Yes, I saw that about the "living actors", too, and that's what I wondered. Maybe they are thinking of the dummies in that high track scene at the railway station I hear is in going to be in Gone With the Wind.
Plus I think we can chalk up this "9200" to a little bit of exaggeration on the part of the publicity department.

Special week. If you look carefully, you will notice The Wizard of Oz is opening. I've been keeping my ear to the ground and reports are it is pretty good. Wonder if anybody will miss Shirley Temple not being in the role of Dorothy?

It's my favorite film, but I have to disagree with you that the script is a masterpiece. Casablanca is a case of all the right elements coming together. But much as I love the film, and yes some of the dialogue is great, but there are also clunkers.
Rick: Sam, if it's December 1941 in Casablance, what time is it in New York?
Sam: Uh, my watch stopped.
The following is a classic line, much repeated, but only Bogart could have gotten away with it:
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

I've stayed away from this, because I didn't think that colorized images were allowed here. That doesn't seem to be the case. So here we go with some of my more recent work."
Just an FYI, since I guess you didn't check out the first post of this thread two months ago where I wrote:
"Last week, I saw someone selling a package of about 200 movie star portraits from movie magazines of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I immediately thought these would be great for the board. The package arrived a few days ago!"
I then scanned and posted 5 different photos every single day for the last two months. Sorry you just came in now and didn't like the pictures.
I had just brought the thread to a close yesterday mere hours before you posted.

Hi, gagman,
The color was as it was on the magazine pages. I didn't add any color to the photos. True, some of the magazine editors may have added some in, but I think there were a lot of genuine color photos in there.

You're right, it is.

Lots of news today!

Final day of pictures from the collection I purchased. Phew, I've listed about 200 portraits, bringing this to a close.
Linda Darnell (note: the last picture refers to "The Californian." That was the working title of "The Mark of Zorro.")
Don de Fore
The final four pictures, I am not positive who they are. Here's your chance to put provide your expertise.
And there you have it. Hope everyone enjoyed seeing them.

"It would be a fascinating hour; bringing a gaggle of these opinionated posters together for a freewheeling hour of moans, complaints, theories, suggestions, etc., "
Thanks, but no thanks. I have just spent several months of watching Democrats, Republicans and Tea Party members going at it. I don't need to see arguing on my favorite channel, too.
