ArmandDuval Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Pesonally, I am MAD for Lana! I MUCH prefer her to Marilyn, although I love Marilyn, too. Lana was CLASS and very much the LADY. Marilyn was neither class nor a lady. She was almost a charicature, which was marvelous and glamorous. But, LUCIOUS LANA just drives me MAD. I don't know WHAT Tyrone was thinking dumping her. And, although I think Annabella was lovely, she was NO Lana! Can't imagine. Link to post Share on other sites

Catwoman915 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I like Lana but it did take me a while to warm up to her. She did become a better actress with time. The Postman Rings Twice has to be my favorite though, possibly because of John Garfield. Link to post Share on other sites

marlene0726 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hello- I am new to the boards. I love Lana and was wondering if anyone has any info on Lana box set or any other DVD releases.

route66 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi marlene, welcome to the boards. You may already have checked the TCM schedule for tomorrow, but if you didn't, I'll just mention that there are two Lana Turner movies airing on Tuesday: "The Three Musketeers" airs at 3:30am and "Johnny Eager" is on at 4pm (all times Eastern). Otherwise, the best way to find LT movies is to check your favorite online retailer. Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wonderful stills from "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Great movie. Lana sizzled! White hot in her outfits. She and Garfield were great. 1946 audiences... what did they make of this. Link to post Share on other sites
route66 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Audiences in 1946 probably found it at least mildly shocking. Link to post Share on other sites

White hot in her outfits. She and Garfield were great. 1946 audiences... what did they make of this. They were indeed. I just love the white with that platinum hair, and they look good opposite each other, he being dark and rugged. What a contrast. Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 To make photos smaller, use this resizing code: <img src= height =400 width =275> Put the photo URL address just after the first equal sign = Leave no space after = and leave one space before the word "height". Like this: <img src=http://i30.tinypic.com/14vh5bb.jpg height =400 width =275> Change the numbers to make your photo more or less high and more or less wide. Go here to test your photos. It might take two or three tries to get your size numbers right: http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=125178&tstart=0 Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Fred! Thank you for the tips. Right now, I just like to post the large ones in my own threads. Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Small or large...I love Lana. She and Garfield did look good together. Good solid film too. I love their first meeting. The lipstick rolls on the floor and Garfield picks it up...she expectantly puts her hand out...and he holds onto it, making her walk to him. Boy, does she walk. ...And the game's afoot.

calypsogal Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 And small or large photo, Lana will always be _larger than life_. B-) Link to post Share on other sites
