butterscotchgreer Posted September 14, 2009 Hey Wendy! i love the pics of Suzanne Pleshette! i think i loved her best paired with James garner and Roddy McDowell. aawwww! how cute are they together? heehee! do you like Mr. Buddwing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks for the tip, Laffite. I will most definitely be looking for Joyce Reynolds. According to my schedule, *Janie* is on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 8:30 am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 14, 2009 Hey there, Greer's girl! I did like Mr. Buddwing, surprisingly. Those kind of amnesia/mind game type movies don't always appeal to me, but James Garner really did a good job making you feel his anxiety and confusion. I also really liked Jean Simmons, which is unusual for me. She played someone so against what she usually plays, right down to the blond hair! I thought she was very good. I thought the movie was really well done, and not too confusing to follow, for that type of film. I actually think one of those stills I posted of Suzanne might be Katherine Ross, but I simply couldn't tell, and I couldn't remember the scenes in the movie well enough to decide. I liked it anyway, and Katherine is a brunette too, so I guess it's OK. One thing, though. I missed the very end! Of all the movies to not find out what happened..... I hope they show it again soon, so I can see it all the way through! I really need to know how everything turned out...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissGoddess Posted September 15, 2009 Lovely pictures of Miss Paget, thank you, Jackie. I don't know why she was always being cast as a Native American or "exotic" type, lol, her looks to me are very European. I like her best as a dark brunette.

JackFavell Posted September 15, 2009 I was wondering that, myself. As I was going through those pics, I was thinking she looks closer to Arlene Dahl or maybe Dana Wynter than a native American or a tropical siren. Thanks for those gorgeous photos! I am glad you had some that were less B-movie..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted September 15, 2009 She (Debra P) was prettier in motion pictures than still photos I think. In honor of you-know-what, here are some pix of Joanne Dru: (click to enlarge---sorry for the watermark) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted September 15, 2009 Oh, and though it's small I had to add this one, with another favorite brunette! She sure had the best leading men! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

butterscotchgreer Posted September 15, 2009 hey sweet wendy! I did like Mr. Buddwing, surprisingly. Those kind of amnesia/mind game type movies don't always appeal to me, but James Garner really did a good job making you feel his anxiety and confusion. I also really liked Jean Simmons, which is unusual for me. She played someone so against what she usually plays, right down to the blond hair! I thought she was very good.

I liked it anyway, and Katherine is a brunette too, so I guess it's OK. actually i agree with you. im not usually a Jean Simmons fan, but i liked her in Buddwing. i loved seeing Angela Lansbury as a supporting character. she did an awesome job as that crazy, kinda drunk looking girl from the past. heehee! she can do anything! i just love her! i do have to say, this isnt my favorite James Garner movie, but he makes it believable and makes your heart feel for him and his lost state of mind. One thing, though. I missed the very end! Of all the movies to not find out what happened..... I hope they show it again soon, so I can see it all the way through! I really need to know how everything turned out...... i hope you get to watch the rest of the movie! TCM needs to show it again. its a rather interesting ending. i liked it.

JackFavell Posted September 15, 2009 Hey there, my little chickadee! I do like to see Angela Lansbury as a supporting player in almost everything. My husband was watching her in something, I can't remember .... maybe The Harvey Girls? He asked me "who is that?" (he only says that when he thinks someone is pretty) and I said Angela Lansbury and he says no "that pretty one, the blond." adn I said, "yeah, that's Angela Lansbury." Well, I thought he was going to have a heart attack, since he only really knows her from Murder, She Wrote. I think it was the idea of thinking Jessica Fletcher was pretty that got him....

HollywoodGolightly Posted September 15, 2009 Hi SamSpade, welcome to the forum! You've mentioned some really great brunettes. I should like to add Lupe Velez to the list.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted September 15, 2009 > {quote:title=JackFavell wrote:}{quote} > Nooooo! Oh my gosh, when you see my picture you will think, "she thought she looked like Joanna Dru? NOT!" Then I bet you're prettier. One of my favorite Hitchcock leading ladies was the very non-blonde, Margaret Lockwood, who will be starring with James Mason in the upcoming TCM movie, THE WICKED LADY (Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8:00 pm EST). I've never seen this movie but I've heard it's good; I'm intrigued by the premise. Some candid photos of Margaret at home and on various sets, plus some stills from The Wicked Lady with James Mason and Michael Rennie: (click to enlarge) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
