OllieTSB Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Oh no, don't start tempting her with MORE Jerome Cowans! What's next - Allen Jenkins?!! When the TORCHY BLANES were on a few weeks ago, I had completely forgotten that her boyfriend is Barton MacLane, and I enjoyed all of those. There was one (TB IN PANAMA) with a good Lola Lane but a completely nondescript Paul Kelly taking over those two roles, and blah - it was 'just nuthin'. It couldn't hold my interest. But then Barton & Glenda show back up, and whoosh, off they go again. Were those THAT much better stories? Actually, I blame PANAMA's flatness solely on Paul Kelly - he had no pizzazz to the role. He didn't mutter, he didn't stomp and fuss, he just added nothing to the film. Then in the last TB film (PLAYING WITH DYNAMITE) Jane Wyman's got the lead and Allen Jenkins takes over the boyfriend role and does a very good job in it. He brings all his typical wise-cracking side-jokes, dumb comments and continuously-baffled looks just perfectly. I don't think Jenkins ever made it to the highlights of cinema like Jerome Cowans did, but he delivered that leading-man performance very well.

JackFavell Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Oh, no, Ollie! If I start collecting Allen Jenkins too...my house will blow apart... those two just made WAY too many movies.... My heart belongs to Jerome. At least until next week..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ha! What I should have added to my post was that OLLIE was the man to see about your Jerome. Ok, I'm going to find the Jerome pix now and I'll upload them at TCMU. The movie with the former president's ex-wife was really cute, you will love it. I never heard of this one, Wendy, the trailer you posted from YouTube. Have you seen it? Jerome should have a song dedicated to him---or a film noir festival....DEWEY!!!

JackFavell Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have never seen Find the Blackmailer, or heard of it. I did look up a few Alias Smith and Jones episodes - Jerome was in 6 of them, but he only played a banker in the first for like two seconds. That's all I've watched so far. Cowan aged more gracefully than any other actor I can think of. What a doll! I'm in love. Again. It must be spring..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Wendy, this is the Jerome/Jane mystery movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036730/ Ask Ollie, he's a fan, too. It's very cute. So Jerome aged better than Sean Connery???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieTSB Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Find The Blackmailer?!! OH MY... now I gotta have that. And listen, don't threaten me with YOUR house blowing up. I've been thinking of buying out the neighbors, bulldozing down everything just to extend our shelves out another few hundred feet. "If I build shelfspace, the DVDs will come!" Isn't that how it goes? Find The Blackmailer. Good grief - so TCM has shown this before! Darn... well, time to start putting up serious Suggest A Film numbers for this one! It looks like so much fun, too. I wonder if he's ever done song & dance numbers? He's got this great musical voice, and he's agile enough looking - in those days, probably everyone was capable of it, and I suspect he would be in the upper side of those.

MissGoddess Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Jerome Cowan was in a John Ford movie!!! According to IMDb.com, he was in THE HURRICANE...I can't remember him, though.... IMDb.com also says he was in SHALL WE DANCE, and I don't remember him in that but it says he sang a song!! Not bad. I just love that in 2009 we are excited about Jerome Cowan.

HollywoodGolightly Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 According to imdb, Jerome Cowan played Captain Nagle in The Hurricane. Also, for fans of Guest in the House, this new DVD is coming out next Tuesday in the UK: Not sure what the picture quality would be like, but I'll try and keep an eye out for reviews.

You might have a point there, Wendy. It's still sad, though, that Connery has retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 There's a trailer on IMDB or Youtube fromt eh Hurricane, and he is yelling at someone while wearing a white uniform. I don't remember him either, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Time for another Ford festival! I do remember him from the end of Mr. Skeffington, because he is the funniest of Fanny's old suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I just got notice from the library that Hatari! is waiting for me, and that is something else I will look forward to in the next few days. There's a few other things I'd love to ramble about, but I know that some people here don't like it when I start going off on a tangent...and I can be pretty bad about that, for which I sincerely apologize. I'll try and stay out for the time being since I have a bunch of movies to catch up with. But best regards to all the ramblers, hope everyone else is as excited about the GG day in SUTS as Frank, Molo and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 What's the line? Something about "He followed you licking his lips..." In this pic he is trying to get a look down Brigid's blouse, I think... Here are some dear pics of another play he did - Magnificent Yankee. The funny thing is, he actually looked better than this when he really got to the age he is portraying in the picture.

I guess it doesn't pay to sneak a peak down her blouse in the earlier scene! Jerome, Jerome - someone shoulda warned ya... tsk tsk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Watched the blooper reels. They were pretty funny. I gotta tell ya though, Ann Sheridan must've had the sexiest laugh in Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
