The 1931 Fredric March version of DJAMH was a Paramount Pictures production, but the 1941 version of it starring Spencer Tracy was made at MGM.
And ain't it far superior? The only thing worth watching in the 1941 is INGRID BERGMAN! When that TRACY vehicle was released in 1941, MGM bought up all the Paramount Academy Award winning FREDRIC MARCH prints... Couldn't see it for years which is legendary for Monster Kids.

Ya know, there's another thing about Asner that Wayne's "that New York actor" comment MIGHT have also been a veiled reference to, don't ya?
Uh-huh, yep. Asner's religion.
(...NOT sayin' this is a "fact" here pilgrim, but this DID cross my mind here)
I suspect that ED ASNER might've been amused by strangers "discussing" politics in his obit thread...

Yep! I remember being JUST as ticked-off at the cancellation of the Lou Grant series (which was as one of the highest quality programs one could watch on network television at that time) as I had been about ten years earlier and after CBS cancelled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and pretty much for the same damn stupid reason.
(...yep TB, I agree...TOTALLY!!!)
When that show was new I was still a teenager. I watched every episode and at that point of my life I think it was the only TV I was devoted to. Long live Lou Grant!

But NOW DAYS using this thing called the Internet, we can express these complaints as to why we were offended in a website's public forum section or in some other social media site, and so EVERYONE can then see why we were so offended about something.
That's how I joined this site.

Yes.

No great loss. It's a terrible opening post to begin with and has only gotten more stupid with each response to it.
Ergo your own?

Cultural changes are occurring swiftly enough for me to witness them in real time, something I never would have thought I'd witness.

Today I was talking about how BETTE DAVIS took a backseat to PAUL LUKAS in WATCH ON THE RHINE... she is a brave, selfless good mother and wife...
The year before, she was Stanley in IN THIS OUR LIFE (1942) a truly selfish bad liar and louse.

Yes, the three in These-Three are Oberon, Hopkins and McCrea. The play was The Children's Hour.
I don't always research to confirm, but I know the play and films well. LILLIAN HELLMAN wrote it. She also wrote WATCH ON THE RHINE another film adaptation of her play that I like a lot (BETTE takes backseat to PAUL LUKAS - awesome).

I don't understand your bold print of the names with capital letters and your question mark. Are you horrified by this specific casting?
Hardly. I always capitalize and embolden the names of the notable. That being said, my question was directed at our friend who brought that particular film up. I did not look it up and was not certain that I had the cast correct, hence the question mark. Is that enough of an explanation?

These Three
I did not think of this one either, a screenplay I do not care for. With JOEL McCREA and MIRIAM HOPKINS?

The Lodger is a very good film. Laird Cregar is the main reason to watch but George Sanders and Merle Oberon are in good form.
I often forget those many supporting parts GEORGE SANDERS played... I love him, another reason I like that film.

The Lodger
I am not a big fan, hence I forgot this one... with LAIRD CREGAR... that's an interesting film I like too. MERLE OBERON was certainly attractive and charming... I like her...for me, sometimes hammy.

MERLE OBERON
I searched for a topic thread about MERLE OBERON, found none, and saw bits of her films yesterday and thought she warrants a thread.
Unfortunately, there is only one film of hers that I particularly like, it was on late last night and I only watched a few minutes. BERLIN EXPRESS (1948) ...I had forgotten all about (maybe because I think of it as a ROBERT RYAN (hero) or PAUL LUKAS (hero) film). I had not realized the film was directed by JACQUES TOURNEUR...
WUTHERING HEIGHTS was of course the film on at 8pm est. My older sister's favorite film, needless to say I've seen that one enough (though it has some great moments, awesome cast).
Her personal story is complicated and remarkable.

Don't gimme material to work with...! I like that film, but I don't think it's very good. Personally, SPENCER TRACY's Hyde exemplifies ham to me. LANA TURNER is all melodrama.
INGRID BERGMAN is... stunning!
