lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 "One of mine, (name of movie) with (name of actor, btw, he's a famous British actor) had a dramatic scene at the end, where I'm dying of consumption. Just before my death, ----- is talking to me. He knows I'm dying and I know it. It was very difficult doing. On TV, right in the middle of the scene, when ------ is talking and I'm gasping for breath, they end it, cutting out the death. I look like an idiot."

LiamCasey Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 1947? Was this said by Gene Tierney with regards to The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (which is probably my favorite movie of hers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 No sorry, not Gene or the movie. This famous actress also had a very successful tv show for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well, rats!! Wish I'd watched "Green Dolphin Street" when it was on the other day but I'll guess Donna Reed??? "Green Dolphin Street". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not Donna. Green Dolphin is one of my fav movies btw. This actress did have a tv anthology type show years before, but her well known show was in the '60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamCasey Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 At this point, I am fairly confident that the actress is Barbara Stanwyck. But the movie must be one that I haven't seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 At this point, I am fairly confident that the actress is Barbara Stanwyck. But the movie must be one that I haven't seen. Yes, it is Barbara Stanwyck. The film is called THE OTHER LOVE co-starring David Niven. The film is never shown anymore. Stanwyck has a death scene in the end but for some unknown reason when it was shown on TV, the character Karen (Stanwyck plays) is still alive at the end of the print, cozied up to her doctor as he plays the piano!!! Stanwyck was very annoyed when she viewed the film on tv. Your thread Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I doubt it. If you're interpretation of it not being shown on tv is because of Stanwyck, I never wrote that. For some unknown reason the film hasn't been shown in a long time. That's all I know. According to IMDB (not where I got the rest of the info from) the running time for the film is listed as 95 minutes, but circulating prints run 89 minutes. Those last few minutes of her death scene are not on those copies. I would guess that the film was cut for commercials when shown on tv. Since you're interested why not investigate on your own? I only added this extra info as a matter of interest, the original question I posted was answered correctly. Liam, it's still your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 How about Paul Muni? His first film, "The Valiant" is about a man on death row. "I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang" is probably his best known film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang" is probably his best known film. But SCARFACE is a well-known film that was released before CHAIN GANG (per wiki). This actor was more famous than Muni.

MilesArcher Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I assume that you are referring to George Raft. What prison picture was his first movie? According to his filmography on IMDB, he started out in small roles as dancers and henchmen. Also, I think Muni is as well known as Raft. Muni won an Oscar and was nominated five other times, including for "The Valiant". Raft was never nominated for any acting award. Paul Muni was a major movie star in the 1930's. Raft made mainly "B" pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
