bhryun Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'll have to say Flynn does at the moment. I like his eyes, his character, and his little mustache. SO ADORABLE! Anyone else agree or disagree? If I were a man, I'd say my heart belonged to Bacall and Lizabeth Scott. Does any man disagree? I'm sure you do. But who do you like? Ladies and gents, may I present this topic to you from the liveliest organ in my body which readily disagrees with my head... my heart. May you keep this topic going, and reveal the ones who stole your heart from those decades ago. Whether it was their smile, their walk, or... whatever it was that turned us on about them. May they live on here! I welcome you, one and all, to this topic for I couldn't help fall for the swashbuckling hero, the Robin Hood of my dreams, Errol Flynn.

deeanddaisy666 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Tough one. I can't decide between Cary Grant, Warren William and William Powell. Female, Carole Lombard, no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allycat1920 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I've said it before, but Paul Newman. Of course the eyes, but also the cocky smile, just about everything. I watch The Long Hot Summer and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and fall in love every time. As for the women, I would say Bergman, Bacall, and K. Hepburn (although I love Audrey as well). Doesn't matter what I see them in, even there worst movies, they always make things worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainablue1 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Gosh, I think Charles Boyer stole it the first time I watched Love Affair. His dreamy eyes and that deep voice with an accent- as Lucy said on that famous episode with Charles Boyer in Paris- " He is just so, ggggrrrrrowwww!!!"

bhryun Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Gregory Peck -- I mean, he's Atticus Finch for pete's sake! How can you not lose your heart? Maureen O'Hara -- She'll steal your heart for sure in The Quiet Man... tough and vunerable at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardny4me Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 For the ladies there would be 2 : Judy Garland, just for her voice and her personality. I love watching and listening to her on screen. And Vivien Leigh is definitely up there as well, for her beauty and her brilliant performances. I have been watching quite a few Errol Flynn movies lately, and I can see why he had such appeal to men and woman, so he is up there for me. But I would have to put Burt Lancaster on the top of the lisr, he just exploded on screen. He needs to be "re-discovered" someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmcki76058 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Who's got my heart? I'd have to say Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart. Both very good looking but with the softest of hearts. Just watch Gable in GWTW or Bogart in To Have and Have Not. I'd be their Bacall or Lombard any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msladysoul Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Dick Powell stole my heart. His voice does something to me. It gets deep within me and just can stop my heart and makes me all warm. He gives me goosebumps. I never get tried of listening to him. His charm, youthful boyish looks are handsome, his humor, just great. I love him to death. As far as female, Nina Mae McKinney stole my heart 3 years ago. Her role in Hallelujah stays in my heart. Her beauty, energy, vivaciousness, full of life, sex appeal, youth is something I envy. She's one of my favorite actresses and because of her she introduced me to a great era of classic movies and entertainment. Ruby Keeler's sweetness got my heart. The sweetest woman in movie history. Ann Sheridan is another favorite. She's just a natural, loveable actress. She can make the dulliest movie watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilelmhr Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Watching CAPTAIN BLOOD, I'm reminded of a remark Basil Rathbone made in his bio on working with Olivia de Havilland on that film: "You couldn't possibly imagine a more enchantingly beautiful young girl." She gets my heart. As anybody who has seen CAPTAIN BLOOD, ROBIN HOOD, or any of those films she did with Flynn, will probably agree. She also happened to be a fine actress, even at an early age and with just a little stage experience behind her. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nooshsaz Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Im only a teenager so i never got to experience those stars light up the screen. But after seeing Jimmy Stewart in HItchcock's movies i have fallen in love with his 'i didn't do it' charm. I'm sure you must agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Dodge City the other night, and I was amazed by Olivia. She was only about 22 in the film, in 1938, and the following year, everybody knows what happened...

brackenhe Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 yes, holly, it always surprises me how much gravitas that Olivia brought to the part of Melanie and she was so young. If Hattie McDaniel hadn't been so good, I would have like her to win the Best Supporting Oscar for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 The most captivating thing about Olivia are her big, beautiful eyes. So expressive, no matter what the role. Has anyone seen the "Male Animal" with Olivia and Fonda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilelmhr Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 hollyholt1986: Agree about DODGE CITY--and how she was always able to make so much more out of those ingenue roles with Flynn than was in the script. Her Abbie Irving in that one was a delight. Always so much expression in her eyes. And yes, I did see THE MALE ANIMAL although it's not one of my favorites. I thought she was photographed even more flatteringly in IN THIS OUR LIFE with those huge close-ups of her reactions to Bette Davis' tantrums!

moreta41 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 While Errol Flynn is right up there,(and top of the list most of the time), I have rediscovered Sterart Granger. For romance you can't beat "Scaramouche". Be still my beating heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loliteblue Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Robert Donat loved him in "Mr. Chips" & 39 Steps he just makes me swoon! Can't wait to see the movie "The Ghost goes West"...Also John Garfield in body & soul, Four Daughters where he makes is cinema debut! "The postman always rings twice" "Humorques" oops my spelling! But you know who i mean. Also Pricilla Lane in everything that she did in films love her, love her, love her.... lolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venerados Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 My first thought was of the musical Thousands Cheer with Gloria De Haven, June Allyson and Virginia O'Brien singing "In a Little Spanish Town". I figure I can have three at once since it's a fantastic question to begin with. And if I were a lady, I guess Robert Mitchum. Is he considered attractive by the opposite sex?

spencerl964 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 By the way to sgrayson429, you probably already are aware of this fact, but just in case *Peck's "Atticus Finch" was voted #1 all-time movie HERO in "AFI's 100 years...100 Heroes/Villians"-(2003 special) Ironically, he passed on only about 2 weeks later! For me, lady-(actress)is gone-(though not while film stock is there of course) & of our rather sad movie era:Michelle Pfeiffer-(1957-)-(however, not in same league as former) I now Antar's immediate reply on this question Hedly Lamarr, I mean Hedy!-(soory, a bit of Mel Brooks slipped in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeanddaisy666 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Robert Mitchum??????? Hmmmm, in my eccentric little opinion, I don't think Flynn or Peck are fit to clean his shoes, when it comes to animal magnetism. Isn't that what they called sex appeal in some psychobabble decade, animal magnetism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
