RANDOLPH SCOTT WALLACE REID
SCOTT:[on his father] He went to see all my films--not because he had a son starring in them, but because he thought I looked like Wallace Reid, his favorite actor.

Yeah, Zsa Zsa is okay I guess.
However, being one who has always gone more for the big sultry brunette type, it's always been bit player Lynn Cartwright in the middle of these three "Venusian" women that I always look for whenever I watch this schlockfest of a flick...
Lynn was married for 50 years to big tough guy actor Leo Gordon. She made a few other B-pictures and did some TV work in the '60s-'80s, and her last role was as the present day and older Dottie character that Geena Davis played in flashback in the bulk of 1992's A League of Their Own...
(...she died in 2004)
Yes i remember her when i watched the movie several years ago,sultry indeed..

Any version of "Trial of Mary Dugan" (1929) or 1941 versions, I think because of rights issues with the authors.
There was a silent version out in 1929 maybe it could resolve the rights issue?

The Perfect Specimen 1937 Errol Flynn Joan Blondell
Rights issue similar to Letty Lynton,i read somewhere there is many references to Don Quixote by Cervantes could it be it?I will have to watch it again, Cervantes 's copyright-if -any must be over by now.I have read the movie was shown in latin america on TNT in the 80-90's. I have a recording of it with a permanent TCM logo on the right hand corner,i watch TCM since 2003,it never played...the permanent logo was maybe showned during the 1994 era,Anybody can help about this logo thing? Could it be TCM uk?

Letty Lynton here is from imdb 'Unofficially based on Edward Sheldon and Margaret Ayer Barnes play Dishonored Lady to such a great extent that a Federal court ruled on 17th January 1936 that the film could not be seen again unless Sheldon and Barnes are given credit,or until the copyright of the play runs out in 2050! More on wiki .I have a copy,not pristine,a good movie .My favorite George Hurrell photos of Joan Crawford are from the Letty sessions,i have a very large of this one in a frame museum quality matted etc

That year offered a choice of two great performances for Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis with one of the great exterior transformative performances and Morgan Freeman with one of the great interior reactive performances.
I agree but i still believe Lewis was outstanding,i watched the film another time recently

'The French-Canadian vs. Parisian French accent differ mostly in pronunciation of vowels. French-Canadian accent has more of a long "A" sound in words like bien, demain, etc. We also say "Eh" a lot. By the way, Banff is in Western Canada, whereas my folks all came from Quebec.
There is several regional accents in the Québec province which is normal,but overall the French in Québec is better then the one from France which Anglicised everything,it is incredible the English words in France now.. and i'am not talking about 'shopping' hélas...

L'HOMME PRESSÉ 1977 by Edouard Molinaro .Alain Delon Mireille Darc.During the 70,s Delon made many-too many -movies ,the gems are MR KLEIN in 1976 and this one in 1977.It was remade in 2005 -with his son Anthony in the same role, and in 2018.I have not seen the 2 remakes.A very special film about the modern world,to be in a hurry all the time, the pleasure of a collector in reality is owning.Delon's character do not like to waste time,saying a pregnancy is too long,7 months should be enough as the baby is complete !! And i'am not mentioning anything about his lovemaking! A great film.8/10

What film roles did Gene Hackman turn down?
He wanted to be in Klute but Jane Fonda wanted Donald Sutherland but it was in 1971 After the stiff of Scarecrow in 1973 Hackman mainly concentrated on acting for money, turning down such films as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Network (1976) for roles in films like March or Die (1977) and Lucky Lady (1975) that offered him fatter paychecks.He was the first choice to play Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) he was also offered a chance to direct it.
One of the lead roles in Network (1976)the lead role of Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)the leading role in Sorcerer (1977) that went to Roy Scheider,the role of Dr. Berger in Ordinary People (1980)) he said'I didn't turn it down, we couldn't make a deal.'Turned down the lead roles in Jaws (1975), and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).-

Interesting comment re: Hackman and paycheck. Some actors will take a large paycheck to finance or star in a film with a better film.
Not Gene, for his first divorce maybe …. but paycheck was the incentive,you would never believe what he turned down...

OMG, you got me there! Now that was a real stinker!
Come to think of it, I think SUPERMAN IV just might beat out THE DOMINO PRINCIPLE (though just barely) but still I believe LOOSE CANNONS ranks as Hackman's absolute worst, but the other 2 films are close behind.
I' am a Gene Hackman completist -i'am missing only Banning-his swan song was his worst : MOOSEPORT (sorry i cannot insert the ' great' poster).He cashed his check and retired.Since Scarecrow was a stiff in 73,Hackman always selected his roles with the value of the paycheck coming with it,he passed on many good ones but no more art films for him as a result: a rich guy with many stinkers, unfortunately...

I did not noticed your Japanese poster...watched it today,the first 3 minutes with Carol Lynley in a bikini made it memorable... otherwise the last minute also .Good cast though.
