She Couldn't Say No is hilarious nonsense. And Eve Arden is really top dog in it though Roger Pryor (???) gets that billing. Glad to discover this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see THE DARK ANGEL airing. It's based on a play I like. And I think NIGHT SONG is an unheralded classic with a great cast that includes Dana Andrews, Ethel Barrymore and Hoagy Carmichael. HOTEL (which served as the basis for the Aaron Spelling TV series that came later) is one of her best later films. She was in some junk at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The british film makers gave her much better roles ( my opinion, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I'd like THE DIRTY DOZEN when I first saw it, but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would (and I'm a woman). And THE PROFESSIONALS....how can you go wrong with Lee and Burt Lancaster in it? Not to mention you also got great actors such as Robert Ryan, Jack Palance, Woody Strode and Ralph Bellamy along for the ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think THE DIRTY DOZEN turned me off because in some ways it seemed derivative of THE GREAT ESCAPE, which is impossible to top. Love-love-love Jack Palance in westerns...SHANE, THE PROFESSIONALS, MONTE WALSH, THE MCMASTERS and OKLAHOMA CRUDE...the grittier the better, with Jack in villain mode. He satirized his "hard" western image later in CITY SLICKERS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was mostly known to play the heavies, for sure, but he was pretty darn convincing every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's a tortured good guy in THE BIG KNIFE (1955) which is an interesting role for him. He's someone who deserves a Summer Under the Stars day on TCM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gorman Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 JACK PALANCE played a 'good guy' in MONTE WALSH (1970), btw. Mitchell Ryan played a real scumbag in that one. MERLE OBERON's last movie was INTERVAL (1973-Mexican). Doesn't show up much on-air from *any* movie channel I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
