cashette Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Miss Goddess we agree that Joan didn`t give her best performance. She got on my nerves throughout the movie. It was her first film since the birth of her daughter Debbie with hubby William Dozier head of production at RKO. Joan Leslie`s performance was fine. I have Joan `s autobiography "No Bed Of Roses". She wrote that the only thing that she enjoyed about "Born To Be Bad" was the wardrobe that she got to wear. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I have been wanting to read Joan's autobiography for the longest time. She was evidently a woman of wide-ranging pursuits. Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 My Favorite Blonde -- Thank you so much, Scott AppleButterysweetGreer -- its official frankie! we dont just think....we know that you post thos pics on purpose to make us fall to the floor. heehee! i love him in On Dangerous Ground, but it is such an emotional movie and boy do i pull that hanky out and soak it in tears when i see this movie!!!! heehee! I'm a very big fan of Robert Ryan. I have many of his films. I'll continue to post some "grabs" of Double R. Robert Ryan is the unlikeable "Montgomery" in Crossfire Oops. Now how did that blonde girl sneak in there? Is it possible for Gloria Grahame to sneak, by the way? Slink... yes. Sneak... I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 yup, im perfectly content now, very loverly pic of gloria graham frankie. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yes, Scott, if I didn't know the context of those pictures from Crossfire, I wouldn't find anything unlikable there at all. In fact, there is alot to like, I mean alot! Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Robert Ryan in The Racket Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Great pix! Ryan definitely makes *The Racket* leap to life whenever he appears. For some reason, I find Mitchum oddly passive in this movie, which keeps it from being an all-out favorite. I had high hopes for it but it's a bit on the disappointing side.

FrankGrimes Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hiya, Miss Goddess -- Ryan definitely makes The Racket leap to life whenever he appears. For some reason, I find Mitchum oddly passive in this movie, which keeps it from being an all-out favorite. I had high hopes for it but it's a bit on the disappointing side. That's the sentiment I've heard the most with The Racket. It isn't a tour de force noir. My interests in the film are the two Bobs and Liz Scott. You're correct about Mitchum, he's on the subdued side. I prefer his angry, steamier side far more. He's too clean-cut in this film. It's the same in Crossfire. And don't tell anyone, but I actually think Mitchum looks pretty darn handsome in The Racket. I better go take a look at your Ava thread now. An older, gentler Robert Ryan plays a horse lover in The Professionals, the A-Team of westerns. Do you think I could resist Claudia Cardinale for goodness sake? Impossible. I love Ryan and Lancaster staring at her. Her reply to their stares? "Yes?" Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ha! The expressions on their faces are very revealing. Claudia looks hotter than the desert. I'll have to rent The Professionals ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Have you ever seen The Professionals? It's an action-oriented western that's on the masculine side, but the question of love does ultimately enter the picture. I don't think you would dislike it. Burt Lancaster is a rascal in the film, so he may turn you off some. I actually believe you would like Lee Marvin in this one, though. Ryan is on the softer side. Claudia is a serious handful for the guys. She's on the fiery side. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 No, I've never seen it. I like Burt as a rascal, I only dislike him when he's quiet and boring (Come Back, Little Sheba---no, I say stay away). I would like to like Lee Marvin in something---up to now I can only love to hate him, he's so good at being bad. Actually, I do like him in Donovan's Reef. He's very funny in that one. And I love what I've seen and listened to of him in interviews---a real individualist and a smart guy. Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hearing that you like Lancaster as a rascal, I think you'll find most of the major players in The Professionals to be enjoyable. The story may not be your speed, but I don't think you'll be bored one bit. The film pretty much rolls along at a good clip. Men tend to like The Professionals, so it would be great to hear a woman's opinion on the film. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess Mitchum knew what he was up against after being with Double R in the movie where he was a racist. I see he took this route: if you can't beat 'em... Who wants to see Lee Marvin nice. Snarling, sneering, hot coffee flying through the air, smacks, punches, hair pulling. Yeah!!! Cardinale hotter than the desert. So well-said and so darned true!!! Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Robert Ryan in The Wild Bunch You wouldn't make it through the first five minutes of The Wild Bunch, Miss G. It's that violent that early. I'd stay as far away from this film as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 my.....frankie you do have a way with the camera dont you?! heehee! well i for one thoroughly enjoy your screen caps all the time. keep 'em coming, esp of gary and ryan. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm mighty quick on the draw with the FF button, Frank, so I may be able to zip thru Peckinpah's "balletic" carnage to get to the performances. I'm very curious about Ryan and Bill Holden's characters. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 thats funny april, when you said FF button, i instantly thought of Frank Furters. heehee! i dont know why. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ha ha! I think we'll make that Mr. Grimes' new nick-name, "Frank Furters". At least until he gives us a review on some Gary Cooper movies. Link to post Share on other sites

MissGoddess Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks, c21de---count me as a fan of this movie. I thought Ryan and Tony Quinn make a lusty duo and Mala is a cutie. I'd like to get this on dvd, actually. Here are some other pictures from The City Beneath the Sea: Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 fabulous eye candy april, heehee! hey frank furter, heehee! i cant wait to see those new gary caps and rysn ones too. Link to post Share on other sites
c21de Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 thanks!!! excellent pictures. would love to see more.. I never saw that movie Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Miss G(od's Little Acre) -- I loved those caps from The City Beneath the Sea. I've never seen the film but Ryan's wardrobe makes me wanna see the film. Outrageous. ButterTeaseGreer -- hey frank furter, heehee! i cant wait to see those new gary caps and rysn ones too. Didn't I say to you that teasing me only turns me on? One more tease and you are in trouble, Theresa. Hey, I think I can spell a word by using some letters in that name of yours. I see a T an E an A an S another E and an R. So what are we gonna do with that left over "H"? TEAS-HER? You don't happen to drink Teas, do you? Naahhhh. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 c21de---City Beneath the Sea is Robert Ryan's fun, "search for buried treasure" adventure yarn with lots of humor for a change of pace. If I remember correctly, for once he is the more laid back one while Anthony Quinn provides the fireworks. Frank---I think those diagonal stripes would look very flattering on you, Mr Burns. I'm sure your French tailor could whip you up a suit to match. Link to post Share on other sites
