Beauty and the Beast circa 1956- Anne Francis and Robby The Robot in Forbidden Planet

How about sexy gun moll Gloria Grahame and brutish gangster Lee marvin in The Big Heat?

When a beauty is paired with a beastly type, most famously Fay Wray and King Kong, any others?

9) In the scene where Blanche (Joan Crawford) is watching an old movie of hers on TV, the clip is from the 1934 Joan Crawford film Sadie McKee

Tormented (1960) TCM 6/10 A jazz pianist (Richard Carlson) is haunted by the ghost of a woman he rejected. I had heard many bad things about this one, (Leonard Maltin gave it a BOMB rating) but I had seen the trailer on an old VHS tape years ago and I decided to give it a go. And I am glad I did. despite some ridiculous scenes, it was very entertaining. Carlson was considered one of the Kings of B Movies and he was a decent actor. Bert I. Gordon was the director and he was responsible for wackier stuff like Cyclops and The Amazing Colossal Man. This one is actually quite sedate in comparison. There are many interesting touches to this film which makes it a cut above the low budget horror films of the time. A little known actress named Juli Reding plays the ghost and she is very sexy. She shows up sometimes as just a hand or footprints and in the best scene just her head. Carlson is going to marry a rich girl and the ghost breaks up the wedding. Stanley Kubrick regular Joe Turkel is a blackmailing tug boat captain as the story takes an interesting turn. Child actress Susan Gordon (the director's daughter) is the little sister of Carlson's new fiancee. Bad movie aficionados may like this, but I actually did not think it was that bad!

3. Victor Buono received an Oscar nomination for Best supporting actor

10. The Daily Variety critic said that "Crain brings proper dignity and sincerity in her role, though she is not always convincing" Next- What Ever Happened To Baby Jane (1962)

It's too bad you didn't like it, this is one of my favorites of the 1980s, (that picture you posted is from the inferior sequel BTW). As you say this one set off the 1980s buddy cop films but none matched the original. I think I went to see it maybe 20 or 30 times back in it's first release. It was Murphy's star making debut and a shot in the arm to Nolte's film career. The chemistry between the two was the best I had seen with two actors in a long time. The politically correct crowd of today would have massive coronaries if they hear the dialogue they have in this one. I found the violence and grittiness to be an asset, many in the audience were coming to see Murphy do his SNL schtick and were shocked. I got into it right away, the final shootout in Chinatown was extremely suspenseful.

A Star is Born (1976) TCM on demand 4/10 A rock star on the skids (Kris Kristofferson) falls in love with a talented unknown singer (Barbra Streisand) who soon eclipses him in popularity. The third and worst version of the story. Adapting the old time Hollywood story to the gritty and grainy 1970s was a mistake. Streisand sounds great as always but the music is mostly forgettable, the exception being the beautiful Oscar winning "Evergreen". This is the first time I saw this one and it's hard not to compare it to the other versions, and I have seen the other 3. In addition to the music not being as good, the dramatic scenes lack power also.

Errol Flynn,he seemed the most skilled at fencing. Next= Who would you rather have a drink with- Richard Burton or Lee Marvin?

About 25 years ago, someone told me I looked like Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride. Probably because I had that little mustache years ago.

All Over by Edward Albee

To quote William Shatner:

Definitely Cagney. He was a real life tough guy born in Hell's Kitchen. The Dead End Kids bullied Bogart, but Cagney smacked one of them (Leo Gorcey) silly and they gave him no trouble. Who would rather kiss- Linda Darnell or Diana Dors?

Gail Patrick was in Death Takes A Holiday with Kathleen Howard

6) Lena Horne campaigned for the lead role but was rejected in favor of Jeanne Crain

I have only seen these two. 379, Holly Hunter was excellent, she deserved that Oscar. 380. This was OK , it got a little ridiculous with those tin foil hats.

I watched this last night for the upteenth time. It is one of my favorite sci-fi films and I think Heston's best performance. I thought Kim Hunter was worthy of another Oscar as Zira. Roddy McDowall was so good he returned in 3 of the next 4 sequels. The sequel Beneath The Planet Of The Apes was shown right after and also received a "G" rating, And this one was even more violent and bloody than the original, I remember seeing it in the theater when it was first released. I was only 9 and I had to cover my eyes a few times.

I just saw this for the first time myself. I thought it was OK 5/10. While I don't think it is great, I have to admire it for at least trying something different from most horror/thrillers of this time.

Two For The Road (1967) Next-Wait Until Dark (1967) Audrey Hepburn double bill

There was one called Mondo Balordo released in 1967, I would like to see that one, mainly because it was narrated by Boris Karloff. Have you seen that one?

I have always found Stanwyck to be very attractive (I know some others don't) and this is the best and sexiest picture I have ever seen of her.

That was the one I recall from this show. He had a great scene where he finds the little girl hiding in the huge bathtub that was specially made for him.
