JackFavell Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 God, Ruth Hussey is good! She just gave a speech about how she'd been knocked around, and she swore she would never let a man get control of her....but if she ever saw her man again, she'd be sweet.... she almost made me cry... I have to go look up other films by her. I'm sure that if Ryan took one look at you, he''d drop Ginger like a hot potato.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I forgot about that scene. She can do that emotional "switch" so well. She's in one of the Thin Man movies in a rather unusual role. It may be one of her first screen appearances. She's also quite good in Joan Crawford's movie, Susan and God, but my favorite is The Philadelphia Story. And thank you for the compliment---I only wish that were true!

HollywoodGolightly Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The Thin Man movie Ruth was in was Another Thin Man. Well, I enjoyed Tender Comrade, hope everyone else did, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Oh, you know he would be smitten with you.... I have missed Susan and God about a hundred times.... I really want to see it. And I'm trying to remember her in the Thin Man series... I thought I had seen them all.. but maybe I missed one. Liz Imbrie is just about my favorite character in *The Philadelphia Story*. She is a knockout, but she has that way with a witty line. And I love her backstory: "Joe Smith, Hardware." I have always said that I would like to look and act like Ingrid Bergman if I had the choice, but I think Ruth Hussey is second on the list. She gives us brunettes a good name.

CineMaven Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I definitely prefer the weary, post-1950 Frank Sinatra movie roles to his earlier, skinny "innocents". - MissGoddess. Cute. Yes, I would agree with all your choices. Very few of those glorious pre-code gals survived the fifties/sixties very well. As usual, men do better. I see you are getting buried within minutes... again, Miss G. Classy. I know what is up, you know what is up, those with a brain know what is up. It's a damn shame those who are stealing money don't know a damn thing. Imcompetence. - FrankGrimes. Nothing can bury us, we?ll always find each other. But you keep watching over us FrankieG. That?s why we love you. Oh wait...!!! There. Consider that sealed with a genuine kiss. That's because we, the victims, are the "petty" ones. Making a fuss over nothing. Being stalked is not against the code of conduct, after all. - MissGoddess. No no no MissG. You?ve got it all wrong. We?re not the petty ones. We?re the powerful ones. We can make people post when they don?t really have anything to say about anything. (We kind of have powers like Superman). Watch. I can post a comment on another thread and be followed by some inane comment. Now I do have the feature on so I can?t see the comments...but I can make ?em appear. I?ll PM you and tell you where to watch next. See if I?m right. Oh, back on topic here...did Robert Ryan seem almost-boyish in this role? Sweet? Soft? No indication of the hardness and toughie he was to become? If you were a casting director and saw him in ?TENDER COMRADE? would you peg him for the role of a racist, murdering, anti-Semetic bully in ?CROSSFIRE??? We've truly done NOTHING whatever to deserve how we're being treated on this board (except to contribute some of the best and most deeply interesting classic film discussion on it.) - MissGoddess. Aaah pathological jealousy. Tsk! Tsk! A wonderful thing. Back to Robert Ryan... My two cents is that Ryan and Ruth Hussey should have made some time on the side. I love her. - JackFavell I?m a fan of hers as well. Do you remember her in ?THE UNINVITED? as Ray Milland?s sister? Or that very small part in ?THE WOMEN? when she gets Norma Shearer to sign over some papers for Stephen. Ruth Hussey makes me think of Rosalind Russell. Too bad she was never really and truly showcased. You know what I think...I think there was such an over-abundant amount of talented performers back then that they couldn?t showcase everyone. I like Joan Crawford best in the 30's, then the forties, but by the fifties she bothers me. I am not crazy about Olivia De Havilland in the fifties either, but it's not as strong a feeling. - JackFavell. Again I agree (though Crawford in the 50?s is a hoot and you must admit, the girl was just trying to earn a livin?). No, the 50?s were a tough time for all our gals from the 30?s. Funny, Crawford adapted and carved out a career in the 50?s and 60?s like those stone masons who carved Mount Rushmore. Ha! What I am finding interesting about this movie is the socialist slant to the whole thing. -JackFavell. Well you?ve hit the nail on the head here Jackaaaaay. The socialist angle in ?Tender Comrade? is what got a couple of people in hot water (though I don't see anything wrong with share and share alike when you all live together). I loved Ruth Hussey?s speech and Ginger?s (?...saved by the bell?) as well. She doesn?t bother me, but I do see there seems to be a consensus building up that Ginger Rogers was annoying. By the by...what three Ruth Hussey movies HAVE you seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a casting director and saw him in ?TENDER COMRADE? would you peg him for the role of a racist, murdering, anti-Semetic bully in ?CROSSFIRE???* This is one of the things I admire most about Robert - his ability to be incredibly sweet and "almost boyish", as you put it, and his tough, macho side. He really had a much greater range than most people would probably give him credit for, if they were more familiar with his entire filmography.

JackFavell Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I like the share and share alike theme of the movie. Especially when the characters are all women - it's like a little time capsule - women getting jobs for the first time, banding together under socialist ideals..helping each other out....it's lovely. Oh wait..... no.... I mean, how AWFUL, those girls pooling their resources like that! This kind of behavior is the reason our country went downhill so fast after the war....... we really blew it. Just think what a great place this might have been(for the rich) if FDR hadn't put all those socialist programs into effect.....Socialism is EVIL.... The fact that the HUAC chose to ignore Ginger Rodgers rah rah speech in the film tells me it was indeed a witch hunt. I always like to see Patricia Collinge in movies... she has such an odd presence and that giggly voice... really like her. Ruth Hussey - well I've seen *The Philadelphia Story* (I always find it amazing that this was Shirley Booth's role on Broadway), *The Uninvited* (I don't remember much of it), and this one, now. Oh, and *The Women*, but does that count? But she still made a big impression on me. One movie I have seen, but don't remember her in is *Northwest Passage*, with Spencer Tracy. I imagine she was good match for him. The studio hired her to put the strong arm on Myrna Loy and Norma Shearer.... when they started getting too big for their britches, the studio would trot out Ruth Hussey as the next big thing. She really wasn't very ambitious, and was a pretty easygoing gal from what I have read. I forgot to mention one of the things I really love about her is her warm low voice. She is my Margaret Lindsay, if you know what I mean. I am trying to find a place where I can post some pictures of her... there was a blonde and a redhead thread waaaaay back, but I don't remember a brunette one. Oh, it doesn't matter anyway because we can't revive old threads. Maybe I should start an underrated brunettes thread? Oh, Robert Ryan? I thought he was exactly those things you mentioned... soft, childlike... a leading man, kind of hokey....he hit all the right notes, playing the childhood sweetheart. It just wasn't his picture. The world wasn't ready for him yet.... the roles just didn't exist at this time, or they were just starting... let's see. This was 1943? *The Maltese Falcon* had just been released, *Laura* hadn't come out yet (can you imagine a world without *Laura* ?) They must not have known what to do with Ryan. As I recall at this point, he played soldiers on leave almost exclusively. This was the year that noir was just starting to be distinct from crime drama, or war drama or any other genre. *Journey into Fear*, *Shadow of a Doubt*, Val Lewton's films were paving the way for the uncertainty of the post war period. And Ryan is the king of uncertainty. Maybe it was the existence of HUAC itself that eventually caused noir to take off.....

I just finished watching an early Ryan appearance in RKO's propaganda film directed by Edward Dmytryk: BEHIND THE RISING SUN. Phew!! Talk about rough. I guess because it was a propaganda movie they could get away with the extreme violence but it was more than I could take and I had to look away from a lot of scenes (torure, infanticide, rape, genocide, suicide every 'cide' you can imagine not to mention a truly long and gruelling "boxing" duel between Robby Baby and the Empire's reigning heavyweight champeen, Mike Mazurski. Poor Robby! He earned his pay on that film but good). Ryan's role was, alas, too brief but what a cutie pie. UNTIL he got up to shoot the cat.

Seems like history is about to repeat itself. We are in the midst of turmoil right now.
