Loving the Classics Posted February 2, 2015 So instead of doing 1 actor or actress for our February Featured Player we are focusing on screen teams. We have already put movies with these famous duos on sale, but does anyone have any additions they would like to see? Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Errol Flynn & Olivia de Havilland Katharine Hepburn & Cary Grant William Powell & Myrna Loy Jeannette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney Bing Crosby & Bob Hope Bogart & Bacall Laurel & Hardy Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn Greer Garson & Walter Pidgeon John Wayne & Maureen O’Hara Abbott & Costello Martin & Lewis Doris Day & Rock Hudson Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau Brenda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted February 3, 2015 Clark Gable and Joan Crawford Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello What I found amusing in this list, Midnight, is that I don't think Karloff and Lugosi were ever considered a "sreen team"! In fact, MY understanding is, that they really didn't care too much for each other. In the movie ED WOOD, actor Martin Landau, as Bela Lugosi, refers to Boris Karloff, in one scene, as---"That LYMIE C**KSUCKER!", which "urban legend" claims he actually said that about Karloff at some point! I was surprised( or just didn't notice) anyone didn't mention HOPE&CROSBY I would sometimes joke that VIRGINIA MAYO and STEVE COCHRAN were a "screen team", as they DID make a few appearances together!

Loving the Classics Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions everyone! We've gotten most of these added, but are still working on a few. The list is up to 35 screen teams and close to 200 movies now! Any other suggestions? Brenda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midnight08 Posted February 3, 2015 Actually "Sepiatone" I had a book from the early 1970's written by Leonard Maltin on movies and in the book were two pages of photos of what he called "screen teams". And Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi were pictured among the other screen teams (such as Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler). So if you disagree take it up with Leonard Maltin. LOL. After all, isn't he the last word on everything to do with the movies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midnight08 Posted February 3, 2015 Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride Donald O'Connor and Francis the Talking Mule And here's a really old, old screen team: John Bunny and Flora Finch (anyone ever heard of them)? By the way, screen teams didn't always get along great with each other. Just because they were "screen teams" didn't make them best friends. Many times they were placed together for box office appeal. Case in point: Boris and Bela. Bela was jealous as Boris was the more popular star. On the "small screen" look at Vivian Vance and William Frawley. They HATED one another yet they were a screen team from 1951 till 1960. That takes some damn good acting.

I was thinking about Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts too, last night I found a few of their Hal Roach shorts that can be found on Youtube. Also TCM has aired their short "The Soilers" in-between features in recent times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
