Lovely picture! She was great in Ah Wilderness too!
I like Bonita both as a kid and an adult, and both in a comedy and a drama.

If one was to make a judgment call based solely upon the comments that have appeared on this thread, one would think that there aren't many W. C. Fields fans on this message board.
They probably don't know much about his films. I saw all of them at a Fields Film Festival in Berkeley around 1969 and they were all very funny. Some were classics that have not been shown on TV much. Old AMC used to show several, but that was 20 years ago.

I think it would be appropriate for TCM to air the great interview program, hosted by Mr. Osborne, in which he interviewed Mr. Moore and three other grown-up child stars. It was one of the best of his group interviews.
Mr. Moore told a funny story about some exchanges he had with. C.B. Demille, when he was only 5 years old and being filmed for the sound version of SQUAW MAN.

I'd like to wear my pajamas to work.

Great topic for a thread, Fred! Love it.
My personal favorite-- those cool Amish duds Harrison Ford gets to wear in WITNESS. I took the train this summer from Chicago to Colorado, and there were many Amish families traveling from Chicago to western Iowa for some event. They had the best clothes! Though I do not think I could wear any of those styles into work...but maybe.
I love that movie, WITNESS....

Looks somewhat like Pat O'Brien

scsu,
The reason I got his name was when I tried to get the birth years for all three of the last three Guess Who's. I looked his name up on Wiki, and to my surprize, there was a photo of him in the same costume that he is wearing in your photo. So then I looked up his name on the old newspaper search engine, and I found your photo as the second one that came on the screen. That's how I got his name as the answer to the puzzle. How odd, what are the chances that Wiki would have the same guy in the same costume as in your photo? A million to one??

Your move, Fred, unless you want me to post another.
Nice game.
Go ahead and post another.

Hey, where did everybody go??

she really was a damn good little actress-
I like her too. I have a complete set of her Nancy Drew films.
I think this is from AH, WILDERNESS.

NOW, VOYAGER is certainly a fine film, and Bette did some excellent acting in it. In fact, all the cast was very good and the director was good too. He helps the actors build their characters and tells them what he wants, and the actors do it.
Oh, and the Max Steiner music was very good too.

Why do they do this? I've got a 16 x 9 TV and the coming attractions look like a postage stamp on my TV screen.
In theaters, they never showed coming attractions in tiny little boxes on an empty big screen.

Well, he didn't have the bread to be able to afford a chauffered limo.
Yeah. She was high-class and took a bus, while he hopped a freight train.
I wonder how long that relationship will last?

to show picnic
I like PICNIC the movie, but the ending is odd.... the guy asking someone as beautiful and intelligent as Kim Novak to hop a freight train like a hobo and run away with him.

Don't forget "To Catch a Thief" (1955)--the picnic scene--Grace Kelly asks Cary Grant "Would you like a leg or breast" (she's holding a picnic basket and talking about fried chicken--to pacify the Hays Office).
The same joke is in THE HORSE SOLDIERS:

Arthur Hohl (in "The Power of Darkness")
Arthur Hohl and Gladys Cooper were both in LOVE LETTERS (1945)

OK. This really helps because I was always a little confused about Lisa Vale (though I love the character and Ilka Chase's portrayal of her.) Is she a widow? I assume so since we never see a husband, just daughter Bonita Granville doing an updated version of her "Brat of the Month" performance.
I remember that Lisa is called a "Daughter in-law" Vale in the opening scene where all the family members get together in one room in preparation of inviting Charlotte downstairs to introduce her to the doctor and the idea of going to his "spa" for a "vacation".
I think the two or maybe three Vale brothers are mentioned by first name only, but I don't remember their first names and they are not listed as being Vales in the official IMDB credits.

In the book, Charlotte had 3 brothers, named Rupert, Lloyd, and Hilary.

I think Jerry's wife is in a sanitarium permanently,
I've always been under the impression that his wife lived at home and was just an awful person to try to live with, like the wife in ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO.
-
Who were the two Vale sons in this film (Charlotte's two brothers)? They are not listed as being Vale in the list of characters.
A female in-law and her daughter were identified, but not the sons.
The sons are much to blame about the mistreatment of Charlotte too, since they inherited their share of their father's money, but Charlette was cut completely out of his will.

I had watched CITIZEN KANE at least ten times before I noticed the origin of the snow globe, which was sitting on Susan Alexander's dresser the first night he met her.
Potus proposes U.S. take in 10,000 syrian refugees

How many is Canada taking in??
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadas-immigration-reputation-charting-the-conservative-governments-commitment-to-taking-in-refugees
Between January 2014 and Aug. 24, 2015, Canada has resettled 2,374 Syrian refugees. About 26 per cent were government-assisted refugees and roughly 73 per cent sponsored privately.
“It’s basically a matter of who’s footing the bill,” says Janet Dench, Executive Director of the Canadian Council for Refugees. She takes issue with the Canadian government taking credit for resettling refugees when, by and large, it’s private citizens who are sponsoring and supporting Syrians.
