spence Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 already previously somewhat tried to touch on this on another M. DAVIS post, but got cut off, AGAIN! This is delicate to put it mildly, but confirmed SEE: RKPO 281 an HBO tv movie just for starters! & I have no idea as to why *Orson welles-(l9l5-85) even knew this very personal between WR Hearst & her thing? Co-writer & *Oscar winner for KANE for Best O. screenplay-(P.S.*Orson really did not write most of it's script-(SEE: P.Kael's RAISING KANE article) *Welles desperately needed a co-scripter credit in order to get $paid$ But it was mostly *Herman J. MANKIEWICZ that scripted the #1 greatest film ever yet made. So both co won that sole CITIZEN KANE *ACADEMY AWARD for 1941. (P.S. I never include it among *Oscars SINS OF OMISSION due to losing to another magnificent picture in *Ford's *HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY (Fox) & *Eastwood's #1 film by the way! (TRIVIA: But "The Master" himself *John Ford-(l894-l973) always strongly felt Hawks & *Cooper's SERGENT YORK really should have swept instead (P.S. to all, including TopBilled, LawrenceA & Jakeem, STILL NEED HELP WITH IINSTALLING AN "AVATAR???" THIS HAS BEEN ON MOVIES, BOOKS & THE NET Also try & find CAT'S MEOW "ROSEBUD" ACTUALLY STOOD FOR A VERY PRIVATE PT OF HER ANATOMY! It was a nickname Hearst gave her/it No wonder WR was ****!!!

Yes.... my first poll on IMDb and yes I know I screwed it up by having LITTLE OLD NEW YORK on it twice. I think she's the most underrated star actress of her time. KANE done her in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see SHOW PEOPLE is winning, probably because it's her most well-known picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly an epic film and should be nudged towards rediscovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she's super in SHOW PEOPLE, THE PATSY, LITTLE OLD NEW YORK, WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN FLOWER and THE CARDBOARD LOVER. Of the talkies, I'd have to go with PEG O MY HEART, CAIN AND MABEL, GOING HOLLYWOOD, and BLONDIE OF THE FOLLIES with FIVE AND TEN close behind. All of her MGM silents are at Library of Congress and copyrighted, so they'll probably never get DVD releases (only a few have) by Warners. They probably need a little restoration and of course music tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC and UCLA have the 11-reel US version so that might happen someday it UCLA will play ball and share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of her MGM silents are at Library of Congress and copyrighted, so they'll probably never get DVD releases (only a few have) by Warners. They probably need a little restoration and of course music tracks. This is how I'd rate her films: Top 5 silent films 1. JANICE MEREDITH...I really love this one, everything about it works for me. It's huge as only Hearst could make it. 2. THE PATSY...I enjoy her interplay with Marie Dressler. It's classic from start to finish. 3. SHOW PEOPLE...overrated in my opinion but clever and there are some outstanding scenes. It was the first Davies silent picture I ever saw. 4. THE RED MILL...it's a bit uneven in spots but I like the outdoor action stuff. And you can tell Fatty Arbuckle had a hand in the production, it's his kind of comedy. 5. MARIANNE...the silent version seems stronger than the talkie "remake." Top 5 sound films 1. PEG O' MY HEART...it's a well-written story, the overall production values are quite good, it is very entertaining, and she should have had an Oscar nomination for it. 2. GOING HOLLYWOOD...she works well with Bing, but I get a kick out her scenes with Patsy Kelly even more. 3. OPERATOR 13...so politically incorrect but so good. I can't tell if she's acting or mimicking southern stereotypes. She's brilliant in this film and Gary Cooper works well with her. 4. BLONDIE OF THE FOLLIES...has an engaging story and good costars. 5. POLLY OF THE CIRCUS...it's a different sort of role for her, and the story doesn't entirely work, but I think she and Gable do as well as they can with the material. And C. Aubrey Smith is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TCM polls can be set to time out, meaning after x-amount of time, the poll ends and nobody else can vote anymore.
