Re: "You look a lot like ....

I'd like to try these actresses on for size in the look-a-like department. I think these gals resemble each other: http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt270/CineMaven/CineMaven094/59fe23a4-a731-4fe4-ba8c-4f6040b8488f_zps0ea3c3bf.jpg http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt270/CineMaven/CineMaven094/1323...

Re: *CANDIDS*

The relatively brief role of Chester, in "D.O.A." played by birthday boy Neville Brand, is a memorable highlight, because we see on display one of the all-time great out-of-control and sadistic psychopaths in cinematic history. http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt270/CineMaven/CINEMAVEN%...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

Loved your review of Double Harness, Tee. Yes, I see the Ann Harding/Mary Astor connection - both smart women who don't pull punches, throaty voiced, upright comportment and temperament...straight shooting, steadfast and direct (but not above a little manipulation to get what they want). http://i61...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

What are some of your favorite comedies? What would you take on a desert island...besides Sugar? Maven O'Cinema! I do like LIBELED LADY. It's cute and flighty; full of spirit. I'm just not filled with admiration for its cleverness the way I am some other comedies. When we get to that island, count ...

Still reeling over the death of Lauren Bacall. But wanted to mention Cary Grant's day on TCM:

Re: Gone With or Without fanfare

Again I say, only in the classic film world, would someone at 89 elicit a reaction like "Oh no. So soon!" She was special. Tough, feline, sultry, no nonsense. Her intro to the world in "TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT" like a panther, facing Bogie. "WRITTEN ON THE WIND" just play...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

LIBELED LADY is cute. Not one of my favorite comedies ever, but pretty good. http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt270/CineMaven/CINEMAVEN%20FEMALE%20ACTRESSES/d259e237-3319-488f-8344-1280f07e7cb9_zps2470f555.jpg WHAT?!

Re: Your favorite character actors

You all my know that my heart belongs "Sammykins." ( Samuel S. Hinds for those who aren't keeping track of my cinema lovelife. ) I love his silver hair and steely voice and elfin little ears. << Sigh! >> And his Authority. He’s in countless movies and when I hear his voice, I stop what I’m...

Re: CAROLE LOMBARD

Can't think of a better excuse to bump up my thread on Carole Lombard, what with TCM having had it's LOMBARD day Sunday, August 10th. Wasn't too crazy about "True Confession." I found her a little shrill and too dizzy and Fred MacMurray's mustache made me just about lose my lunch. Barrymor...

Re: Welcome Author Phillip Done August 8-10!

Welcome to the Oasis, Mr. Done. I have been lucky enough to see Ms. Rutherford at one of my Turner Classic Movies Film Festival trips. She passed right by me with her friend Anne Jeffreys ( both wearing red ...and yes, I was too scared and dumbstruck to even speak. ) We all know that M-G-M had more ...
