Hibi Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 uh, YAH. Sounds logical to me...(of course, the only part of that equation that applies to me these days is the feuds.) I dont even have feuds anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I aware that she dressed to make him think she was Gloria. But for Gloria to be in the perfect position to be run over, THAT was a coincidence. No coincidence ... the director made her do it. Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What makes for a happy life? Sex and feuds??? Yes, I believe that was what Joan was referring to ... not Scott Brady and Gloria Grahame. Link to post Share on other sites
RoyCronin Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Palance was likely bedding both Joan and Gloria during the shoot. Method acting. One finds out, throws a fit, mayhem ensues. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Not if he was doing it simultaneously. Remember, this is a guy who could do one-armed pushups. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dargo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I dont even have feuds anymore. Well, just spend a little LESS time here in the General Discussion forum and little MORE time over in the Off-Topic forum, and maybe you can fix that, Hibi?!!! (...one has a much better chance of that happenin' over there lately, ya know) LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 can you imagine what the kid would look like if- by some miracle- Jack and Joan had procreated? that's a combination of some STRONG features. i'm thinkin this: 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Well, ya know, even IF ya go over there, you might not actually end up "knowing" any of that stuff anyway.

LornaHansonForbes Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 LOL. Jack wasnt exactly what I'd call handsome....... I was having dinner with my mother the night SUDDEN FEAR aired and I was telling her how excited I was about seeing it, and she said "boy, Jack Palance: talk about someone who made money from being ugly!" to which I countered "well, it sure beats all the people who were pretty for free." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dargo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 LMREO!!!! Guess that's why he never became a leading man type! I wouldn't go THAT far here, Hibi. Jack plays the leading man in that Goddard flick that has Fritz Lang playing himself, and titled CONTEMPT, doesn't he?! And as I recall, he ends up getting none other than Briditte Bardot at the end, doesn't he?! And then in I DIED A THOUSAND TIMES, he's the lead in that remake of HIGH SIERRA. And how about that movie THE BIG KNIFE, and where he plays the leading man, a big Hollywood star in a personal crisis? (...and where he duels with Rod Steiger to see who can chew up the most scenery in it) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RoyCronin Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I appreciate and like Gloria Grahame a lot in many of her roles, but has anyone ever read or does anyone have insight, scholarly or otherwise, as to how she won the spot in OKLAHOMA? There must be a great studio backstory there. Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 My introduction to Jack Palance was Attack! (1956), where he plays a Lieutenant, who, fed up with a cowardly Captain (Eddie Albert), tells him where to get off. It's my favorite Palance performance. Link to post Share on other sites

There must be a great studio backstory there. Sorry Roy, but other than the fact that Gloria can't sing very well or at least was called upon to sing in that off-key manner, she's the perfect fit for the Ado Annie role, because she'd pretty much played the girl who "cain't say no" in so many pictures before this one, right?! (...and so, I doubt there might have been any backstage "casting couch" sort of thing going on here, and that it was probably more just a case of typecasting) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yes, Palance has been a leading man but he was never really a leading man 'type'. Yeah, well, he was certainly no Robert Taylor/Tyrone Power pretty boy type, to be use.

Who was the ugliest leading man of all? EGR has to be a contender. Link to post Share on other sites
