TopBilled Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Rory Calhoun probably does not belong in this thread, since he did become a movie star (and later a TV star)...but I think he could have been "bigger" and am surprised his career didn't reach the heights of other matinee idols in the 40s and 50s. A few nights ago I watched WAY OF A GAUCHO on Starz. It's in Technicolor, sumptuously filmed on location in Argentina. He is at his peak, physically, in this film. He seems almost ethereal, maybe because working with the beautiful Gene Tierney brought something out in him. Usually in his westerns at Fox and Universal, he's a little more rugged, less glamorous looking. His close-ups in WAY OF A GAUCHO are extraordinary. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 TopBilled, I'm glad to learn of your opinion of this movie. Unfortunately, I missed it a few weeks ago when it was shown. But I'm sure it will be on again sometime soon. This is one movie I've never seen, In fact, I had practically forgotten all about it. And I'm curious about the chemistry between the two stars, since I'm so fond of both. When I do see it, you can be sure that I'll be looking for those close-ups. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's a beautiful film...the scenery is beautiful, the two lead stars are beautiful, the use of Technicolor is outstanding. If you subscribe to Starz streaming, you can watch it anytime you like. It was recently added to the lineup. Link to post Share on other sites

jinsinna13 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I've been watching Will & Grace reruns, and I love Eric McCormack, especially when he dances. It's a pity he never showed off his killer moves in movies. Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It's true that he has the potential of being a great dancer. Such a shame that it was not put to use on the show. Plus, he also has a great singing voice. A few years ago, he appeared at the Hollywood Bowl in a concert version of "The Music Man". How I would love to have seen that. In addition to all of that, he's mighty easy on the eyes! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

(I must warn you, though, once you start you start reading it, you can't stop.) Matt LeBlanc could turn Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer gay with his good looks, if you know what I mean.? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a big fan of slash fiction and have written some of it myself- and yes I do agree with you the charms of Mr LeBlanc and his effect on "straight"men 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Of all the screen Tarzans, Mike Henry had the shortest loin cloth. How he managed not to "pop out" is beyond me! He made his three films back-to-back and was scheduled for the TV series.
