I have all the bios on Errol including his 2 novels,the first printing of Wicked Ways is worth looking for as he had to withdraw passages in it about Jack Warner and others for the next editions.I have read on Olivia and her sister as well. Errol was a gentleman,he never kiss and tell-unlike Cooper- but Michael Caine in his bio book revealed more about the De Havilland- Flynn : it was more serious than everybody said,including Olivia who denied it.She told him a detail I cannot elaborate here,but after she could not tested for the Virgin Queen part that went to Bette Davisis the way I can explain it..I see no reason for Caine to lie and it did not help to sell more books as it was not reported at all at the time.

Un Mauvais Fils 1980 aka the Bad Son by the excellent Claude Sautet with Patrick Dewaere Brigitte Fossey Yves Robert.After 5 years in a USA jail, a son returns home and must face the hostility of his father.Very good drama 8/10

i think John Mills was honored 5-6 years ago, not certain,Jack Hawkins would be good,but no Ben Hur please ! Veronica Lake would be nice but long shot,she was mostly with Paramount and many of her movies never made on dvd

I MARRIED A WITCH 1942 René Clair,it played 10 days ago on TCM,I had seen it many many years ago so it was new! Funny story! i like Veronica Lake a lot,i think she was talented,i like her voice too.Susan Hayward in an early role is excellent as the abrasive fiancée of Fredric March. March was 46 when the movie was made .In my opinion he looked too old for the part and was odious with Lake on the set.She lived in Montreal in the 60's,7 years ago I was identifying a lady on the phone when I asked her her mother's name she said Veronica Lake.It is not reported she had a child in the 50's or 60's but it is possible.I believed the lady -she was surprised when I told her I was very familiar but I digress,it is an excellent film by René Clair with very good special effects for the period. 8/10

She was a beautiful woman but she had many mental problems,I'am trying to see all of her movies

Yes they were but earlier than 2012. part of the Columbia deal I would say circa 2006-2009

STORM IN A TEACUP 1937 by Victor Saville.Good comedy set in Scotland with Rex Harrison Vivien Leigh & a good supporting cast including Arthur Wontner-who made 4 or 5 movies as Sherlock Holmes-a good one-before Rathbone-story involves a reporter, a dog & an ambitious politician, I do not know if this film was ever shown on TCM. 7/10

Wow Jennifer on my Mind on April 3rd, an early De Niro impossible to find

I kept silent about this,but it is annoying me also,many months ago i read somewhere she was taking lessons to lose her accent.. obviously it is not working...

The Essentials has been too long,we even had the Essentials JR a few years ago for the summer I think,if they want to inform the new subscribers and reach to the classic film veterans they should show documentaries presented by M Haskell,Jeanine Basinger,Scott Heyman etcthere is many,many good documentaries available. enough for a first season or 2 as a try out. Anything but the essentials please.

Lombard was always teasing him about Parnell,telling their friends to just say the word to see Gable's reaction.

The Crimson Pirate 1952 playing tonight,Burt Lancaster at 39 ! In his prime and a great star.I'am a big fan of Errol Flynn but Burt was hard to beat in this one.

I have seen when it was released first run,no success but a good movie,Virginia Madsen is in her prime & very sexy

Me too useless comments amaze me more...

STATUESQUE is the correct word for Patricia Neal,her beauty was underrated,she caught the roving eye of Gary Cooper rapidly, with Ingrid Bergman, Patricia Neal was one of his best catches

7 out of 10,did not see Young at Heart,Margie and The Wiz.

On Manpower Dietrich was starting an affair with Raft,Robinson wanted Marlene as well,she was also involved with Jean Gabin there was also a rumour about a woman as well,Dietrich was always 'very busy'.Jealousy was heavy and during filming Walsh had to stop Raft who kept beating Robinson after Raoul Walsh cut the action

Seen them all except Come Next Spring

MR KLEIN 1976 by Joseph Losey Alain Delon Michel Lonsdale, seen it on the big screen when it came out,watch it last week again,a great film set in occupied Paris1942,Delon is an art dealer buying art from Jewish citizens at low prices,but slowly the table turns on him,good scenes about the VelDiv deportation. 8/10

seen all of 701 -710,i like Naked Jungle saw it many times in my youth as well Eleanor Parker is absolutely stunning in it, a sensual and sexy woman in it her description of the use of a piano to Charlton Heston is very good,Parker looked great in Scaramouche as well

seen them all except Calamity Jane,Black Narcissus & Unforgiven are favorites.

seen them all except MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRE and A Song is Born,Broadway Danny Rose my favorite of the lot.

seen them all except for Mr. & Mrs. Bridge for now I have not seen it yet

he did about 12 tv movies-not exact- enough for a special day.there is 2 or 3 I have not seen.
