CineMaven Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Great shots of the Lady Stanwyck. Years ago there was a tribute to Stanwyck at Lincoln Center. I got a ticket and was sitting in the next to the last row of this beautiful theatre. Many celebrities came and spoke about her, of course, including William Holden. Stanwyck was sitting up in one of those side balconies and didn't come down to the end until the end to thank folks. A couple of people left their seats and went to the stage to take pix. Me too. I ran all the way down to the stage with my little camera, and prayed to the Gods of Kodak that if He let my pix come out, I'd never ask for another ting. I shot slides...and the pix came out fine. Love Stanwyck Link to post Share on other sites

CineMaven Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 God I wish Stanwyck & Davis had acted together again when they were both giants. THAT would've been a battle for the ages. ("So Big" doesn't count). Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi, ForeverGarland -- I've been meaning to thank you for your latest Missy photos. I loved the Yum-Yum pic and the photo with Barbara decked out in brown and red gloves is quite impressive. Yet again, you have provided such great variety in your photo selections. Thanks.

ForeverGarland Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 FrankG, Glad you liked them..here are a few more of the great Missy! FG Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hi FG, Have you seen tha movie "The Other Love" 1947 where your still was taken from?I have never seen this movie, and the plotline sounds interesting. Maybe another fan has seen the film. Great photos of Missy Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverGarland Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Cashette, I am ashamed to admit that i have only seen about 3 of Missy's films, but loved her as a kid in re runs of The Big Valley..never knew until a few years ago she was such a huge star in movies...now i have to start looking some up, but which ones?? she has a ton! Amazing woman! FG Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 So what are the three Stanwyck films you have seen, FG? Love the Missy-Niven photo. She looks terrific in that shot. Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverGarland Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 FrankG, Yes the photo of Barbara & Niven is my favorite, would like to see that movie for sure whatever it is. The films i have seen of Missy are as follows.. Christmas In Connecticut..loved it! Strange Love Of Martha Ivers ..hated it script wise Stella Dallas..major tear jerker,great performance Roustabout..liked as a kid..campy fun. And that's it ..ashamed to say..so what do you sugest?? I like comedy/drama/mystery stuff for the most part. FG Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've only seen 11 of Missy's films and here are my rankings: 1. Double Indemnity 2. Clash by Night 3. Forty Guns 4. The Lady Eve 5. Baby Face 6. Meet John Doe 7. Sorry, Wrong Number 8. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers 9. Ball of Fire 10. The Two Mrs. Carrolls 11. Jeopardy *The Lady Eve* and *Ball of Fire* are the two Stanwyck films that may suit your tastes. They are both comedies and I enjoy Barbara in both of them. *Meet John Doe* features a mix of comedy and cynicism. It can be very dark at times, though. Barbara's performance is terrific. *Double Indemnity* is a must-see film for sure. I'm not sure if you will like it, but seeing Barbara sizzle is a joy. I love *Clash by Night*. Barbara plays a "been around" woman who doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. *Baby Face* is a powerful film. I was shocked by it. Barbara uses sex to climb the business ladder. She's quite ruthless. I think any Barbara fan needs to see this film at least once. Barbara plays an invalid in *Sorry, Wrong Number*. You would probably find this film to be interesting, but I don't believe it showcases Barbara like some of the other films I've seen of hers. *Forty Guns* is a western that's probably not your speed. I'm sure others can recommend many more Barbara films that I haven't seen. Miss Goddess has definitely seen more of Missy's films than I. I know she loves *The Bitter Tea of General Yen*.

ForeverGarland Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 FrankG, Thanks for the titles! I am going to search those out on TCM & Amazon, as i was informed yesterday by my Mom that she liked Barbara alot..as she put it.. "Barbara Stanwyck? Ohh! she was so good! she made alot of good pictures!" FG Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'm sorry to read you did not enjoy "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers." I thought it was among her best. But it's great to see that you're willing to discover more about Stanwyck by checking out her films. I think she was fearless in her choices of films as her career progressed. I'm always torn between Bette Davis and Stanwyck. (Ask your Mom who SHE preferred). Henry Fonda worked with both. "Jezebel" "The Lady Eve." I would have LOVED to have a conversation with him about his experience with both divas. I'd love to be a fly on the locker room door when he talked about those gals. Stanwyck is just great. I envy your discovery of her. Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'm never torn between them. Barbara Stanwyck, for me, is the best of the classic actresses. She never made an unwatchable film. Not ever! Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Just to delve a little deeper John, why DO you prefer Babs to Bette? Does one have something the other one lacks? Scripts...leading men? Tawk 2 me. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If anything, Bette had the better scripts, I think. I just find Stanwyck so natural in all her roles. Bette, whom I like, a bit more affected. There are Bette Davis films that I have no interest in ever seeing again. I can't say the same for Stanwyck. I just prefer her screen persona.

CineMaven Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Thanxx for indulging me. There are a couple of Stanwyck films coming our way in October. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverGarland Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 With Van Heflin..love this pic! FG Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The waves in his hair make me dizzy...but he IS an Academy Award winner. I never cared for him much. But "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" is among my to ten all-time favorite motion pictures." (Any chance to look at Lizabeth Scott too). Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It took me a long time to appreciate Van Heflin. It wasn't until I saw him in the film, Johnny Eager, that I became a fan. Everyone else in it is the sheer definition of "bad acting in Hollywood", and he shines like a precious gem. From then on, I was a fan. Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Okay..."Johnny Eager" here I come. I saw a bit of it last time it aired on TCM. Seems that Heflin acted as a sort of Greek chorus to Robert Taylor's pretty boy gangster. I'll have to sit all the way through it to give Van an honest chance. Link to post Share on other sites
