LonesomePolecat Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hilarious supporting cast in MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET. Edmund Gwenn, Macy, Gimble, Judge Gene Lockhart, his manager William Frawley, the hilarious Mrs Shelhammer, and even Thelma Ritter steal the movie. Who even cares about the romance? 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Princess of Tap Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 His Girl Friday-- Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell-- They are good but they don't carry the film. *Ralph Bellamy-- His best doormat performance Roscoe Karns Porter Hall *John Qualen-- Best performance of his career Helen Mack Abner Biberman *Billy Gilbert-- Best comic scene Gene Lockhart Clarence Kolb But they're all great! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
LonesomePolecat Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 PINOCCHIO -- stolen by Jimminy Cricket THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE -- forget Laurence Harvey, it's all about SInatra, Janet Leigh, the evil ANgela Lansbury, her bumbling hubby, the brainwasher with all the great lines, and the other memorable supporting characters! THE COCOANUTS, ANIMAL CRACKERS, A DAY AT THE RACES & other Marx Brother movies -- if you pay attention, there are actually main characters not named Marx DAVID COPPERFIELD -- incredible supporting cast with WC Fields, Edna May Oliver, Basil Rathbone, Lionel Barrymore, Una O'Connor--who even plays Davey? 3 Link to post Share on other sites
