I agree about Barbara Stanwyck. Man, even in her 60s when she was dressed in those tight pants in "The Big Valley", she was HOT!

How about Marie Windsor and Beverly Garland in jean cutoffs in "Swamp Women"? Super legs there.

I also had one of those soundtrack albums, the one that had the photo insert of Barnabas and Quentin. And Jonathan Frid reading the lyrics to, I believe, "Strangers in the Night". Boy, do I remember that show, and like you, Lynn, would rush home from school to watch it - particularly remem...

Yes, Moira, many thanks for providing some entertaining insight into the enigmatic yet immensely talented Henry Daniell. He's in my top three of all-time favorite character actors. Will watch ANYTHING that he is in. Yet outside of the little that Greg Mank offered in his "Karloff and Lugosi&quo...

I have to go with "Curse of the Werewolf" (is it true that Chris Lee was at one point considered for Leon?). The film just brings all the werewolf lore into a sharp focus, from the rape of the mute girl by the animal-like beggar to the blasphemy of having this poor child born on Christmas ...

Watching "Night of the Lepus" last night transported me back to those glorious days of the 1970s when I obtained my driver's license and our drive-in theaters were inundated with "schlock" monsters. The more classy horror offerings of Vincent Price and Hammer were disappearing ra...

One of the best of the early gangster dramas -- and a product of Louis B. Mayer's MGM, no less. Along with "The Big House" and "The Secret Six", this film rivals Warner Brothers' best. The most violent and uncompromisingly brutal crime drama until "Scarface".

Was just chatting online with Sybil Jason and she told me the following story about Lee Marvin that I'd like to share: My husband's personal buddy was Lee Marvin and I can still hear them screaming "OUTSIDE" when they were in the water waiting to catch a good wave. Lee always bicycled down...

Yes indeed, many thanks for this link, Moira. There was only one Lee Marvin, and when he was on the screen, he invariably caught and held your attention. Even in such a small role as "Meatball" in The Caine Mutiny. Just love that guy!

After the umpteenth viewing of this film, I too came to the realization this evening that the letter was too well-composed and literate to be written in such a brief time by a man whose life has been so suddenly altered and is facing the prospect of almost certain death. I doubt that under those ter...

Definitely would rank "Fort Apache" at my top of the list. While short on action, I found the story much more interesting than the other two Ford cavalry movies. And I personally liked Henry Fonda's character turn as a quasi-villain. "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is beautifully phot...

Boy jdb1, there are so many character actors that I've either recently discovered or rediscovered. Until TCM came up here to Winnipeg, we pretty much had a dearth of classic movies on our local networks. But besides Bond and Hale, I ALWAYS enjoy Frank McHugh, Allen Jenkins, George Tobias, Walter Bre...

One thing I particularly enjoyed about this film -- and something I'm becoming more watchful of since TCM began broadcasting in Winnipeg is the cast of supporting actors. A real treat for me to see that brief appearance by Ward Bond as the bus driver and, of course, Alan Hale. I find now that when I...

Here's some trivia that you may not know. In the scene following the famous "Walls of Jericho" sequence, as Claudette Colbert makes her way to the trailer court shower, the little blonde girl who comes skipping by her is a pre-Ed Wood, pre-Elvis Presley songwriter Dolores Fuller. All of 11...

Couldn't agree with you more, Moxie, about George Murphy being miscast in "Border Incident". Fortunately, the rest of the strong cast (Montalban, DaSilva and especially Charlie) makes up for it. Always thought Murphy was too much of a "Smiling Jim" to be believable in stark drama...
