  1. I also watched the 3rd. Fay Bainter film 1943's "Cry Havoc" with Banter, Margaret Sullavan, Joan Blondell,Marsha Hunt, Ella Rains and the great Ann Sothern.

    A little Stagy but powerful and really worth it.

  2. I read that (mink coat) in one of his Biographys.

     

    His Best Line In "Field Of Dreams"

    Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases - stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

  3. Lancaster being my favorite, did make love to DeCarlo supposedly in her back yard on her Mink Coat.He also had an affair with Shelly Winters, after they split up she was going with Jack Palance who was really jealous of Lancaster ripping up all of Shelly's pictures of Lancaster.

    Other Films with Kirk Douglas include, I Walk Alone, Gunfight at O.K. Corral, The Devils Disciple, and The List of Adrian Messenger.

     

    Nick Cravet:(Burt's Circus Partner) worked either in most of Lancaster Films or as his Trainer.

    I think he spoke (with his Bad New York accent) in the Film "Run Silent,Run Deep"

  4. Thank you,

    I found this coming soon:

    : Warner once again steps up to the plate big time for the Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 4, a spanking new selection of suspensers from several studio vaults dating to the 1940s and 1950s. Included in this fine group of thrillers are:

     

    Act Of Violence (1949): A crackerjack mystery directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Van Heflin as a WWII vet-turned-contractor whose life is disrupted when Robert Ryan, a handicapped war veteran, begins terrorizing him. Janet Leigh also stars in this expertly crafted effort filled with surprises.

     

    Cornered (1945): Briskly paced thriller effort reunites Murder, My Sweet helmer Edward Dmytryk with star Dick Powell, and centers on Canadian WWII pilot Powell?s determined efforts to find his French wife?s killer?a quest that leads him to South America, where he confronts some duplicitous characters.

     

    Crime Wave (1954): First-rate crime melodrama in which a group of rough escapees from San Quentin are pursued by no-nonsense detective Sterling Hayden and get con-gone-straight Gene Nelson embroiled in their scheme. Charles Bronson puts in an early screen performance in this fine outing from director Andre de Toth.

     

    Side Street (1950): This little-seen gem from Anthony Mann showcases Farley Granger as a postman who steals a batch of cash, unaware that it?s part of a mob-related transaction. His action spurs attention from the hoods and the cops, leading to some intense moments.

     

    Tension (1949): Superior mix of noir and family drama from filmmaker John Berry, starring Richard Basehart as a milquetoast who discovers his wife has left him for a slick salesman, prompting him to change his identity and murder his rival. Audrey Totter, Cyd Charisse, and Lloyd Gough also star.

     

    They Live By Night (1949): Farley Granger and Cathy O?Donnell are a criminal couple on the run in Nicholas Ray?s impressive first film, a crime gem that inspired Bonnie And Clyde, Badlands, Thieves Like Us, and Natural Born Killers.

     

    Where Danger Lives (1950): Howard Hughes paramour Faith Domergue is the married femme fatale who lures Robert Mitchum to her side, and has him believing he murdered wealthy hubby Claude Rains. But did he? John Farrow calls the shots.

  5. I should have checked IMDb (Oh! Well) ;) "Cuernavaca City" is located only 45 minutes from Mexico City by the way of the Mexico-Acapulco expressway.

    "Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico" Founded in 1528, Taxco de Alarc?n (originally named Tetelcingo) grew up on the dry hillsides of Guerrero around and because of the rich silver deposits.

  7. >>Does anyone else find Dick Powell's voice kind of annoying?<<

     

    I think most of the singers in the Early days had "Nasally Voices" But I think that was the norm. back then. (See: Rudy Vallee, Al Jolson, even Zeppo Marx)

    They were'nt Crooner's like Bing Crosby, Alan Jones, Robert Alda)

     

    I like Powell better in Dramatic roles. He once said ""The best thing about switching from being an actor to being a director is that you don't have to shave or hold your stomach in anymore."

  9. Brad, I love "You Can't Take it with You" Some people think it did not deserved best picture of 1938. But with all the Eccentric Characters and their quirks makes the film Great.

    It is out on DVD ( which I constantly watch again and again)
