TripleHHH Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hey Vallo, hows it going I missed those because I havent seen those Save for Robin Hood, and again having only seen it once so far, I didnt know he was in it, it hadnt absorbed, but now it will Mr Skiffington I will Netflix this weekend as I am almost done with checking out Bette Davis movies, some of which I liked and some I wasnt into As for Claude Rains, there is another movie the Clairvoyant that I think hes in, its supposed to be good, but I dont think its on DVD or VHS, if it is VHS its out of print Id guess..

vallo13 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Triple HHH, Raines was one of the best, now a days, people have no idea who he was.(sad) By the way the The Evil Mind ("The Clairvoyant") is on DVD try here:http://www.amazon.com/The-Evil-Mind-Clairvoyant/dp/B000W9SEX4/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1206616530&sr=8-1 Raines plays Prince John in "The Adventures of Robin Hood" Another good Raines role was in 1940's "The Sea Hawk" again with Errol Flynn.

redriver Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Rains was such an old timer he appeared in plays by George Bernard Shaw. Not revivals. The original! His theatrical sensibilities translated well to film. Especially since the style at the time was more melodramatic. But I think he'd do well today too. He played a credible villain, a likeable father figure, a corrupt authority. I saw THE CLAIRVOYANT on TCM. Not too exciting. But Mr. Rains was good as always.

FredCDobbs Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I saw THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD on TV many years ago. It's a leftist political film about capitalists who conspired to start WW I, and it's a very interesting film. It follows the full CP party line about the forces behind WW I.

zooty127 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ava, we are on the same "NOTORIOUS" wavelength cause I absolutely adore that film. Ingrid & Cary are smokin' H-O-T! Memorable performances by all (Claude Rains & Leopoldine Konstantin made one creepy mother & son duo). And that ending:)! What more can I say. Talk about erotic/hypnotic/exotic!!!!!!!!
