TopBilled Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Tonight, TCM is offering a double feature of *Ingrid Bergman & Cary Grant*. First, it's the seldom screened romantic comedy INDISCREET, then it's NOTORIOUS, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Bonus trivia: INDISCREET was remade as a TV-movie in 1988 with Lesley-Anne Down & Robert Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 One of the greatest "pairings" was when Max Roach decided to pair STAN LAUREL with OLIVER HARDY. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks Sepia for catching on to my use of 'pairings' as opposed to 'couples.' LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Stan and Ollie would be my first choice of "pairings" . Coming in second , Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. And without question, Bill and Myrna are the #1 "couple". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceyk65 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 How about Cary Grant with either Katharine Hepburn or Irene Dunne? Those two parinings had great chemistry in all their movies. I like Marlene Dietrich with John Wayne and I think Jane Russell goes very well with both Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 A classic duo I like involves the collaboration between David Lean and Noel Coward. Their last film together, BRIEF ENCOUNTER, aired on TCM earlier today. It's been awhile since we have seen some of their other works-- IN WHICH WE SERVE (I remember it airing during Leslie Howard's SOTM tribute a few years ago) and THIS HAPPY BREED (even longer since TCM has played it). Then there's BLITHE SPIRIT which stars Rex Harrison. Has that one ever been on TCM? I would love to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Today on TCM we have a few more classic pairings: First, it's *Maureen O'Sullivan & Johnny Weissmuller* in TARZAN THE APE MAN, the first of seven pictures for them. Then, we have *Ava Gardner & Clark Gable* costarring in MOGAMBO. They made three pictures together at MGM. And there's *June Allyson & Peter Lawford* who teamed up for five pictures at MGM. The 1949 remake of LITTLE WOMEN, which airs today, was their fourth collaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulio Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 TopBilled: - Good selections and teamings often not thought of. However, Johnny and Maureen only did 6 Tarzan films together at MGM - "Tarzan the Ape Man", "Tarzan and his Mate", "Tarzan Escapes", "Tarzan Finds a Son", "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" and "Tarzan's New York Adventure", although I wish they'd done more as I always thought them to be just about perfect and she has always been vastly underrated as an actress.

TopBilled Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks Paulio...you are right, they made six Tarzan films together-- but they also both have cameos in 1970's THE PHYNX. So technically they did appear in seven pictures. In the Complete SOTM and SUTS thread, I have made a case advocating that O'Sullivan be given a SUTS tribute-- though I think she could very easily be honored as Star of the Month.

Paulio Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You are so right and I stand corrected. I had completely forgotten about "The Phynx" but now remember seeing it and being one of only about 3 or 4 people in the audience. Thanks for reminding me and I completely agree with your comments about O' Sullivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
