mr.6, so close the thread is yours. I was going for the remake of *Morning Glory* - (1958) *Stage Struck*

Susan Strassberg is the Katharine Hepburn character, Henry Fonda is the Adolphe Menjou character of the producer who falls in love with her. Herbert Marshall plays the actor who helps her, C. Aubrey Smith played him in the original. Good work, mr.6

I do remember it, Sixes. I saw it after bigscreen release, back when VHS rental stores were about one to every block, like Starbucks. I will watch for this premier. Next up:

 

Mid-1950s. Asinine scene in a pretty stand Western. Bad Guy, prepared in ambush, aims and fires, with a rifle, at the hero. Misses. Hero quick-draws his pistol, snaps off a shot, and kills the Bad Guy. This kind of unrealistic gunplay draws sneers from viewers who are actually familiar with how to use firearms properly.

 

Film? Who?

Scenes are divided between riverboat gambling salons and the frontier farther west. Good Guy is an A-list star with a solid resume`, but he did not often make Westerns. Bad Guy is a solid-citizen support-role performer, seen in many Westerns, but not exclusively. It often happened in his career that he had relatively small roles, but that he often got "killed" on screen by top-name stars.

Correct, skipper. The rifleman in that scene was Robert Wilke (sometimes billed as Robert J. Wilke), who, as mentioned, put in a lot of time getting snuffed by some A-List names (James Stewart, James Coburn, Grace Kelly, and the like).

 

skipper's thread.

Robert Wilke is one of those unsung familiar villains we often see on the screen, but whose names nobody knows...He has this weird and threatening way of showing his teeth where you don't know if he's smiling or smirking....

 

Next:

 

The wind blows five and ten dollar bills on the ground, and a lady picks them up...

Boy, you're good. Here came Jones and there was Loretta Young in her $700 rancher's dress. Gary Cooper's production company made that movie and they were flabbergasted, not to say livid, that she insisted on that dress. They were going to whip something up in the wardrobe department that would be more realistic, but not on your life would she take it. Nope. $700 of their production money went for that dress.

 

Anyway she looked sensational in it, and it was a wonderful picture, and I particularly liked the line where he tells Bill Demarest that the reason the saloon inhabitants stood back and got out of his way was that he was "unsmiling."

 

You are up, old buddy ...

The scene described here is a 60s film:

 

 

A doctor sits by a phonograph playing Ma' Blushin' Rosie while darning his sock. There's been a scuffle in town. He's called away to treat a patient. A woman and small boy watch as he treats his patient. ??
