CineSage_jr Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It can't be Columbia, because both men made films there. Astaire never made films at Universal, and he didn't appear in any Fox films until the 1950s. So I'd have to venture that it was during the time Astaire was making HOLIDAY INN (1942) at Paramount.

MrWriteLA Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Okay, another In Other Words... A disbeliever in the paranormal, investigating the death of a widow who saw a ghost, thinks he sees one too... and soon Sir Walter Raleigh, a seaweed-gatherer and a prolific efficiency expert do as well.

JackBurley Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Is it Laura? Disbeliever = Dana Andrews (Night of the Demon) widow = Gene Tierney (Ghost & Mrs. Muir) Sir Walter Raleigh = Vincent Price (Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex) seaweed-gatherer = ? efficiencey expert = Clifton Webb (Cheaper by the Dozen) Did Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson) collect the seaweed that was strewn about Rebecca after her boating accident?

CineSage_jr Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Rockwell did a lot of work for Hollywood, ranging from THE RAZOR'S EDGE (1946) to STAGECOACH (1966). The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stickbridge, Mass., was unaware of his immense painting of Victor Mature in SAMSON AND DELILAH until it was offered for auction a few years ago. I have a set of 20th Century-Fox studio key-set proofs of his paintings the cast of STAGECOACH in my collection, and they're quite lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglis Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi Cinesage thank-you for the background on Norman Rockwell I love his work I have only seen it in books and those plates the make .I always liked his true to form paintings of eveyday life in America.
