Ohhhhh....that's what you meant, Rusty. I was having such a befuddled day that I was going to ask you for some of what you were smoking.
Never mind.

No problem, yanceycravat. After looking at Bela's shoes, it's hot enough in here already.

Good for you, feaito, that you have an alternative to TCM. Although I'm not sure I like the name Cinecanal! :0
Yes, DavidEnglish, I do too. If I remember correctly, it was on the lines of a His Girl Friday type of sparkling, quick paced banter. I like those kinds of movies.
For those who like McMurray, he was also shirtless and grimy in part of the movie. Although why exactly did guys wear their pants almost up to their armpits in those days?
Now, if it had been WW shirtless, I'd be begging TPTB to show it!

I reallllly should change my net name to WWManiac, shouldn't I???

Yes, that one of her on the steps looks like it could be taken today. Nothing dated about that picture.

Well, she certainly looked like hot stuff!!!
Good for her, a woman ahead of her time.
What an amazing site.

P.S. Hah, I just read this, yup ahead of her time indeed, you go girl:
Lili Damita was some kinda hot French pastry --- hers was a brazen and unapologetic appeal to our baser instincts. If Lili?s kind of "It" had been a little tamer, she might have clicked on our shores. As it is, she had a wildness coupled with a sometimes-impenetrable accent that made her largely unfit for domestic consumption.
P.P.S. Shoot, there isn't anything there on Pola Negri. My father thought she was the bee's knees, and I could never see it. Maybe she had 'it' too??

Holy moley.......it's hot in here again.
Thank you, thank you, Rusty....how was it I didn't follow links to that site before? WHY would I think working took precedence over following my way to WW pictures...yikes, who is Lily Damita and what was going on between Lily and Warren, and Lily and Cagney?
But re Bela...that house, those shoes, that stare. :0

Note to self....after reincarnation, come back as Lily Damita.
That girl didn't look like she let any grass grow under her feet! -
Cool, I didn't know that about Estelle Winwood and Bela, susanlenox. People forget that even old ladies were at least attractive once and are still, though very old, probably very young inside.
As to Bela, when he intones: I nevah drink........vine, he can put two puncture marks in my neck in a heartbeat.

yancey, that's a site that sells jewelry and singles!

Really? The scene in A Night To Remember, where the staff person is comforting the kid left behind, yes that kills me every time.
But when DiCaprio shows up as a popsicle in the water? I laughed and laughed.
Seriously, I hated that movie, realllly, reallllly hated it.

I'm as happy to be taping Carole Lombard day as I was taping Richard Dix day. Now this is what TCM is all about, thanks TCM.
feaito, it would be terrific if TCM could present No Time For Love (is that the one you meant?). I last saw it on channel 13, a PBS station, and didn't own a VCR at the time!

I agree, of course, since Richard is now neck and neck with Warren on my 'hunk' list.

Is that strange or do others sometimes long to just watch something that is black & white instead of color t.v.?
Absolutely, KathleenT. Not only do I find the early b/w Lucy shows better, as I did the early Andy Griffith shows, but I found the color jarring. A more technical person would know, but it seemed they used the brightest colors or a method which exaggerated the color on film, because it was new.
Shows today don't have this same quality, which tends to give me a headache. I also dislike Howard Sprague intensely.
It probably also has something to do with imagining Lucy's haircolor in the b/w shows, vs seeing the awful orange her hair was in the latter years. Kind of like hearing the voice of many characters on radio vs seeing them on television?
Yes, I read that about Bugs and Clark Gable. This from Wikipedia, re It Happened One Night:
The unpublished memoirs of animator Friz Freleng's mention that this was one of his favorite films, and it has been claimed that it helped inspire the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. Three things in the film may have coalesced to create Bugs Bunny: the personality of a minor character, Oscar Shapely, an imaginary character named "Bugs Dooley" mentioned once to frighten Shapely, and most of all, a scene in which Clark Gable eats carrots while talking quickly.

And don't forget Deputy Dawg, and his blackberry julep...if the miseries don't get ya. Good stuff.
Yes, Bugs Bunny was so much better when you could understand the stuff that went over your head as a kid.
Interesting thought on tastes changing. Heck, I used to be in love with Paul. Imagine. Paul over John. What a dolt I was.
Speaking of dolts, here is a very funny article on James Woods. No fool like an old fool...he finally saw the light, well at least until the next bimbo:

LT was hysterical in Seinfeld, I can believe he scared the cast!
"You a comedian (to Jerry)? I knew a comedian once. He got his guts shot out flying over Korea".
-
Curious that William and Dix were both Minnesotans.
Interesting indeed. In addition, they were born within a year of each other, and died within a year of each other! Both in their mid-fifties...what a shame.
Damn Lorne Greene.
Someone commented on William there that he was a ham!
No, I hadn't noted that feature, thanks Sam. A ham indeed. If WW is ham, then Davis is the entire pig, with her penchant for scenery chewing.
Richard Dix versus Warren William...who is standing after the ten count?
Rusty, I'd have to say Dix, since he is lower to the ground and beefier. But that's okay, I would gladly help Warren up, ministering most solicitously to any and all cuts suffered during the fisticuffs.

Maybe TCM should have a Warren William day.
Yes, please. According to IMDb, he made 66 films. 66 films can be squeezed into one day, can't they?
-
susanlenox, Dix was a surprise to me, I saw him in one mystery I had taped, and found him very...engaging.
No, my heart still belongs to Warren...hubba, hubba is right!...but try Dix in a suit, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Ick, I bet I'm taping Cimarron and I don't like Westerns, but what the heck.

I didn't see a thread with this title, so I thought I'd start one.
I was going to start one with Richard Dix is a hunk, and let's not forget Warren William, and what is it with these guys that I like, they all died in their fifties???
But the title was too long.
So anywho, there are a whole host of Richard Dix movies on right now and all through the night, although I would have liked more of The Whistler. Wouldn't it be nice, okay nice for me, if TCM had just such a day devoted to Warren William movies?
So again, anyone else here think Richard Dix is a hunk?

Fascinating that this troll would go out of his way to choose a name that advertises his unpleasant personality.
Thanks featio for the education in netiquette. Or in this case, the absence of manners. Sad that a nice word like 'sage' has been distorted in the world of the internet into having a negative connotation. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Well, at least now we know what he/it is.

ken, I remember that Sherlock Holmes, it was a good one. My favorite with a glam lady remains The Woman In Green with Hillary Brooke from the A&C show.
If you go to IMDb, you'll find a dandy picture of Patricia Morison and friends. I love the old timers.
Hi inglis, I'm good! I liked that show too, although Angie, I'm afraid, gives me the willies. She always seemed to be hitting on everyone when she came on the Tonight show. I'm no prude, but she could have a little more decorum.

inglis, you took the words out of my mouth!
Just as Hedy Lamar's name prompts the sound of Harvey Korman saying 'that's Hedley Lamar', so too does the sight of Richard Widmark's name bring back a memory of Lucy reading the autograph on the grapefruit and intoning his name with pursed mouth, as if biting on a lemon, since the grapefruit had shrunk after she got it home.
This all doesn't make sense to most, but those reared on television in the 1950s will understand!
But yes, a day devoted to Widmark would be appropriate. To see his very charming demeanor in I Love Lucy is to appreciate his chilling performance in Kiss of Death.
Meanwhile, am I reading correctly on some sites? He is still alive? I think it's criminal, then, that TCM doesn't invite Richard and Lizabeth Scott to their sound stage, or at least tape them at home, if they're both still of sound mind and body.
Just how much longer does TCM think they have until all that will be available to them will be Jim Carrey and his ilk?

Dressed to Kill? The only thing I remember about it now was that Dickinson had a body double.

Absolutely, TMN and LuckyDan.
lzcutter, I'm quite surprised at your response. I've been trying to hold my tongue, but I have to speak out with my allies on this.
Mr. Cine Jr.....he is, after all, no sage....is still nowhere to be found. If you think his sensibilities have been offended, you are mistaken. He's still **** off in his room, laughing at us all. The defense of this troll is a mystery to me.
Since he has been on board, he has 'shared' his great 'genius' but has always done so with an insult to whomever he was answering. He has couched his answers with pomposity and egotism.
To even put me in the same category as this troll is unreasonable, lzcutter. In fact, to put me and Larry in the same category doesn't make sense. I am a cynic and a rude one at times. I've never seen Larry be either of those. I would never act like Mr. Cine, so any defense of me for like actions is comparing apples to oranges. I may be rude and brusque, but I am never anything close to a troll.
Back to Mr. Cine...who, by the way, is quite welcome to come back here and defend himself -- tick, tock, Mr. Cine...his knowledge is questionable but his demeanor is all troll. He never talks WITH any of us, he just talks AT us, and leaves off every post with a personal shot. So, lzcutter, it is he you should be reprimanding, not us.
As to going to a private message, why? Last I looked, you weren't a moderator. When the moderators come on here and call a halt to this, then I might listen. Might.
Until then, as has been noted, this is America, this is one of the last free boards around, and I think it dandy that we are self-moderating.
If you wish to 'say adios' to this thread, there you go. That's your privilege. See how it works? I am NOT telling you to stay and see the wisdom of my words, since they ARE so wise, and join us in calling Mr. Cine out for the troll he is.
I am giving you the choice of leaving.
At the SAME time, I expect you to give me the choice of calling this troll out now and forever more.
I thank you for that.

Again, sorry and with all due respect Metry Road, but bull.
No, sorry, last I looked, this was an uncensored board and this is America and I can post wherever I like.
No, he is not 'terribly misunderstood'. He is a little **** who doesn't have the balls to come back here and defend himself, because what he has written in the past and recently is indefensible. I'll gladly take on Mr. Grammarian, as he isn't all he believes he is. He is a troll with a dictionary.
Yes, I should....all sorts of offense was meant, and deliberately so. Humorous? Not hardly. Offensive and arrogant, yes.
Yes, it is up to him to defend himself, and no, I don't think he has the balls to do so.
Ack, no, Basil Rathbone would be turning in his grave at the mere suggestion of a comparison to that little ****. Essential? I disagree. He is a pompous ****.
I appreciate your effort to condescend to Mr. Sage, but I don't agree with it.

Richard Dix Day?
in General Discussions
Posted
Okay, wait a minute girls. If you recall, I started the Richard Dix is a hunk thread on Tuesday, so I lay claim to him. No, wait, then Warren will be jealous.
Okay...sigh...I'll have to give up Richard.
And rats, I only read the summary of Souls For Sale and didn't realize Dix was in it.
Well, since I"m not alone after all in my RD fixation, perhaps TCM will play the Dix Silent again some day.
