold wife and a baby deer. 3. The Gunfighter-he was tough and sympathetic as the weary former fast gun forced into action by young punks. 4. Roman Holiday-shows a flair for comedy and great chemistry with Audrey Hepburn ,my favorite scene is at the Mouth Of Truth. 5. The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit-WWII veteran is now a successful businessman, he seemed the perfect incarnation of the 50s husband and father. 6. Cape Fear-he was a great hero opposite psycho Robert Mitchum. 7. To Kill A Mockingbird-the one he will be most remembered as the dignified lawyer, he brings quiet strength to this. 8. Mirage-a striking suspense film with Peck as amnesiac involved in twisty plot. 9. Arabesque-a comic spy thriller with a loose as a goose performance from Peck, really a kick to see it. 10. The Omen-the only Peck film I saw first run in a theater, he was completely convincing in a movie about the Anti Christ. What are yours?
  14. Spanish, since it is the only one I studied in high school. Next- your favorite Halloween costume
  15. Buddy Ebsen- The Beverly Hillbillies, Barnaby Jones
