ClassicMovieRankings Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Not thinking this is going to be a huge view getter for my website....but figured TCM might have some people that can appreciate an underappreciated actor like Leslie Howard. http://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/leslie-howard-movies/ Any feedback would be appreciated.

GregoryPeckfan Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi, CMR. This is the poster formerly known as GregoryPeckFan. I have already left a message on your Leslie Howard page. My favourite film of his is Gone With the Wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 CMR-- Leslie Howard is my first favorite actor. I prefer him in these films - - The Scarlet Pimpernel Of Human Bondage The Petrified Forest Intermezzo Pimpernel Smith CMR-- The thing is he was a war hero and he didn't come back. So he's just forgotten. He was the only real movie star who was killed in World War II and nobody ever honors him for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that people in Britain honour him all the time. I always point out that he died in battle and that he was a big movie star. Because Carole Lombard died after entertaining the troops she was the first American movie star to die in WWII. Howard and Niven made Spitfire together about the man who designed that airplane in the hopes of drumming up interest in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicMovieRankings Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hey Princess of Tap. Glad to hear that you are a fan of Leslie Howard. I have 3 of 5 of your favorite Howard films. In my research it seems that Mr. Howard was a good person. He had to give his financial stake in Gone With The Wind to return to England. England had a rule that you could not return if you had financial assests outside England. He gave up a lot to return to fight Germany...ultimately his own life....the man was a hero....and one not many in America really remember. Hey Columbo....good points. I want to see Spitfire in the near future. This was a fun page to research and write. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the films you listed I would add; Pygmalion It's Love I'm After Stand In Smilin' Through Berkley Square Five and Dime Devotion Animal Kingdom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
