She was lovely. I still don;t know what she's wearing. It reminds me of when I was a little kid and used to roll up in the drapes.

Though honestly, it would probably be a tie between hairy grapes (that is what those things in fruit cocktail are right? If not I do not want to know) floating in green gelatin and the religious indoctrination when it comes to what may drive me to therapy...

Clore, I am having the same problem. I searcehed "Fred Macmurray" and got this: "No search results for "fred macmurray". You should try a less restrictive search. Did you mean: [fred Acura|http://forums.tcm.com/search.jspa?q=fred%20Acura&o fred Acura?? What does that even mean???

Then the whole thing is sprinkled liberally with brown sugar and baked. That, along with "City Chicken" (breaded mystery meat on a stick) tuna casserole and Jello with canned fruit in were staples of my childhood.

Today's the birthday of the Princess Mermaid, Esther Williams. What she did was so wierd, yet so lovely: Ive also been reading David O Selznick's memos about GWTW. Here's a tribute to Scarlett and though it's a modern song, I think it really nails the character:

Money can't buy happiness, but it CAN buy a lot of hats...

I have the same photo in a book of Hollywood glamour shots called Image Makers:60 Years of Hollywood Glamour p. 90. It's a 1926 general publicity shot for Pathe. She would have been about 18.{font} Edited by: traceyk65 on Aug 8, 2013 1:55 PM

Another of Carole.

Missed Robert Mitchum's Birthday yesterday, so here's to him... And as I watched LETTER FROM AN INKNOWN WOMAN for the 1st time today, here's a pretty good tribute (If you don;t want to know the ending, best skip this one ):

I have always loved anything with Loy and Powell. They do have great chemistry. And they both seem to be able to play off other people very well, too. Loy was great with Gable, Grant, even Fredric March and I can watch William Powell with anyone. Errol Flynn and Olivia deHavilland had great chemistry. Cary Grant and Hepburn are great together too. As much as I like Katharine Hepburn, there are only a few of her co-stars that she connects with believably and he is definitely one of them. (Grant is another one of those stars who can connect with just about any co-star, I think.)

crazyblonde--I think there are about 170 movies in that video, if that helps. LOL Lucille Ball's 102nd birthday is today. So here's a little Lucy: Funny and Candid Lucy (it starts a bit melodramtically, but hang in there): It's easy to forget just how pretty she really was when you remember her on "Lucy". So here's a tribute from when she was "Queen of the Bs":

It's Lucille Ball's birthday, here's a little Lucy glamour for your day:

That was Garbo, in her more or less original state, pre-MGM makeover. You can see the potential there, but she ain't GARBO. Not yet. And thank you for explanation of "Ukelele Ike." I get what you were going for now.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALITOSIS Harry Potter, a teenage wizard goes on a year-long camping trip with his two best friends to discover the secret breath mints of Lord Voldemort, who, angry that his lack of a functioning nose prevents him from stopping to smell the roses, has been threatening to destroy the world with the flaming halitosis of himself and his Garlic Eaters.

Someone asked, a few posts down, what we think makes a great musical. Well, vickix nailed a lot of it for me: great dancing and singing and great performances outside the musical numbers. I also think a great musical needs, well, great music. Songs with catchy tunes that sort of stick in your head and clever or lovely lyrics that stay with you, long after the credits roll. I also think there should be a good story, with good dialogue. There are many that meet these requirements, but these are my faves. SINGIN IN THE RAIN 42ND STREET (maybe falls down a bit in the quality of the dancing, but makes up for it in staging) GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES THE MUSIC MAN THE KING AND I FIDDLER ON THE ROOF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Disney)

> {quote:title=jamesjazzguitar wrote:}{quote}With regards to Joe Gillis; He really is a major cad and not a decent guy but Holden has so much charm we overlook the multiple un-decent things Gillis does. > > Joe is a noir man like Jeff in Out of the Past in that their actions shouldn't have results in their death, but Jeff only did one dishonest thing; lie to Whit that he didn't find the girl and Jeff did what he did for love. > > Joe did many dishonest things and all because of greed and selfishness. > > Wilder was able to utilize Holden similar to how Hitchcock utilized Grant. James, I agree. Gillis was, more or less, an opportunist and a cad, but oh so charming, so we forgive him for it (mostly). He needed money and place to hang his hat and Norma was willing to give it to him. If in return, she expected a little more than just help writing her script, well, it probably wasn't exactly torture. His only redeeming quality ws that he did eventually get disgusted with himself and what he was doing (and what it was doing to Norma) and called it quits. He reminds me a little of the characters Robt Montgomery often played in the 30's--good-looking, charming guys who are always looking for an angle, always ready to take advantage of an opening, always a little on the prowl...

This one isn't mine--I came across it online and thought it was funny...Bette the Hipster

VP, I know it sucks when you have to explain your joke but Im at a loss too, I think... ?:|

Glad you liked them crazyblonde! It's Louis Armstrong's birthday, so here's a clip from HIGH SOCIETY: Here's a tribute to classic movies in general. How many can you name? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4l4mF605ig&feature=related

I just wanted to say that this thread is totally sick and a bit juvenile...and that's what I like about it.

Quite and active thread going on about Bogart, Cagney and Roninson on another forum,,, A somewhat unusual tribute to Bogey: Cagney (LOVE the music on this one) Aaannd Edward G http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcz4wGOFfE

Didn't Lizbeth Scott tour with Tallulah as understudy for Skin of Our Teeth? And I remember reading somewhere (probably in her Dietrich bio? can't remember) that Maria Riva toured (briefly) with Tallulah in something and that Tallulah kept trying to seduce her because she was Dietrich's daughter.

> {quote:title=TomJH wrote:}{quote}Thanks, tracey. You're the first poster to do a followup on that observation that, I believe, there have only been three leading lady actresses that have worked with Robinson, Cagney and Bogart: Joan Blondell, Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck. I'm slightly amazed that there were so few, especially since the three actors all worked at the same studio for so much of their careers. > > If anyone can come up with a fourth name, it would be great to hear from you. > > > > > *Hmm, I think I misunderstood your post earlier (it was 1:30 am, so that will have to be my excuse) I thought you were saying that no actress had been co-starred with all three, as equals so to speak and that your examples included cases where the actress in question was just in the same movie (like Bogart and Davis in DARK VICTORY). And I thought, No, wait-Davis and Bogie costarred in MARKED WOMAN and completely missed the point. Oh well, that's what I get for skimming...* > Ugh, ugh ugh. STILL getting my responses swallowed up by quotes! Thought I had that licked...
