I've got this thing about cutting into flesh. It really grosses me out. Thats why I refuse to see what I call "cut-em up movies." On the off chance a movie has a close-up of a knife going into skin, I immediately turn my head, close my eyes, whatever works.
I, too, can't handle eating gross stuff.

Excuse the language, but I believe is was a euphemism for "**** off," because of the censors.

My memory on the details are a little fuzzy - but I believe that in the late 20's - early 30's - Libby Holman was the prime suspect in the shooting death of her
young husband heir to the Reynolds tobacco fortune. Although she was never officially charged I think that the rumors that she was the shooter persisted the rest of her life ... Maybe the fact that Monty Clift and Libby Holman were close companions - like Joe and Norma was coincidence enough - Since Norma shoots and kills Joe, Monty Clift didn't want the old Libby Holman/Reynolds rumors to crop up again - That is 100% amateur psychology on part!! If I have gotten this story wrong - please correct me!

Speaking of Kim Novak - "Strangers When We Meet" with Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau and Ernie Kovacs - I haven't seen it in years .... a movie that is quite similar is "No Downpayment" - has anyone seen that one? It stars Joanne Woodward, Cameron Mitchell, Tony Randall, Sheree North, Jeff Hunter and Barbara Rush - it was sort of like "Knot's Landing" 20 years ahead of time - Lol! - they show it once in a blue moon on Fox Movie Channel ..... Also does anyone have any idea why the Fox channel never airs Jeanne Crain's "Margie?" - I love that movie - that was one of Jeanne Crain's biggest hits for Fox - they show "Apartment for Peggy," "State Fair" and "Pinky" quite often - but not "Margie" .... Hmmmm...

Hi everybody - Thank you for the warm welcome! Well I just typed out my Jack Lemmon story -when I hit "post" it told me that "guests were not authorized ...." Grrr!! Didn't that happen to you recently, Larry? Let me see if this goes through -

No, sorry, that wasn't it.
Clue #3 - A man and a woman meet again by chance on a snowy New York street.

James Cagney's character uses this term several times in Blonde Crazy and The Public Enemy. It's definitely derogative, but does anyone know what it means?
-
I love that movie.
-
I loved her in the Major and the Minor.

Rudy was played by character actor Charles Smith (1920-1988). A good resource for questions such as this is the Internet Movie Database, imdb.com. They list the complete casts of nearly every movie you can think of.

Does anyone know who the guy was that played "Rudy" (the second errand boy) in The Shop Around the Corner? I know I've seen him in something else, but can't think of what it is...............thanks

Hi Johnny -
Thank you for the nice welcome! Okay, my Lucy story - but first a little backround - Always being an avid film and theatre buff and back then an aspiring actress (call it my "That Girl" years!) in the late eighties I worked several awards shows. I was in my early tweties and looked an awful lot like Ann Margret circa "bye Bye Birdie" - I can say that now wistfully having just turned 40!! I used to be an "escort" - NOT THAT kind - example that night it was the (1988?) Comedy Hall of Fame Awards - I was Jack Lemmons (that's a whole other story!) escort - meaning I attended all of the rehearsals beforehand to find out where he would dress, where he would be seated, when he would have to go backstage, where he would talk to Entertainment Tonight, etc... So when "Jack" (Lol) would arrive that evening he would have to rely on me to escort him to where he needed to be ..... The escorts had to dress in evening attire incase we got caught on camera - that night I wore a little spaghetti strap cocktail dress... By the time Jack Lemmon was waiting in the wings, I waited in the green room - FREEZING! My nose was running and had goosebumps all over. Suddenly from behind me someone came up behind me and started rubbing their hands up and down my bare goosebumped arms - I heard a gravelly voice say - "Oh honey, you're frozen - that's one nice thing about getting old - you don't have to show skin anymore!"
I turned around and LUCILLE BALL was warming me up!!!! I couldn't believe it! Then SHE asked ME if she could wait with me because she was so uncomfortable at these things - Okay guys - I know know every EVERYTHING about this woman, her shows, her life - I was SPEECHLESS!!!!Why was Lucille Ball ALONE - NO ONE was around for her - I managed to sputter that I loved her drunk Lazy Susan scene from "Yours, Mine and Ours" - She got lost in thought for a second and looked at the floor and then started to act it out!! I SWEAR I'm telling the truth - then she teared up and squeezed my hand and said "I haven't thought about that in years - thank you - you've just brought back some very happy memories!" .... Next her "escort" for the evening came and led her away. She passed away about a year later - but wow - those few minutes were so special to me. I LOVE LUCY!!

Hi Everybody -
It's high time I participated!
This is the 4th time I've tried this message but I couldn't get through - it was much better the the first time but now I'm frazzled!! Lol! After "lurking" here for over a year I fell like I already know you all! Hi Mongo - I have questions stored up for you! Larry - wow - what a life!! Katyscarlett - I'm sure you didn't mean to offend with the "J" word - Sabrinafair - I love Audrey, too - Leo - I'd love to read your book! Coffeedan, Myidolspencer and Brackene - your movie knowledge is awesome! Hi Sue - the object on the screen is a building ... you were tired of the old intros - at least we have a new one! Lol! and hi to everyone that I have missed!
The reason that I have finally come out of hiding - over the last few months a few people have shared their dissapointment with encounters with Lucille Ball - well about a year before she died I had the great goodfortune to have a very sweet personal experience with her that I have always treasured .... I tried to post in on the "Lucy's Mean Streak" thread - but after three tries I gave up .... and now I'm going to see if this post goes through before I proceed ...
Like I said - I feel like I know you all already - fingers crossed that this message goes through -

No, sorry.
Clue #2 - A banker.

Ah, to all of the naysayers disappointed with this year's line-up on SUMMER OF THE STARS, you should all be heartened by the poster below who had never heard of Irene Dunne and had never seen an Astaire / Rogers film - she's now hooked. That my friends is how you turn youngsters on to the classics that many of us have seen often. Add to the warhorses, a nice blend of the offbeat choices - Basil Rathbone, Joel McCrae, the afore-mentioned Dunne, Constance Bennett and you have one happy viewer!

During TCM's recent comedy classics month they aired a Chaplin film featuring a gag involving Charlie trying ,unsuccessfully, to catch a streetcar. It was hilarious. I was in a hurry to get to work and failed to jot the title of the film down. Can anyone give me the name of this film? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Daniel Brown

Do any of you know how many hits Frank Sinatra has? I checked on bunches of different sites and haven't found an answer. If any of you know, please let me know.

OK, here goes!
Clue #1 - A wedding that doesn't happen

Marlon Brando is featured today - Aug. 19th - on TCM.
They will show 10 of his movies. I wish they would have
included The Fugitive Kind, Sayonara, One-Eyed Jacks, Bedtime Story, The Young Lions and Viva Zapata. But I appreciate what is being shown today.
I'm so happy that they are finally featuring a day to the greatest actor - Brando.
What are your favorite Marlon Brando films?
Mine are - The Godfather, Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, Sayonara, One-Eyed Jacks, The Young Lions and Mutiny on the Bounty.
-
They all portrayed real-life entertainers:
Keefe Brasselle as Eddie Cantor
Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice
Larry Parks as Al Jolson

There is an actress appearing near the end of the Turner Classis Movies commercial that I cannot identify. She is young and pretty, wearing a bathing suit and a hat. Sort of laying on her side but propped up on her elbow I believe. Anyone know who I am talking about?
Introducing with fingers crossed!!
