THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

I thought I was the only one who didn't care for ROSEMARY'S BABY. I know many consider it a classic, but it just didn't do anything for me. I do love THE BIRDS, and yes that lady who calls Tippi 'evil' was certainly something else.

THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

Yes, I have to admit he does look so fine in that pic. Bogart, to me anyway, was never the hot stud that some of his other contemporaries were, but he still had that 'coolness' factor about him that made him hard to resist.

You'll probably right about that. As far as serious actors go, I seldom hear anyone mention Rooney in the company of actors I've already mentioned. But he does still have quite a fan base who appreciate him as Andy Hardy, and love the many films he made with Judy Garland.

Seen them all. Especially enjoy 721, 724, 726, 727, 729 and 730.

Joseph Cotten

Angela Lansbury

I'll grant you that Rooney certainly had quite a lengthy career. And yes even though there are a few films where he demonstrated he could truly act (like NATIONAL VELVET and BOYS TOWN), to me he never quite achieved the iconic status that his peers like Grant and Olivier, or Tracy, Bogart, Cagney, etc. managed to achieve.

Elizabeth Taylor

THE GREAT LIE

DARK VICTORY

Afraid I'd have to disagree with Cary on that one. But to each their own.

I wouldn't put it past her if she did knowingly and intentionally fell out that window, knowing that with her gone, there was no way Bogey would ever be able to clear himself at all. She was spiteful enough at that point to screw him to the very end. On the other hand, she didn't quite strike me as the kind of woman to cut off her nose to spite her face, as they say. I like that we don't know one way or the other. It does bring up some quite interesting discussions on the subject as you say.

I always thought Cary was perfect in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, even though it wasn't his favorite performance. Jack Benny would have been too subtle for the role. I think the part of Mortimer Brewster called for it being over-the-top, especially with the dark humor going on in the film.

THE NAUGHTY NINETIES

Seen all of them. 716 being my all time favorite comedy.
